With Bledsoe, Bucks become a serious contender.
The return of Jabari Parker to the Bucks will surely push them far into the playoffs.

I think 4th is the best case scenario for the Bucks.  Celts, Cavs, and Wiz would have a higher standing at the end of the regular season.  Sana tuloy tuloy ang lucky charm ni Bledsoe for the Bucks.  2-0!

I'm amazed at the quality of rooks this batch (in contrast to last year's).  Smith Jr and Fox are fun to watch.

Ahem, Markkanen. :) Maisingit lang haha, Bulls fan eh.

I have to agree with your point re: the rookies though, sir.  Parang ang ganda nga ng batch na ito, lalo na compared to the previous years. Balita eh next year's batch is even better, so I hope the Bulls' tankfest works out pretty well for us.

Trying to list down this year's impact rookies so far:

ATL - John Collins
BOS - Jayson Tatum
CHA - Malik Monk / Dwayne Bacon
CHI - Lauri Markkanen
DAL - Dennis Smith, Jr.
LAL - Lonzo Ball / Kyle Kuzma
MEM - Dillon Brooks
PHI - Ben Simmons
PHX - Josh Jackson / Mike James
SAC - De'Aaron Fox / Bogdan Bogdanovic
SAS - Brandon Paul
UTA - Donovan Mitchell

If they weren't injured, Fultz and Teodosic would've easily been impact rookies as well. Puwede na ngang all-rookie rosters for the Rising Stars game in LA next Feb.
We deserve better.

Hahaha, oo sana no sir. Kaso, malamang Cavs-Celtics iyan. Not a LBJ fan nor hater but it's hard to bet against the guy. I'm sure he'll find ways to lead that team to at least an East Conf. Finals game again. Tapos hindi naman ganoon kasama ang roster ng Cavs, granted they're a bit old but still they're not that shabby.

A bit off topic, pero do you guys think he'll move out of Cleveland again after this season? And if so, do you think it's a good idea?

^ i think LBJ will use that excuse, not reaching conference finals, to get out of Cleveland. Also, he wouldn't want to face the mighty Warriors again in the Finals especially now that he doesn't have Irving and that his team is less equipped now than last season. Wala naman na syang makukuhang superstar to be able to help him beat the Warriors. Nightmare sa kanya ang warriors halos na sweep sya.

What?  ???

Kahit sinong player naman siguro kahit hindi si LBJ, they would want to face GSW kung yun ang hadlang para sila mag champion. That's the main goal, to face the defending champs and beat them. Bakit naman i-iwas ang kahit sinong player sa ganun?

I agree with this sir, I think there's too much pride amongst NBA players that if they want to win, they want to do it properly, or as they say, in dramatic fashion. :) Kaya nga siguro hanga ako sa mga katulad ni Wall, kasi parang siya iyung tipo na gusto i-lead ang team to a ring rather than team up with another superstar.

Although, to sir thebat's point, there are players who, in my opinion, want to win the championship "easily". That's the reason why we see superstar team-ups in the NBA today. It's not like, let's say, the 80s or the 90s where teams are built from the ground up and players want to beat other players so bad that the idea of teaming up with another superstar is preposterous. Unless, of course, they feel they're old and a bit washed up, and want to do nothing but ring chase. :)

On topic, ang galing ni Tatum, may potential. Kyrie-less din pala BOS ngayon, kaya siguro naging malapit ang laban.

I agree boss. Magaling itong si Brad Stevens. Kahit si Pop nga, if I'm not mistaken, sinabi dati na ginagamit niya ilang sets ni Stevens. :) As far as praises are concerned, you can't get any better than that.

Hands Down for Coach of the Year.
His players are responding to his system.
The players know their roles.
I wish Hayward can come back strong next season.
After failing to win the national championship at Butler,
I hope both Hayward and Stevens can win championships together with the Celtics.

Houston Rockets are very impressive.
Harden should be MVP this season.
Capela playing like a young Amare Stoudamire.
Eric Gordon's very consistent long range bombings can challenge those of GSW's Curry and Thompson.
Rockets bench also playin very well.

Agree. Losing is part of learning. Remember MJ when he annually faced the punishment of Detroit for several years in the playoffs? He figured it out sooner or later.

Mahihirapan na si Lebron talunin ang GSW not without anothet super superstar alongside him.

Mapapansin nyo wala syang gana maglaro, he is no longer having fun unlike before coasting having fun sya sa regular season. Ngayon kayod kabayo para lang manalo per game.

Agree. Losing is part of learning. Remember MJ when he annually faced the punishment of Detroit for several years in the playoffs? He figured it out sooner or later.
