Preview:The battle at the bottom of the power rankings opens up the season for us. Orange hopes to not repeat anything from last year but it doesn't look like enough has changed to avoid it. My prediction: newcomer Garret Merkin is going to drop 25pts on as many shots and Purple wins in a blowout.

Preview:I think Marcus has had this game posted on his fridge all offseason because he moved the schedule around to make sure it stayed the first game of the season. Needless to say, Yellow will be ready for White. Championship hangovers are a real thing and eventually Yellow has to win one against White but... it won't be this week. Darien Brothers is still going to be on the court. White by a free throw.

Preview:This game will either be chaos or boring as hell, there will be no in between. Most people see Green taking it, and the more I hear about the new 6'7 addition to Green I have to agree. Green by double digits and Tony throws up less than twice.

Preview:Most people picked Black to win, and with a bunch of solid additions to the roster it's an easy case to make. I think they're underrating Dfern and the rest of Red, though. They're explosive and physical -- if their shots fall they'll be tough to beat. Red by 5.
