Surprised to see GS lose their first game at home with Durant vs. the Spurs (without Duncan) by 30 pts! They lost again yesterday... Surprised the Bulls have been playing well, as well as the Thunder, who were perfect until they paid a visit to an old teammate.. Can't believe Dallas and NO haven't won.

On TNT, I've really loved the KG-Sheed side-show. Very funny and honest, and full of technical fouls and trash talk, which is perfect with the funny crew - Barkley, Shaq, Kenny and Ernie.

I should have made this post earlier to let everyone know NBA League Pass had a free trial, didn't know it would only last a week.

Definitely want to see the Warriors fail this year. Durant's move made them the #1 target. Besides that, I'm of course rooting for the Raptors. I think we'll win our division and be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.

I wanted Cleveland to win because I didn't want GS to win, but now that the Cavs are winners, I don't wanna root for them again, and my Pistons are good, but not great. I'd love for the Spurs to make it to the Finals, I don't know if they can hold up that long. I think the Clippers need to advance - it's now or never.

I've been hoping the Raptors would get a great rookie, a superstar of some sorts to ensure the Raptors will never fly away like Vancouver did. You guys lost Biyombo, and replaced him with Sullinger, who I think is a step down. Was that the only move this off-season?

The Raptors aren't leaving Toronto. In fact, it's probably one of the franchises where relocation isn't even a possibility.

Sullinger is our only acquisition other than our draft class.

I hope not. They said the same thing about Seattle. When a team gets sold, every new owner promises not to move it, but it happens. I know the NBA probably wouldn't like it since they are trying to expand the game globally, it's a great city, and it's only an hour plane ride from Detroit.

My team! The Pistons. The underdogs.
Watch them come out strong well into the playoffs this season and shock the world!
Here we come!
Deeeeee-troit Basketball!!!!

I've been a Pistons fan since I was 6, (87-88 season when we had the championship stolen)..

I'm not a big Reggie Jackson fan, but if we're better with him, great, though it's nice to finally have a natural point guard with Ish Smith. Jose Calderon was the last guy, and he was only there for a few months.
