Early, but there definitely aren't any teams in the East right now that scream "favorites".

Give Doc a flawed team and let him work. Bucks have looked far better than NYK.

Confused why Josh Hart has been scapegoated for a KAT team being bad defensively, and how Clarkson and McBride are the answer…

Ja Morant was a complete no show tonight.

A simple rebound....a one hand 30yard , 20 foot high lob to opposite free throw line mahomey for a effin layup, jokic! Fuggin special play geezus

Portland is going to have to be a team I keep an eye on.

Portland was gifted that win… critical in-bounds pass at the end of the game and THIS was not called a defensive foul but a jump ball?

Bucks beat the Knicks and Warriors only to lose to the Kings. That Turner contract does not look good right now. Not sure if he’s hurt.

Some crap officiating, but still gotta win that one

On a positive note, the Kings may want Kuzma now

As a completely neutral casual observer, the Bucks got jobbed at the end. Both those egregious phantom whistles giving the Kings ft's really make you scratch your head. Then Yannis getting no whistle on that Lavine swipe. Especially after this recent FBI takedown. Like...those calls were that bad.

Wonder what becomes of KPJ when he returns. Seems Rollins wants no part of a bench role.

Not overly worried about the Knicks, as they have this tendency to get off to lethargic starts then finish seasons strong. However, if Hart's finger/back issues continue to linger....

All the preseason favorites are looking bad so far.

Nee willed the troops to their first win. He had enough of the dark cloud hovering. And he did it at the expense of the Steph and Jimmy. He will just build upon this game to solidify his standing in the league.

Rollins is a significantly better player than KPJ imo, and fits the role better with Giannis. Doc apparently vouched for him getting a new contract, and he’s also maybe their best perimeter defender.

I’m more worried about Mike Brown. He does this at every stop. Picks on 1 player and applies uneven standards. In Sacramento he told Keegan Murray he should shoot more, but would bench Kevin Huerter if he ever took a bad shot. He destroyed Huerter’s confidence who later got traded.

Knicks made the ECF last year with the lineup they had. This iteration looks significantly worse. Mike Brown seemingly doing everything he can to lower expectations rather than counting his blessings he inherited a nearly completed project and applying finishing touches.

Mike's the worst. But it's super early in the season and I truly believe in the laws of normalization. They'll get it figured out and most likely finish in the top 3 in the Least before fumbling the bag in the ECF. They're too talented not to.

My apologies to m'Lord Knipple. He is Him/Her/They/Them. Feels like I'm watching gigachad era Hayward before being stripped of his pompadour powers and becoming the washed old head with a goofy mullet.

I ain't goin' out like Jaylen Brown.

Slemby with the Flagg-esque statline - not on my Sunday bingo card.

SA on the verge of receiving their first loss to the...Suns (sans angry catfish and JG) - also not on my Sunday bingo card.

Lot of season left.

He ‘figured it out’ tonight by closing with the lineup Thibs started all of last year. Genuinely hilarious.

You might sneak out with a 4-5 which would be a massive win.

Wemby meeting up with Rozier is all I got. What a stinker
