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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.
