Not when they first got together…at this point its beating a dead horse with little to show for link up. There has been alot of disappointment, the hype has died.

Teams are def playing much harder earlier this year…less sitting out so far. The star players really wanna get that money for their bench guys. Dame said it best…they may not feel but their teammates will that makes u wanna win.

Not sure about scoring title but he will have his best season to date.

His jumpshot was rollin tonight

2010 star lebron is basically 2000s

I think the attention u get from the media kinda made it more sour for russ. He just bought a house there and didnt know where he was going. The pressure of playing with lebron and the lakers makes it intense for anyone really. I think there is just a vibe in a room bron didnt want me anymore.

His demoralized trying to carry dlos bag…playing so hard to have Dlo constantly end a momentum offensive and allow the other team to get back up 12 in a blink. You can see on Brons face too like broo get this gut out the game!!

Bradley beal and chris paul. I think bradley beal is a great player when the team revolves around him. His a volume shooter I am not quite sure how he will fit in with this suns team as a role player. I am not entirely sure if he can adapt to more of playmaker.

Its closer but also normally wide open if I am not mistaken. Its normally outside of the play furthest from the top and center. I look at it like its the edge of the map. Fast breaks your taught to run there because it spreads the floor.

Pelicans have a chance to be solid, most likely the rockets, blazer, san Antonio those r my 3 picks.

They are better than they were last year with this new team? Considering the nuggets loss players…how r they that much better? That makes zero sense really. To consider the celtics, bucks, nuggets and suns in championship contender level but the lakers taking a back seat makes no sense. Even if the teams were the same last year the nuggets and lakers. Neither were significantly better than the other to garner one a tier above the other.

Id throw the lakers in there…ironically u could easily argue next 4 or 5 best teams come from the west it feels like. Gonna be another dog fight

If ham could coach and not play dlo every game 30 minutes do was -45 in 3 games was crazy to me. Could have been a much better series game wise, i think the lakers played them tighter they actually had a chance to win 4 games…suns got destroyed in some of theirs however they did win 2.

Competitive games that came down to the fourth…I dont see them a tier above the lakers even last years team. Not sure how people r so butt hurt about that. The Moral victory saga lol. I was just saying the games were competitive lakers got better the nuggets stayed the same. How can you put the nuggets, suns, bucks all a tier over the lakers? Dosent make sense to me

Oh no denver is better, but considering how close the games were and the additions they made. Its hard to put denver in a tier above them? Not entirely sure how we can do that after watching those games. The lakers are def better than they were last year. I would put the bucks, celtics, Nuggets, suns and lakers in the same tier.

Id out the lakers in that tier considering their off season moves and having a year together with their core. The nuggets won by like a total of 23 points in 4 games, hard for me not to add them but have denver in it.

They will win alot of regular season game might be 1st seed. Since the intensity is as high or consistent. Most just basketball league effort…they will get the shots they want pretty easily and out shoot most teams. Their issues will come in the playoffs i think their lack of size and depth will hurt them against the lakers or nuggets. I can see them winning them aswell but the west is a dogfight. The east will be top heavy but the west will be a battle. If things get tight they might get beat up.

Zubac is better post player i think…but they will prolly go back and forth. Dont take anything seriously in the preseason its ymca basketball.

Ive learned preseason games should be held in high regard…especially when looking at who will do well. Lol
