You guys! 24 teams begin their season tonight on ESPN and League Pass

- East contenders square off at MSG as Brunson and the Knicks host Mitchell and the Cavs
- Top 2 picks Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper debut as AD and Mavs host Wemby and the Spurs
- Joel Embiid returns as Sixers visit... Luka Garza and the Celtics ( :( )
- Plus a bunch of other stuff -- go your team!

(Sorry if your team is not in the poll. It's limited to 10 options. I'll do my best to get everyone in there as the season goes on. Last night was all West teams so today I went with mostly East teams.)

Random thought, but after seeing people loving NBC NBA last night, you know there will be people who will feel nostalgic towards Skip, S.A.S. era insulting sports coverage 20 years after they are gone from tv. Some generation grew up on that garbage...

Nah Magic's first test is against the Hawks (who will probably be a top 4 seed)

There's probably some people nostalgic for getting beat by their parents, doesn't mean it was a good thing it happened. :noway:

Are we going to get who he play for?

Is Garret Temple on a roster?

Bismack Biyombo should be on it…

We are too... but we know he is a rookie so we are excited to see him polish up his "high-five, towel-waving and shoulder bumps" skills first

Why they making me wait two days to watch my Nuggets? I gotta get the bad taste of the Miami Dolphins out of my mouth already. :lol:
