.. My expanded piece on the what was and what’s ahead here.

…. Or Lucas Kaplan’s latest updates before regular season tip-off.

……. Or Brian Fleurantin’s Opening Night preview.

From Brian’s preview:

Injuries

Bojan Bogdanovic, Trenton Watford, and Day’ron Sharpe are out for the Nets. Cody Zeller, Kobe Bufkin, Seth Lundy, and Dominick Barlow are out for the Hawks.

The game

With a new season comes new expectations, and for Cam Thomas, a lot will be on his young shoulders. Thomas will get the bulk of the shots, and he’s already shown in his career that he can heat up and get buckets in a hurry. It’s a bit different when you’re the first name in the scouting report, so things will be a lot different for the former LSU Tiger. His shots at the rim have increased each season he’s been in the league, and when you get downhill, good things happen.
