NBA Season Opener Preview

Here we go again basketball fans! We are two weeks away from the NBA's first game of the 2014-2015 season. On October 28th, the defending champion San Antonio Spurs will face-off against the the Dallas Mavericks. Later on that night, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, play James Harden and the Houston Rockets. These two games will make for a great opening night, as Kobe Bryant returns to the court after suffering from multiple knee problems last season. He will be matched up against one of the more elite shooting guards in the NBA James Harden. Dwight Howard will also cause a challenge for the Lakers now that they have lost one of there premiere big men, Pau Gasol. The defending champion San Antonio Spurs look to defeat Western Conference rivals the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas acquired former Houston Rocket Chandler Parsons. Chandler Parsons is an athletic, defensive, three shooter that'll try to contain the explosive skill set possessed by Spurs small forward Kawhi Leonard. The Spurs are of course favored to win; though I wouldn't jump to conclusions too soon. Western Conference games have the potential to be nail-biters no matter how "bad" NBA fans believe certain teams are.
This should be a great night for fans all over.

I'm curious to know who you think will come out on top October 28th..
Will the Dallas Mavericks upset the Spurs?
Will Kobe Bryant return as the same Kobe Bryant we know him as?

I guess we will just have to see...Until next time!
