NBA 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

Well if ESPN is par for the course, the talking-heads will now have the Knicks as the third best team in the East in their Power Rankings. And the joke that is "unbiased" sports analysis will continue.

Like I said earlier, the Cavs looked sloppy last night. They earned the loss. It's almost as if they have a bunch of guys on the team that haven't ever played with each other before. But with this much talent, things will get better as the team begins to mesh. We start off with a tough road trip so, hopefully, this will be our crucible.

Mavs score 69 in the first half before stepping off Jazz's throat - Mavs offense so legit and bench is deep.

Thunder can't catch a break. We eagerly await KD's return home.

There's a joke here but I am forever bound to take it easy on the Mavs because of 2011. FML.

Let the Perry Jones era begin!!

I love the videos the Mavs produce for the arena goers:

Kirk fucking Hinrich.

Cavs 0-2.. /snicker

Fucking Bulls they are almost like the Bears in that they choke at the most opportune times.

Cavs in OT. Suck it bitches!

It'll make for a good ECF at least. They are pretty evenly matched it seems but it's still early in the season so it's hard to draw conclusions.

Trusting D Rose to stay healthy is like trusting Cutler to not be shitty

Good game. Bulls shit the bed but was a fun one to watch.

Cavs defense is a clown show right now, but it would feel obnoxious to complain too much considering... Fun game to watch, really hope D Rose stays healthy all year, the guy is a beast and the NBA is more fun when he's around.

Last night was a much better showing for the Cavs and it was a really fun game to watch. Despite "the shot," the Bulls are my second favorite team in the East. I like their methods and how they went about their own rebuild and if Rose manages to stay healthy, they've got a pretty solid team this year.

The Cavs biggest problem this year is that every team facing them will be going in with an attitude that they have something to prove. You won't see too many games mailed in and not too many teams are going simply roll over and die. That's how it was pre-Decision and the same against the Heat after the Decision. But it should make for some really good basketball this season. Especially for us Clevelanders where Cavs Basketball has been simply unwatchable for the past few.

I hate the delusion that people have where every team half asses it every night, except when they play Lebron because then it's serious.

Wait, is PJ3 actually a good player? Where did this come from?
