    Lakers look legit.

    What a difference a culture change can make. This is basically the same roster, but subbing out Taurean Prince for Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish for Gabe Vincent (injured last year).

    Knecht is looking like an incredible steal for them, though.

    Lats year they would have been at least 1-2, if not 0-3 at this point. They are executing, playing as if they want to be there, and making adjustments in-game, as well as taking punches and not lying down on the mat.

    It's a small sample size and injuries could do them in. That said, watching the three games, the team looks very different than at any time last year, even during the run they made after inserting Rui into the starting lineup. The team is running plays, playing with fire, and the coaching staff is making adjustments in game.

    They sill have a wing defensive specialist coming back, and Knecht is already the most important player off the bench. Teams are tracking him/not leaving him. And I foresee big improvements this season for him.

    It could all come crashing down. And injuries could be a huge issue. But there is a noticeable difference in the team in all sorts of ways. Not to mention that, if this continues, it makes it so the front office is more likely to go all in and use their first round picks to get a key piece, if available.

    Barring injury, the Celtics are going to repeat this year.

    There’s absolutely no basis to say the Celtics are repeating after a few games. Silly.

    One reason I am bullish on the Lakers, even just 4 games in, is that if you go back to Darvin Ham finally starting the Lakers best lineup, putting Rui in for Taurean Prince, the Lakers went 22-10 to finish the season. Since they've kept the same lineup, that's 25-11 going back to last season, which is, essentially, the same team. That's a 57-win pace, which is where the 1 and 2 teams in the west finished last year.

    Except now, despite Lebron being ill and having an uncharacteristically bad night, the bench being worse than normal on the road (8 points on 3-10 shooting), it was a 1 possession game on the road against a team that finished ahead of them last year. And they actually looked their most dominant in this game, up 26-8 to start the game.

    Not necessarily deluded as far as a title this year. It's way too early to think about that but instead of thinking play-in, I am thinking home court in the first round.

    Lonzo Ball already hurt. Sprained wrist.

    Is his dad as loud in Chicago as he was in LA or has he finally shut the fuck up?
