Entry #6

 2021 NBA Season

As many of us know, the NBA season is upon us and I must say, it came extremely faster than usual. There are very new teams that have rebuild over the years such as the Phoenix Suns, Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks that have exceeded everyones expectations. With the Milwaukee Bucks winning the 2020 NBA Season, many didn't think they could repeat or even hold on for as long as they did last season. The Los Angeles Lakers also have a-lot of hype surrounding this season with the addition of ten new players signed over the off season, which most have only signed a 1 year deal. 

Most teams are 2-3 games into the season so its still fairly fresh, the Lakers are having a rough time trying to get into the groove of the addition of new players such as star point guard Russell Westbrook and back up center Dwight Howard. The Suns and Lakers faced off for the second game of the season and if many don't know, its always a good rivalry between two teams although this game was over when it started. The Phoenix Suns start off hot the first two quarters and end up taking the lead by 30 points. I myself watched the game and turned off my TV by the end of the 3rd quarter because of the mediocrity the Lakers were playing both on defense and offense. The Suns take the game ending with a score of 115-105 to male the Lakers 0-2 for the start of the season. 

Majority of the super teams are on the Western conference and no one really that dominate is on the Eastern Conference besides the two obvious team, which would be the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks. One team in particular is on the rise with the addition of three new players, would be the Chicago Bulls. The three new signings of Demar DeRozen, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso who have proved themselves they can run Windy City. The Chicago Bulls are the only team in the NBA that are undefeated with a record of 3-0 and they are a must see team this year. The Bulls and New Orlean Pelicans which happened to be Lonzo Balls old team before he signed with the Bulls this season and Lonzo potentially had one of the greatest games of his career so far. He took over the game as if he looked like a veteran point guard dropping a triple double, 17 points, 10 assist and 10 rebounds to close out the game in style as the Bulls won 128-112. After the event of three games that multiple teams have played this season, I firmly believe this season will be one of the greatest seasons we as fans, have watched.
