And also, with all the talk about this finally being the year where the "good young teams" make some noise, the Sixers are currently 1-4, the "dark horse" Denver Nuggets are 1-3, and the T-Wolves look just as dysfunctional as last season.
refs also had a hand in that loss. the lane violation during beals free throw and the blown call against wall's drive both really impacted the outcome of the game. but at least the refs won it for the lakers against another team instead of us so whatever.
I thought this was his first time in a long time, coming to Sacramento on his own terms....then I remembered our game is on TNT tonight. No matter what, it's really cool to see him come and visit the kids even if 99.9% of them don't know they're getting to meet a legend.
Bucks are currently experiencing the same problem that teams with only one good player inevitably have: how do you score when you've fallen behind, and everybody in the building knows that the ball's going to one guy in particular?
Magic taking the Spurs to the woodshed. They've beaten Cleveland and San Antonio so far in the early season, very impressive. Gordon looks really good too. His jumpshot has come a ways.

Last year people were calling me ridiculous for thinking Fournier could be a max level player. I wanted to bring him in next to Cousins. Last year he put up 17pts 3asts 3rebs on 43.9/35.6/80.5
In 5 games this year, he's averaging 22.2pts 3.6asts 4.8rebs on 54/56/98 while Orlando is 4-1.
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green were ejected from Friday night's game at Oracle Arena after they sparked a brawl late in the first half.
Chandler Parsons for the first time in two seasons looked like himself for one game with an absolute eruption with the Grizz beating down Houston despite poor games from Conley/Gasol.
Is there anyone in the NBA that plays harder than Donovan Mitchell? He had one of the best putbacks you will see and a solid all around game. The guy can be a mixed bag at times with some questionable decisions but the rookie is a true joy to watch with his combo of hustle/athletic ability once the game slows down a bit for him he's going to be dynamite great get by the Jazz.
the mighty Warriors fall to the Pistons on their own home court? color me surprised!
Early in the season there has been lots of surprises, everyone looks beatable in some way and that's to be expected I suppose because all the roster changes in the off season and the shortened preseason/training camp.
The thing that's really odd about the Warriors is that they are the only contender that didn't undergo any significant roster changes over the offseason.
It feels like players suddenly forget how to play basketball as soon as they're on the Cavs. Kevin Love can't keep getting a pass right? People tried to say Cousins was a player putting up stats on a bad team...... No, that's Kevin Love.
Jae Crowder hasn't looked very good. I guess they'll be much better when IT comes back, but they better pray that Brooklyn is terrible this year.
