    The NBA season is almost upon us and boy its looking like its going to be an awesome season.

    So many big trades during the off season and so many super teams forming.

    Oklahoma looks insane but they will have 3 players who all like to take the shot so how they gel will be interesting to see. I think Cavs look better with rose and d wade. Rose is definitely due for a big season and he will play the perfect sidekick with Lebron.

    I really hope Philli comes alive this season - Simmons and Embiird look like they will kick it into beast mode. Simmons looks like a baby Lebron.

    Need to throw in Houston but don't think they will be good enough against GS.

    Kawhi for MVP and Simmons for ROTY.

    Looking forward to opening night. Taking Wednesday off work just to watch Cavs v Celtics.

    Still don’t see anyone getting close to GSW - too balanced both ways... pains me to say.

    It's going to be a fun season :)

    If they can avoid significant injuries then the dubs will be hard to beat - I just can't see any team in the west coming close.

    OKC might give them a run - but they haven't got the same depth. Spurs will be right up there - but Kawhi can only do so much.

    Houston will be interesting - I can see CP3 blowing up at Harden a few times.

    The Cavs looks good. D Rose looked very good in the pre-season. Will be interesting to see what they they do if he's performing at a high level when IT returns from injury.

    They will have a slightly more difficult run into the finals due to the Celtics picking up Kyrie and Hayward.

    I'll be watching a lot of Philly games this season. I don't think they'll go far - but it will be awesome seeing Embiid and Simmons play. Hopefully they both stay healthy.

    Lakers should be fun too.

    I can't wait!!!!

    Cheers

    Hayward....Celtics fans may as well switch off and tune in next season. They'll be struggling to even make the playoffs with what they have left.

    I actually think the NBA is getting too boring. Too many superstars on the same team ... making the rest of the NBA being cr*p. Well MJ says that it must be right .....



    I do feel sorry for Gordon Hayward though. It does makes the East all Cleveland ....

    So the NBA finals would be Cavs vs Dubs again ......

    Poor guy thats a terrible way to start the season.

    So what's everyones call on ROTY and MVP? Im starting to wish I voted for Harden as MVP. He looks so hungry and chilled at the same time.

    How good is Simmons going?

    Dubs lost but they were in 3rd gear for most of the game.

    My two favorite players for the next decade... Ben Simmons and Greek the freak !!!

    Bucks will finish top 4 in the East.

    Does Simmons qualify for ROTY? If so - he looked pretty comfortable in the last game and is going to get plenty of minutes. He’d be my pick.

    Lebron gets my mvp vote.

    Can we get rid of the Hayward photo please @DT

    Cheers

    haha @Biz - they are looking very good.

    They've got awesome young talent. Jaylen Brown can play! Terry Rozier (spelling) is a good backup point and the rookie Tatum has adapted well to the NBA.

    That Kyrie dude isn't bad either.

    Anyways - I need to get off this thread....Oprah is about to make me seizure
