It's the most wonderful time of the year (first game of the year!). Hou @ Jazz Game 1 of many.

Hayward is fine. I'm really trying not to get on the "Kanter sucks" bandwagon, but it is getting more difficult by the minute.

Why Kanter's numbers look better than Hayward's. I didn't watch the game so stats can be misleading.

Enes had great defense on Harden 2 times. Can't be expected to guard Papanikolau. That guy plays like a 3.

Papanikolau should be guarded by Hayward, Burks or Hood! But it is well known that blaming Kanter for everything has become a national sport!

By the way Rockets made the run when Kanter was benched.

The Kanter hate is unreasonable here. He's doing fine.

Uh no. I think if Kanter stays on Howard the second half, the guy might beat Wilt Chamberlain's scoring record.

Well usually he plays the 3 but in that position Enes was the closest to him 2 times. He has to stop this mistakes he isnt a rookie anymore.

I want to see Booker guard Papanikolaou.

He had a quiet half. Not a big deal. Kanter's presence on the floor really hurts given how effective Gobert has been.

Gobert has been better than Kanter in this game. It's ok.

I was honestly THIS close to picking him up on my fantasy team before the season started.

Decided to jokingly draft John Lucas III instead. ****ing kill me.

Same. I jokingly punch my own crank all the time. Guys at the office can't get enough of it.

Ok, so who had half time of game number 1 for the first meltdown of the year?

We should feed the ball inside in hopes Howard gets in foul trouble - he has 3 fouls now.
