Pistons starting strong tonight.

Bulls/Cavs in a great game right now. Cavs seem light without Kyrie but Lebron is pretty good.

Wow Pau Gasol blocks Lebron at the rim to potentially seal the win. Cleveland ball...

Nice ring ceremony but I hope it's in Houston next year.

I just don't see the Pelicans roster as that impressive. The Warriors are beasts again.

Rockets need to start the season strong. The west is far to staked for a slow start

We have 16 games in November (5 back-to-back). 4 against the West's Top 6 teams. There are some challenges, but there should be a lot of winnable games in November.

I believe his max is around 92-96 mil. Cleveland passed out a lot of bad contracts this season but that one was by far the worse. He's no defensive monster and terrible on offense.

Thunder looked really good beating the Spurs.


I'm actually intrigued by the Knicks/Hawks game tonight. Knicks smashed the Bucks in Milwaukee and Atlanta lost so this should be a good game in MSG.

Doesn't look bad but I definitely prefer the orange.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

It's softer with the blue but the orange was so unique.

Power rankings.

We apparently have a few weeks before we need to bother looking at these...
