Sure Strus broke the franchise record for 3s in a debut game

But we also get the honor of having the first flop technical foul call of all time thanks to DG

We also get to be the first victim of a blown flop call as well.

And the first game-winning shot of the season

Im so glad we won despite the refs!

    Same here

    Struss’s turkey (3 threes in a row) was super fun to see. When he did the heat check, man I wanted that to fall. Half ass thought he’d get to 10 maybe for the night.

    The flopping call was horrible. Garland is a tiny MF and Simmons is not. Not sure how they felt it was a flop.

    Also on history, first road opener win I think since 2000 so new thing there too worth mentioning.

      That’s crazy that LeBron never won an opening game when he played with us

      The flop also had 0 impact on the play at all. If anything the Nets had a 5 on 4 situation because DG was rolling toward the half court line, so the Nets get a free point? Just a silly rule that I don’t think will last beyond this season (or at least have better established boundaries next year).
