The Westbrook curse seems to be still intact. The Lakers are off to one hell of a start as well. Taking down some of the best teams in the league to start things off. We’ll see how they hold up throughout the season.

I’ve been surprised by the Hawks start. Although they’re facing a tough test today against the undefeated Thunder to see who will stay without a loss.

The Thunder won against the Hawks by 24 points 128-104. Nothing surprising knowing it's the Thunder that they're facing, and we know how strong these youngsters are. The culture of the Thunder right now is for me is what I like about them. I mean you can feel the energy, the excitement and with some additional entertainment during the interviews especially at the end when all of them support the best player of the game. Cheesy

As for the Westbrook Curse, I would slightly disagree with that... or should I say it's too early to say it since we're just starting the regular season. What I believe is that the chemistry between Westbrook and his teammates isn't there yet. We know that Coach Malone is a great coach, and he will do everything for the betterment of the team.

What more surprising is Coach Redick tame Lebron while other coach struggling to do that. Maybe he really see that system created by their new coach is really great that's why the trust build up. No one expect them to have a run like this since what people think that they might struggle this season due to their past actions or decisions made also for drafting Bronny which is waste of their slot. But now we can see that Lakers is back and seem they are comfortable now with their rotation and provably that they are more chasing wins to have better run this season. So let see on where lakers go and how long they can maintain this no lose record.

I would say that their past relationship as close friends is a factor to this one. Maybe Lebron saw a potential with him hence, he chooses to follow what he's saying. We've seen screens that we've never seen since Coach Ham handled the team. We've seen plays that we've never seen from them ever since they won the title. We've seen Russell and Reaves being a better defender compared to how they defend a few years ago. Maybe it's too early to be optimistic about them, but if we will base on their first 3 games, I will say there's a huge improvement on the team as a whole.
