Can we just skip to the Finals? Excited for the T-wolves to finally win 41 games.

Cavs and Warriors, Round 4.

But the regular season will be fun to watch anyway. If some things break right then a handful of teams like OKC, Houston and Boston will at least be able to push the favorites and make them work for it. Maybe San Antonio.

Mirotic isnt helping the "soft European" stereotype by letting Bobby Portis cheap shot him and break his face.

Just kidding, but the Bulls are already a joke. Fred must really hate recruiting to deal with that crap.

Portis starting the season off with an interesting strategy to get in the starting lineup.

Who got hurt for Boston?
Gordon Hayward. It was a really, really gross looking injury. Be surprised if we see him on the court again this season. Ankle appeared to be completely spun around.

Not that you ever want this sort of thing, but Nader was already on the opening night active roster even before this. Better than average chance it moves him from bench to rotation or at least spot minutes.

It was too much to ask for Cyclone football and the Cubs to be competitive at the same time. Of course the only other team I really care about (Bulls) would need to be a complete dumpster fire of comical proportions.
