What an odd and tough to pick opening week! My rockets have been abysmal and with how tough the west is, they need to improve fast or they'll be only competing for 5-8th.
Looks like injuries are the he only thing that will stop the Warriors and Cavs getting through to the finals again, Curry is posting near impossible to maintain figures, but he is just in that good touch at he moment.

Could be the last year for he Clippers, Rockets, OKC and Spurs to truly contend as well, their stars are getting older and more expensive, and other than he Clippers, I'd be happy if any of the other teams won it. If I was only new to the NBA the Spurs would be my team (Hakeem the Dream ensured I was a rocket fan since the 91-92 season) but I cannot see how anyone cannot say that the Warriors are not their second or third team, they are just playing entertaining, tough basketball.

Nice to see the Lakers and Brooklyn where they deserve to be as well. I think the Knicks and Jazz might be some dark horses, the Jazz have rebuilt well and the Knicks can only improve.

Let's see if the 8th seed in the East is better than the 12th in the West for the first time in years come finals time.
