昨晚，马刺队迎来了他们酋长杯的首场比赛，对手是I-10公路上的老对手休斯顿火箭队。当我看到这场比赛是在亚马逊Prime视频上直播时，我着实吃了一惊——这是他们一份长达11年转播合同的一部分。我一度担心比赛只能看直播。让我感到欣慰的是，昨晚我回到家后依然能够观看比赛回放。
赛前节目由NBA传奇球星德克·诺维茨基 (Dirk Nowitzki)、史蒂夫·纳什 (Steve Nash)、布雷克·格里芬 (Blake Griffin) 和犹多尼斯·哈斯勒姆 (Udonis Haslem) 坐镇。与《NBA内幕》节目中无处不在的幽默和讽刺相比，他们之间的情谊显得格外融洽。不过，让一群拥有如此渊博篮球知识的退役球员坐在一起分析比赛，这种形式倒是与《NBA内幕》有异曲同工之妙。亚马逊Prime视频解说团队的球商指数简直爆表。我个人非常喜欢。
关于本场比赛，还有一件事值得一提。杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 领到了来自阿门·汤普森 (Amen Thompson) 的一次一级恶意犯规。索汉用双手执行了两次罚球，这与他久经考验的单手姿势有所不同。
今晚，马刺队将迎战鹈鹕队，这是他们背靠背赛程的第二场比赛（也就是所谓的SEGABABA）。双方曾在10月24日交手，当时马刺队通过加时赛取胜。这是双方本赛季四次交锋中的第二次。
马刺加油！

Open Thread: Amazon Prime delivers on the Spurs Emirates Cup competition
Last night the Spurs played their first Emirates Cup game against the I-10 rival Houston Rockets. I was taken aback when I saw the game was on Amazon Prime, part of an 11-year contract. I was nervous that the games were only available live. I was pleased to be able to watch the game when I returned home last night.
The pregame show consisted of NBA greats Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Blake Griffin, and Udonis Haslem. Their camaraderie is distinctly amiable compared to the humor and sarcasm that permeates on Inside the NBA. There is a comparison in having ex-players with that much knowledge sitting together and analyzing games. The basketball IQ on Amazon Prime quotient is off the charts. I quite enjoyed it.
One honorable mention regarding the game. Jeremy Sochan was on the receiving end of a Flagrant 1 technical foul at the hands of Amen Thompson. Sochan shot both free throws with two hands, deviating from his tried and true single hand form.
Spurs play the Pelicans tonight on the second game of a back to back, or SEGABABA. They played the Pelicans on October 24th and won in overtime. This is their second meeting of four this season.
Go Spurs Go!
