Feel like this is a better way for bebops stacks to work. Don’t lose them on death but you only get them if you damage a hero that dies. No more just spamming them on minions.

I played a lot of McGuiness before I played ranked, after that the way I pay her doesn’t mesh with the meta so I switched but it was a lot of fun before then for sure. Will have to try calico in the test mode!

Picked him up in all my fantasy teams (auction drafts) knowing he’d get slept on.

Nuggets gotta be better, I know it’s going to take some time for the young guys and Westbrook to fit where they need to but if this doesn’t get better by the trade deadline they really should make a trade. Murray (decent tonight to be fair) and MPJ have been way too streaky for max players and it’s going to depend on who they can get but one of them may have to go if they can’t figure it out.

Technically they only have 1 pick but if they renounce the protections on 1 or 2 it opens up a few others and they gotta maximize the team while Jokic is in his prime.

Yeah Murray has me concerned. The Nuggets have no depth at all so if their core 4 aren’t playing at their peak they don’t have a shot.

They have picks they could package in a trade but you’d have to part with either Murray or MPJ. I don’t think the Nuggets do that this season so they’re going to hope Murray stays healthy and figures his stuff out and the young guys improve enough. Definitely a lot of ifs this year for them.

Glad they’re pushing urn as a comeback mechanic even more with the slightly easier deposit point.

Also changing the comeback benefit to only kicking in at a 8% soul gap makes sense, was kind of dumb that having a 1k difference had them kick in lol.

Lot of other changes too, haven’t had a chance to read them all.

Yeah I cringed typing it but it was shorter than “In Season Tournament”.

Some are pretty nice but the top left one (think it’s the pelicans) is terrible with that green.

Wish the bucks wouldn’t go with blue, don’t like their blue jerseys either.

This years designs are below organized by the groups, what does everyone think?

Link since the pic with all of them isn’t the easiest to see some of them.

Here are mine, reaching on them a bit for sure but not taking this too seriously.

  • Ben Simmons has a pretty good season and plays at least 60 games. Not a big fan of his but it’s a contract year lol if it’s going to happen it’s gonna be this year.

  • Celtics don’t make it past the conference finals. This one is hot especially after the opening night game but think their front court is weak and they got a bit lucky last year with the injuries in the East. Probably the one I’m at most risk of looking stupid on though.

  • OKC doesn’t make it to the conference finals. I’ve seen some taking them to win the west or at least get there but I think they still have some growing pains in the playoffs this year and go out in the 2nd round. The future is incredibly bright for them though, think they are perennial contenders in the west after this year.

 

With the season just starting thought it would be fun to post some predictions for the season for us to look back on at the end and see how they turned out.

Who’s going to have a breakout year?

Dark horse candidates for awards?

Surprises and upsets for the playoffs?

Anything else you want to throw out there is fine too!

Nike is re-upping its partnership with the NBA & WNBA as their official global outfitter for an additional 12 years

I agree, Middleton looked good last playoffs too which made it hurt more that Giannis wasn’t healthy.

They haven’t had everyone healthy for playoffs since the year they won. They took Boston to game 7 without Middleton the year after and then Giannis has been out the last 2 years. If everything can click I actually think they’re right there with Boston but that is a big if it seems.

 

ESPN's David Purdum reported Friday that FanDuel and DraftKings are among the sportsbooks that will no longer offer "under" prop bets for those NBA players who are in the league on two-way or 10-day contracts.

 

Not really surprising but unfortunate.

I’ve had only good experiences in my handful of matches. People communicating, not being toxic, etc. the matches have been more balanced too.

Helps make urn a comeback mechanic now between the speed buff when behind and not being revealed for 20s.
