It has been CRAZY! The atmosphere that has been present is ridiculous, and the fact that we get this many high energy games in December is amazing. I talk a lot about the games and my predictions for the games, and how the Lakers can win it all, yes, that means the NBA Championship too.
Nuggets and Heat played Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Finals, and the Nuggets ran circles around the Heat. Nikola Jokic is next up, and he has to continue to prove himself.
The Sixers might just take Game 6 at home, and head on to the ECF, and potentially the Finals. Jayson Tatum probably will never get a ring just because of the level of competition surrounding him the in East. 
Embiid won the 2023 NBA MVP, but will he lead his team to a ring this year? There are a lot of good players in the league, and the chip is up for grabs.

Jimmy Butler is the new owner of the Milwaukee Bucks franchise after scoring 98 points in two games to close out the series and move on to the second. Butler is the first player in 30 years to score 98 points in the playoffs in a two game span since Michael Jordan himself in 1993. 
The Suns are up 3-1 going into this today's game against the Clippers, and odds are that the Suns close out the series in Phoenix tonight. Barring injury from the Suns, how far can they go in the playoffs?
Are the Warriors who they were last year? Or are they the bad road team that everyone knows of this season? How good is 4th Quarter Fox and is it enough to get the 3-seed out of the first round? Regardless, the Haliburton-Sabonis trade was a huge success, and now Sacramento fits in well with the great Guard + Big combos that surround our league today. 
Best series in all of basketball right now regardless of who you like is the Clippers versus the Suns. Huge game on Sunday and a massive road win for the Clippers over in Phoenix. Westbrook had one of the most interesting statlines I've seen in a game in which he won, and there were so many things the stat sheets didn't show in this game. 
Shai went crazy. Plain and simple. He had a great game to move the Thunder on to the second round of the Play-In, along with his supporting cast. Will he be able to push them to the 8th seed after they defeat Minnesota?
Lakers Secure 7th Seed

Despite the Wolves hot start, the Lakers stormed back to win the first play-in game for the Western Conference. LeBron has his best supporting cast since the Bubble, and I think they can take the Grizzlies out in the first round. 
The first show! Got a couple good segments, and both clips will be uploaded to Youtube each week! 
There's a lot going on in the league right now, with some of the biggest contracts we've ever seen to Chet getting 4 blocks in the Summer League. Some players aren't getting paid as much as others, but does that matter? Find out what we discuss on this episode!
The trades that have happened so far haven't been anything massive as of yet, but these are the kinds of trades that make the most noise in the short term.
I think the two Thompson twins are going to make a lot more noise than people give them credit for, and being in a position to draft either one is a great gig for a rebuilding team.
I don't think that anybody won the Bradley Beal trade, mainly for the fact that the Wizards got no rebuilding pieces, and the Suns just added to the scoring they already had. 
Devin Booker went for 38 in a game where the Suns pulled away late. The trio of Durant, Booker and CP3 is looking to be as lethal as expected. Westbrook is still playing his tail off, and the true deciding factor will be between the bigs Ivica Zubac and Deandre Ayton.
