Anyone feel this season is lacking something?

Not sure if its my old age and nostalgia speaking but man this season is turning out to be a bit of a snore. Perhaps its because Curry has been out and warriors aren't really going to be anything more than a playin team/or knocked out in the first round. Or is it because LBJ looks solidly to be on the way out of LA and is actually starting to show his age. I guess Tatum not playing means there's also no ammo for haters to say how corny or unclutch he is. What SGA is doing in OKC and Wemby and the Spurs, Cade and the league leading Pistons are nice stories but they're not makinig me tune in every night fervently.

But in any case, there's really no drama or exciting storylines to discuss. Anyone feel the same ?
