When will the poll be open again? The regular season will start tomorrow and very excited to that.
The warriors are still the favorites to win in the NBA Finals, the odds is 1.50 and it's like a free money for those who believe
they can still dominate other teams.

What team do you think will surprise us and win the NBA Finals?

The Boston Celtics could easily match their team, we saw what they can do against the Cavaliers even though their full lineup is incomplete. But now with Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving fully healed we might see them dominate not only the East but also the whole league. The only problem I am seeing now is their management might be tempted to trade in some of their key pieces as a "thought" of increasing their chances of winning the championships, this might change their chemistry overall which will be a bad thing during the season.

No doubt when it comes to their performance yet Irving and Hayward is already up.Im even surprised on how they do able to reach up semis on East without Irving. Adding up or do make such changes will really
affect some chemistry but theres still a plenty of time to make adjustments.

Alriiiiight we are going to the season guys! This offseason was a hectic one for Lakers but in general if we look at it I do not remember much that changed the league that insanely. Rockets lost two good defensive guys but they gained Melo in return which is a great addition to any team, he might not be what he used to be but he is still a scoring threat insanely and they also signed Capela for a longer contract.

Warriors got cousins but both his injury and his questionable return form it is not as major as when they signed Durant. Lakers is well known with Lebron and the bunch getting there. Spurs trading Danny green for Derozan was a great deal for them. Except these moves I do not remember that much of a deal that would change the teams, it will be lovely to watch this year again, last year rockets almost knocked warriors out if they didn't miss 27 threes in a row!

So, this year will be much much better to watch and hope that someone will finally eliminate warriors so we can see a different finals, we know Cavs won't be in the finals anymore that is a relief, a fifth Cavs-GSW game would have been insane, I wanted both teams to change, I really root for Rockets vs Celtics this year, that would be a finals to watch.

I wondered how Julius randle and AD would have paired because that would have mean AD would play center for sure this season and I had always supported him playing at center position compared to power forward and I think its going to be alright.

With cousins last year AD was stuck at PF for a while but as soon as cousins got injured AD got to be center again and he beasted there. Todays' centers are not slow and heavy, they are quick and they needed a defensive power there. AD can hit shots, he can dunk, he can block, he can guard, he is the best center they can find. This season will be really good for pelicans.

I guess it will depend on their plays.
Positions wont matter if they can effectively score and defend.
Houston does that kind of trick and nobody sees it much for they are using fast phase game method.
With that kind of gameplay the defending team tend to do the same and plays for the center or forward will be broken.

I still prefer AD at PF for he move more and score perimeters.

Yeah AD is most preferred as PF for he's adept in that position. But if you are just stucked in that are you will be outsmarted by your opponents scouts. So he better expend his games like to play for other position like play center or SF. I that way he can have a variety of plays in his sleeve.

And they are called stars for that.
Jeremy Lin once bloomed also but when scouted all his moves becomes predictable.
This is how good NBA scouting is.
I guess AD already knew that since he had been creating new kind of plays.
3 points, perimeter and inside plays. What else could you ask more for that man. He aint like Dwight or Shaq. He is more of a Duncan by now, maybe better.

But I prefer him to see at Centre position

Don't forget the physical tall of banging bodies with bigger players at the 5 (giving his injury history: multiple back and shoulder problems over the years).

Also, he doesn't need to play the center position to have an impact on defense and be a great rim protector and total nightmare for opponents.

Despite all that, he will start at the 5 tomorrow night against the Rockets Grin

Good question, I think OP needs to update the poll and include all of those teams though there's too many of it. Agree that GSW is still the crowd favorite and its likely that they can still reach the finals but its going to be tough since Lakers got some bumped with their roster as well.

Its going to be an early finals for Lebron and the gang.

Well actually every team has its edge to get into the finals and I don't count any of them as an underdog.

Star player like AD can immediately adjust from what he needed to play, both position can be taken and he's good at it, maybe if he landed to lakers they can use him as PF/ center who can play alongside with the type of lebron and rondo games, they all wanted to run the ball and always make surprise attack.

But I prefer him to see at Centre position because he has the tools to outsmart the centre of the opposing team. He is quick and agile and has a decent perimeter shot. And yeah, imagine if he landed on Lakers he can easily adjust and run together with Lebron and Rondo and its going to be a unstoppable force in the rim.

There is not a single chance AD can play at the SF position at all however if he plays at center he is mismatching his opponent at every turn. He is too fast and too agile to make centers guard him, he can outrun and outsmart any of them and just use his skills over their opponents at center, at power forward he has to use his size compared to smaller ones and use his pace against the slower ones however at center he usually just use his skills to beat them.

He can also defend anyone at the rim, dude keeps up with GUARDS and blocks them so guarding a center would be an easy thing for AD since he has the size and also talents to guard the rim very well. He is the perfect "modern day center" if you ask me, 10-20 years ago he wouldn't be this valuable at the center position but right now at this day and age he is the perfect center build.

Funny things happen during pre-season.
Would you believe that the Lakers have a good chance of beating the depending champions? they just beat the warriors again today.
Lakers are 2-0 against the warriors during this pre season, looks good.

Lol. Its just pre-season dude. Its doesn't bring any thing when it comes down to the real games specially in the playoffs. It looks good in paper seeing the new Lakers defeating GSW but it doesn't bring any weight, imho.

GSW fans are now guilty because of 2 - 0 against lakers which now lebrons team but there is a big impact in the emotion of all players specially lebron beats gsw! This is not a one man team but i believed that lebron can make lakers into finals for western conference but not 100% sure it will be a new depending champion for NBA season 2018 - 2019.

Have heard one analysis that wherever Lebron is in the East then it will be sure that certain team will go to the Finals.

But we is now in the West. He will go against strong teams which have good gameplays.
Spurs is one then there is Houston and GSW. It will be a hard fought game before he can go to WCF.

But then, what team will gain access to the Finals now at East.

That's gonna be exciting, if they can beat the warriors then I guess they will have an easy journey beating the Eastern Champion.
Still, it's too early to tell, they are just playing in the Pre-Season now so it's hard to make a judgement based on the recent games, anyway, congratulations
to the Lakers Fans.

Let's take a break for serious discussions here at the moment.

It's really funny and I don't know if it's true that the scoreboard during the pre-season game between Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings is being censored on a live TV during the second quarter of the game to save the latter's a** from embarassment. What happened? The score is 45-10 in favor to Utah Jazz and it's just 9 minutes left on the second quarter.

I don't know what happened next.

Final score is 132-93 and Utah Jazz finished the Pre-Season game with a perfect record.

Have seen this one which is like viral?
What do the NBA management want to portray?
It is just an NBA preseason and it doesnt matter.

Now some NBA enthusiast will have questions every time they will do this kind of act.
They will need to be transparent even if the other team is being wrecked. It is not like a porn or something. They just didnt play better than the other bench players of the other team.

Now that the pre-season games are over and there is what...3 days left before the regular season. Here is an interesting article I came upon yesterday.

It is also Bitcoin related, seems like we have someone who is really into crypto - Spencer Dinwiddie.

Has Spencer Dinwiddie Got a Deal for You

I must admit, I was somewhat supersized to hear that a basketball player is so good with this stuff. The last time I read about crypto and basketball was when Sacramento and Dallas decided to accept bitcoin payments ... but that didn't go well.

Anyway, it's a good read, give it a go!
