Can't wait to see the Bulls fall flat on their faces. Talent is there but the injury concerns are way too glaring. I can't see them getting close to 55 wins. 50... perhaps.

[jays_fever]

Vegas win totals for Over unders. Seriously there are four pretty easy bets IMO. Heat under 44, Pacers over 33, Denver under 42.5 and Phoenix under 43.5.

 

 

Cleveland Cavaliers 58.5

San Antonio Spurs 57.5

Los Angeles Clippers 55.5

Chicago Bulls 55

Oklahoma City Thunder 53.5

Golden State Warriors 51

Dallas Mavericks 50.5

Houston Rockets 50.5

Memphis Grizzlies 48.5

Portland Trail Blazers 48.5

Washington Wizards 48

Toronto Raptors 48

Miami Heat 44

New York Knicks 40.5

Brooklyn Nets 42

Charlotte Hornets 44

Indiana Pacers 33

New Orleans Pelicans 43.5

Atlanta Hawks 41.5

Denver Nuggets 42.5

Detroit Pistons 36

Phoenix Suns 43.5

Boston Celtics 27

Los Angeles Lakers 29.5

Minnesota Timberwolves 28

Sacramento Kings 30

Orlando Magic 27

Utah Jazz 26.5

Milwaukee Bucks 24

Philadelphia 76ers 15

 

Bulls under 55, Celtics over 27, 76ers under 15, Lakers over 29.5,

Challenge time pick 5...I'll add Dallas under to my list (wanted to put the Raptors here but decided against)

 

Dallas under

Phoenix under

Denver under

Miami under

Indiana over.

 

Honestly 76ers under 15 should be a lock but I can't bring myself to do that.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Cavs under

Chicago under

Brooklyn over

Phoenix over

Orlando over

Didn't realize how many home games we had early on... 12 of our first 17 are at home... Gotta start strong.

I'd honestly take the over on Denver if I had to make a pick. And the Heat isn't so easy either. They still have Bosh, Wade and a great coach.

Luol Deng too.

Kinda sucks for the people who don't have TSN 2 or SN1 as there is a ton of games on those channels. Getting Ballstreams is probably the best bet for basketball fans in the country.

[jays_fever]

Would love to see what they have playing on their main channels during the games. The cash grab excuse is pretty lame because just mad many people flat out cancel their cable rather than pay the stupid prices for about 3 channels they want

I understand if its the NFL but without national rights for NHL I wonder what the hell TSN is thinking? I know Curling gets good ratings and all but the way TSN and SN f***s over Raptors fans its no surprise their fans cancel their cable.

I think I could be a pretty decent NBA coach if I had LeBron

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Watching a clip from the New Orleans game... stadium is like half empty... They have such a good young team too...

 

Meanwhile we'll probably have like 5K people outside of the ACC tomorrow night in the square.

[burlingtonbandit]

Triple header tonight

 

Orlando vs New Orleans

Dallas vs San Antonio

Houston vs Kobe

 

AD goes off for 20/20 tonight. Book it.

 

Wasn't 20/20 but I'd say 26,17 and 9 blocks is even more impressive. Guy is a superstar already. Top 5 NBA player.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

2 hours until tip-off!

 

Can't wait! Should be a great year.

[immature]

Go Raps. Atlanta is a decent team that will be a good starting test.

[jays_fever]

Pretty pumped. Side note these we the north shirts should come in different sizes

Are you at the arena?

[Orgfiller]

Is Greivis Vasquez taking a dump or what? Weird that he didn't show up when he got called.

[Orgfiller]

I expect Millsap to have a good season. The Hawks have a good PG, PF and C, could have a decent year.

[Dylan]

Lets go raps!!!

Lol

[Orgfiller]

JV with his first post up move. #TheDreamPresence

[immature]

Everybody looks strong so far on both sides of the floor.

[Orgfiller]

Getting a bit too careless with the fouls. Like what I'm seeing though, the effort on the boards is strong all around.

[burlingtonbandit]

If the Raptors are going to take that next step they are going to have to take less of these long 2 point jumpshots.

[Orgfiller]

Amir Johnson is the best.

[burlingtonbandit]

Amir Johnson is the best.

 

So underrated. Mr. Efficient

[Orgfiller]

Not a bad first quarter. Defense was strong, defensive glass got a bit weak near the end, but the effort was still good. I felt that a few shots were forced, that'll probably improve as the game moves along.

[immature]

Amir was great. The ball movement wasn't too great, the ball seemed to stop too much with Demar.

[Orgfiller]

Well f*** me I sat Vasquez.
