I'm gonna start this thread before the tip-off night tomorrow.
My predictions of the season are as the following:

Championship: Lakers
Finals matchup: Lakers VS Celtics
Final four: Lakers, Clippers, Celtics, Bucks

Regular season MVP: Leonard/Giannis/AD
Finals MVP: Lebron

ROY: Zion
Charlotte Hornets final standing: 14th in the East

Let's go!

I can get behind all of that except for the ROY pick. I think that Zion will miss too much time due to injuries.

10/21/2019 12:50:53 PM

Wow. I'm glad to hear your mostly full agreement.

[Edited on October 21, 2019 at 1:52 PM. Reason : For regular season MVP, I'll put Curry onto the list as well. He's still solid.]

that seems a little too optimistic

10/21/2019 2:06:03 PM

Cleveland or Atlanta could be worse, slightly possible.

10/21/2019 2:15:45 PM

But, the desperation about the new season starts to grow now....

10/21/2019 6:27:21 PM

zion already out two months. If guys like him weren't required to go to college for a year, he could've made millions last year.

10/22/2019 6:40:26 PM

Championship: Clippers
Matchup: clippers/bucks
MVP: Leonard
Finals MVP: Leonard
ROY: Ja Morant
Hornets: 24-58

10/22/2019 6:55:52 PM

Hornets: 16-66

10/22/2019 8:24:44 PM

ROY candidates: Zion, Coby White, Tacko Fall.

10/22/2019 8:49:30 PM

lebron looked completely lost out there last night. I've never seen him like that before.

10/23/2019 10:56:23 AM

He's definitely gonna retire soon, one or two more years. But some of his stats will surpass a few HOFs if he remains healthy this year. He just tries to put his name in the history I guess.

He an old, in a young man's game

[Edited on October 26, 2019 at 1:51 AM. Reason : And is focused on a post BB career

[Edited on October 26, 2019 at 1:53 AM. Reason : ]

10/26/2019 1:48:22 AM

he's 34, not 74

10/26/2019 2:56:31 AM

He's already top 50 in career games played and top 20 in career minutes played. He's played more minutes than anyone currently in the league.

10/26/2019 4:43:52 AM

Did Harden and curry go to the same 3pt clinic this summer jeez

10/27/2019 11:06:03 PM

Curry is definitely becoming the greatest shooter of all time, surpassing Miller and Allen.

10/28/2019 12:44:49 PM

Where's the thread about muh dubs???

10/28/2019 1:00:06 PM

^^ And even Obama taught him in person how to shoot.

10/28/2019 1:32:32 PM

Well he's 4/20 so far

[Edited on October 28, 2019 at 2:12 PM. Reason : ? ]

10/28/2019 2:11:32 PM

curry's decline makes sense given the recent departures in the organization, but wtf Harden?

[Edited on October 28, 2019 at 3:45 PM. Reason : k]

10/28/2019 3:44:53 PM

They pass their prime time already perhaps.

Nah

10/29/2019 11:02:38 AM

Zion and Pelican is the biggest joke this season so far. Pelican needs to pray for his comeback. The first two months and 20-30 games will be given up probably. Hopefully he's not another Greg Oden.

10/29/2019 11:06:13 AM

<5 games into the season and Curry is washed up, along with Lebron already.

Ah, TWW...

10/29/2019 12:08:45 PM

You're judging tdub by shoot posts?

10/29/2019 1:03:40 PM

I never criticize Curry or Lebron.

10/29/2019 1:11:47 PM

Curry out with broken hand.

10/31/2019 12:48:35 AM

Muh dubs have had so much adversity already this season

Heat's Kendrick Nunn is the new Jeremy Lin:

Quote :

"Undrafted point guard Kendrick Nunn has begun his Miami Heat career on a record pace, scoring more points in his first five games than anyone in the past 25 years except Kevin Durant and Jerry Stackhouse. His 28-point performance against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night pushed his points total to 112, the most by any player in their first five games with the Heat -- including LeBron James (102) and Dwyane Wade (57)."

[Edited on November 1, 2019 at 10:25 AM. Reason : undrafted, underdog, set record in his starting debut]

11/1/2019 10:23:56 AM

Lol curry is out for three months. Tubs is done

11/1/2019 8:24:55 PM

Harden and Gordon have been mind blowingly bad from 3 this season Jesus

11/1/2019 9:32:58 PM

Thank God for Russ

11/1/2019 9:41:13 PM

He's been good. Also bad from 3 but expected and somehow better than Harden and Gordon

11/1/2019 11:03:23 PM

I don't really like the offense by LAL the last couple plays, settling for Davis fadeaways, even though they made one of the two.

11/2/2019 12:00:07 AM

Wish Dwight would have got called for holding Curry

11/2/2019 1:17:38 AM

AD/Howard & Lebron play like Shaq & Kobe combo.

So the Warriors are going to be one of the worst teams in the league and get a high pick/Curry/Thompson all back next year. Repeat of 1996-1997 Spurs when Robinson sat out and they landed Tim Duncan?

11/7/2019 8:22:22 PM

Who in college right now is as good as Tim Duncan?

11/7/2019 8:59:40 PM

"They became the second Lakers duo in the last 45 years to combine for 500 or more points in L.A.'s first 10 games of a season. Anthony Davis (263 PTS) and LeBron James (240 PTS) are the first Lakers since Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant who reached that total twice: 520 points in 2000-01, 566 in 2001-02."

11/13/2019 1:09:34 PM

Was the officiating in rockets/clippers game as bad the whole game as it was in the last 5 minutes?

11/13/2019 10:15:21 PM

It was pretty bad both ways.

They gave out 4 T's (Westbrook, tucker, doc x2). Austin was effing on one of the doc t's

Austin 20 min ago

Hawks fan here. One of dozens. Was super duper salty mcsalterson about drafting Trae and trading the rights to Luka. But now, only moderately salty. Trae Young is a baller. Hawks need ballers.

Luka may be an MVP candidate. But at least Trae is a probable all star. And better than Marvin Bagley's sorry ass. CAWCAWCAWCAW

11/14/2019 2:11:43 PM

who is the running for ROY?

11/14/2019 5:05:59 PM

Probably the rookies
