Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

I think the moral of the story is **** Denver

Oh, so you saw it coming then? Even the TWolves fan here predicted they’d lose this series.

I know my limitations. I don't watch basketball enough to make predictions like that. I'd expect a good series though.

But for someone such as yourself who likes to gloat that they know so much more about bball than others - that's a pretty bad prediction you made. clearly your predictions should be taken with a grain of salt.

Just saying.

The East is so damn boring. At least the Mavs/Wolves may be fun to watch.

I reserve the right to be a closet Wolves fan due to proximity to KC lol

Well considering you largely only enter these threads to either trash me (such as today) or LeBron, I’d tend to agree.

2 out of 16 here picked the TWolves: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...final-matchups

The resident TWolves fan thought they’d lose in 6.

You sure as hell didn’t think the TWolves would win either.

And you think this is the best way to go about insulting me?

Anyway, I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again but I’m definitely not going to stop picking series. That’s part of the fun of this.

The regular season matchup between the Mavs-Twolves don't really tell much but the Twolves won the matchup 3-1 but those 3 wins Luka only played once and Kyrie didn't play at all but the one loss they both did.

Still haven’t watched a Celtics game yet this postseason but I suppose I’ll have to start now.

Dallas is also a pretty different team post-trades.

Gotta be way up there as one of the easiest runs to the Finals ever, right? Broken down Miami, Cleveland without Mitchell, and now the Pacers in general. Celtics don't pull it off this year you'd almost have to nuke that core of players from orbit. It just won't happen.

Yep. The Mavs got 2 big guys as well so it should be a fun matchup.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Anyone think the Pacers have a shot?

They went to the Finals 2 years ago. They aren't winning the championship without Porzingis.

I hardly post here first of all. Second the reason behind that is because it gets so watered down with your LeBron posts. So of course when I do come here and post insults to you can happen. Yes there's been multiple times, probably more than I should, I have posted insulting you because it's annoying as others have said as well. You make yourself any easy target with all your LeBron posts.

You've been doing better lately with that and I hope that continues.

I never said you should stop picking the games. It's all in fun. I'm just saying no one should put any significant money on FanDuel or act like the Mavs have no chance based on your predictions because you are wrong - a lot.

I think they do. If they can steal game 1 or 2.
