T.M. Selection: Golden State (8* MONEY-MAKER).

Plenty of star power on display in this one, but the team that shows the most chemistry in the early going is the one that's going to take this one. The Nets were terrible defensively last year. I don't think that KD or Kyrie Irving enhances their defensive ability much. The Warriors had the whole season to re-tool their team and while the absence of Klay Thompson is big, it's really only big in the "big picture." I think Golden State is the better coached team that has a deep bench and while I'll not be predicting an outright upset, everything points to the "points" as being the savvy call in this matchup; play on the Warriors!

T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY.
