Turner's Takes

 With the NBA season back in full swing, fans always form many opinions on how their team's season will go based on their performance within the first couple of weeks back.

In the next 2 weeks, they will be facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles . At this point in the season, I look at these next 2 games as major tests. I do think we will win both games, but it won't be easy. While it still may be too early to say...
