Adam's thoughts from Wednesday night, opening night for most NBA teams
Cavaliers over Celtics
-The Celtics are going to struggle in back-to-backs this season as they did last year.
-The Cavs win their first game, and maybe for the only time all year, have a better record than the Heat.
Nets over Pistons
-The Pistons could be this year's Nets.
-The Nets just need a handful more wins to match last year's total. Brook Lopez and Derrick Favors are going to be good together.
Heat over 76ers
-The Big Three weren't great, but they got a win.
-Evan Turner played well and looked like Philly's best player.
Knicks over Raptors
-Amare was good, and Wilson Chandler was better for the Knicks.
-It's going to be a long haul this year for Toronto.
Hawks over Grizzlies
-The Hawks get an easy win because Zach Randolph was M.I.A. in the post.
Kings over Timberwolves
-The Kings won a high scoring contest without Tyreke Evans, their best player.
Hornets over Bucks
-Andrew Bogut returns to action and records a double-double in the process.
-Chris Paul was magic with 16 assists.
Thunder over Bulls
-In a matchup of up-and-comers, the Thunder win. Durant hit his averages from last year exactly with 30 points and 7 rebounds.
Mavericks over Bobcats
-How are the Bobcats going to score points this year?
Spurs over Pacers
-By pulling away in the fourth quarter, the Spurs manage the easy win.
-Darren Collison, Danny Granger, and Roy Hibbert combine for 73 points.
Nuggets over Jazz
-Carmelo looked comfortable in Denver blue.
-Memo to Al Jefferson: The season started last night.
Warriors over Rockets
-These two teams combined to put up 260 points. Monta Ellis, Steph Curry, and David Lee will put up numbers all year.
Trailblazers over Clippers
-The Blazers net the nice win a back-to-back situation.
-Blake Griffin was really impressive going for 20 points and 14 boards. He also had an incredible play where he dribbled the length of the court and flicked a no-look bounce pass to his teammate for the score.
