After a memorable season last year, we’ll get our first look at the new season as the preseason starts tonight in Quebec City.  Let’s have fun and enjoy as this will be your home for news and notes throughout the season.

Great news, everybody!  It’s Opening Day and there are three huge games to start the season off with a bang. Here’s the full schedule for today.

Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons today at 3 p.m.
Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks tonight at 7 p.m.
Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs tonight at 9:30 p.m.

Every party needs a pooper.  LeBron James and Jaylen Brown debuted for the 76ers with a 106-100 win over the defending champion Knicks on banner night at Madison Square Garden.

Two new-look teams are about to go at it.  LaMelo Ball and the Timberwolves are playing Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Heat as the superstars make their debut for their new teams.  Updates to come.

The Timberwolves beat the Heat, 131-106.

Time for a great rivalry to be reignited.  The Warriors are playing the Lakers, who are playing a regular-season game without the 76ers' LeBron James for the first time in eight seasons.  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  That is just nasty!  The Lakers' Luka Dončić nailed a deep three at the end of the first half and let the Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg hear it before heading to the locker room.

The Lakers beat the Warriors, 127-105.

You got to love when things get testy in the association.  The Pacers’ Aaron Nesmith’s hard foul on the Mavericks’ Cooper Flagg ignited a scuffle in a 121-105 Mavericks win.

This man is otherworldly.  The Spurs' Victor Wembanyama put together one of the best performances in NBA history with a 52-24-8 stat line in a 112-111 win over the Mavericks.

This guy is on an otherworldly tear right now.  The Lakers' Luka Dončić nailed a three-quarters-court buzzer-beater from 62 feet out before halftime for the biggest basket of his career in a 124-118 win over the Trail Blazers.

At this point, I would start writing the check and wait to see what the fine (and the length of the suspension) will be.  The Rockets' Marcus Smart was ejected after swinging at the Warriors' Charles Bassey during a heated altercation.  Updates to come.

The Rockets beat the Warriors, 115-108.
