After months of free agent signings, trade rumors, and a near-constant examination of Twitter, basketball fans can take a sigh of relief. Hoops are back. The 2018-19 NBA season kicks off Tuesday night, and The Ringer is here to get you ready for a months-long battle to see which team has the honor of probably losing to the Warriors next summer. Join us all day as we break down our favorite performances from years past, examine the intricacies of J.R. Smith’s tattoo, and push some takes to their absolute breaking point. Welcome to NBA Previewpalooza!
