Here's my preview article for anyone that may be interested: http://baltimorespor...2017-18-season/

 

It features the following 7 questions:

 

- How will stars fit on their new teams?

- Will anyone challenge the Cavs in the East?

- Who will be the second best team out West?

- Who will win the MVP award?

- Will anyone establish themselves as a likely heir apparent to the Warriors?

- Can anyone actually beat the Warriors?

- Considering the answer to the previous question, should anyone care about the NBA this season?

So... a 1/4 of the way into the season, what thoughts do you guys have on what we've seen so far?

Well my MVP pick is a disaster because he hasn't even played yet! Obviously if I knew that he was going to miss so much time I wouldn't have picked him.

EAST:

Boston at 21-4, without Hayward is impressive.  The younger guys have had a chance to step-up.

Cleveland has won 12 in a row...  Thomas looks like he is on the verge of getting back. His defense of course isn't good, but will give them additional scoring punch.

Philly is fun to watch... maybe moreso if Fultz (about to be back) is ready to produce.

Giannis has taken another step. What a monster.

Toronto and Detroit playing pretty well...

Indiana exceeding expectations... I kind of liked Oladipo and Sabonis as the return, but every article at that time said that opinion was dumb... and I thought I was missing something.

Think Washington is in good shape overall as long as Wall gets back soon. Porter now over 15ppg, and 7 boards... shooting 47% from 3.

WEST:
 

Houston streaking, Harding having another big year.  CP3 now back.

Golden State still looks basically unbeatable.  Is it possible to play .760 ball, and be bored doing so? They are just waiting for the post-season.

As Mike said... no Leonard yet for SA, and they are still 16-8. Murray seems to be pretty solid.  Gay is a good scoring option off the bench.

 

Baltimore's Will Barton getting buckets for Denver off the bench. Nuggets have to deal with Millsap being out 3 months.

I haven't seen Minnesota play this year... lineup wise, I imagine they are fun to watch. Are they ready to step-up their play?

Rubio is doing well with the Jazz... Gobert finally getting back after missing 11 games.

Cousins and Davis is an awesome duo, but that's an ugly looking lineup imo.

The Thunder have won 3 in a row, to get within a game of .500... have they started to figure things out?
