You’ve read several NBA Previews already. You’re ready for the season to start. But you haven’t read any haikus in a while. So here you go. NBA Preview haikus and team win-total guesses.

  1. Boston Celtics

Quest for the eighteenth

A blanket hangs from the sky

Can we enjoy this?

Win guess: 57

2. Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis now has space

But can they play the defense?

Middleton aging

Win guess: 54

3. Cleveland Cavs

First round exit sting

Fears of Mitchell leaving town

Strus must shoot lights out

Win guess: 48

4. Atlanta Hawks

Quin smoothes out wrinkles

Trae has fun with Dejounte

More shooting more splash

Win guess: 47

5. Philadelphia Sixers

Harden and Morey

Feud ends in January

Too late for Embiid

Win guess: 47
