Guess who’s at the top of the standings in Eastern Conference?Chicago Bulls. Yes those Bulls. are 6-1, had a hella come back win against Sixers last night. No, you’re not back to the 80s-90s with Jordan. If you’ve been in a coma for the last few decades you are forgiven. I have yet to see a game of them so I can’t judge how good they are. They’ve beaten some good teams including Knicks and Magic and Pistons (yes Pistons). It’s early season yet. We don’t know how real they are yet. With Pistons in 3rd in standings in conference, this really seems like time has come full circle.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Nikola Topic has begun chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, general manager Sam Presti told reporters Thursday.
“We don’t benefit from any of the profits or anything like that, but we’ve got to deal with a lot of the extra negativity and scrutiny behind all the gambling stuff. And then on top of that, it creates more integrity issues, etc. So I’m not sure what the answer is going forward, but definitely something that people have got to spend more time having conversations about.”
Yup. I’m just not that excited to watch the games. OKC is the reigning champ. They will likely repeat again with their cadre of young stars. What story is there to watch? Is there a team whose play gives you pleasure or delight? None for me. OKC is SGA Iso heavy. Warriors are good again but it ain’t the splash brothers offense. Lakers have 2 stars and a bunch of hasbeens. I thought Pacers are fun to watch but Tyrese is out the entire year. Celtics are without Tatum. Philly is miserable. Cavs might be contenders but they excite me about as much as a pair of old socks. My own team is crap, not in any position to make noise in a weakened East.
