NBA OPENING NIGHT REACTIONS!!! Plus, looking ahead to Wednesday's NBA games

from NBA Takedown · host Shawn Hardie, Jeff Johnson, Jonathan Macri

Jon, Jeff and Shawn begin with an earnest discussion about Carmelo Anthony's outfit choice on his first regular season broadcast as a lead analyst for the NBA on NBC. Next they talk about the game of the night and maybe the NBA's game of the year, OKC vs Houston, starting with the major takeaway that Alperen Sengun is now an All-NBA lock. They then touch on other stories from the game including whether Reed Shepard is any good, whether our opinion of the Thunder is any different, and if the Rockets might have 3 All-Stars. Next they hit Lakers / Warriors and go over the biggest takeaway from that game (Jonathan Kuminga SZN!!!) plus other topics like whether Ayton is already on the outs in LA already, does Luka win scoring leader or NBA MVP, and might the Warriors be…really good? Lastly, they go game by game and say one thing we’re looking forward to from each game on Wednesday's NBA slate. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
