Sixers upset the Heat. Rookie G Michael Carter-Williams a HUGE debut: 22 Pts, 12 Ast, 9 Stl, 7 Reb.

Tough to pick my team, as aside from following the playoffs last year this will be my first season of trying to pay attention to basketball.

Ideally the Raptors would be my choice, but coming late into the NBA game they've kinda sucked and the Clippers are usually the most exciting team to watch, so this year ill try and balance my support between Clippers and Raptors.

Big win for t.dot tonight against Celtics

The Suns are going to be awful and that just makes me sad.  It's going to be a long season.

How can you say that when they just beat the Blazers by 13 tonight?

I don't want to say it I just believe it to be the truth.  I'd be more than happy if they prove me wrong and manage to at least make the playoffs.  I'm just not holding my breath until it happens.

They are 2-0 now and Eric Bledsoe is playing at a high level as well as Miles Plumlee who is averaging a double double the first two games.

But can that play be kept up over the course of the next 80?  That's the question.  Believe me, I'll be jumping for joy if it does but I just don't see it happening.

They look like a playoff dark horse team to me. I think they can sneak into the playoffs in the 5-8 range and give some team a challenge.

It's possible and I'd be glad to see it happen (though it'd most likely be shortlived if they do) I just don't have high hopes for it actually happening.  I wish that was different though...in my perfect world they'd be the ones in the Finals and Lebron would be playing in Shanghai or something lol

But I will say that this year's team looks better than last year's in them getting rid of dead weight druggies and underperformers.

This is true. They kept the best from last season and added in some good talent. Much improved team. Glad they kept Tucker around. I think he's really underrated especially from a defensive standpoint.

Give it a few years, this season will be more about rebuilding and things can only go up next season with all those draft picks they have. Suns, IF they handle this right, will be a contender out West again in 3-4 seasons. The key will be who they bring in. Bledsoe and Plumlee have been great additions thus far.
