Last night was the opening night for the 2018-19 NBA season, as you know many teams made some trades to try and get the edge on their opponents. The Lakers got LeBron James aka Lebron Jams, Rajon Rondo aka I can’t see over anybody and suck at defense, and JaVale McGee aka hows the weather down there. The Spurs also have gotten rid of their best defensive player for an ok offensive player Demar Derozen. So in my mind, the Raptors got the better end of the deal because they have Kyle Lowery and Kawhi Leonard now. Anyway, opening night consisted of two games the 76ers vs the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors vs the Oklahoma City Thunder. The games went as you probably expected with the Celtics winning 105-87 and the Warriors winning 108-100 over the Thunder.

The main scorers for the Celtics were Jason Tatum with 23pts and 9 reb and Marcus Morris with 16 pts and 10 reb. For the 76ers it was Joel Embiid with 23 pts, 10 reb, and Ben Simmons with 19 pts, 15 rebounds and 8 ast. for the other two teams OKC top scorers were Paul George with 27 pts and Steven Adams with 17 pts and 11 reb. And as you probably know Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant blew the Competition away by scoring 61 points combined which i’m pretty sure is more that half theit teams points. Stephen Curry shot 11 out of 20 from the field and made 5 3-pointers giving him 32 points on the night. With Kevin Durrant shooting lights out from mid-range he scored 27 points and put a number on every stat, with 1 OREB 7 DREB 8 Assists 1 STL and 1 Block, but he did have 3 turnovers. So that is what happened last night on opening night.

Who do you think has a good chance of winning the Championship this year?                      Who won MVP for opening night Stephen Curry, Kevin Durrant, Ben Simmons, Joel    Embiid, Jason Tatum, Marcus Morris, Paul George or Steven Adams?
