NBA Thesis: Strawberry Letter 1 1st Edition.
Welcome back to the Luv us hoop consumers know well
Summers up
Fallback into that imprint on ya couch
Get ya League Pass paid up
New SZN is upon us
So what's new?
So many whirlwinds ahead of October 19th
I find myself on the fence
The jump still live at tipoff
But the tempo of the field seems quaint
What to think?
As a consumer of the Art tryna block out the TV block filler
Like the summary can't be quicker
I got you!
Repeat with me-
Ben Simmons is a Laker mentally
Kyrie fighting the good fight
Bradley Beal prioritizes family first and its commendable so quit pocket watching
Zach Lavine got a squad and hired the mob
Bag sealed
And though you probably don't want to Zion and Knicks at nausea is something you will probably hear
Luka for MVP
Bron in Year19
Kevin Durant still him til this day
Kawhi and Klay soon to play someday
But aye
One thing about it- A dawn for the tide has arrived and the Year of the Next Gen inheriting the Association’s throne begins so let's talk about it.
New Era
Luka Doncic- Best player in the Association quest. How much longer til the collective says yes? An MVP push and playoff success may just do it.
Jayson Tatum- The baby Kob of my enemy who learned from my G.O.A.T. is my friend. And that’s just how it goes for a Laker lifer. Tatum is special. Beantown should cherish the spawn of Bean as he looks to break through the glass ceiling.
Devin Booker- Nobody light-skinned did hooping harder since, well, Dell son. Devin the Dude Phx Edition will be tapping into that high ceiling of his this SZN. 30ppg? F your advanced stats Dude a killa. Score at will and win. World is Yours.
Trae Young- He got Game. We know. MSG up on the 25th. Trae's ability to control a game is the floor general presence he should be looking to stamp this SZN. In the meantime, one request: take Cam's game to the next level. #Keys
Spida Mitchell- Best nickname ever? Magic aside, making music on the plains and mountains of Utah in spider shoes must be nice. Playoff Spida has a greatest hits vinyl already in the making. Taking that next leap this SZN? Turn that up.
Ja Morant- Ja gave this generation their Iverson. And Memphis couldn't be a better environment to embrace and champion a career that could very well be remembered as a cult classic urban crossover à la the one and only A.I. himself.
(Sidebar: Is this the year Ja finally completes the audacity and dunks some poor Big into the rim of the abyss? Jah might Vince Carter something this SZN.)
LaMelo Ball- League Pass Special. I told my Uncle Fred Golden St. should've picked this guy up #2, respectfully. His ability to use both hands and take better angles where he finishes will be next. As well as his ability to put Bigs in a blender out in space. His highlight reel athletic teammates will have the city buzzing. Now on any given night I'll be watching Charlotte all 82. Juice
Kevin Porter Jr.- The shrewd move of Houston's front office to recognize the legacy of it's best guard of all-time as a now embedded culture and not a stain isn't spoken enough about. Soon though. In the meantime, 6'5 on-ball lefty with a silky pat on his handle and a developing step back. Where have I seen this movie?
Michael Porter Jr.- Respect to the journey. And the bold confidence of this man’s shot-selection. Twitter love telling somebody what to do but you just keep doing you Chief. 22 a night on splits like- 47/38/82? Denver found a gem. Or a nugget.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander- Man these lost file developmental SZNs of Shai excellence we will look back on when the Thunder up again will be quite telling. Is Shai developing into the most complete all-around-game young guard the Association offers, respectfully? Well, if he's in the trenches with Lu Dort this year look out, it may not be so far-fetched.
Most Honorable Mention:
Anthony Marshon Davis- Papa's got a brand new bag. Standing tall and talented in the paint more. Ideally. Fitness goals aside AD will 2-way patrol the paint.
Conference Outlook
West:
360°Lakers- Why not? Look alive when the show in town. Plus, how many upside down frowns turn just frowns when people that love to clown see how seamless a push pace guard who alleviates heavy usage from Bron looks lighting a fire under AD to own the middle of the floor both in sets and in transition? And they winning. Boom.
The Field- Warzone per usual. No nights off when the Kings want to win. The T'Wolves need to. Jokic can destroy things. Luka on a rampage. Dame tryna eat too. New Orleans on the hot seat. Houston still a vibe. And the Phoenix Suns Utah Jazz win alot of games. Steph like- f it, the rim down there somewhere and Poppovich might wanna Pop-a-b#$& if the Spurs don't compete. I joke, but you know who don't? Sam Presti with them picks. But they won't test the Lottery Odds Gods again. I think. And oh yeah, the Clippers.
East:
Brooklyn Nets- The birthplace of Hov so you know Champions can be raised there. Shameless homage. Nets will be popping in Barclays all SZN. Painfully obvious for anyone not a fan- them Brothers good. I wish I would pretend they’re not is probably the approach of most fanbases. Give it up. Standing O's of recognition once clocks stop ticking on a random Thursday and we got to see a masterpiece displayed. And like most of those, you look & wonder initially what is this? How does KD have 30 on 10 shots, Harden got 18 assists, Kyrie got 35 all left-hand and they win by about 20, give or take. Well, it is what it is my friend. The Black Album Nets. Lots of hits few misses. What more can I say.
The Field- Philly in a nightmare. Miami looking for a fight. The Champs have the ultimate equalizer. The Boston Celtics got firepower on the wing. Don't get airfryed trying to jump with Jaylen. TwoCent*
…The Bulls delivered on Zach's request. The Knicks are no longer the media's favorite mess. The Hawks 10 deep on any block and every game they go in now they should feel like they can win. Score champ Beal still lurking, and just a playoff spot is a small goal; aim higher. Indiana might just compete. Or shake it up. We'll see. Toronto got Scottie Barnes so they already won. Back home this SZN so everything else gravy. And the Detroit Pistons like the Army better yet the Navy. Sink or swim. Cleveland might surprise and Orlando came for the vibes. And that's the East so to speak. Should be a competitive race 3-12th.
= All in All the game is still the game. NBA SZN Pull Up. I'm here for the long haul. Watching. Enjoying the Art. I expect fireworks. How about you?
That's my time Hoop Family!
Peace
