THE biggest questions this season:

 

Will the Warriors repeat?

How big a comeback will the Thunder make?

GM's say that this season is LeBron's and Cavaliers' to lose? Will they finally win one?

Will Tim Duncan get his 6th ring to break his 5-ring tie with Kobe Bryant with the help of LMA this time?

Will Anthony Davis raise the Maurice Podoloff (MVP) trophy this season?

Who will win the Rookie-of-the-Year award?

Are Kobe Bryant, Paul George, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony healthy enough to make an impact this season?

 

I love this game! B)

For me, with the upgrades the West Teams went through, I honestly don't think the warriors will repeat

Thunder will reach the play offs, and that is about it

Yeah, the team to beat in the East is the Cavs, but with how heavy the teams are in the west... Not sure about NBA Champions, maybe Eastern champions though..

Tim Duncan has a big chance on winning his 6th..

Anthony Davis will not be the MVP this season

No idea about rookie of the year

Yeah, all 4 I think will make an impact...

Sad to see my RIP City roster get murdered like that. Interesting how this current roster will fare. Lillard all the way! But damn, will be missing LA, Nic, and Wes. Kailangan na ulit maghanap ng ibang 2K16 roster para sa tournament.

 

Syet, I feel you. Ako nga nakawawa yung Dallas ko eh. Pero partly to blame din yung management namin. Mas gusto ko pa na mag-tank sila ngayon.

surprisingly, no one from the panel is picking the warriors to even reach the finals. they are the defending champions shouldn't they be the favorite team to beat? their team is intact from last year. the core players of curry, thompson, iguodala, green are back. hmm..

 

the spurs are no surprise being picked, even the cavs. the pick im curious about are the okc thunder. they know something i don't? curious about coach billy donovan and how he can help durant and westbrook get over the hump and back to the finals

i doubt it. i put the spurs, clippers warriors and thunder over them.

 

Well anyone can doubt anyone's choice at this point. All I'm saying is that they have equal chance. After all, they're just one playmaker away from making things interesting against the Warriors last season. And they now have it in the person of Ty Lawson. Add to that the fact that Patrick Beverley's 100% healthy this year and you have two starter-level point guards (if not All-Stars). That will significantly help Harden in the end because he now have players who can take care of playmaking duties whenever he needs to rest from it because I'm pretty sure The Beard will still dominate the ball even with Lawson around.

 

My serious pick to come out of the West will be the Warriors though. Let's see if anyone's defense is strong enough right now to stop the Splash Brothers or if any team out there can really challenge the Warriors' excellent defense.

for a surprise team that probably isn't talking about or giving notice. i pick the sacramento kings. cousins, the signing of rondo with george karl calling the shots. this team will do well i think for the bottom tier teams.

 

i agree, lawson and beverley are quality guards. but the west is top heavy with superstar guards, every other night they will be facing guys like westbrook, cp3, curry, parker among others. plus the deangelo russell for the lakers is young and quick. will be interesting to see if they keep up with these type of guards they will play frequently.

 

but that spurs team, aldridge and west signing for them. this team can play small or big. the warriors are there since they are the defending champs but like i said before the season started. i am really curious how they would match up against the much improved spurs, clippers and the comebacking thunder.

 

looking at the roster, the spurs are a better team. i pick them in the west. the heat in the east.

i think the Spurs were able to beat GSW last year during their head to head match up (2-1). i think Kawhi and Danny can match up/defend Steph and Klay. Pero syempre iba na ngayon at may championship na ang GSW. they have that pride to defend the throne. syempre andun din yung pride ng Spurs to reclaim the championship and get that 6th ring for TD

 

another West team that i think can go toe-to-toe with GSW is OKC. if Durant and Westbrook stays healthy, then you cant stop these 2 as well (kahit anong depensa pa itapat mo).

 

kahit ano mangyari, it is going to be a fun season!

Yup. Those questions will surely make this an exciting season!

sana lang nde malala yung shoulder injury nya dun sa last pre-season game with GSW

 

i don' think kobe will last the season without getting a major injury and sideline him for the rest of the season. im not questioning his desire, motivation or will to always come and play and give 100%.it's his body i'm more concerned about. at 37 years old coming off major surgeries to his achilles, his knee cap, a torn rotator cuff.

 

and now each time he gets nicked, a bruise here, a bruise there. everyone gets real concerned and looks at it like a microscope.

 

all of these injuries piling up means his body is done. kind of like what happened to barkley in houston, or shaq in cleveland and boston. i remember shaq in his last year in boston he was just running up the floor, and suddenly he pulls a hamstring and his season is done. just from running.

 

i sure hope that doesn't happen to kobe but everything that ive seen and know up to this point tells me that his body will fail him this season. and he just might decide to hang it up.

3 Generations of Lakers here (Grandad to me ROFL), from Jerry West to Magic to ShaqKobe upto now. 2016 Leggo

 

now you i consider real fan, you support your team even through the bad years. i for one have been a knick fan since i can remember. the patrick ewing era to the ridiculous eddy curry stephon marbury years up to the current melo phil jackson era. i would like for them to get back to being relevant again like when they reached the nba finals against the spurs. even though they were written off being the 8th seed that year. i love their heart and hustle.

 

i don't particularly like front-runner bandwagon fans who support teams only when they win. when the team they support starts to lose, they leave them and root for the winning team. those are like fake fans to me.

 

win or lose i will always go for the knicks.

^ Speaking of fans. I don't know if I'm a fake fan by your definition. :)

 

I'm a player fan. Why? Maybe because I don't live in the US and it's hard for me to identify with a city. I can be a loyal player fan though. When I started watching the NBA, I followed the career of Magic Johnson. I only cheered for the Lakers then. When he retired, I became a Utah Jazz fan because of John Stockton. Even before John Stockton retired, I was a double-faced fan already because of this flashy point guard named Jason Kidd - I became a Mavs/Jazz fan.

 

Magic and Stock - I became their fan in the peak of their careers. I started watching the NBA at around 1988. The year I got really hooked to basketball when Purefoods entered the PBA.

 

Magic Johnson's my favorite player of all time but Jason Kidd was the first player I idolized right from his rookie year. So I became a Mavs fan, then a Suns fan, a huge New Jersey Nets fan, and then back to being a Mavs fan.

 

2011 - I was on top of the world because it is the first and only time ever in my life as an NBA fan that my favorite player (and his team) won the title. Then Mark Cuban decided to break the championship team core.

 

Then I became a Knicks fan for a season. Although I'm still part-Mavs fan because they won my heart when they won the title. Specially because of Dirk.

 

Now - I'm a Dallas fan. I feel that I finally have a home team. But I'm also a Bucks fan because Kidd's the coach there. So there. I'm a Bucks and a Mavs fan today. ^_^

there's no problem with being a fan of a player. i have a problem with people who root for the team only when they win. that's fake to me. if they are losing, do stop cheering for them.

that's definite a front-runner bandwagon fan to me.

 

besides you already said your a dallas fan. so im guessing you would cheer for the mavs every time they play

 

ill give you an example. the miami heat. people jumped on the bandwagon when they learned that lebron left cleveland to sign for them. i feel bad for the cavs fans. can't blame them for burning lebron's jersey when he left.

 

fast forward to the present. where are those so -called heat fans now, i don't hear a damn peep from them because they aren't winning. oh wait. they probably jumped the bandwagon again to cleveland because lebron is in cleveland.

 

those are the kind of wannabe fans that irritate the heck out of me.

 

im a player fan too, i like MJ and root for him whenever he plays except when its against the knicks. i had to endure those isiah thomas years with marbury and those losing seasons. but i stand by the team no matter what. even if realistically i don't see them competing for the championship any time soon. i will cheer for them.
