I’m glad for the tough start will show us where we are at with most of our team fully healthy to start the season. Hopefully we get 10-15 games to start injury free.

The good teams take a few weeks to gel .... but so do we with BI
I rather jump on them early tho then later on

The raps need to be healthy and hopefully the off-season and Training Camp allow us to gel quicker than others

These guys haven't played together so I expect the first quarter of the season to be rough.

They’ve been practicing for months now in Toronto and Vegas. They’ll have Camp and pre season. They should have some chemistry but yes it will be tough but I think they’ll be able to pull out a .500+ record by Jan 1st and if that’s the case I expect them to finish strong with 45-48 wins.

My guess is by then, they will say it's not included in Prime, premium content or something.

I hope we wave bye to Trae after opening a can of whoop ass. He's so cringe and unlikable.

The fact that so many hate him is a reason I like him. He hasn't done anything to upset ATL, he's hated by critics out of his control, which is his size. Other than that he's been a star, if ppl don't want Trae to be a star then like who should, only a handful of stars on in the league regardless.

I could see an 0-10 start and that would get this site all worked up.

Monday night hockey is included right now, so hopefully NBA will be the same. For me it may not make a big difference though if Prime Video will also have black outs like NBA league pass.

Those first 6 games are tough, even starting out 2-4 could be difficult

Oct 22 @ Atlanta
Oct 24 vs Milwaukee
Oct 26 @ Dallas
Oct 27 @ San Antonio
Oct 29 vs Houston
Oct 31 @ Cleveland

But then again I'd rather get teams like Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Dallas early on, before they've had a chance to settle in.

Tough start…but overall not as topsy turvy as last year. We should be healthy to start at least.

Here’s hoping but what was the indication we’d be injured to start last August? I recall injures just popping up once the players reported and then Quickly going down game 1. Anyway, lots of rim protection in first handful of games. Going to really need BI to perform early.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah mid Nov there will he LOTS of posts on how we are in a position to tank for a real #1 Star in a stacked draft.

Then we will hear all year when we win games how they wasted the opportunity.
