Dunkin' with Dom Episode #62: NBA Opening Week! Early Surprises and Disappointments, including Woes with Westbrook, Bulls Start Hot, Curry versus Giannis, Brooklyn Blunders, and more with Alex Eisman
Welcome to the sixty-second episode of the Dunkin' with Dom podcast! With the 75th season of the NBA underway, Alex and I provide our thoughts on the first week of action. We'll start by talking about the Lakers, Westbrook's questionable fit with the team, LeBron's durability, and how probable this team could make the playoffs while avoiding the play-in game. Then, we'll shift out East and talk about strong starts from both the Hornets and the Bulls, how sustainable this is, and if both these teams could be playoff threats down the road. Finally, we'll run through both conferences and discuss a wide array of topics, including Curry's MVP candidacy (and Embiid's dark-horse candidacy), Miami's early flashes of greatness, the Bucks' continued success, Indiana's slow start, roster concerns with the Nets, whether New York can really compete in the East, the Timberwolves' young core, which West teams are legit playoff contenders, and so much more.
