Cute.

Never was a Warrior fan genius.

But I do like to predict which teams are real contenders. The last 4 years all roads went through GS. And nobody wants to waste time talking about the Wizards, so...

And for the record, while subject to change once we have a larger body of work, I think the Clippers and Sixers look like the 2 best teams to me. Don’t think the Lakers are coming out of the West.

bet I have more enemies here than YOU do, coach...

Bam and Justice put up really good numbers as starters

With those names...those 2 need to be in a comic book.

How dare Jimmy miss 5 days of work to spend time with his newborn

Didn't put his team first.

He clearly hasn't bought into the Heat culture.

Don't know if this belongs here or in the politics forum, but it's mildly amusing:

Brad Stevens dresses up as presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for Halloween and vice-versa.

Pretty strong resemblance.

Buttigieg?

LGBTQ forum seems more appropriate.

It is so early and I haven't really had a chance to watch most teams. I would say the Clippers and Sixers look like the top dogs at this moment but, honestly, because of HOW they are playing right now. The Clippers are playing really well and in a month or 2 they get an 1st All-NBA player back. It will probably take some adjustment time but by the All-Star break they could look really scary. Or they could be dealing with endless injuries.

The Sixers are 4-0 with the largest net rating in basketball despite being one of the worst shooting teams in the league so far. They are unlikely to remain a bottom tier team in shooting, even if they will never be an elite shooting team. When they get their rotations going and guys like Richardson and Harris start hitting on their career numbers, the Sixers could get real scary. Or they could be dealing with endless injuries.

From what I've read and the little I've see the Lakers are playing better than I expected at this point. They could be a real force if Lebron is able to manage his workload and the other guys continue to contribute.

The Jazz have been winning despite some inconsistent play. They could get really dangerous as well. I'm not sure if Gobert will ever be a great playoff player though.

The Celtics have been impressive especially given how poorly they have been shooting so far.

The Heat have been looking really good and look like they could be spoilers. Hard to see them be finalists but not impossible.

The West is just weird right now. The Rockets are all messed right now. The Blazers and Nuggets aren't clicking but should.

I'm going to Japan for a couple of weeks so I'll be out of the basketball loop for a while. Excited for the trip but bummed to miss out on some of these early matchups.

Wiggy criticizing Jimmy for missing 3 games and 5 days of basketball to be with a newborn is hilarious. Get your priorities straight

Fuck Wiggy and his pathetic fucking life. It's fucking amateur hour.

BTW, what do you think of your Wiz so far?

What are the odds our first gay presidential candidate would have the word "Butt" in his last name?

Lakers Ice cold

This Knicks/Celtics game was fun.

Morris hit a big 3 to tie it then Tatum answered with a 3 of his own to win it

Good. Morris is an idiot.

Dallas all over Lakers early in the 1st.

Tates got a lil knack for the big shot.

Harden with 56 missed 3's in the Rockets first 5 games.

Not a winning formula.

Unless you're Steph Curry, no need for any player to attempt 13+ 3's nightly and that's even a lot for Steph

Houston really sh!t the bed tonight... one bricked 3 after another, questionable effort on defense too.
