King might be the letdown team of the season. New coach, Fox is already banged up, lost their big for 4-6 weeks. Can't rack up early season losses in the west.

Not sure what's up with the Pacers...integrating Brogdon, no Dipo, putting Sabonis in the starting lineup?

I picked the Pacers to have a strong season, but I had forgotten that Oladipo was injured. That's a huge loss for them. Should have factored it into my predictions.

[Hermen]

Indiana only has one starter from last season playing. Their team changed significantly from last year.

Warriors getting blown out by OKC right now, down 64-35 to the Thunder. It is going to be a long year for them. They may miss the playoffs. I was watching them the other night and their roster depth is just awful. They are relying on a bunch of no-names and losers for major minutes. They actually have Marquese Chriss in their rotation for Pete's sake, and they're happy to have him. He's probably their 5th-best player.

It's breakin' my heart.

[Shabazz]

They will miss the playoffs.

[Superbone]

Ahh...

[Flagrant Fowl]

I predicted the Suns would beat the Warriors before the season started.

Now it's looking like it'll be a pretty big let down if they don't win that game.

I just love to see it

I thought you guys would enjoy this. Curious to see if the trend holds. I don't think Steph Curry can keep them afloat. He isn't built to put a team on his back for the whole season and score 40 a night. He's too little and fragile; he'll wear out.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I think they'll trade D'Angelo. Maybe before the deadline this season, but certainly by the start of next season.

I've seen a few quarters of them so far and I really don't see how he's going to fit with them in the long term.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Jae Crowder hit a buzzer beating 3 to defeat the Nets in OT. Pretty funny because he completely air balled a 3 the possession prior.

I think they grabbed him as an asset primarily. Losing Durant for nothing would be bad; getting an All-Star guard for him was better for the Warriors IMO. He is a bad fit there, I agree; he's too ball-dominant and too redundant with what Curry gives them. I think if they could move him for a forward with a pulse, they'd have to consider it. Aaron Gordon, somebody like that?

Blake griffen?

How are the rockets looking so far?

I think they have to get 2 or 3 good players for him instead of one big name. Steph / Klay / Draymond is still the core, but they need 4 more guys to compete.

I guess no one thought to look at the Suns to see if you put a bunch of crappy players around a star(s), they won't be good.

Dray's rep gonna take a big hit. He's not a guy who looks good on bad teams.
