Time to open the curtain on another NBA season.  The preseason tips off today in… Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates?  Who books these games?  Anyway, this is where you can post the news and notes from across the Association during the season.  Just remember to have fun and be respectful.  Enjoy!

The NBA is officially back tonight and it’s back with a bang!  What a way to begin the season than with a banner ceremony and one of the league’s best rivalries.  Here is the Opening Day schedule.

Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers tonight at 10 p.m.

I am placing bets on this as Dunk of the Year (too soon?).  The Pelicans’ Zion Williamson threw down a filthy slam on the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama.  This comes as the Spurs beat the Pelicans, 120-116, in overtime.

Welcome to the big time!  Cooper Flagg has arrived as the 18-year-old Mavericks rookie sensation pulled off a monster and-one poster dunk for his first signature NBA highlight.  Updates to come.

The Mavericks beat the Raptors, 139-129.

What a thriller tonight in Minneapolis!  Austin Reaves nailed the first game-winning buzzer-beater of the NBA season as the Lakers avoided a 20-point collapse, against the Timberwolves, 116-115.
