Basketball is back. We've been ready to see Trey Burke start in an all star game, watch Blake Griffin drink similac and infamil from a shake cup, stand mesmerized as Jakarr Sampson accidentally drops his keys while in a defensive stance, and so much more. http://www.nba.com/gameline/20151027/ Your schedule http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3690267 Your Fashion Thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3748251 Your Team Meeting Thread, fill it out if you have the guts Let's get ready to basketball Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Why on earth is that MN/LAL game on national TV this early in the season? Oh, the 1 and 2 picks playing against each other? That's dumb. I guess you weed out the casual fans early.

I'm so glad its back. I hope for good streams for all and Kobe to drop 90 points in a game...oh and the Pacers not to embarrass themselves but that last one is a stretch.

Hahaha, good streams for all is such a kind and charitable wish, you're a good man. For what it's worth, I think the pacers will score a lot and probably be as good as the bucks and pistons http://nyloncalculus.com/2015/10/26/sportvu-driving-school/ Some interesting stuff about driving and passing from Seth Partnow, and the chart that reveals the majesty and unique spirit of James Johnson

Their defense might be quite a bit worse without Amir Johnson. Playing Patches Peterson and JV together could mean efficient offense and bad defense

MourningView posted:Now the Lakers under, on the other hand. Yeah it's actually pretty safe money, although I imagine if you had money on it, it would be pretty stressful because they're likely to get 50-60% of their wins in the first 1/4 of the season and it might seem like you got a loser on your hands.

^^I am not at all surprised that the NBA is the first US sport with autonomous spy robots wandering their grounds. I'd take the under for the Timberwolves at 28.5, but I'm not confident enough to cover the take. Also, all these predictions, I'm pretty sure Boston is going to make the playoffs as the 5-8 seed. They won 40 games last year and will probably be better. Depending on how hurt/tire-firey Miami is they might even get a home series.

I am optimistic for the Raptors to finish top 4. I foresee a big defensive improvement with Casey bringing in one of Chicago's ICE experts, especially with Jonas' defensive contribution. The dude is too big and slow to be chasing guards around the perimeter. Offense... will still be up to Lowry in a way, at least with Lou gone, and CoJo in, the second unit will have some movement, and they look to be rather defensively well off with Turd Vasquez gone and Bigsmack Byumbo in. No matter what I expect a lot of PISS shots from Demar
