Lhe NBA season has started by turning around the opinion of the experts and any forecast in the bookmakers. All eyes were on the mega projects of the Lakers and Nets or the current champions, the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the orange ball has shown that millions and large investments are not always synonymous with success neither in the NBA nor in the world of sports.
On Brooklyn have begun to dial the first numbers of the Kyrie Irving as they themselves have recognized in the mouth of Durant: “I know what you want me to say. And yes, we miss Kyrie.” The eaves are too lonely and despite his titanic efforts to attack rivals, the bad time of James Harden, orphan of the base reference ‘all star’, has made for the moment the 175 million invested in the Nets roster (2-3) they are not paying off.
I know what you want me to say. And yes, we miss Kyrie “
Something similar happens in about Lakers (165 million in salaries for a 2-3 balance sheet) in which everything is magnified. Even the way to reap a defeat. Because it is not the same to fall at home against a good team like the Heat than to do it against the Thunder, who had not won a game this season and who took the victory against the Angelenos after coming back 26 points in a demonstration of worrying inconsistency and irregularity in the Los Angeles team. A group that knows better than anyone what it is like to see large-scale investments go wrong.
Miles Bridges He was named Player of the Week in the East after the first seven days of competition in the NBA and it seems that he wants to repeat the award. The forward is being the spearhead of the good start of the Hornets and together with LaMelo Ball forms a society that enjoys and makes people enjoy as it happened against the Magic, when i signed 31 points and six rebounds to lead the fourth victory in five games for Michael Jordan’s team.

The Miami Heat they have already launched their candidacy to be considered among the favorites within the Eastern Conference. The ones from Florida already have beaten the reigning NBA champions, the Milwaukee Bucks, and last night they did the same with the Brooklyn Nets, great candidates for the ring. Those from Florida were led by Bam Adebayo that goes, little by little, warming up as shown by its 24 points and nine rebounds.
Just like it happens to Nets, Lakers o Bucks, the current NBA runners-up, the Phoenix Suns, they do not finish finding the rhythm at this start of the season. The Arizona team has little or nothing to do with the team that the fans fell in love with last season and a good part of ‘fault’ has it Chris Paul. The compass of this team has momentarily lost the north and showed it to the Kings with a one out of 10 in the shot.
The exact opposite of the Suns occurs in unknown Wolves. A team with good players, but that had not found the key to make all the gear work and that now looks like a well-oiled machine. Especially because of the good harmony that his Big Three shows on the court. Against the Bucks, D’Angelo Russell (29), Anthony Edwards (25) y Karl-Anthony Towns (25) gave their best version to nullify the 40 points of Antetokounmpo.
