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 Southwest Division! The Dallas Mavericks have one of the most talented duos in the league in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but will that be enough? And which current NBA player is Luka WORSE than?
Then, it’s time for the Houston Rockets! New coach and a lot of new faces, including one of the league’s most ridiculous players, Dillon Brooks. Can Fred Van Vleet’s veteran leadership win out and help guide the young Rockets like Jalen Green or will they all be trying to fight Shannon Sharpe by the end of the year?
The Memphis Grizzlies had a very eventful season last year. With superstar Ja Morant set to miss the first 25 games, can they stay afloat with Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr.? And whose Defensive Player of the Year trophy is more fraudulent between JJJ and new addition Marcus Smart?
Zion Williamson had an embarrassing offseason. Is that the motivation he needs to have the best season of his career and help the New Orleans Pelicans capitalize on all of their talent? Or will it be more of the same with Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum trying to make it work?
We finish up with the San Antonio Spurs! Gregg Popovich led a successful tank last year to get the best prospect since LeBron James in Victor Wembanyama. How soon will big Vic contribute? And did you know there’s some other talent here as well??? Be on the lookout for the other previews!
