hope this is AD's coming out party

Wolves Jazz and Wizards will be disappointments IMO

my 2nd fav team to start the year year is the Nuggets---Jokicsanity, 3rd the Hawks---interested to see what Dwight brings, 4th the Celtics---Stevens needs to take them to the next level already, 5th is the Heat---let Dragic cook baby

No Deer? I guess I can forgive you.

2nd game of a back to back, home/road. Not that shocking.

We call that "the gocubs". Don't worry though. When the Magic get good you can come back and pretend you never left.

I just think the Celtics are going to be much better than the Bulls, threw a few bucks on the Celtics tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

You're not.

[dmbmuskie]

Why are we concerned about Joel's foot but not KD?

I'd go all in on the Blazers.

If I were Thibs, I would be quietly shopping Wiggins. If you could get a long term partner for Towns and some floor spacing at the wing, you're a much better team, IMO.

I thought the Celtics were supposed to be good this season?

[Tiduwho]

I think we all figured that Wade, Rondo, and MCW would be one of the best 3 point shooting backcourts in the league, like tonight is showing.

They are leading the league in wins.

Only team currently in a spot to make the playoffs that has a negative point differential...looks like they are set up to get swept by Bron Bron's Cavs in the first round.

Damn and here I was thinking they had a chance against Cleveland and were gonna give the warriors a run for their money. Thanks for bringing me back down to earth. Better to find this out 48 hours into the season than game 7 of the ECF.

You're welcome... I just saved you like 6 months of life.

Not really.......Just think it's hilarious how there's always so much Deer talk in here when they're a simply average team.

[dmbmuskie]

Bucks are average?

[rickyh24]

Yeah. That wasn't criticism at all. Sick burn tho.

Sorry, we can get back to talking about the Kings and how they're the worst run franchise in the league. Rudy Gay's words, not mine.

Yeah, they're not going to play well without Middleton and so many new pieces.

I know it's all gonna come crumbling down, but Rose has looked so damn explosive. What a tease.

That move he put on Conley last night was vintage Rose.

[Rodey]

Greek Freak so good.

NBA basketball isn't #1 in the Boston / New England sports market #shocking

At least you realize it......I'd love for him to be great again tho

[bartender_man]

So right after Russ had a tripple double to go with a 50 point game, he puts this up tonight:

33 points, 12 rebounds, 16 assists.

Dude is sick. MVP candidate without question.

I'd imagine that one play is what being a Kings fan feels like nightly.

[Lee3691]

Feels like we've had more Kings / Knicks barking already than we had last year.

Good job everyone.

[CrashDMB237]

To be fair, it's been more Kings and Bucks than Knicks. And who can really resist taking jabs at a guy who supports the Kings, the biggest dumpster fire in pro sports?
