The 2023-24 NBA season is upon us, but how can we possibly know what’s going to happen? Real hoopers know there’s one surefire way to tell the contenders from the pretenders, and that’s the eye test! So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Northwest Division! The Denver Nuggets are your reigning NBA champs, but repeating is tough. Do they have what it takes? Or will Nikola Jokic shift his focus to his prized horses and the Kentucky Derby?
Then, it’s time for the Minnesota Timberwolves! Anthony Edwards looked like a future superstar during this summer’s FIBA World Cup. Is he ready to take the proverbial leap? And is Karl Anthony-Towns going to be cool with it? Also, I tell you which T’Wolves player SHOULD be taking performance-enhancing drugs!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder were one of the most talented young teams in the league last season. Can they take the next step and become a playoff team? Who is REALLY their second-best player? And what should we expect from Chet Holmgren this season?
The Portland Trail Blazers had a showdown with a franchise player and lived to tell the tale! But do they have the right pieces in place for a rebuild? Also, why I’m excited about Scoot Henderson’s comps! Plus, how many people have referred to Deandre Ayton as “Domin-ayton.”
We finish up with the Utah Jazz. What’s the deal with hiking? Does Jordan Clarkson do it? I also tell you about some Nordic NBA history AND continue several beefs I’ve had for years now! Be on the lookout for the other previews!
