45 points in game one — Ant Man made a statement in Miami 🐜 His chemistry with LaMelo & the rest of the Wolves could carry this team to new heights 📈 It’s clear that Minnesota will be must-watch all NBA season long 🤩

Is there anything LeBron James can’t do? 🐐 From Tyrese Maxey to Joel Embiid, Bron can fill in for any of his new teammates in Philly 🤝

“At the draft, I was like ‘Man, don’t put that type of pressure on this kid.’ ... From what he showed in Game 1, that might not be far off.” Boogie Cousins thinks Aday Mara could take care of Wemby for the Thunder 🔒 OKC found another gem in the NBA Draft 💎

LeBron brings a balance that allows Maxey and JB to shine for the Sixers 🤝 Lou Williams was impressed by how well this team fits together already this season 💯 Philly has an identity, and that should be a scary sight for the rest of the NBA 😈

"Jaylen Brown, healthy and locked in, is a top-10 player in this league." 📊 Whether it's JB, Embiid, Maxey or LeBron, Boogie Cousins thinks the 76ers will be best if they're an unselfish team 🗣️ @MichelleDBeadle | @boogiecousins

Jayson Tatum is fully healthy coming into this NBA season. But in the Celtics’ opening night loss to the Pistons, JT looked far from the peak of his powers. Boogie Cousins says Tatum’s prior Achilles injury won’t excuse poor play in Boston anymore 🗣️

Chandler Parsons says the beauty of the 76ers is their balance ⚖️ "LeBron guarded KAT. Jaylen Brown guarded Jalen Brunson...they just have to be on the same page on offense." @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons

Chandler Parsons on Jayson Tatum: "Jaylen Brown's out, you're the #1 guy. ... We're gonna be talking about MVP Jayson Tatum, or we're not. The ball is in his court." @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons

Boogie Cousins says Jayson Tatum can't lead Boston by only shooting jump shots 🙅‍♂️ "He's now the clear-cut lead guy for this Celtics group. He has to become better as an individual." @MichelleDBeadle | @boogiecousins

Lou Williams on Jayson Tatum: "JT is gonna be JT. But last night he played 38 minutes and shot 1 free throw. At some point, you gotta use your size and scoring ability...don't just settle for jump shots." @MichelleDBeadle | @TeamLou23

Chandler Parsons says Boston Celtics' typical style is NOT going to work this season ❌ "When that shot is not falling, they look really bad, really quick." @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons

Lou Williams says the Celtics can't continue to try and shoot their way out of problems 👎 "Boston's gotta find some aggression at some point. ... If they don't change their identity, it's gonna be tough for them in the Eastern Conference." @MichelleDBeadle | @TeamLou23

Boogie Cousins wonders if Detroit is trying to develop Ausar Thompson into their 2nd option 🤔 Lou Williams says the Pistons putting Thompson at point guard complicates his role as a scorer behind Cade Cunningham 🗣️ @MichelleDBeadle | @boogiecousins | @TeamLou23

Boogie Cousins still thinks Detroit should acquire Devin Booker 🔄 Chandler Parsons says Cade Cunningham carrying the offense puts more pressure on the Pistons defense 🗣️ @MichelleDBeadle | @boogiecousins | @ChandlerParsons
