It's that time of year again, the NBA is back! The last of the three major sports to kick off in the later months of the year, the NBA is back tonight. Should be a very interesting and fun season upcoming upon us.
The Western Conference looks insanely deep, but the Eastern Conference looks pretty deep as well. There's going to be some teams this year that don't make that playoffs that probably should have because of the amount of good teams there are in the league nowadays.
It's going to be tough to dethrone the Warriors as they only improved in the offseason, but the Western Conference has improved so they may have a bit of a tough time with that this year. Obviously the incorporation of James Wiseman largely increases their chance at back to back titles.
It is definitely going to be a toss up in the East as there is no one team that is largely better than the others. The East has a lot of good and great teams, but there is no one that stands out yet to me as that solidified #1 seed just yet.
Some other big headlines are the guys that have to prove themselves this year such as Ben Simmons and Zion Williamson. Williamson and Simmons both good players who did not play last year have had a lot of offseason media attention all over them whether they will succeed or not this season.
It's an exciting time with the NBA kicking off, NHL ongoing, NFL ongoing, college football ongoing, and college basketball soon to start as well, but the NBA makes it all that much better. Hopefully it is another great, interesting, and exciting season for the fans and the players as the NBA enters its 76th year.
