Exclusive Around the NBA: October 2022 - The regular season has arrived!

They won championships in 1947, 1956 and 1975 (but we can count only the 1975 one if you want the Golden State part to be true) and the "we believe" Warriors were not unsettled either.

 

CJ got hot and the rest followed and they pulled it out. I don't know what to think about Dallas. Willie Green, though, is legit.

 

I mean if you're an almost billionaire, can't blame him for flying to a proper beach instead.

 

Oh absolutely! Which is why it's "kind of hard to believe". Still, it seems like he'd at least had made a day trip to the coast once. Maybe after a visit to his dealership or something. Isn't it in McMinnville?

 

Dallas has the offense, especially when Hardaway gets back. But their defense does not appear to be very good. I think that is one team picked ahead of us that we can pass.

 

Powell and RoCo not doing so good...

 

Taking away 2 more years of Lakers picks for role players might not "help" the Lakers. If this happens; perhaps we should thank the Jazz for further destroying the Lakers future!

 

I had to digest this a little before realizing something. Credit to you for knowing the process of painting a magnificent mural of Damian.

 

Yep, you just need to change your name to "Emporer Acceleration"

 

Looking at tonight's game against Miami, with the Heat favored by 2.5, am I correct in remembering that we've been the underdog in each of the first 4 games? I wonder what the record is for the most such consecutive games to open a season undefeated?

 

I actually figured that out!

Edit- Could go with Rarely-Fast

 

What a complete shocker.
Not.

 

Just as I post that...

"The Jazz became the second team over the past three decades to start 3-0 despite being at least seven-point underdogs in each game"

So, at most one other team in the past ~30 years has done it over a 3-0 start, making the feat over a 4-0 start pretty unlikely.

(Edit: they did say at least seven-point underdogs, though, so that negates the direct comparison.)

 

Kawhi Leonard isn't doing all that great either.

 

Is his old self playing or sitting? It's a valid question at this point?

 

Never realized that....thanks

 

That way people can see I'm right after every win!
