We've done it. We've arrived. We survived.
2017-18 brings unprecedented and unparalleled feeling. This is the first season of contemporary times that we are without future Hall of Famer and arguably the second best shooting guard/small forward of all time. Kobe Bryant. Some have the privilege of being so young so as to never witness a season without the famous 8/24. This will be a new experience for you, enjoy it, embrace it, own it.
Here's his final game to get you into the sultry mood.
So a new era begins. The torch has been passed on.
Has there been an off season that has brought so much eyebrow raises and exasperated gasps? In a nutshell, here are some of the more notable moves:
George
Melo
I.T
Kyrie
Butler
Gibson
Teague
Bogut
Howard
Swaggy P
Rondo
a Moute
Paul
Baynes
CJ Miles
Crowder
Jamal Crawford
Tim Hardaway Jr (hahahahhahahahahaha)
Carter
Gay
Hayward
Olynyk
Millsap
Galo
ZBo
Hill
Zhou Qi
Rubio
Wade
We finally get a glimpse of Benjamin Simmons. But the Gods are displeased and have taken Dante Exum from us.
So here we are. Two massive grudge matches to open the season
Cavs @ Celtics
You thought KD vs OKC was big? This one dwarfs it Bigfooty style. IT, the heart of soul of the Celtics according to some was packaged and sent to Eastern rivals Lebrons. IT unfortunately is injured and will not take on his old team. Going to the Celts is former number 1 pick Kyrie Irving. He is Aussie when he's awesome. If the Cs win the East this year, Ainge will look like a genius! Joining him is Gordy Hayward and Aaron Baynes (Aussie), both as Celtic as can be. Horford, J Brown and Marcus "no extension for you" Smart represent the old guard.
The Cavs have taken a leaf out of 2017 AFL Premiers Richmond Tigers FC and will go small ball. Love slides into the middle with Lebron and Crowder beasting down low. Former MVP Rose opens the season at 1 guard with D Wade filling the other G spot. For those playing at home
F: Lebron (pic 1)
F: Crowder (34 by the cavs!)
C: Love (5)
G: Rose (1)
G: Wade (5)
First time that a starting five has featured two no 1 picks and 2 number 5 picks.
Warriors @ Rockets
Super teams don't just exist in the East. Harden will be sharing the rock with CP3 in a fearsome backcourt designed to destroy the world ofmen warriors. Capella will sing a tune with CP3 distributing, and Anderson should make it rain.
Rain you say? Curry, Klay, KD, Swaggy P. Damn, good luck stopping them.
Enjoy opening day responsibly.
