Yeah, he's going to be 33 soon... He's not suppose to move the same as he did when he was 26, 27, with basically zero deep Playoff runs under his belt.

Kd might deadass be better now LMFAOOOO

In 2019 he just figured out something ball Iq, where hes far better with his decision making, when to take over, how to play in the flow. And its stuck so far

Brooklyn is clearly much better than I thought they would be.

Honestly Kds health was the main issue. Ppl kept expecting Brooklyn to have dysfunctional issues and implode but they were just buying into media narratives instead of really looking at this team

Yeah, I get being worried about whether KD would still be a top 5 player and whatnot, but all the talk of dysfunction was some First Take/Colin Cowherd level analysis.

Kinda but Harris and Spencer start now so Im not including them as part of the bench. With them its def 40+ wins tho

They're only two games into the season and haven't faced any adversity together yet. This is really premature.

Luka showing up to the season this out-of-shape is disappointing to say the least.

Honestly Giannis might really 3peat Mvp

Bron is gonna take it easier. Hes gonna take votes from Ad. Steph isnt in the running as a play in team. Tatum isnt on that level yet. Jokic doesnt take the Rs that serious and Murray will prolly be a star player this year. Mavs will struggle some with Kp out and Luka looks fat

Bets have been coming on Kd but I dont see it. Nets are really deep. I dont think he'll play big minutes and Kyries numbers might be comparable. Better chance Nash wins Coy IMO. Kawhi isnt winning it. Harden will have too much controversy. Dame wont be a top 4 seed and he already had a monster season last year.

I think its still too early for Trae but who knows.

He's not winning MVP.

Not after dominating the RS for 3 years with nothing to show but early exits. It's going to somebody new this year.

I dont think anyone went thaaaat far but it was obvious if Kd was healthy and back to form they were a top 2 seed with Milwaukee
