That's true, we cannot expect that we will see the same Murray once he comes back as he might have healed his physical injury but mentally there's still some fear of getting reinjured and he might not be as aggressive as he was before.

Let's hope he will recover soon, but as per report, he is still listed as "out indefinitely."

The Bulls are raging like literally right now at the start of the season. They are now 6-1 and the top 1 overall.
The Celtics on the other hand though choked. They did the same as what Lakers did against OKC. The Celtics lead 17 at one point and only scored 11 points in 4th quarter. 11 points in 4th quarter only :X.

This Chicago Bulls is different right now. If last season the Phoenix Suns improved so much, now the Bulls are the one who improved heavily. The chemistry is there, lots of passers, they have shooters on perimeter and on three point line. If you will see on their roster, they aren't as strong as the ones who has superstars like now like the Lakers or Warriors but their chemistry is what is making this team at the top right now. I just hope that they can continue this kind of gameplay all throughout the season. I'm pretty sure that they will be in the playoffs.

LeBron tweeting that he's looking forward to playing the Rockets again tomorrow night.  Sort of strange for him to tweet about looking forward to a regular season game.  Especially one against what is very possibly the worst team in the league.  That makes me think he's got a little something planned.  There would be no better team to try and put up a monster game or maybe pull of some sort of shenanigans with Melo.  That or maybe he's just excited that everyone is talking about his reverse dunk from the other night so he's anxious to get out there and do something better.  We'll see...  I may have to throw a couple bucks on the Lakers just because.

Nuggets certainly missed him already, they have some struggle now losing with huge points against a team that is not even a championship caliber. Jokic will remain the main man of the team but we know they are lacking without someone that could consistentyl provide some support to him.

Are there any timeline for a Kawhi Leonard return though?

No timetable yet, but it's safe to assume that he won't be available this season as he underwent surgery that would require him to rest and do some rehabilitation to regain his strength. Besides, the Clippers are not rushing things, they cannot risk their main star health and get him reinjured again

Are there any timeline for a Kawhi Leonard return though? Maybe they are just stretching this season and hopefully Paul George can carry the load until Kawhi returns to the team. They barely escape OKC last night, just a 5 point lead when the opening line for them is -10.5 if I"m not mistaken. And it's good that George is playing very well, but I have to agree that someone needs to help him out. They have to comeback from the brink of a lost against OKC.

People underrate OKC way too much.

SGA and Giddey are the real deals. I don't think that people appreciate them enough and they are definitely not the worst team in the league by any means.

I think that Clippers will have a rough season without Kawhi for sure. But at the end of the day, this will let Terance Mann, Jason Preston, Brandon Boston etc. grow into their roles when he does return.
