GAME #1: Cleveland Cavaliers 104 - Toronto Raptors 116 (1-0)

Very good chance that "trash" is already a top 10 basketball player in this league.

Not even close. He would have to better than cp3 or Paul George or Jimmy butler taking the fringe top 10 spots. Top 25 maybe

Demar was top 25...

Again I repeat to say there is a chance.. after all we aren't comparing Simmons of last season but how big of a step he might have already began taking to establish himself as a possible top 10 player.

Kevin Durant has a big ass bald spot this year

Cue rumours confirming Durant will be joining LeBron in L.A. next year

Looks like Lebron-Lite to me.

Sure, except Lebron can shoot outside the paint, and he can't.

Couldn't watch the Boston-Philly game but from the 10 minute highlight the Celtics look kind of damn scary this year. Brown and Tatum another year older. And they got a deep team like us. Mind you teams always look better on 10 min recaps since they show only the makes not the misses. But they look good. If the worst of their starters is Gordon Hayward or Brown...

Happy NBA day!

Game day! Hallelujah.

[Demographic Shift]

On a one game trend line.

1. Philly..as advertised..struggles to shoot from outside. 80 something points total. Ouch.
2. Joel Embiid for all the hype on being a stretch 5 continues his 25% or so 3 point shooting. Yep he posted 23 points. And it took 21 shots to get them. Less 4 points on FTs. Rudy Gay like.
3. Hayward is rusty and has a ways to go to recapture his pre injury form.
4. Finding minutes for everyone at the wing positions in Boston..an incredibly good problem to have..is going to be difficult.

Merry Christmas everyone!
