• BallCourt - NBA New Season Kick-Off | Brooklyn Is In The House - Kyrie and Durant look DANGEROUS!

  Dec 29, 2020 CWN Publisher 0 Comments

  The first week of the 2020-21 season was proceeding somewhat normally … or at least as normal as basketball can be in empty arenas in the midst of a pandemic. The good teams were mostly good, the bad teams were mostly bad, and there were some mixed results in between. This week on BallCourt, Coach Drew talks about the NBA New Season Kick-Off Teams and positions.  The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets both end up on top this week. Despite suffering a loss each, they have the top two net ratings in the league and it's impossible to argue that any of those undefeated teams are better than them at this point. After that, things get a little wild in the rankings. Additional topics include:

   ◦    Giannis signs 5 year supermax extension  and now what!
   ◦    Harden impressive in debut loss to TrailBlazers
   ◦    Is Brooklyn in the house, without a doubt.
   ◦    Lakers gets easy win for Christmas, but were we shafted on the gift.
   ◦    Upset Alert: Clippers make history in loss to Mavs.
   ◦    Coach Drew’s team to watch:  The Charlotte Hornets
