The RVF had a thread committed to the NBA. I figured I would call this basketball at large so as to include conversations about high school, college basketball, etc, as well.
Now,speaking of NBA, the regular season started tipped off yesterday but for the bulk of the league it begins today. I have followed and supported the Portland Trail Blazers ever since I settled down in Oregon after leaving the Army in 2007. The Blazers had a busy off-season with trying to find a deal for Lillard then finally moving him to Milwaukee to pair with Giannis. I'm excited about what they got in return for that deal, which was really a multi-part and multi-team deal, as well as the young talent they already have (namely Scoot Henderson and Shaeden Sharpe). As such, I'm more excited about the team and the NBA this year than I've been since 2007. I don't have time to watch many games but I'll be sure to check out some highlights. (Plus, as a veteran, I get free Blazers tickets several times a season, and will check one out live this year).
