NBA starts tonight. Who ya got?

It’s the Dubs until it’s not.

NBA? What's that?

BleachedAnusDawg

There are a tons of "if's" around most teams not the Dubs.

IF Kawhi is back and stays healthy the Clippers could beat them.

IF the Bucks get a healthy Middleton back they could beat them.

IF Ben Simmons isn't a headcase and Durant balls out, and Kyrie balls out and stays healthy, they could beat them.

Safe money is on GS, but the field has a strong argument.

Don’t sleep on the Griz and the Pelicans.

CJ is a beast now that he doesn’t have any Blazer @haie in his life.

Looking like the field this year.

Giannis and the Bucks look like the early leaders.

GS needs to learn how to defend again. Their young guys can't guard a lamp post.

I watched a little bit of the Lakers and Clippers game the other week since Lil Piss was being NBA curious.

It's painful to watch NBA regular season games. Like watching paint dry.

PurpleThrobber

Pels are a fun watch. They play hard.

I’ve said it since they lost to the Warriors last year, barring injury the Griz are winning the West. I think they’ve got their reads down and Morant is ungaurdable.

The NBA Rising Stars mini-tournament last night was entertaining AF.

I like the target score thing.

Dame wins the 3 point contest only because he put on another team's jersey.

Can they just nuke the All-Star game, and just do a skills challenge competition that has a different 1-3 players from each conference compete in each event, and after scoring multiple different events, come up with a winning conference?

Just group the three point and dunk contests into this format as events within it as well.

Griz solid. Pelicans could never get healthy. Dubs are healthy at the right time.

Let's go with Nuggets v. Dubs in the West. Bucks v. Celtics in the East.

Dubs v. Bucks would be entertaining.

But it's gonna be Nuggets v. Bucks - which will be the lowest TV ratings in years - though arguably the two best players on the planet.

Bucks.

Reaves and Hachimura. Holy fuck what a performance.

Lakers got Hachimura for nothing. Kind of shit they used to do. Might be back. Have to see how Sac/GS series turns out.

Phoenix looks frontrunnerfag at this time.

Rui is legit.

Clippers/PHX looks like the series to watch. Kawhi is back to being Kawhi.
