Command Analysis
Chicago finally earned a play-off spot under Billy Donovan's management. However, the Bulls suffered a defeat to Milwaukee Bucks in the first play-off round.
The Bulls signed Andre Drummond in the off-season. An experienced center will surely help the team in a new season. Drummond tallied four points and seven rebounds in a first pre-season match against New Orleans. But team got defeated by the Pelicans (125:129).
In a previous season it was too hard for Denver to reach the playoffs. Club failed to sign any strong players, so Nikola Jokic had to do it all by himself. Other key players were recovering after injuries and couldn't help their Serbian teammate.
Club's board decided to keep the same squad. Nuggets retained their key players - Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope joined the team during the off-season. Denver suffered an unexpected defeat to Oklahoma (102:111) in a first pre-season match.
