The Bulls roll into 2017/18 with what is universally recognized as an awful team. Just awful. Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo, and Dwyane Wade depart, with Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, and #7 pick Lauri Markkanen shipped in.
Toronto tallied the same win record as the Cavs last season, and were then swept by LeBron and Co.
If things weren’t bad enough in the Windy City, Nikola Mirotic has two broken bones in his face after being punched by teammate Bobby Portis and is out indefinitely. So yeah.
Raptors to open 2017/18 with a training run against the Bulls at home.

OKC bring in PG13 and Melo to join reigning MVP Russell Westbrook, with Melo unofficially breaking the 100m world record while exiting Madison Square Garden.
New York will look to Porzingis (2016/7 averages of 18.1 ppg & 7.2rpg) to bare the load of a team looking to rebuild over the next 15-20 years. They will also lose the triangle offense.
The Knicks went 0-5 through the preseason, and will begin the new season in similar form.
LA Clippers @ LA Lakers
The Trends –
- Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.
- Over is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings in Los Angeles.

Big Baller Brand debuts in a regular season game, and we still can’t figure out whether we love or hate the antics of Lavar. One thing is for sure though, those shoes are too pricey.
CP3 departs the Clippers who still hold an impressive roster with a front-court trio of Blake Griffin, Danilo Gallinari, and our man, DeAndre Jordan. Lou Williams comes from the Lakers to take the offensive role of Jamal Crawford.
#1 pick Lonzo Ball comes in with a lot of expectation and is currently @4.50 / +350 for Rookie Of The Year behind favourite Ben Simmons @2.80 / +180. We’ll take a little convincing with Lonzo, and there’s no better stage to debut than at Staples against the Clippers.
Clippers too big too strong.
