NBA season 2008-09
 

NBA preseason has started last night. The celtics and the lakers will be dominating the NBA once again this season. The spurs will go downhill due to old age. Watch for the trailblazers and the hornets to rise. Lebron james will continue to put on a show. Seattle supersonics have moved to oklahoma city and I wonder how shawn kemp feels about it. The nuggets will score 200 points in a single game. Celtics have resigned the 38-year-old sam "the alien" cassell for another season. Anyone want to add anything?

I miss the Sonics already. The Celts, of course, will be a juggernaut in the East again. The Rockets overachieved last season, the addition of Ron Artest and a healthy Yao make them a legit contender. I don't think the Spurs slide will be very dramatic, if at all noticeable. They'll get Manu back after the break, and they'll secure a nice slot in playoffs. The Lake Show will be better than they were last year, and if Andrew Bynum stays healthy and continues to develop they will be much more intimidating down the stretch and into the playoffs.

And that show will be called "The Lebron keeps dropping obvious hints he is going to play for the Knicks show" :lol

lebron james is my boyfriend

We will steal him from you like we stole your manny as soon as garnett, pierce and ray allen all have retired within 2 or 3 years, providing that james decides not to play in europe next year. I can already imagine rondo setting up an alley-oop for james. That would be sweeeet.

I'm gonna call danny ainge and make that suggestion right now.

oh i fully expect him to be stolen, but he'll still be my boyfriend. :D

I gotta say though, he took it like a man and was a class aact about it :)

It's a set-up!

I don't buy that "special olympics" excuse. He didn't look like a special olympics kid on the video to me.

Dude, they lied to him before hand.

The NBA thinks it's the NHL!

Lebron James and the Cavs fans have a hurt relationship, and it got worse when this happened

Funniest thing I heard said about it though was a text message on Jim Rome

"Dear Cavs fan,

If you boo Lebron James for a Chalupa, what would you boo for a Klondike bar?":lol

So who thinks the Timberwolves will win 20 games? I don't.:(

Chocolate Poles in White Holes 7

we're waiting for marriage >:

PJ gets canned again. How does this guy keep getting hired?

You'd think that after getting choked he'd get the point and gallop off into obscurity.

so how 'bout them cavs?

It was only a matter of time, I guess. He doesn't deserve all the "credit" for the Sixers slow start, but the icing on the cake was Iguodala's interview where he says, in part, "We didn't have the mental toughness down the stretch. We kind of gave in." How does this not reflect on the coaching?

They beat the Wizards last night. Woo. One of the few teams currently playing worse than we are.

They could be the celtic's biggest threat in all of nba including the lakers even though the c's beat the freakin' cavs in the season opener. But since then the freakin' cavs have developed into an amazing team. They lost to the lowly regarded kings recently only because they missed the big Z who was out with a sprained ankle.

The celtics on other hand are having a spectacular season so far. In each and every game, they have played either beautifully executed celtics basketball or they have hustled their way for a win. They don't have a really big scorer on the team because they're a well balanced team with a good bench. I hope people realize by now that they're more than just the big three.

Btw did anyone see glenn "big baby" davis bust out few tears after getting yelled at by kevin garnett during a timeout? I'm sure you'll find it on youtube.

Just you wait. Garnett will sucker punch him in practice. Just...you...wait.

Sixers lose Elton Brand for 4-6 weeks with a shoulder separation. Life just isn't fair. :(

Maybe they can be more uptempo, maybe? Just trying to give you some silver lining, Colonel.

Thanks. We'll see what the MRI reveals and how the team responds over the next few games.

Lou Williams was a beast last night against the Bucks, though.
