The NBA season is just a week or so away from kicking off. Its been a wild off season with crazy trades and team swaps, who did their best? Everyone trying to match GSW, who has got all the right pieces?

Houston picked up Chris Paul, Cavs made some crazy moves, cant even name them all. OKC made big moves picking up P. George and Carmelo Anthony, but will Russ still be a ball hog? Spurs will always be strong and i still think it will come down to them and GSW in the west finals. This is gonna be one of the best seasons in awhile, just have to be patient through the meaningless reg season and get to the playoffs!!

btw: GSW just put up 145 over the T.Wolves in a pre season game in China...145!!

btw: i wondered why they made such a big deal about who has the highest jersey sales, so i went to the NBA store to see what all the fuss was about, HOLY HELL! They charge $200 for a jersey!! I was blown away, who in their right mind would pay that? Must be a huge China knock off market LOL

The Durant thing is old news. But I am looking forward to LeBron and Lonzo in LA. LeBron gets his Draymond Green. Luke Walton as coach? Yeah it'll be good.

Season starts tonight with a kickass double header, Boston vs Cavs (Kyrie's homecoming, that will be interesting) and Warriors vs Rockets. Houston thinks they can outshoot GSW, that will be an entertaining game.

Yes those two games will be interesting. Great start to the season. And I'm not even a big NBA fan.

Ill admit, im a full on GSW fanboy, but im almost looking more fwd to the Cavs / Boston game, the drama of Kyrie vs LBJ is gonna be epic. That whole deal that went down was so strange.

Both games will be good. The rockets if healthy are a darkhorse in the west.

What do you think about OKC? They brought in some power, Paul George and Melo.

If Houston had one more shooter they would be deadly.

I dunno. I think Rockets are going to struggle all year. They literally only have CP and Harden on the team now. Was a shame they lost Beverly because he was a pretty good defender.

GSW likely out of the west. OKC could surprise but they don't have the depth that GSW has. In the East it's Cleveland and Boston. Don't see any team that's really going to challenge either of them this year.

If healthy, okc could win 50-55 games,. Westbrook is a beast, add 2 all stars,. Very good team, imo gsw can be beat, but not in a. Series, great team and deep bench. Usually a injury on a team will change things. Should be a great year. Got my seats already lined up for games.

How about Giannis Antetokounmpo (yes i copy / pasted that) KD said he has the potential to be one of the best to ever play the game, he is still so young and a baller, but on the Bucks lol Dig watching him play.

That ended up being a good game. From 18 down to the lead, then lost it. So many missed 3's by Boston.
