Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

You think both of the experienced teams will make it?

If warriors had butler at the beginning of the year they’re probably the 2 seed

No way. Thunder are too deep and young. Warriors are not beating them

Perfect!

That's the sentiment towards the Warriors every year they win a championship.

You will think it is a hot take.

The OKC Thunder will go 15-3 in the NBA Playoffs and win the NBA Finals.

Cementing history as the best team to ever exist.

I didn't think of the Warriors as too old in 22 (they had Poole and Wiggins who were young players).

I just thought of them as woefully shallow. They were fortunate to get Klay back for his last little spurt of reasonably dangerous play but they really were a 6 man team with Looney as a starter who didn't play as much as Poole off the bench. Beyond that it was scrap like the corpse of Otto Porter Jr and a one trick pony like GPII.

I still have truly no idea how they won that championship. It's easily the most impressive carry job of Curry's career and as strong an effort as we've seen in recent memory.

Tatum and the Celtics choked horribly and Wiggins played the best basketball of his life; that's how they won that championship.

Insane Heat vs hawks game. Back and forth. A little extra time.

[KC_Connection]

Nope, Nico was wrong.

The Warriors have won their championships when they have had a great defense (along with great shooting). They have that heading into the playoffs.

22 was wild in that they maxed out their talent and I'm sure the experience they had accumulated helped.

This year Houston is going to focus and Curry which will allow Butler to perform his playoff magic like previous seasons. Like someone said a few posts above the Warriors would be #2 seed if Butler had started the season with that club. Looney and GPII are still on the team.

Wiggins still in the playoffs this year. Miami looking like they want to win in the playoffs.

That was very nice from Ja. Memphis is long dicking them early

[RollChiefsRoll]

Ja Morant is so ****ing nasty.
