What happened
The opener in New Orleans went 123-120, and the fanbase admitted it was "never been this excited for a season opener in my life lol," one poster confessing "I could cry man, I missed winning basketball." Then Dallas came to town and the whistles took over in a 105-121 loss, the week's hinge, with the room howling "This ref ball is fucking incredible" and wondering how Nesmith earned the technical. Brooklyn absorbed 136-109. At 2-1, the officials remain the most hated player on the roster.
