What to Watch for This NBA Season

The NBA season is still more than a month away but I’m getting sick of waiting. Here’s a quick list of what I can’t wait to see this NBA season.

1. How will Kobe look this year? At the age of 36 father time is catching up to the Black mamba so how effective will he be. You also have to factor in that nasty injury he’s coming back from.

2. I want to see this years rookie class. This years class was deep with talent Shabazz Napier, Julius Randle, Wiggins, Parker this list can go on for awhile.

3. Will the Spurs be able to step up and defend that championship? Every year we always say that the spurs are too old, but somehow someway that continue to shock the world every season.

4. How bad are the Pacers going to be this season? The Pacers lost the only man who can generate his own offense. This team relies on Paul George heavily and without him I can’t imagine them even getting 30 wins.

5. Will the Thunder FINALLY get back to the finals? The Thunder have been dominant throughout the season, but they can’t make it out of the west. The last time OKC were in the finals was in 2011 hopefully they can make a comeback.

6. Same old Knicks just a different day. Besides adding Phil Jackson in the front office and Derek Fisher as the coach nothing much has changed in the Big Apple. The goal is to get Melo a ring. Will it happen this year? Probably not but still fun to watch.

7. It’s still a shock when you think about it. Lebron isn’t in Miami anymore. As a result Miami snatched up Granger, Deng, and McRoberts. Then they made Bosh the go to guy. I am dying to see how this plays out.

Last but not least…

8. Lebron is back in Cleveland. He arguably has a better team than he did in Miami with Love and Kyrie. The media has definitely built up this team and I am itching to see Lebron take the court with his new squad.
