The Trail Blazers must name an acting head coach to stand in while Chauncey Billups remains on leave. New assistant coach Tiago Splitter joined the Blazers after a head coach stint in Europe and Nate Bjorkgren served as head coach last December when Billups missed two games.

Atlanta's transition defense was really, uh, something last night. Wanted to see if the numbers matched my eyes. The Raptors racked up 27 hit-ahead passes, already matching their season-high from last year in Game 1. Hawks only gave up 35+ transition points 4X in 24-25.

Very weird not having the Raptors in Toronto to start the new season. This is their first time opening on the road since my first season on the beat: the lockout shortened 2011-12 campaign. This is what their lineup looked like that night in Cleveland (Dec. 26, 2011):
