The preseason has officially started.
Good game between the Boston Celtics and the Charlotte Hornets, the Celtics were dominating the Hornets in the 1st half but the Hornets came strong int he 2nd half and win the game, another unpredictable game where underdog win through rally.
Yeah the score ended 104 - 97 in favor of Charlotte Hornets.

A good start for them, how quick time is. Last time we are talking about the past seasons and now we're on the new one.

Yes, its the start of a new season again. There have been much discussions about players moving around and now pre-season has started. Its gonna be interesting to see those players who have been traded this season and gauge them how well they mature and blend with their current teams. I'm really looking for Lebron wearing the gold/yellow and purple jersey.  Grin
Well this is the start of  the exciting part where we'll see on how would they really react to their new homes.

Mark your calendars on Oct 17 the real games starts.
I am very excited, it's another season and I hope we will be seeing new superstars that will give additional excitement to the game.
There are a lot of changes this season, only the warriors are the team that improves their line up, I like to see other teams compete with them.

Annoying "fans" are talking about the poor performance of LeBron James of Los Angeles Lakers and Gordon Hayward of Boston Celtics.

Those "fans" really need some basketball education lol. Why expecting too much for some of the players in the pre-season? Pre-season games are designed to test the waters especially for the team that composed of new players so that when official season starts, somehow there's already a build up chemistry.

No need to force to win every pre-season games as everyone's target must remained healthy once season starts.

I don't know if it just pre-season and teams are trying out new lineups/rotations but Toronto yesterday started with only one big man, Ibaka at the 5. Vavalanciunas came off the bench. I was wondering whether this will be in fact their starting 5 at the beginning of the new season. They could potentially match up well with Boston as they start with one big man too and a couple versatile wings. Going small has been a trend the last couple of years. Seems like more and more teams prefer to spread the floor with shooters.

The warriors loss today, I think this season is the only chance for their rivals to win because they are not doing it seriously.
The Champs are playing at their home court but they did not put much effort to beat the Wolves in the 2nd half, yet still an entertaining game.

Well, it is just the start of the new Season, and it is really exciting seeing them play again even  if they lost to Wolves. I guess they are still not that heated up for the first game, just like they are still not serious. I am not a fan of GSW the reason I am saying this but I do want to see again the players play. Boston lost to Hornets, I Missed the handles of Kyrie though they still have a great game against Hornets.

Its only pre season and their star players didnt play on the 4th quarter. Pre season is not the basis. Its the whole season.


I believe that this the preseason will be the time for Warriors bench to step up. Their star players will sit most of the time and watch the bench so that they know how the bench will play against them.

It is just like a tune up game.
You know how they want their players safety first.
Injuries takes a long time to heal so they would not want that to happen with a game just like that.
They use their bench player more to see their potentials but yet the other team also does the same so it is like bringing out their skill to maybe get a spot for the 2nd team when the season starts.

Nobody takes pre-season games seriously, unless you are 4th string guy fighting for a roster spot. Don't forget that GSW had the lead up until 4th q where it was bench v bench players.

For me again, the Phoenix Suns will be the Champion may be because of their number 1 Pick this year Deandre Ayton and new players from other teams like Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza (Houston Rockets) and the young core Devin Booker.

Tell me you are joking?  Grin Suns ain't even making POs this year. Sorry but these two words - Suns and a Championship sound crazy put together in the same sentence.

With Lebron James, I’d say that anything is possible, The Cavaliers team should never have made it to the Championship Finals but because of him alone, they did. Maybe he is the one to bring the Lakers to the finals again.

Lebron now have a pure point guard teammate Rajon Rondo unlike in Cavaliers last season so I think he will now have a not tiring game every game because he holds almost all position. Stephenson is a good role player too and known for his defense as we seen how he able to guard Lebron man to man last playoffs. Lakers doesn't have much of superstar players but a role players.

This veterans will surely give their young players a moral boost in every game. Playing with these veterans is like a dream to those young players.

That could be a key too.
Since Lebron plays like a shooting guard as always and Rondo as a pure passer who dont really care if he make points or not as long as he gets assists.
A great combination and add the defensive players whose role was just pure defense. It could work even if the chemistry is still blooming.

This young players will see how it will be done.

For me, preseason doesn't matter when it comes of statistic or team standing. It's clearly for part of improvement and practicing for the upcoming regular season. For now, let us predict who will be the 2018-19 NBA Champion this Season. For me again, the Phoenix Suns will be the Champion may be because of their number 1 Pick this year Deandre Ayton and new players from other teams like Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza (Houston Rockets) and the young core Devin Booker.

Thanks for the update Mamba. I am one of the fans of the Suns at Steve Nash times and now with Booker who had been a great offensive player.

It's pre season dude. Don't expect teams to field in their top players and risk getting them injured evem before the regular season starts. This will be a venue for rookies and draftees to show their stuff.

Lets not overreact on the preseason matches because we all know no one really plays 100% on preseason but you can see some stuff there.

For example you can see hayward seems like he recovered very well but he looks like he lost a step and gained some pounds, he was never the most athletic player out there but getting chubby would mean bad things for him so with the upcoming season he needs to start working on conditioning a lot, more than others.

You see jaylen brown having amazing defensive year this season is possibility and I think kyrie is as healthy as it gets, it is going to be a beastly year for celtics with lebron gone from east. I really really really hope a lakers vs celtics, lebron vs kyrie finals but I doubt we will ever get it.

Well even without lebron, the lakers have a very good chance of making the playoffs. I mean, their composotion of talented young guys, kuzma ingram and ball, who would likely all peak at the same time, is pretty potent. But of course throw in james and they're pretty much assured of a spot.
I disagree a bit with this. They didnt clinch the playoffs last season although they improved with the help of Ball. Now that LeBron and other veteran players are there, they have a chance to clinch into the playoffs.

These young players are better compare to the young players of Celtics for me. Its just the coach of Celtics is better so they got into the ECF last season. Lets see how this young players play in the upcoming season.
That's the real thing, they have a big chance now because they already have Lebron James.
Last season they showed a great improvement but they did not reach to the playoffs, remember that West has bigger competition compared to the east.
Yeah they showed a lot of improvement last season and with the addition of the veterans especially LeBron, they will improve more this season and in the next seasons. I believe these young players will be an all star player.

Western Conference has a better competition indeed because they have many good players compare to East. Lakers' young players will be challenged now if they can cope up with the players of West.

Hell yeah, finally some action. These second half turnarounds will be quite common if you ask me, as starters get to play no more than 15-20min per game.

Glad to see Hayward back on the court after that horrific injury.  I was overly impressed with Miles Bridges in the last 5 min of the game, Clippers might regret trading him.

On a side note, how shocking is to see Tony Parker in Hornets jersey  Shocked damn
