junix Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) well at least there's one other member here who thinks Golden State will get back to the FInals, oddsmakers have the Cavs winning it all this year.apparently nothing has changed. it's still cavs all the way. that's exactly what the oddsmakers said last season...with a lineup of james, love, irving, thompson, et al cavs would win it all. it never did though.

joewhite Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Great opening night in the NBA with the Bulls and the Cavs. Signs that this will be a more competitive and exciting season. Maybe Obama's presence in Chicago meant the Bulls needed to win no matter what. Gasol and Butler saved the day for them. Quote Link to comment
darksoulriver Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Good start from Warriors, Bulls and Pistons 82 games only 8 from each Conference who will survive? i'll take CAVS for EC and Spurs for WC anyway here's the prediction from Yahoo Analyst Quote Link to comment
MosaiqSky Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 And we are back to regular programming! Excellent opening night! Can't wait to see the other teams in action.Notable teams to watch for me would be the following:Portland Trailblazers - my 2k15 team. Let's see how the gutted roster works out this time. Cue shine bright like a diamond for Lillard.San Antonio Spurs - possibly the last run for Duncan and the gang. Future still looks bright tho with Kawhi and LaMarcus in the roster.LA Clippers - can't think of a DEEPER roster than this one, Championship or bust.LA Lakers - to see how the youngsters develop ie. Clarkson, Randle, Russell. Can Kobe stay healthy this time on his record 20th season in purple and gold?Miami Heat - interesting how far this team would go with a healthy Bosh, and the additions of Gerald Green, Amare Stoudemire and rookie Justice Winslow. Whiteside has a lot of upside and the Dragic still has a lot of room for improvement.Golden State Warriors - nuff said. Chef Curry is still red hot!Time to maximize that Cignal TV HD subscription.

Guiness Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 apparently nothing has changed. it's still cavs all the way. that's exactly what the oddsmakers said last season...with a lineup of james, love, irving, thompson, et al cavs would win it all. it never did though. they made the pick before the season started based on the kind of talent that is available on the team. of course you can't really make an accurate prediction since there are variables to consider. Injuries during the season hurt the team. Kevin Love didn't even play in the finals. Irving got injured in game 1. Lebron can only do so much. The oddsmakers make a pick on which team they think has the most talent to win a championship. It's pretty much the same thing that could happen to the Golden State Warriors. What happens to them if let's say Curry goes down with an achilles injury or Klay thompson is out for the season. That can change the course of the team. Quote Link to comment

LeBron can always be counted upon to get into the finals. Winning a title is a totally different thing. Quote Link to comment

Guiness Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Ang masasabi ko lang dyan. LeBron can always be counted upon to get into the finals. Winning a title is a totally different thing. I'm thinking the Cavs are gonna start slow because of some injuries i read in their team report. Lebron seems to be suffering from back problems and had shots in the back to relieve the pain. kind of like what Nash had in phoenix, or bird with the celtics. Irving is obviously out, won't come back until January. Love is slowly getting back to from coming back from shoulder injury, Shumpert is out for 2 months due to a muscle wrist injury suffered during training camp. Mozgov is also getting back in shape because of knee surgery in the offseason. They'll struggle because of these injuries but they should be able to still get some wins. Especially since they are playing in the weak eastern conference. I'm thinking the bulls, hawks, heat and wizards (barring any injuries to the team) will get the early good starts. Here's to hoping the Knicks stay in the middle of the pack. I'll be happy if they get to be .500 team this year Edited October 28, 2015 by hahnz Quote Link to comment
Cap™ Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 no love for the Pistons beating Atlanta? I feel like SVG got his own roster na. The pace is relatively quick at Motown. Grabe yung mga FGAs ni Marcus Morris and Ersan Ilyasova Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 That game between the spurs and the thunder was awesome. Went down the wire. Felt like a playoff atmosphere. Quote Link to comment
Cap™ Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 you guys think that OKC's officially Russ' team now? Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 i think it's still Durant's team. Just think of last year, they didn't make the playoffs even with Westbrook. They are a different team with KD. The Cavs looked like they were in a pretty good rhythm too. Trashing the Grizzlies 106-76. Kevin Love stepped up with 17 and 13. Lebron struggled surprisingly.

Cap™ Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'd attest Bron's bad game to his back flaring up and it's a back-to-back game. But regarding OKC's dilemma, would you rather go with KD or Russ? Given that you might lose one next year (KD) or the year after (Russ), who's more valuable of the two? Quote Link to comment
rooster69ph Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 ^^^ I'll go with KD Quote Link to comment
