The season's starting early this year! A hair over two months after the schedule dropped.

I'm ready for a surprise in both this season and postseason. Mostly everyone wanted a trilogy to happen last season and that wish was granted. Let's hope we don't get Part 4.
Will the bubonic plague prevent a Warriors dynasty? Will Pop and Kawhi net 60 wins again? Is the Rockets experiment going to work? Are the Thunder going to act surprised when Paul George leaves? Is KAT making the 3rd year leap?(which would be insane based on his last season) Can the Nuggets or Blazers act as spoiler to the expected West top 5? What the hell are the Clippers? Are the Cavs winning the 2019 lottery? Will the Celtics see one of their young players break through the rotation and become a major piece as early as this season? Are the Raptors planning to shuffle their roster again? Is it time for the Wizards to get a younger option in place of Gortat? Who's next to get hurt on the Sixers? Can the Nets please be more atrocious than everyone else for one more season?
Who's going to be the not-All-Star caliber player that makes the All-Star Team in the East this year? In the last decade, think along the lines of Devin Harris or Jameer Nelson.
