NBA basketball is back! And while there is a lot to think about this upcoming season: Will the Warriors repeat? Will LeBron finally bring a title to Cleveland? What about Durant? Anthony Davis? John Wall? Those dang Milwaukee Bucks? You’re sure to get an overload of information as to who and what is going to take place, but here at Impose, we want to give you a calm place to consider the 2015 NBA season. For each team we present a haiku to capture their current essence as well as the unknown future. First up: the Eastern Conference. Let it sink in the way a Swaggy P three pointer entertaining miss sinks in.
