The Nets off the tip and now the Lakersstarting Group.

LeBron and Green make up the backcourt.

Davis is out there with Howard, and it's Cosma in at the small forward position.

Now here's Durant.

Dishes it to Jordan.

Pastor Irving Pocket for beyond the arc on the pre Bowl is good.

Operator.

Urban knows he has a dream.

Like a letter on a new team for Kyrie Irving Last season, he told Celtics fans, I'll be back if you'll just have.

But as the season wore on, it became asked me in July.

Hey, yeah, well, he's hungry for leadership role for a long time.

Celtics with such depth of talent now on this roster, perhaps a clear pecking.

Here's heiress following the basket by LeBron James.

Durant's on deep good and the exist goes.

Irving must know that Durant is looking to score the past.

He has such a quick trip past James over Durant.

Here's Davis.

It's another look on that one.

Good.

No basket feels better than a put back love getting rewarded for grinding it out on the glass outside Jordan and on the way from Irving for three on the N Brooklyn with triple like Irvin, feels the defense out.

Since then, he has room to shoot fire once he gets David Aldridge, get a chance to catch up with coach Frank Vogel on Dave.

What he had to say.

Well, Kevin gave him some broad strokes regarding the game, plan, said.

We want to work the ball into the paint, high percentage looks and then get to the foul line.

If we can, we'll see how they try to accomplish that throughout the game.

Thank you, David.

Open shot is on the money.

Irving's got eight.

They've come out of the locker, his four for four to start.

Now here's Green.

Passes it to Howard.

He kicks it to James and the wide open shot from Green and another basket for the Lakers.

Fantastic vision.

I mean, ground.

Always cognizant of everyone around here is with by Koosman downstairs from Durant.

Help that one impressive start here.

That's five straight makes to start.

Lakers trail by four James Looking around.

Davis, you aren't gonna be able to just get a shot and it's LeBron missing.

And here's Chandler, who brings it up for Brooklyn, and here's Harris from the art of Annette's another three.

They're getting a lot of their points outside the paint.

Three of their last five baskets are from three point range.

Green kicks to James and they double up James and stolen by Kyrie Irving.

Loose James against Katie and they double up Gene.

Here's Howard and that one drops for love.

The energy Howard plays feels like no one can contain him on the way up.

Irving against Green.

Is it up for Jordan on slam dunk by Jordan?

How about the vertical of Jordan easily rising up for the timely alley oop?

Slam LeBron outside and the shot goes in.

James has got seven points in the game.

Shots are just flowing for him right now, having a really strong quarter.

Durant deciding where to go with it.

And here's Chandler from the art.

That's good.

And it's Katie Rippy.

Assist.

Durant's got resist Tonight.

You can be someone open around the rent, keeps his eyes up, makes a play for a team.

Now here's green.

Six on the shot clock.

Who's my passes to?

Green launches it No good on that one, so Brooklyn will take it the other way.

Here's Irving Harris do get free shooting foul as the whistle blows will shoot two free throws that one on Davis.

Former number one overall pick.

Tremendous success early in his career, Bourbon continues to find ways.

Improve a career best season for Kyrie Irving in 2018 19.

Scoring just as great as ever.

But it was the other areas.

Playmaking, rebounding defense.

Where should be made tremendous strides.

1st 1 falls for and the Celtics expected Kyrie to become a better pass and defender in Boston.

They felt he had the capability.

You could argue that those improvements have elevated him from a great score to a great player in our league.

So we get some both his free throw shooting.

It's something they never need to worry about.

He doesn't even know how to go through a cold streak.

There's the past, James.

They're for Howard Hammers the alley crew.

This is the chemistry Howard has with this guy's fantastic it realizing when they go for Alan for three, Durant sinks the triple.

Durant's got six points on their shooting, the lights out from distance here.

Lakers trailed by 11.

James with it, he's got seven.

That's good, and it's his fourth basket of the game.

He's a strong four for six in there.

Beginning just flat out.

Fall apart defensively right now, especially on the interior.

That's leading by nine outside Irving.

Pastor Harris feeds it to Jordan.

There's big time.

Seems right over there.

Explain intensity right off the opening tip, especially on the offensive.

Yeah, they've been very aggressive, and they've taken early control in this game.

And after spending his first envy a decade with the Clippers, DeAndre Jordan bounced around last season a supreme athlete and rebounded at that center position.

Looking at here is out there now for the Nets.

Jared Allen's checked in for Channel and Spencer Dinwiddie subbed in for Harris.

What's up Short?

No good on the free throw and a nightly double double threat is DeAndre Jordan, but some dissatisfaction with his play last season.

His impact has held off just a bit from his peak, with sometimes great athletes have more of an adjustment as they enter their thirties.

Nothing soft about the put back there and why chance it right?

Take the dunk if you've got it, you guys.

But where was the box out?

No excuse letting him roll Matt freely on the glass.

Now here's Rondo passed a Cosmo that shot off the mark in when he was a nice tea Wando against serving on DeAndre.

Jordan throws it down, but here's the thing.

Urban draw so much attention from the defense.

I mean, there's always a guy left.

Rydell Rondo finds McGee passes in Fukushima Rebound, Brooklyn Now Deng Witty.

He's gotten some minutes, but nothing on the board yet.

Katie, that's for two.

They get it bad.

Back to Irving Ellen outside, just five on the clock train thin.

When he shot it off the Lakers trailed by 15.

Here's Rondo.

Chef Lee drops in the floor.

How about the concentration there by Rondo always got the antenna up.

When he's near the basket.

It's on the way from Irving for three.

Another shot.

Excellent tea That time here from McGee.

See the defense exhibits of passion.

It protects the rim right there.

James outside, that's another one for him is fifth in just seven shots.

It's hot as he's been.

It still has to be him, who leads the charge and helped turn this game around.

That's leading by 11 Irving dishes too dimwitted past Katie.

I got a good job on the boat.

Katie's got a points.

How many times have we seen a possession will take that from them today, ending with the basket, coming off a pretty out to Kozma for three on No good that time?

Let's go the other way with it.

Here's Irving Andi Banks in the lake, 12 points for him and their offense already in a flow.

Some stellar shooting to jump out to this lead.

And here's James will bring it up for the Lakers 15 point game.

So timeout called here the 1st 4 loss engines.

We're talking about number one options at the offensive end.

There's a mentality, right?

You gotta have a CZ.

The teams go to score, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Let's look at hard.

He could go over seven, and then he expects 27.

Have you ever seen Thompson when he said, Oh my God, Clay Thompson is off.

Last game, he only had 11 points.

Well, when that happens, you can bet your last dollar next game.

Look, he's gonna make every shot.

So what is again?

A short memory.

Whether you make a lot, so what I'm gonna do that again tonight.

And if you missed a lot the previous night, so what?

That wasn't this night.

Let's get it right now.

So for the Nets, Prince has checked in for Jordan and it's averted for Durant.

Troy Daniels.

He's checked in for Los Angeles and they double up James Asta.

Rondo.

LeBron left, fades back.

Here's McGee's on the slam dunk by McGee.

Well, that's just too easy.

From the minute he establishes position in this area, defense is done.

Tin witty outside Prince outside five to shoot right side.

Kicks it out to dinner with me.

Three pointer, No good.

Just doing the job on the backboard on the call, on the shot it sends into the line as well as he carried himself over the years, I'm amazed by the negativity about LeBron James.

I mean, all he's done is eight street trips to the finals.

Sometimes being a top makes you a target, and he can't get the 1st 1 Chris, you think about what LeBron's a company, not just on the, you know, his activist, his business acumen shut up in drivel.

That's what people want to do, Kevin.

But he's not listening and thank God for that.

It's about his power.

It threatens some people.

For whatever reason, he loved to knock you down a peg.

At least check in for Caldwell.

Pope on that trip.

Coming up empty.

Missing boat instincts.

The power.

I mean, Jay's remains a dominant figure on both ends.

Filed on the shot.

Picks up two points.

So one free throw coming up, unwilling to let up, even for a moment.

That's his killer instinct.

Just fanning the flames.

That's what you love about him.

He shows no mercy, even with a comfortable lead.

The Nets shooting, therefore shot at the foul line here.

What that free throw good from Kyrie Irving?

Yeah, and you gotta count the poor health to the Lakers last season, hampering their ability to compete the longest injury layoff in LeBron James career.

And all told, more than 200 games, Mr Injury Kid.

Now here's Rondo passed a McGee.

That one No good.

Excellent tea there from Alan.

Here's Prince, that's good lover.

With the assistance on the Nets.

Lead by 18 and you can't help but pick their defense apart.

They're completely and disarray.

James picks the run hits the three point pop.

Rondo's got five points so far, and every now and there, Rhonda will surprise you with the occasional tripper showing it off there with rain.

Now here is Levert.

Nothing yet on the scoreboard for him.

Tin Witty outside shoots the three after to Mrs to start the game.

He's on the board with that shot made with defense, is in disbelief here, triple after triple, just one second between the shot clock and game clock.

James against Prince.

Now here's LeBron.

He's guarded closely out to the wing.

The Lakers need to get a shot off here on here's Bradley from three, and as the first quarter wraps up already, a double digit lead next out in front, they lead by 18.

We'll get things started in the second quarter when we return, and Kevin Durant talked about his teammates and the versatility, this roster hand like a death like that.

We could play, you know, play big.

We could play small.

We can match up with a lot of different teams and it's just a matter of us going out there and playing consistent basketball.

It's easier said than done, but we like what we all right now, We just got to continue to keep getting better.

It's clear Katie is very happy playing with this group of guys.

That's why I signed here.

But you can bet Durant is going to be leading the charge and welcome back to the second quarter of action.

Plenty of basketball left to play, but this one has been one sided so far and the Nets pretty much in control here, it would seem, while the offense is clicking and they seem to have seen the momentum here early on.

How many coaches say We want to start fast now let's see if they can maintain that intention.
