NFT: NBA Starts tonight - Thread

Yeah yeah yeah. Same two teams. GS is gonna win it.

I dont have time for that. The East is going to be a ton of fun. Lebron was smart to leave as I think both Boston and Philly were going to surpass the Cavs this year anyways. Looking forward to watching...

- AD take the throne as best player.
- Debacle in Minnesota.
- Lavar going public how Lebron is ruining Lonzo.
- Harden choking in the playoffs..... again.
- The Thunder missing the playoffs... you heard it here first.
- Major trades. Watch out for Lillard and Kemba.
- Rookie class. Think this one is going to be a good one.

Mavs and Cavs

are surprise playoff teams this year. GS beats TOR in the NBA finals.

Thank. Freaking. God.

West will be fun, though Dubs are obvious favorites. I'm curious to see the LeBron Lakers. Also, the Wolves are a complete trainwreck. Yikes.

The East should come down to the Cs or Raptors. Knicks will suck, but that's to be expected. KD, summer 2019. Please God.

Hopefully my fantasy team

Will be more exciting to follow than the Knicks. Got stuck with 12th pick in 12 team league but with IR spot I was able to draft Cousins in the final round to stash.

feels like the wizards

Denver & Utah aren't the sexiest of teams/franchises, but they'll be good this year.

I pray that OKC misses the playoffs....

dep026 : 10/16/2018 2:20 pm : link

Golden State
Houston
Lakers
Jazz
Nuggets
Pelicans
Twolves
Blazers

Let those be the top 8....PLEASE!

is the goods.

Pretty boring night

dep026 : 10/17/2018 8:54 am : link

Sixers have NO shooters outside Redick.
Boston is going to be really good.
Warriors shot abysmal and still won.
I still hate OKC eve without Westbrook.

sixers will go nowhere

nygiants16 : 10/17/2018 9:14 am : link

unless simmons learns how to shoot, second half celtics gave him nothing he was afraid to shoot..

You can tell brett brown just does not want to play fulz

Fultz...

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/17/2018 9:46 am : link

Man. He has bust written all over him. He was invisible last night.

Tatum is so damn good.

So Boston

Metnut : 10/17/2018 9:48 am : link

is likely to get another two lottery picks in the 2019 draft, in addition to having their own pick?

Yes. I believe they have the Kings first, provided it's not one overall.

nygiants16 : 10/18/2018 2:11 pm : link

still make the playoffs, but i dont think they take the jump people expect...

they will dominate bad teams but against good teams simmons will struggle, you saw in the second half against boston no shooting killed them

How about The Brow last night?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/18/2018 2:27 pm : link

32 pounds, 16 boards, 8 assists, 3 blocks, & 3 steals.

Dude is a machine. He signed with Klutch Sports Group a couple of weeks back so I fear, barring a trade, he'll be a Laker in summer 2020. Rich Paul, LBJ's buddy, runs Klutch.

Kawhi looked like his usual self last night too.

Simmons needs to develop a shot. He's got the potential to be a transcendent player.

I don't see it with Fultz. I watched that entire game & you wouldn't even know he was out on the floor. It's early, but it's pretty clear Ainge fleeced Philly with that deal.

155-150 final written all over it. Little to no defense tonight at Wells Fargo.
