The home team can wear whatever they want.

I was listening to one of the NBA podcasts and for some reason they briefly stated their early season MVP candidates.

1. Antetokounmpo (determined to be able to spell this without looking it up)
2. Harden
3. Lebron
4. Porzingis

Any others?

Magic is coming back to earth, losing again tonight. I expect them to be mercy ruled on Monday.

Memphis @ Bucks will be a fun game for sure. Cavs right now are so bad, can't rebound worth a shit.

*Eastern Conference All-Star

In all seriousness, he is playing very well this year. Along with Sabonis, making the PG trade look respectable.

EC might not be good but plenty of very good AS worthy type players

He likes Indiana

Pistons 10-3. Might actually be legit, Drummond and Harris look to have absolutely taken the next step. That and the addition of Bradley makes this team pretty damn good defensively, especially with their length

Anybody want to take any bets on who will bounce the pistons out in the first round of the playoffs?
