Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment: It is legitimately so much more fun to overreact than it is to be reasonable.
So now that the 2022-23 NBA regular season has begun, we can look at some of the first games and get way too excited about things that may not mean all that much.
As players get adjusted to a new campaign, it is fairly common for some very wonky stuff to happen within the first few games of the season. While it isn’t likely that some of these hot starts are sustainable, it always enjoyable to take a minute to acknowledge some of those performances.
These could mean nothing, but who knows, maybe they represent some sort of breakout seasons for some of these players as well.
