I would erase the Bucks, they are only good in the regular season.

They need to prove me wrong first.

I don't know what Bucks will do in play-offs but for Yesterday's games Bucks was a clear favorite against Golden State. This 39 point difference win is no surprise. Bookmakers gave only 1.10 odds for Bucks.
Klay is not going back soon, so Warriors can't even make play-offs this year.

All I hope for the Bucks is to improve and be more competitive in the playoffs.

Last season they are the best team in the regular season but I think this season is different, and they might not even finish the top 1 in the East as we have the Nets who are also doing pretty well with the leadership of Durant and Irving. honestly, I like this way so people's attention are not only on the Bucks, and less pressure on their part, especially on Giannis.

It was a scary moment when we see Kawhi laying down with blood all over the place like that. Luckily he's fine now. After Ibaka's unintentional elbow, his mouth had 8 stitches. I'm wishing him a speedy recovery, we'll probably see him 2 matches later, if not next match.

Kawhi is a tough guy, he will be back soon and I'm liking the start of the Clippers here as they still remain undefeated, and they avenge their lose against the Denver Nuggets and that is on the home of the Nuggets, it would be more fan if there were fans watching. Grin

Clippers, Lakers, Heat, Bucks and Nets grabbed the win as expected. It was kinda odd that all favorites won their games though.

I was also about to share about Lamelo Ball's performance, but I realized maybe we are just over expecting something from him, he is no different from his brother Lonzo, I hope he will improve though so his daddy will be proud, lol

Do you really think you could keep players from partying?
Yeah, they're humans too.  Grin It cannot be stopped but can be done in a disciplined way since we are all doing it in our own homes.
I'm surprised that nobody here in the thread is talking about Lamelo Ball's scoreless NBA debut, I mean it was the first time since Otto Porter who was a top 3 pick who went scoreless on their nba debut.
I saw that too. Bad stats for 16 minutes if you want to impress the scouts and Charlotte management.
But let's not end it because of a debut, it's what next that will count.

Ja Morant though is really improving rapidly and consistently.
Ja Morant breaking Shaq's record
This kid really has a future in this game. I hope no injuries will happen, fingers crossed.

pls explain what makes Brooklyn Nets fav.
as i see Durant playing 2-nd match with them and is considered as key player
what other changes both teams have if to compare with prev, season?

First of all, Nets is the better team here, at least that's the expectation of the many. Yes, Nets played their 2nd game but they got some rest, so it's not really a big deal though. Both of these team won their last game, and Boston is playing without one of theirs star player which is Kemba Walker.
Boston on the other still have an incomplete lineup which is sad since season openings are really important to at least get the team having great chemistry.
Yup! Brooklyn Nets' future is in their hands. With Irving and Durant's presence, the team had a huge change. It can now be considered as one of the strongest contender from the East. That We might see a new team in the Finals Cheesy.

Regarding Boston's loss, hmm I don't really bother since it eas only a preseason game. And even if Walker wasn't able to make it through the season opening, I'm still not worrying because they belong to the top tier teams. I believe that they could catch up in no time assuming their key players will not be injured until the very end. Besides, Tatum, Hayward and Brown can carry their team alone.

Durant is undeniably still a great player and we can still see that Brooklyn's playbook depends on the ability of their two Superstars to score. Most of their plays revolve around Kyrie and Durant; that is why we are seeing these great stats coming from them. Boston on the other still have an incomplete lineup which is sad since season openings are really important to at least get the team having great chemistry.

Brooklyn Nets started season very good. It looks like Kyrie and Durant co will do something big this year.
Durant looks so hungry. He wants to make up last year's loss. Nets rotation looks OK for now but they should add 1 or 2 bigger role players to win the championship.

They've got to balance well and rotate every players to contribute.

Nets with KD and Kyrie is really a competitive team now, they are good on trusting each other, the problem is when this two stars are resting there's no one leading, they need another  role player or Coach Nash needs to figure it out but so far they are impressive with KD's and Kyrie healthy playing with the team.

First 5 looks solid and legit contenders, so yes they are very competitive with a healthy Durant and Irving. But after that no one from the bench can come out to be the 6th man so that they need to work out so that they won't run out of steam.

So far they are doing good though, but as we go deep in the playoffs, teams might figure them out early and will cover any or both of their stars so that it will make it difficult for them to score and win the game. Plus again, the health factor of the two. So let's see if coach Nash can do something about it.

That was a good game with Kyrie and Durant as the duo that stood out for their first game together with the same result tonight.
I had them to score over 129.5pts for the entire game but Boston just sucked that bad and nothing like their previous match where Tatum scored the game winner at the buzzer.
Now to see how Lebron does tonight against the Mavericks and the don. Cheesy

Brooklyn Nets are looking to win against Boston Celtics after leading in first 3 quarters, Kevin Durant is playing great and it was expected for Nets to win here.

Nets have a double digit lead now, but there's plenty of time, it's too early to celebrate. If you are a bettor who bet on the moneyline, maybe you are happy now but let's do it once the game is over, you know, Boston Celtics is a team that does not easily give up.

LA Lakers - Dallas Mavericks are next and it is time for Lakers to win after losing against Clippers last time.
I'm also expecting they'll win, hopefully they'll cover the spread as well.

On Mavs vs Lakers I have a feeling that somehow Mavs can pulls out a victory in the 4th quarter...but we'll see.
I'm not expecting of a win from Mavs. Look! Lakers loss in their first game at home, now still playing at home, so I guess they'll bounce back from a loss and will beat the Mavericks, they are the defending champion, they don't allow to lose twice in their home court, even there's no crowd inside the arena.
