I have watched Spurs as my favorite team and I can say that we are probably missing playoffs once again unless something major changes. I mean they are really bad on defense, especially when teams that are much faster and younger plays a very fast basketball they are usually very late to transition defense and also switching, they are playing this slow motion basketball which was amazing back in the day on offense but on defense it wasn't a problem since teams weren't this quick and wasn't playing motion this much.

However bigger problem is offense again, I have seen this team play the same offense for years now, and it just doesn't work, the beautiful game worked because it was mainly passing from one player to another, now we have some stars and we are playing a bit of ISO game and that is not working at all, we need some team work and less cutting inside.

LA Lakers is favorite again this season.

Bucks, Clippers, Nets, Heat are other teams in Top 5 power ranking.

That's what I am saying also Ball isn't really known for his defense but for his playmaking ability which the highlight reels is trying to show but the truth is it is really not polish and aside from that you'll see that in his highlights that his defenders are not really that competitive as compared to the NBA. You can see it in his first preseason game as well he got 0 points and only 4 assist which I think is awful for a preseason game and for a 3rd overall pick.

I believe even if Leonard did not transfer, Raptors will still not be the top favorites to win an NBA championship, Raptors is an underrated team so I doubt they'll be in the top. Just like the Cavaliers, when they won a championship before, the next season they were still not the favorites, but the warriors.



If the warriors are still intact, meaning Durant did not leave, I believe they would still be the favorites.

Contributed 10 rebounds too.
It's not that bad considering it's just a preseason game.
We cannot evaluate it fully yet. Let's see what will happen in the future.
Maybe we are looking at a new Jason Kidd in his prime. More on assists and rebounds instead of points. 

The first points of Nets came from a dunk. Who? Freaking Durant.
Damn, did he even went thru an injury. 
Brooklyn Nets looks scary.

I understand that, it's just difficult for the Warriors to win in the NBA Finals now they lose two of their superstars, namely KT and KD, both of them are good shooters, and curry alone can't take the load himself, he needs some help from his young players and this season is a season where we are going to find out if the GSW are still the same team we admired.

These brothers rea really good, they are well trained by their father who instill to his kids to consider basketball as their passion. Lamelo is good too, he will be more develop in the NBA but it's too early to judge, we will certainly see him producing big numbers once the season will start.

All I wish is a good luck to them, hopefully soon Liangelo will be able to play in the NBA.

I didn't know that Liangelo signed contract with Detroit, thanks for this information.
Really Liangelo is unfortunately not at an acceptable level to be able to play in the NBA, in my opinion he needs to improve a bit to be able to enter the league.

Lamelo, in my opinion, is fit and has everything to be the best of the brothers.
But it's too soon, we will see how it will develop during the season.

Not checking yet the details about that but it's that the same on Tacko Fall's contract?

Well, if that what happened, the other Ball brother should not rush things.

There are still lots of room for improvement. Lots of chances for him to be drafted.

Yes, really, well mined, I hadn't even thought about it before.
It's a shame if it really happened
As I said earlier I think Lamelo will be the best of the three,he grewup and a lot, good shoot (he can improve), and he got a good layups
