I am watching the Twolves, Philly, OKC , and the Lakers. I probably will watch the Nets, Celtics and Mavs some.

I think the Hawks will be interesting this year. Nice grab of Dedmon and there are some interesting pieces there that are going under the radar IMHO. Given how badly they were gutted the past few years, I think they did a nice job of putting together some sleeper talent.

Detroit will be interesting because of Boban Marjanovic. I'm not sure what happens with him and Drummond, but it will be interesting

Think lots of people are sleeping on Brooklyn. The Nets have put together a pretty nifty unit there, some nice range of youth, veterans, depth and upside. I think they surprise some people this year

Feel sorry for many Western teams this year. Clearly the league favors and wants Russell Westbrook to be more of a focal point for their brand and marketing. Also they want to highlight Paul George before he goes to LA and the Westbrook/Durant fabricated feud will drive some ratings. Any other Western team who would EARN a shot against the Warriors won't make it. The refs will job them to make sure the Russ vs Kevin story gets a narrative.

Philly is going to get jobbed. Hard. There is too much buzz about Sam Hinkie being right and vindicated. And it only highlights the flaws in the league draft structure. The NBA doesn't want to look bad perception wise, so the refs are gonna job the 76ers hard.

Watching Milwaukee versus Dallas now. The Bucks have so many springy 6'4 to 6'10" guys who can dribble the ball upcourt and make plays. Im definitely going to follow them. Dallas looks like they might be entertaining as well. Minnesota is up there and i have to follow the bulls so i can chart where our second-round pick lands lol ill also check in on the Jazz out of curiosity. The Jazz had some big losses, but they also have some youngins who could step up.

Wizards only.

OKC, Houston, Philly, Lakers, Minnesota, Dallas, Cavs. Boston and Nuggets. A lot of new dynamics. Of course interested to see how Melo does in OKC. Wondering how the Rockets play with Harden giving up the facilitator position. Minny is a new team. Dallas to see DS Jr. Want to see Lonzo fail. lol Think Philly will surprise...finally. Curious to see how Wade and Rose add/detract to the Cavs team. Celts are going to be tough. Watched KI and he looked so good. Easily one of the top 5 players in the NBA. Think they will knock out the Cavs. And still like wathcing our old Knicks..The Rooster and Wilson on the Nuggets. They have a deep team this year.

There are some good story lines in NBA this year. Last year it was a foregone conclussion that GS was going to win it. And that the Cavs would come out of the East. This year it looks like there may be a couple of teams capable of beating Golden State. (But not counting on it) The EAST is wide open for playoff spots 3 to 8. And, as mentioned, Boston has a real good chance of beating the Cavs in conference finals.

But think we should be like some on here and just watch the Nets!!
