Knicks look impressive. D-rose looking gooood, just has to stay healthy. Same with Noah. Their backup behind rose is brandon jennings, which is problematic..
Cavs, mehhh once you get past LeBron and maybe kyrie once he gets healthy.. At least their roster is intact! kevin love, yawn he doesn't really fit unless if you are only using him for rebounding and decoy..

Did the Warriors completely ignore their biggest weaknesses from the playoffs? They got killed on the boards in the last year. Did they manage to get even worse on the inside? They're still the biggest contenders this year, but looking at their roster, bigger teams are gonna have a field day. That's gonna put so much pressure on Curry and Durant if they don't improve in those areas.
What do you guys think?

That's gonna put so much pressure on Curry and Durant if they don't improve in those areas. What do you guys think? True, they have downgraded with Zaza as opposed to bogut, but they had no choice considering the money. They could give Varejao some more mins because he is a better rebounder. Problem is Varejao has fouling issues as he is way too aggressive. They will need to play Green and Durant closer to the basket on defensive end to pick up more defensive rebounds. They did that yesterday, but it still wasn't enough. They also cannot do that for offensive rebounds because you don't want Durant too close to the basket when his greatest strength is spreading the floor. They will never get many offensive rebounds. They will just have to hope their offense can overcome their shortcomings on the rebounding side This is why Spurs are the deadliest team Warriors can face. Cavs could be as well if they get more consistent contributions from Love. Clippers could be on paper, but I don't trust them especially Griffin. Keep an eye on the Thunder/Grizzlies/t-wolves with their big boys. From these teams, only Spurs and Cavs are good enough offensively to keep up with Warriors. Thunder will be Chuckbrook time.

That literally makes as much a difference as Chrome playing a mafia game, it doesn't. Glad he finally retired though, never thought he was coming back at any point after he didn't play in 2015

James Harden has played way above expectations. 32/12/7 is amazing, glad to see him and D'Antoni gel so well together.

Truly special. He still has about 7 more years left total, about 2 more of prime years. What other records will he break?

I just never thought blake/the overall team would try this hard for regular season wins It's okay, I just thought Blake would come back with a vengeance because last year he was kicking ass and then got hurt. Warriors getting Durant probably hit them in their pride and they know it's probably one of, if not the, last year of everyone together and still in their primes. I got all that right. Should have went to Vegas dammit!

Very clean smooth jumper! I haven't seen him play so how is his defense and all around game beyond the shooting?

Wow, they are taking offense to being called LeBron's posse. It is the truth - they are LeBron's posse. They carry the king on his throne, hold his things, fan him, and fulfill his every desire from city to city. Little crybaby got upset because Phil mentioned LeBron likes special treatment. Even the dummy Melo opening his mouth saying he doesn't know if it was racist. Uhh, by bringing up "I don't know if x was derogatory", you are drawing light to x being derogatory. Everyone knows how much of a diva LeBron is behind the scenes from the things Dan Gilbert publicly illuminated years ago when LeBron left. Borrowing the team plane to transport his buddies here and there with the king's orders through his agent and scheduling things as the king desires. King LeBron too big that he orders people around from behind the curtains, including the team. How the hell does that make it racist to call them his posse?

The Blazers seem to have a bigman logjam. Vonleh, who looked impressive in the preseason, hasnt gotten many minutes since the regular season started. Stotts is going with a short rotation and Ezeli hasn't even returned.

Stotts is going with a short rotation and Ezeli hasn't even returned. they don't look as good as I remember them being last year is there a reason for that? Last season, they were a fringe playoff team until after the all star break. It's kinda early still and I don't think we should peg teams just yet as some are still trying to find their groove. Their record right now isn't bad, but lot of their games against presumably worse teams seem too close for comfort. They've played the Clippers twice and GS once. Hard for me to watch their games because of worst coast time zone. I've noticed they've moved Aminu to almost full time 4 instead of splitting him between the 3 and the 4. He's not playing as well as he was last season. Turner has struggled offensively as he's not having the ball as much as he did with the Celtics, I've been hearing good things about his defense and intangibles. They lost Henderson who wasn't surperb for them, but was a solid scorer off the bench when need be. Turner needs to take over that role. The Blazers haven't been playing good defense so they have that going against them. They weren't a good defensive team last season, but they weren't bottom of the barrel bad.
