I have effectively disconnected from the NBA the past two years after adamanetly following it for decades due to work changes that just took more time away.

Since I'm so behind the ball, what is the main thing I should know about your team going into the season tomorrow? Any fun young players? Any locker-room cohesion issues or exciting new tactical changes?

Very excited and curious to see what the community comes up with.

We drafted some tall rookie

Nothing going on here thanks for asking though

If our added spacing will help solve our issues. We were a dominant defense and it’s not like we got fucked up in the 1st round because we didn’t show out on defense, we just had a god awful offensive output compounded by a spacing issue.

Players not named Donovan or Darius made just 536 3s in over 15k minutes last year. That’s 1 3 per ~6 combined minutes of play. Strus/niang combined for 351 3s in 3.7k minutes on their teams. Adding them will be so important to our spacing and may unlock Caris LeVert’s scoring ability by opening up the lanes.

Not sure if it is but you’re at least closer than last year. Would love to see a healthy nuggets vs Celtics finals

The tiniest starting lineup in the league if a rookie is not immediately NBA ready.

Geriatric squad with one less pool boy, getting out of bed will be more dangerous for them than 75% of the squads they'll play however

I don't even know if this is new anymore but Ben Simmons is having a comeback season, but for real this time

OKC are THE up and coming team at the moment. Great young core and a zillion draft picks

We're Rocketing up to 38 wins. If we can be as good as last year's Mavs, that will be a huge success

Nationally it's gonna be nothing but Donovan Mitchell's next team

Are we going for two years in a row? Or resetting the 16 year clock?

Kangz run it back and meet up with the warriors in the playoffs once again. This time they defeat the warriors in 6 and put an end to their dynasty. The league and media wonder in the off season if this is it for them and it is. Klay and warriors don't agree on a number and they go their separate ways. As foe the kangz they make it to the wcf. You heard it hear first

Everyone counts us out so underdog story baby!

If Bam and Tyler can make the leap, if not then praying Jimmy has enough in the tank for more playoff magic.

The Charlotte Hornets battle for their souls over being mediocre with a recidivist baby-mama beater or being bad without him. Meanwhile, we’re hosting “the next Paul George” on his rookie contract.

This is our year (for real this time)
