After watching last night's game, I'm feeling pretty good about my OKC champ pick. Oh my, these young guys were running the floor hard, defending hard, creating so much offense/points on transition, and everyone playing for one another. Just a pleasure to watch a team playing like that. Both teams were shooting like shit on 3's, but OKC attacked the paint more efficiently, and I think that gave them the win. Still need to work on the rebounding though. Need their true 5 to play, as Chet is still too skinny to play against a real 5. Looking forward to see that Hartenstein can do for them when he returns.
The Wemby All NBA pick seems really really bold now, but I'll give it a bit more time before changing my mind. Keeping my picks for now.
Side note, after looking at your table, I think I'm the only person who doesn't have Giannis on my All NBA picks. Talk about bold (or foolish).
OKC is gonna be beastly this season, but I still picked Celtics because young teams rarely get the chip without more experience in the finals first.
Edit: I also didn't pick Giannis for All NBA 1st... though I just joined just now.

They should look even better when Hartenstein returns.

Especially against Denver. Chet will be fine in a lot of matchups, but Denver's got way too much beef for him.
