Officially starts tonight

It's gonna be a looooooooooong season for my Knicks, but I'm looking forward to some great games this year.

Golden State vs Toronto Raptors is my Finals prediction, (Golden State getting the 3-Peat)

Knicks on pace to win 82 games and average 126 ppg.

Welcome to the Fizdale era.

I know, right? I was like GOTTDAMN!!!! They must've heard that people said they weren't going to be good, and decided to get rid of all the fucks in game one.... They may be a surprise team, it is just game 1, but still.... GOTTDAMN!!!

36-46 at best
I love the Knicks, lifelong fan..... But with the roster we have, I predicted 25-28 wins for us in this rebuilding year (out future is bright with a talented core of young player, KP coming back at the end of the season, cap space for a Durant chase, and in the mix for Zion Williamson). That said, I can see us playing spoiler for a lot of teams.... And if we win 30 games, I'd call that a successful season

I gambled on Kevin Knox in a fantasy dynasty league. He had a rough first game going 4/16, but he clearly has the red light to shoot. I think the Knicks have no choice but to let him learn on the job.

LeBron will singlehandedly keep them in AND win games for them this year, but I don't think that he'll have the tank for the whole season.... I see the Lakers winning 44-48 games this year, ending up in the 4-7 seed, and maybe making it to the second round of the playoffs, but more likely than not being eliminated in the first round.

Has a Lebron team ever been eliminated in the 1st round?

Great question, not sure.... But look at the top 4 teams in the west, not sure this Lakers team can beat any of them in series.... GS, Houston, New Orleans, Minny, OKC will be ok (rough first outing), and you look at the talent in Denver, Portland, even Phoenix.... It will be a tall task for the Lakers

The Raptors look damn good
Yeah, and Kawhi is still learning he system.
The East isn’t stacked like the West but there are some good exciting teams. Toronto, Boston, Philly, and if Miami ends up getting Butler they’re right in the mix. It will be tough for any of those teams to run in a 7 game series with Golden state, LA, or Houston, but the regular season/east playoffs are going to be great.
