I don't believe this thread has been started yet, so here you go.

Good start to the season, key guys appear to be relatively healthy. As a basketball fan, good to see the Thunder back at full strength, as a Grizzlies fan notsomuch.

The West is just so deep, hard to figure out who comes out on that side. If the Cavs stay healthy, hard to imagine they don't represent the East.

If we have a group interested in a fantasy basketball league, I'd be happy to set it up.

Grizz looking a lot like a team that knows it's window closed last year. Word that some guys came into camp out of shape (Gasol among others), getting older, etc. Two ugly, ugly losses to the Cavs and W's so far this year.

KC_Connection · 11-06-2015, 12:21 AM

Gasol better get healthy or it's going to be a long year for Memphis. That was ugly tonight.

LeBron is taking it a little easy. He will be ready to go into beast mode for the playoffs though. Can't wait to get Kyrie and Shump back though!

RustShack · 11-06-2015, 04:22 PM

I'm also interested in the Bulls, just not when they are playing Cleveland. In hindsight I wish he would have accepted the Cavs job when it was offered to him... And he would have had he known they were landing James and Love(as anybody would have).

The Dubs cruising so far...

Warriors have 74 at the half against the Nuggets...

Big ****ing KAT is really really ****ing good.

He's going to be a jaw-droppingly incredible NBA player.

Pacers with PG, GHill, and Monta Ellis should make the playoffs in the east. Although, I fully admit I'm a Pacer fan.

The Thunders rotations have been worse this year than previous years. The first few games there was ball movement at the end. The last 4 back to the bad habits of 2 guys jacking up shots. The biggest issue I see is Andre Roberson isn't a NBA player. You don't have to guard him, and he's not a very good defender either. I know Presti has this vision of him being a younger Thabo, but it's not there. Waiters and Morrow should be playing all the minutes there until you can swing a trade. Morrow should be starting because he'll get open looks with KD and Westbrook on the floor. You can't move the ball when there is one guy that can't shoot. Defense can be fixed when they figure out a scheme.

Westbrook and Durant need to focus more on the defensive end and learn to trust team mates in these regular season games. If they don't they'll be 2 spectacular players that won't win a title in OKC or anywhere else.

The only hope is that Donovan can change the shit Brooks couldn't. It's pretty evident Presti has a cookie cutter formula that isn't matched up very well with today's NBA.

FIX IT BITCHES!

Ugh Waiters is a human wasteland. Theres really no need for a player like him on a team with both Westbrook & Durant. His eyes light up whenever there is an expiring shot clock so he can go launch a horrible brick.

I feel a bit different about it, but not strong enough to debate....

WEST

1. Warriors
2. Spurs
3. Rockets
4. Clippers
5. Thunder
6. Grizz
7. Jazz
8. Pelicans

EAST

1. Cavs
2. Hawks
3. Bulls
4. Wizards

Too hard after that and it's not gonna matter.

WCF - Warriors over Spurs
ECF - Cavs over Hawks

NBA Finals Warriors over Cavs ( Again)
