If that's going to be his range, he's going to change the defense of every team that plays him.

Look at those big 4/5 lumbering players trying to guard him out there. Teams will switch their longest athletic wing to guard him rather than their best post defender/rebounder getting pulled out that far.

When the Lakers were losing, there were quite a few comments about them, yet here they are at 9-4, winners of 5 straight, and nothing. LeBron had 4 straight triple doubles, and just hit a clutch 3 to close the game against the Pels. JJ is looking very competent so far in his coaching career.

Lebron, while certainly not in his prime, is absolutely still a top 10 player in this league, which is a wild statement to even be making.

Cavs, 15-0, and did so without Mitchell last night. Niang playing a great role for them which is so awesome to see.

Who wins it all this year? Celtics seem like the best choice but it’s hard to tell this year.

Celtics and OKC feel like the teams to beat so far.

Going into the year I liked the Mavs roster but 5 of their last 6 games have been decided by 3 pts or less and they've only won 1.
They need to close out.

Mavs won’t do **** as long as Luka continues to be ass at defense. He has gotten even worse, and it’s flat out lazy basketball. He has gotten to the point that he complains about everything, all game long. He is a crazy good offensive player but punts it on defense. That won’t fly in the playoffs.

Celtics are the team to beat, and I agree that OKC looks the part in the west. I wouldn’t count out a GSW team this year either. Cavs, while undefeated, just don’t scream championship contender.

I do love seeing the sixers sucks. Went and got a washed up Paul George to play alongside an always hurt and won’t play two games in a row Embiid. What a great strategy! McCain is fun to watch and might be ROY right now, though.

Good callout, cup play too so maybe it helps simulate a playoff type atmosphere.

This is hilarious that Kenny can walk into the game footage at the same scale as the players.

I'm not sure there's any reason for it, but it's funny.

Georges with a hell of a cut for a reverse layup.

Fun game!
