NBA layperson here with hopefully some dumbass takes:

-
GSW: I can't stand Draymond's braying arse, but I'm hugely respectful of Curry, Kerr & the Thompson Twin, and would be pretty thrilled if they managed to knock off one of the LA teams, push-push, shove-shove.
-
PHI: I grew up there, and don't need to be 100,000 miles of that place (Apollo orbit?) to feel the hate raining down from FlyerTown. So I'm sorta ongoing, rubbernecking-fascinated by the extreme awkwardness of the Simmons situation. Morey, you're either a genius or ****
-
MIN: Love to KAT & his family for the godamn horrible ordeal they had to go through the past two years. Also, love to our boy D-Lo, who I'm still a touch bitter about having to exchange for Kyrie (yeah, yeah).
-
MIL: I'm glad you finally got your chip, Giannis, but as much as I <3 you as a person, you're a reckless a-hole on the court. One that puts other players' careers in jeopardy. So the hail with you, and may your team go down in flames. |[

LAL: If LeBron manages to win another chip, I think he's probably my indisputable GOAT, nuzzling right past Jordan and Wilt. Because I'm not sure there's ever been a man who elevated his teammates to his magical degree, and was also such a magical player on the court / field. People love to bring up the finals his teams lost while completely missing the point that ballin' is a team-game, and that more than one of LeBron's finals teams had
little business appearing on that stage. Even just that aspect, I'm not sure another player in any sport has ever equaled.

PHX, DAL: Really curious to see how far they'll go this season. Also seems like there's a chance DAL melts down and Luka demands a trade before season end. Maybe it would be for the best...? But you never know, because Kidd has a way of way of turning situations upside down (for good or for...), and surely they can get more (much more?) out out of Porgy & Bess?
