With 13 games into the season, we give you a quick recap of the first three weeks with our NBA analyst's Tim Smith, and Jason Banks.
TS: I for one think its too early to give a recap, or predictions. We are only three weeks into the league for crying of shake.
JB: Im excited for this season, and as I said, my favorite team Portland are out the gate fast. They currently lead the west in the conference standings at 10-4. Before the season started, I said that Dame had a huge chip on his shoulder, and planned to let the league know of it. He is fourth in points,with 23.5 points per game. They take on your Knicks this week, actaully.
TS: We are going to get into my KNicks in just a second. I want to talk about the favored GS Warriors.
JB: They are struggling... They sit at 10-4 with my Trailblazers, and I dont think they have what it takes this year to go back to the finals..
TS: You Dont Think What!? Again we are three weeks into the season, the Lebron James, and Wade Heat took 20 games to gel together. This Warrior team has about 60+ games left to get the chemistry together, and I think they will. KD right now is second in scoring next to James Harden with 27 points per game. Once Steph and KD find their nitch together, I think the West is in trouble
JB" Yea, well, we will see about that. I do know KD's old buddy isnt having a problem leading his team. Westbrook and his Thunder are forth in the West and sit at 9-5. Westbrook has alot to prove, and so little time to do so. Look for them to be in the playoffs come May.
TS: No faith in GS, but you put your faith in a one man team. Absolutely no big names other than Westbrook, and his coach, and you actually believe in them. You live such a fairy tale world.
JB: Ok, now for your KNicks. They are 13-0 right now, looking amazing. Melo isnt holding the ball long, players look happy, and the KNicks are winning! How long does this last?
TS: Welp, Im going to be a bit hard on my KNicks,I believe everybody is sleeping on them right now, you know the first go around. Now with Derrick Rose injured for a week, we will see how good the Knicks really are.
JB: Brandon Jennings has lead them to two victory's since Rose was injured. He looks to be the answer when Rose isnt around. Although they look a little sluggish finding a back up while Rose is gone, the Knicks seem to find answers. The team vocal leader, Noah plays a big part in this teams sucess, because he puts the fire into the team. Every home game, and packed with fans going crazy. The Knicks have for sure put the energy back in the garden. It has a 90's feel when you step into the arena.
TS: Well thats our time for today. We will be back at the end of the month for the NBA first month recap.
PORTLAND VS KNICKS UP NEXT..
