Season starts tomorrow, my draft is tonight.

This should be an interesting season now that the warriors dynasty is over. Not saying they can't win, but the superteam is gone, so it opens things up.

Unless you're a hornets fan.

Magic season tickets so cheap that I just bought my friend one so I don't have to go to games alone ($1000 for 2 season tickets)

I genuinely don't know how they make money on those tickets. If I get a nosebleed season ticket it's $1700 yet if I get a Fast Break season ticket which is random seat allocation where the worst you can get is the nosebleeds, it's $500 for the season. In the 3 preseason games (lol preseason) I got assigned lower bowl tickets for all 3. In the regular season I'll probably get 60% nosebleeds and 40% lower bowl.

As for actual basketball stuff. Fultz is looking like errr the same player he was in Philly tbh. His shot isn't as bad as it was but his FG% outside drives/layups are awful. Maybe it will come good with time. That being said, he doesn't need to be a good shooter because his playmaking, defense and ability to drive make him at least a rotation player who can provide a spark off the bench. The price we paid for him makes it worth it but I also understand why Philly couldn't keep him in the circumstances.

I'm predicting Jonathan Isaac will be in the running for MIP just because so many people don't realize how good he is already. Might not win it but he will be in the running. He bulked up by 30lbs this offseason. Bamba also bulked up a fuck ton this offseason and should be much improved (shouldn't be difficult, he was awful last season) which might surprise a few people. I'm hoping for Aaron Gordon to break out too.

I'm predicting the Magic to be in the 42-48 win range. Could be higher but it's unlikely we get as clean a slate a health as we did last season where our only major injury was Bamba (who Birch outplayed when he replaced him)

ive got a package of 12 tickets to Hornets games this year. I mostly just picked all of the best opponents because the Hornets are going to be hot garbage this year...

Very excited to see what Steph Curry can do this year with the full green light though

I don't think the Lakers are better than the Clippers and I think there is the high chance for derailment in the event of injuries. Which to be fair is true for most teams but for the Lakers we are talking about players who are either old or have had injury issues in the past and are likely going to have to play a lot more minutes than they would like due to roster composition

If they stay healthy then obviously they are a threat. I just don't know how many minutes Lebron and AD are going to have to play in the regular season to prevent losses. If they were an East team it would be less of an issue but in the West could be a lot trickier given how deep it is and that they will need close to 50 wins

theres a little thing on instagram on Ibaka's cooking show with KD and his trash talk is so good. Like he talks like so like, it doesn't sound like trash talk, it's like he is having a conversation and he is learning english for the first time and the words you are telling him are amazing

NBA height gate.

All Magic fans knew Jonathan Isaac's height was way off. He was listed as 6'10" in shoes because he didn't want to be known as a 7fter (kinda like Durant). His official measurement is in an he's 6'11" without shoes (same height as Vucevic) so he's actually like 7'1"on the court.

For comparison he was listed as the same height as Aaron Gordon (who is actually 6'8")

Nah. Id take any of the following as first time all-stars in the West before Booker: Luka, Mitchell, Gobert. even a wild card like Marvin Bailey could get there before someone like Booker thats a total negative defensively on a team thats at best the 13th best in the West

it's far safer to bet on steph missing time than to bet on him playing 75 games, though. plus the warriors will be awful with steph and/or draymond off the court this year

they'll probably still finish with 45-53 and make the playoffs but it's no sure bet.

Knee surgery for Zion

Out 6-8 weeks

I won't claim that his size was undoubtedly a contributing factor, but I've always thought he's just too heavy for 75-100 NBA games a year. I hope he drops 20 lbs; it'll do good for his longevity.
