Started last night. Warriors got blown out at home against the Spurs. Leonard with 35. A lot of interesting story lines to follow this season. Cavs looked great last night too.
Think the cavs repeat? Or do the Warriors redeem themselves? I think the Spurs will be solid all season too. Is there any team in the East that can challenge the Cavs?
The pacers made some good moves in the off season. Should bold well in the long run. Go Pacers Go!!!
I agree the addition of Jeff Teague and Al Jefferson made the Pacers a very nice team. I would think they are only team with the tiniest chance to beat the Cavs in the playoffs.
Hoping the Warriors redeem themselves.
I hope the Thunder beat the Warriors in the playoffs. The Warriors will implode after the season. Curry isn't even going to re sign with the Warriors IMO...

Eastern Finals: Cavs over Pacers
Western Finals: Thunder over Spurs
Finals: Cavs over Thunder in 6 games
Ya know, beach bum, I'd take that :D
Westbrook is the closest thing to Kobe back in the day. I think the Thunder are filled with a scrappy defensive minded roster and I wouldn't count them out of taking down the Spurs or Warriors.
Wow! You got my pacers in the ECF! I sure hope your right...
I personally think the Jazz will shock a lot of people this year. I also believe the Nuggets will overachieve
I think my Spurs make the finals this year and upset Cleveland
I think the Thunder struggle early but maybe I'm wrong. They'll be fine throughout the season. I believe they play GS next week.
Pacers up by 4 with :48 left in the game. Myles turner has had a monster night!
AD has 36 of Nola's 61 in the 3rd so far!
Thunder struggling with Philly.
Pacers give up the 4 point lead and we are in OT. The pacers have taken a 4 point lead in the OT. Going to be a fun year!

Thunder up! 1-0

We're ahead of the Warriors!
Only 81 to go for a perfect season ;D
Minnesota opened up with a 20-3 lead on Memphis, only to let the Grizz come back and win. Wolves are still very young but have a ton of talent.
Not too far into the season and Cleveland is 6-0..looking like they won't be touched in the East. Warriros have already lost two. It seems like OKC, Clippers, SA, and GS are all going to be competitive this season in the West.

pacers could challenge them. They will be tough to beat tho with the best of all time on there team!
Pacers look bad against the Bobcats! PG 13 has to keep his cool and not kick balls into the stands...😏 Got to get better its that simple.
Pacers should get back on track tonight against Philadelphia.
Paul George just hasn't looked the same since that injury. Doesn't look near as explosive. Maybe he'll get that back over the course of the season

at times he will look like his old self. He seems to be letting it get between his ears a little. He should be fine in the big picture but as for right now it is getting to him.
Pacers win in ot over (Philadelphia 122-115)If they don't get it together this will be another long season! 🙈🤒😏
Pacers lost to the 76ers!?🤔 I don't know what is going on. But it needs to get fixed fast!😡
I never thought I would say this.... But this might be the only year the Clippers can actually win a title. They look very good.
Pacers lose again!😡 This is not acceptable! I know Paul was out with a bad knee but still some one else has to step up in that situation. McMillen you need to step it up... Are get to stepping one of the two. We're to good to be at the bottom of the central.
Pacers set at 18-18 3rd in the central. 9.5 games out of 1st place.
Somebody let me know when the Knicks get good again.
Saw Vince Carter playing for the Grizzlies last night on TV against the Clippers. Brings back some memories.
Pacers 123 NY 109 Final
The Western Conference is LOCKED for matchups in the 1st round with 2 games remaining in the regular season....
(1)Warriors
(8)Blazers
(4) or (5) Jazz/Clippers- these two teams will be playing but can still flip to either 4 or 5 seed
(2)Spurs
(7)Grizzlies
(3)Rockets
(6)Thunder
-Rockets and Thunder is a 1st round match up of that quality we do not see often
-Spurs and Grizzlies will be hard fought and defensively minded
I'm hoping the Grizzlies can pull one out of their butt and win this series. Probably won't happen. But besides Leonard, I'm not too overly impressed by the Spurs. I honestly don't know how they've won 60+ games, but I guess that is the Pop magic at work.
I have tickets to game 4 ;D I'm hoping that isn't the closeout game!
Spurs have never been an impressive team. They just beat you with sound fundamentals
I got my tickets to game 4 Saturday night as well in Memphis should be fun

I think that's exactly what makes them impressive. They aren't flashy, they play good defense, and they make opponents defend everyone. Kawhi Leonard may be the most complete player in the league.
How about those Grizzlies?
So long OKC see you next year!!

I know, but Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili aren't near the players they used to be. I don't think this Spurs team is near as good as years past, even though they won 60+games.
Side note, if the Grizzlies even had a semi-elite guard that could defend the perimeter, Memphis would be winning this series. How many times are Troy Daniels and Andrew Harrison going to float to the middle of the lane to help off (when you already have a 7 footer for a rim protector) and leave Patty Mills (or any of their other guards) wide open on the 3pt line? I realize some of these kids are young. But with a bit more discipline out on the perimeter, the Grizz could easily be winning this series.
Ginobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The finals are who pretty much everyone thought it would be. What do y'all think, will the Cavs repeat? Warriors present some matchup problems I think, as they do against anyone. I don't think anyone on GS can stop Kyrie or Lebron though.

wouldn't that be something to see. I don't know if they can continue to shoot 50% from 3. I am pulling for the cavs but the warriors have looked like the better overall team so far. Except of course for the historic exlplosion of points in game 4.
If they rain in threes with that type of proficiency they are unbeatable. But the Warriors really need to chop the head off soon or we could experience history again. Momentum is a strange animal......and so is the human psyche.

I agree.... If the Cavs pull some magic tonight I think it will go to 7 games.
Same thinking here. Game 7 would give Lebron opportunity to pull off another historical feat. If accomplished would move him up to #3 on my all-time list.
Paul George was just traded to the OKC Thunder... Chris Paul went to the Rockets a few days ago. The arms race is on in the West. If OKC gets a lights out 3 point shooter to compliment Paul George and Westbrook they can challenge the Warriors in a 7 game series I think. Maybe not win it but that would be fun to see.

JJ Redick leaving LA for the Sixers for a 1 year 23 Mil deal
Some people chase rings....others just want a paycheck I guess...
Hearing rumors of Amir Johnson to the Sixers as well
The JJ Redick deal was smart for both sides... No big name guys want to go to the 76er's and that is the team that can give Redick a huge deal cause they have so much cap space with so many players on rookie deals still. Sign him a one year deal and if the trajectory looks as it is then he can re sign for a longer deal at a lower yearly price if he wants next year or leave again to another team. The East looks so bad that the 76er's may be able to jump up to a 6 or 7 seed next season. They paid him double what he is probably worth in the open NBA market but the 76er's have so much cap space they just threw it at him. He can be a piece if the young guys stay healthy that I can see getting to about 45 wins in a weak Eastern Conference.

If he comes back healthy from his injury he can be a really good piece.... I have never seen him quite as a possible All Star level player, but I am sure he will have plenty of open looks playing with two stars now
The big name still being waited on is certainly Gordon Hayward.... At first I thought he would for sure stay in Utah a couple weeks ago. They love him out there in Salt Lake City. But now that Paul went to the Rockets, Butler to the Timberwolves, and George to OKC then I see Hayward splitting to Miami or Boston. I bet he will want in the East for sure now. The Jazz are the best defensive team in the league and still might only be able to muster a 5 or 6 seed as a pretty dang good team playing in the new look West if he stayed. He can go to Boston and be the 1 or 2 seed or Miami and bring them automatically way up in the East. Miami went 31-10 in their last 41 games last season after starting 10-31 in the first half. Look out for them if they land Hayward. Paul Millsap could also add a lot to a team at a high level for another 2 or 3 years definitely as the other big name.

Hopefully sabonis can be a good addition as well!

This will be the look of the league in my opinion next year in the REGULAR SEASON....
West
1.Warriors
2.Thunder
3.Rockets
4.Spurs (the 2 through 4 seed will come down to the final days of the season they will be so close in record)
5.Nuggets
6.Timberwolves
7.Grizzlies
8.Blazers
9.Pelicans
10.Jazz
11.Clippers ( I think the 5-11 seeds here will be fairly close in record with a few solid teams missing the playoffs)
12.Kings
13.Lakers
14.Mavericks (I think everyone except the Suns would make the playoffs in the East)
15.Suns
East
1.Celtics
2.Cavs
3.Wizards
4.Bucks
5.Raptors
6.Heat
7.Sixers (what a 2 year jump from their 10-72 record two seasons ago)
8.Pistons
9.Hornets
10.Knicks
11.Magic (I think anyone up to here can get one of the last playoff spots)
12.Hawks
13.Bulls
14.Pacers
15.Nets (I think the bottom 4 in the East will be really bad because they are all rebuilding for the future)
I like it. But elaborate a little bit on how the Thunder make this giant leap. I still have the Spurs and Rockets well above them. But these are predictions so I would like to read your rationale on OKC.

I guess I am banking on the Thunder getting another three point shooter. Paul George will help that, but they need another one cause they were really bad at three's last year. One of the worst in the NBA if not the worst. Then I think losing some of those role players in Houston even with the addition of Paul will hurt them in the regular season. I do think they are built better for the postseason now though. Then with the Spurs Leonard is the man, but I think those players around him will be another year older and I think Pop will rest them throughout the year some and drop some games in the regular season. However, I think it will be very close between those three teams all sitting in the ball park of 53-56 wins and will all fluctuate between the 2 and 4 seed all year.
Sound reasoning. My biggest question is Aldridge with the Spurs. Will he be the Aldridge from previous years, last year's playoff Aldridge, worse, or replaced? The center position for the Spurs is a big question mark. I agree with Houston being built well for a playoff run. I will sit back and see how the Thunder gel. Pop has quietly added Leonard, Mills, and Simmons for youth and energy but for sure will rest Parker*, Ginobili*, and the older gents.
The West is so tough.

Yes & yes. The games aren't entertaining because the league is watered down with a lack of good basketball players. Elite athletes, yes, but not necessarily good basketball. On your last point, I'd counter that outside of about 20% of the league, there is not 'great basketball.' Decent entertainment, but not great basketball.
I have seen enough NBA in person now to say the talent is not down.... NBA is the hardest sport to make it pro out of the major sports in the sense that only first round picks are guaranteed to make a roster spot. With only 13 roster spots for 30 teams your odds to make it to the NBA are slim to none. Even garbage teams like the Suns have a guy like Devin Booker who can throw up 70 points in a game. Compared to college very very few teams have a guy that is capable of taking a game over himself. I say this as a person that loves the college basketball atmosphere when a big crowd shows up. The only thing that matches that is postseason NBA games when it comes to the atmosphere.
I am a huge NBA fan. I think that athleticism in the league is as great as it has ever been. I think rule changes have allowed for many with lesser skills of ball handling, passing, and shooting to be able to exist as long as they are athletic enough to do what is needed for that team. As far as star power, the league is in a good place with Lebron, KD, Curry, Westbrook, Harden, etc. There are some exceptionally skilled players in the league now. But the evolution of the game and the rule changes allow lesser skilled players to flourish anyway; of course that has always existed to some degree (Wilt and Shaq couldn't shoot free shots; all the stars of the 80s walked without it getting called. I am also a believer that the league rules allowed for more physicality in the 80s and 90s - not that that was necessarily better but players who had the ball a lot had to know how to dribble and pass well and shooters had to be good even with much contact.) I do believe it is at a time when comparisons to past is fun but very difficult to do. Shooting: Curry/KD vs Bird or Miller; Driving: Harden/Westbrook vs MJ; Finishing: Leonard/Lebron vs. Dr. J; Defense: Leonard vs. Cooper or Pippen. It is a lot of fun; there are some greats; but it is hard to tell since it has evolved so much. Just some ramblings from a lifelong basketball fan.
Very good points by rattler... I definitely agree on all the above. One thing that has changed now is the simple mathematics of putting points on the board in a different more efficient way. Shooting 33% from the three point line is the same as shooting 50% from two's. A team like the Warriors that have 4 or 5 guys that can shoot that high of a percentage from the three point line changed the game forever. The Rockets were so successful in the regular season because they bombed three's away like no other. Look how good the Cavs can look when they are splashing three's. Just imagine if the Cavs don't blow game 3 in the finals. I imagine the Warriors still win, but I think we see a 6 game or probably 7 game series.
We see it through the same lens.
More ramblings: I still believe Bird and Curry (no offense to other great shooters) are the greatest shooters I've witnessed. But it is next to impossible to choose who is better due to the game and rules. Rules led to dominant big men in Bird's day so he took fewer outside shots than today's great shooters. Bird could hit shots with defenders hanging onto him, shoving him, etc due to allowance of more physicality.
Would Bird put up tons of threes if he played in today's NBA? Could Curry hit these high percentages if physicality were still allowed? Either way, both are incredible and I enjoy watching them and their respective games.
Bird led the league in made 3 pointers one year, and he made 86

Pat Riley had a great quote about Bird - he said he'd take Jordan to take the shot with a game on the line; he'd want Bird to take the shot with his life on the line.
Great quote! Sums it up very well.

Also, I heard the Cavs are getting the Celtics first round pick which originally was the Nets so we are talking a top 3 pick in next years draft for the Cavs and Jae Crowder. I think both sides got a lot of good from this trade. I don't think anyone saw this coming.

It will definitely be interesting if Lebron does actually leave.... Cleveland got that pick which was originally was the Nets. They better thank the Nets for that trade where they sent Boston all those picks a couple years back. The Eastern Conference finals sure did take a plot twist for next May. There won't be a lot of love between the two teams for sure.
