I can feel this is LBJs last hurrah at Cleveland.
Actually i like to see him wear the Laker's uniform and win one championship for a western team as he wind down his career.

I have a feeling that the NBA's opening week will have a lot of locked arms and taking a knee ......... Trump is that divisive.

It would actually be a boon to the NBA, ratings will skyrocket come opening week.

Welcome back (sort of), NBA! The first preseason game is underway with the Warriors hosting the Nuggets. Then the Lakers face Jimmy Butler and the Timberwolves. Both games are aired live on BTV | NBA Premium TV.

iba na pala ang format ng all star ngayon. wala ng east vs west na player. any player can play either conference. lagi daw kasi dominant ang west lalo ngayon.

^ ℅ NBA.com:

"Under the revamped format, two captains will draft the 2018 All-Star teams from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves, making selections without regard for conference affiliation. The captains will be the All-Star starter from each conference who receives the most fan votes in his conference."

"The process for selecting the 24 All-Stars will remain the same, with 12 players from each conference earning spots. The 10 starters – two guards and three frontcourt players per conference – will continue to be chosen by a combination of fans (50 percent of the vote), current players (25 percent) and basketball media (25 percent). The NBA’s head coaches will still select the 14 reserves, voting for two guards, three frontcourt players and two players at any position in their respective conferences. Specific details about the draft will be announced at a later date."

Nice gimmick, pero I guess ultimately nasa mga players na rin 'yan and how intense they want to play during the ASG to make it more interesting to watch. And it still doesn't address the talent disparity between conferences. Kalahati pa rin ng AS pool will come from the East and some deserving players from the West will still be left out.

Malamang si LBJ and Steph Curry ang magiging team captains. Siguro si Westbrook kukunin ni LBJ while Kyrie will end up in Steph's team.

Basketball nowadays has evolve into a run and gun fast breaking long range bombing game.
Gone are the boring defensive and low post games.
Scores are gona be piling up more and games will be more exciting to watch.

Cavs has the deepest bench ever in the NBA history.
Its now or never for them this coming season.
Its gona be easy sailing for them in the east as they wait for the wild wild west out gunning one another to the Finals.

Wala pa si IT dyan. Mga starter last year bangko na ngayun. Yung reliever last year di na nya alam role nya- Shumpert. Thats how deep they are. Hope Cavs stay healthy this season.

Will depth be enough? how about age?

For sure they wont burn themselves out in the regular season and they will simply step over their opponents in the eastern playoffs.
They have too much depth in their bench to rest James Wade etc and if ever IT4 comes back, they're gona kick the Warriors out in the finals.
Perkins, Zizic, Thompson at Center
Frye, Love at Stretch Power Forward
Shumpert, Green, Crowder, James at Forward
Korver, Smith, Wade at Off Guard
IT4, Rose, Calderon at Guard

Crowder can match up with Durant or Draymond Green.

maganda yan. Kahit isang boteng single malt at the end of the 2017-2018 season. Whoever goes farthest between Dubs and Cavs. If both get eliminated in the same playoffs round, whoever has more Playoff wins na lang. If still a tie, whoever has the higher regular season win-loss record na lang.

to be honest, i liked the chances of the cavs last year vs gsw, compared this season. they lost kyrie, which almost always plays great against gsw.
