So Klay and the Warriors are done. Mavs are probably the ideal fit for him at this stage of his career as he can take pressure off Luka and Kyrie without having to force.

I know some people are high on Klay joining the Mavs but I think he is done and really doesn't do much to put the Mavericks over the top. If you would have put him on the Mavericks this year they still don't beat the Celtics.

Fall season is here, so hoops aren't far away. Preseason starts October 4.

I can't wait for the NBA to begin!

Regular season starts tomorrow! Just two games, but should be interesting to see how the Knicks and Timberwolves start off after the blockbuster KAT trade.

I stayed up last night and watched the Lakers game, it was pretty good. The father-son moment was really cool to see live, Bronny is way out of his league on the court through. It was pretty awesome that the Griffeys were there too. The game was close but the Timerberwolves never really caught up. The Lakers would not have won without Anthony Davis, he's a workhorse.

LA is definitely a different team with a healthy AD.

I wonder about that Knicks and Timberwolves trade. It will obviously take awhile for those teams to adjust, but I wonder if it will really benefit either in the long run.

I'm really happy with how the Thunder and Cavaliers have started the season. Chet had a big game in the opening night win over the Nuggets. As for the Cavs, they're 2-0 and already beat old coach JBB last night when they played the Pistons. I like how Kenny Atkinson is incorporating the role players early rather than waiting for injuries like JBB did. Their offense also looks much better -- a lot more motion.
