BASKETBALL IS BACK!






The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics with Kyrie Irving in the Season Opener! LeBron James is a game-time decision (ankle).

Then the Golden State Warriors get their rings tonight to face the Houston Rockets with Chris Paul!

Predictions? Both for tonight's games and the rest of the 2017-2018 regular season?

It's a Ball night!

Lebron's gonna play

[Jabare]

OMG I feel so bad for Gordon Hayward.


I don't know if I can watch the rest of this game


praying for him.

That was gruesome

[Hiromi]

That’s something no one wants to see and it happening in the season opener is just awful

I'm not a doctor, I don't even play one on TV, but I'd be shocked if that injury didn't end Hayward's season. Most unfortunate.

That sucks so bad. Initial reports are fractured ankle. I was hoping for maybe just a bad dislocation.

[Hiromi]

bad dislocation of a joint like an ankle is usually part of a fracture as it was in this case, one thing to be scared of is the possibility that it ruptured his Achilles tendon, as a dislocated ankle can take it with it sometimes, hopefully the X Rays won't reveal anything additional to the already more than likely season ending injury

My Predictions on who will make playoff & their seeding.. Probably will adjust my some of predictions by the allstar break..

Wizard or Bucks
Cavs
Bucks or Wizard
Raptors
Boston
76ers
Heat
Hornets or Hawks

GSW
OKC
Rockets
SAS
T-Wolves
T-Blazers
Grizzlies
Pelicans

[Hiromi]

The Cavs that played tonight looked much more impressive than the team from opening night

Once Lue gets a set rotation down this team is going to be the best iteration yet even minus Kyrie, because the depth is ridiculous

Lonzo Ball, and Brandon Ingram actually balled out last night, sure it was against the Suns, but you know small steps.

Very true, long-term I'm more concerned about imgram then Ball.. sometimes it seems like he can't shoot or score at all when defend.

Also Lakers need to change their starting line up to this imo asap :

Ball
Clarkson
Ingram
Randle
Lopez

Boogie and the brow are very fun to watch, playing 2 & half on vs 5 will not work out well long term. Their SG & SF range from God awful to average imo and holiday is average at Best in my opinion as well.. Someone from the Pelicans organization need to go overseas or go to the G-League or Big3 or some where & find them some help.. Vince Carter right now it's probably better than any of their current SG or SF. Trade for him lol.

I'm confident Nate Robinson, Steven Jackson, Paul Pierce, Monta Ellis, Matt Banes, Barbosa, Boris Diaw, Gerald Green, Brandon Jennings, Rodney Stuckey, Derrick Williams, the Ghost of Mike Miller & the Ghost of Deron Williams are better than most of the Pelicans roster.

The Clippers just put 130 on the Suns, I think Phoenix is just that bad, they have yet to hold a team under 124 points, and two of their three losses have been by 40+
