It's been an exciting and unpredictable season so far. My beloved Portland is looking quite good, though I'm not entirely convinced they'll stay among the top 4 in the brutal West. I'm hoping they call take the division, though, and at least have a top 4 seed!

Everything seems so wide open - Cleveland have struggled, you never know whether Rose and Noah will stay healthy enough for Chicago to contend, so Toronto, Atlanta and Washington have emerged as contenders in the East, and injuries to Durant and Westbrook have derailed OKC while the Spurs are basking in the afterglow of a championship but dealing with injuries and a slow start themselves, making way for Golden State, Portland, Memphis, and Houston.

Even the MVP race seems wide open. Who would it be at this point? Stephen Curry? James Harden? Kyle Lowry? Marc Gasol? Damian Lillard or LaMarcus Aldridge? John Wall? Can LeBron turn it around? How about Russell Westbrook or Kevin Durant if they manage a top 4 seed?

Moonbeam, how are ya? So nice to see you posting here.

The NBA champs are coming from the Western Conference again this season IMO, the East ain't ready!

At this point I'd pick Curry as the MVP, let's see if he and his Warriors can keep up this pace all season

Sixers:2015

I'm really impressed with how Atlanta's playing, especially Teague and Korver.

Knicks should stop fucking around and just shut Carmelo down the rest of the season - it's over already.

I like what I'm seeing from the Bucks. They're loaded with young talent, and they play hard. Kidd knew what he was doing.

He doesn't. Dude's EGO is bigger than Mount Rushmore. He thinks he is Kevin Durant.

he must be deep in denial. kd he is not. he was beasty in atlanta, different guy in The D. he'll go down as an above average talent at best

I can't say a word.... I just can't. LAWD I want to... but, GAH! I can't!
