So almost every team has played their first game except for Philly and Milwaukee who will play later today. Let’s have this post be a fun artifact we can look back on at the end of the season and see what we were right about and what we were wrong about. here are my overreactions from the limited basketball i’ve watched and yes I am going out of my way to overreact:
- Russell Westbrook is once again That guy
- Anthony Davis can NEVER be the best player on the Lakers
- Brandon Miller > Scoot and Wemby
- Zion Williamson MVP year?
- Ben Simmons career is over
- The Lakers are screwed without Dennis Schroeder
- Cade Cunningham and the Pistons are legit? All-star debut?
- Trae Young can’t shoot anymore
The AD take I think needs a tweak. He can be the best player on the Lakers. He cannot be the best player on any team wanting to contend so long as he cannot bring it consistently.
As for my own take, the Nuggets bench is going to surprise people (in a good way for the Nuggets, bad for the rest of the league).
