From the first 2 days I’m going to make some early observations that could be totally right or completely wrong…

#1: Phoenix will have the worst record in the NBA, while they have good talent they just don’t seem to fit well. I see a lot of inconsistency, which is a shame because I like Booker and Jackson.

#2: Eric Gordon is going to be that 3rd guy in Houston that’ll make them more competitive than people think. (Not to say they are a in anyway not a top team)

#3: Indiana will score points but will preventnothing and vetted scored on a lot. Turner, Oladipo and Stepehenson will all have career years scoring but Indiana will be picking in the lottery.

#4: Boston are really going to miss Hayward who I think is their best player and the Wizards will be the next best team behind Cavs.

 We haven’t see the Bulls play this year so no.1 could be wrong.

1. I agree, Bulls will be the worst team in the League. I don’t think it’s up for debate.

 

 2.PHX has terrible PG play,Bledsole looked like a rookie in the first half last night, forcing shots, bad D, etc. they need a TRUE PG.

 

3. Utah won’t miss Gordon as much as you think, they play system ball and looked good last night.

 

4. Pacers will compete for the 8th spot in the east..they have talent and hungry players that were passed up by other teams..

1.)There’s some sophomores that look ready to take that next step and be key contributors to their team. Jaylen Brown, Domontas Sabonis, Buddy Hield, Dejounte Murray and Skal. All looked good.

2.) Houston looks great. James Harden is the best offensive player in the league

3.) I actually like Indy. They are a solid 8 man deep. There’s no real big Egos and they play good basketball. Collinson and Joseph both had great games lowkey. I think they can get a 6th seed in the east easy.

4.) nobody is scared of the warriors. I think they will have problems come playoff time this year and will probably be around 68-63 wins this year. The rest of the league is closing in on them.

 What are you talking about? Houston was getting their asses handed to them before Green got injured. It’s also 2 games into the season and Houston snuck one away from GS and got bailed out by the refs against a not very good Sacramento squad. Let’s all calm down before we get carried away.

1) Pop finally knows what do to with LaMarcus Aldridge. Recently, Pop admitted he tried to change Aldridge, which caused him to get lost in the system. By reconfiguring the offense to fit Aldridge’s strengths, he was able to thrive against the TWolves last night. With Kawhi out, this is an incredibly good sign, as the Spurs can reliably lean on Aldridge now.

2) The Wizards’ Achilles heal, once again, will be their bench. Their starting 5 is as strong as any in the East, but you can feel an immediate shift once bench guys step in. Oubre looked great, and Meeks can score, but there was a period of time Brooks put 5 bench guys on the floor and it was ugly to watch. The lack of bench depth makes Morris’ injury that more important. 

3) We all knew Giannis was primed to take the next step toward MVP candidacy, but I think I personally underestimated how drastic the improvement was going to be. If it’s possible, he looks even more dangerous than last year.

Boston has no rim protection so Giannis was literally just dunking all over Baynes all night. To be fair most of the league is like this nowadays and Giannis is bigger than alot of teams Centers (I’m looking at you Atlanta Hawks). Giannis is going to be the best player in the league lonce he can shoot.

 Nerlens Noel is effective off the bench. They have nothing else in the way of a rim protector.

 Pheonix and NJ will get blown out a lot.  

 Dejounte Murray is long and Jamal Murray isn’t a PG…again

 Okafor, DNP-CD…He gets cut before he gets traded.

 Watching john wall I realize he has been overlooked mainly due to other pgs catching fire around the league the past few years. I think he’s somewhat forgotten about. Top 5 pg but not top ten player. I think hes gonna take his game another level. He has a different look in his eyes and I always said if he can put it all together he would make us look foolish for ever saying dudes like kyrie/dame are ranked ahead of him. I think wall will make 1st team this year.
