DeMar DeRozen leads the league in scoring, and Kyle Lowry is playing a great supporting role. But, is that enough to make the Raptors a contender for the Eastern Conference or is this just their MO now? We also attempt to find DeMarre Carroll, and figure out how to pronounce Bebe.

When Mike D'Antoni took the job in Houston, many wondered how the creative offensive mind would work with one of the most prolific offensive players the NBA has ever seen in James Harden. His solution: turn the prolific shooting guard into a prolific point guard. BRILLIANT! Or is it?
Also, it is easy to make predictions in the preseason, but sometimes it takes a few games to really feel good about them. Which predictions are we sitting comfortably with? And are the Baby Lakers suddenly the most entertaining team in Los Angeles?
We start our journey around the NBA, where we watch every team for one week out west with the Portland Trailblazers. Damian Lillard starts his MVP campaign? Which Blazer reminds us the bad old days in Portland, and what does 150 million dollars buy you in today's NBA?
