Oh well. I feel like this Celtics core can win one, but they're just not ready yet. We're on to next year...

oh, wait, did the timberwolves win it??

yeah i really hope they can build on this year and get back.
woulda liked to see Horford win it since he's gettin up there, but at same time it was nice seeing the Warriors redeemed after all they went thru last few years.
-Also, Steve Kerr... is amazing coach i think.

Rest in peace Bill Russel 

watching Jazz-Wolves tonite

Timberwolves starting lineup adding GObert lookin pretty stacked.

conversely wow Utah gutted their team in the offseason.

Yeah don't even recognize the jazz team anymore.
Lakers clippers was wild good to see John wall back but the AD fall was stressful.

Raptors are all 6'8" and fun as hell to watch every night.

our boys looking good this year, that Brunson signing was exactly what the doctor ordered

and Hartenstein>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Noel

Getting high hopes this year

Massive OT win by the Blazers last night over the Suns!

Obviously it's only been two games, but maybe we are going to be better than expected?

Dame just dropped back to back 41 point games, so I think it's safe to say he's back at full strength.

We added Jerami Grant and Josh Hart and Justis Winslow are contributing so we are actually looking competitive in the forward department for the first time in years.
 
Simons hasn't been amazing but I have no doubt he'll build on his breakout year and he has hit some key shots. Our rookie Sheldon Sharpe is NBA ready and has a high ceiling.

All that and we have GP2 who hasn't played a game for us yet.

However, the center position is a problem, Nurk is still frustratingly inconsistent and we don't have any real talent behind him. If we can somehow move Nurk for an upgrade, maybe if we package him with one of our guards, then we could be for real. Until that weak link is addressed, I think we'll only be so good.

Having said all that, we're off to a hot start and I'm looking forward to an entertaining season!

yeah its a shame how Nurk's career has played out TBH and how its been tied to the teams success or lack there of over the last few years... imagine the last 5 years of Dame (and Mcculough) with JOkic instead 

Knicks almost have a functional roster this year with an actual starting point guard with experience.
hope they all can stay healthy.

Well Simons came alive with a 22 point 3rd quarter and 7-12 3 pointers for the game. Blazers gonna be tough on nights when Ant and Dame are both firing.

4-0, onto the next!
