nba season

[~devapor]

anyone here into basketball? The new season starts in about 2 weeks and i cant wait

[7red7]

Oh I'm a huge basketball fan...

And just to start things off right in here, I think I'd like to point out that the Lakers are going to fourway their streak (if you know what I mean), and I'll have plenty to be happy about again :D

[~devapor]

i hate the lakers (well i used to like the lakers in the 80's but i hate shaq and kobe) i am a huge spurs fan i hope they can get someone to score in the fourth quarter if they had that last year they would have beaten the lakers in the playoffs

[7red7]

HA HA HA!!! Oh great now we have both you and Joel to brag about the Spurs ;)

It got pretty heated in here last season during playoff time...

Oh and don't be angry because Shaq got his toe fixed...Oh it's going to be on for 2003!!!

[~Vladimir Valette]

it's all about the new york knicks as they continue to play next year's lottery pick.....

i still miss patrick ewing, dammit!

[~Bornslippy]

Kobe gained 15 more pounds... I luv the Lakers(Lakers 4 lfe).... They are an exciting team to watch...

BTW, I still think Michael Jordan is better than Kobe, Michael can palm the ball and Kobe can't which limits him to be more flexible..

i dont brag about the spurs i just let them play,i dont need to talk trash to anyone i know it will be spurs and lakers in the playoffs again and have you heard phil jackson they have asked him who he thinks is the biggest team the lakers would have to play,its the spurs thats the team they worry about the most

kobe will never be anywhere close to jordan without shaq kobe would have no rings

[7red7]

I agree the Shaq/Kobe thing is striclty combo, without one, there would be no success on the Lakers for the other...

Hell I worry everytime the Lakers play the Spurs...You guys are tough sum's-A-Biatches in Texas...Lakers Spurs is always fun to watch...I had more fun watching them play together than the finals themselves...:)

[7red7]

Yeah yeah keep dreaming Joel, keep dreaming, it's never gonna happen ;) *LOL* J/K

[7red7]

HA HA HA HA HAH A HA HA HAH A!!!!!!!

Hey Kobe has a pretty cute wife...And Rick Fox is married to Vivica...OOOOOhhhhhh need I say more ;)

[~devapor]

rick fox is married to vanessa williams and tim duncans wife is not a looker and i have never seen david robinsons wife and shaq i have never even heard about any women with him,phil jackson has got the hottie,and david robinson is a p***y

[7red7]

Yeah Phil's going with Jerry West's daughter right??? Lucky ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ *LOL*

[~devapor]

its the owners daughter i thnk his name is jerry buss or something she posed in plaboy not that long ago she is hot

[7red7]

I'm ot even gonna begin to argue that logic *LOL* ;)

[~LARS]

I love Basketball as well and am a pretty good player myself but since I move to FL I haven't really followed any specific team. I used to be a Pistons fan but they just don't have any players I like anymore, I guess I like the Knicks but I also like the Mavericks. I guess I'll have to wait and see this season which teams are most fun to watch!!!!

[~Gandalfe]

Lifelong Utah Jazz fan, here - although that might not be fashionable to admit anymore. I miss the days when not just Stockton and Malone were at the top of the pack, but the whole team was superb, when we had the kind of chemistry that wins Nobel prizes. When the only person who could beat us was the second-best palyer in the history of the game (I'm firmly convinced that Wilt Chamberlain was the best) and we plucked 2nd round draft picks from obscurity to guard Micheal Jordan.

Besides the Jazz, I've picked one team from each division to root for - about 4 years ago. In the Pacific, I like the Kings, Central it's the Pacers, and Atlantic the Nets. I'm gratified that two of those teams are doing very well. If I lived in Florida, like Lars, I'd be very tempted to start paying attention to the Magic this year, under the assumption that Grant Hill is actually going to be able to do anything.

[~devapor]

they say that grant hill is feeling really good this year,i think the team to watch this year is the wizards they went out and got alot of good players and they will have jordan playing off the bench more than likely,btw i hate the jazz (they used to beat the spurs in the playoffs on a yearly basis)

The Kings are the only team that can beat the Lakers...they proved that during last year's Western Conference Finals. Since both teams have virutally the same group of players returning, I expect more of the same--except this time, the Kings will win (hopefully without the refs giving the game to the Lakers this time).

The only other team that I can see giving the Lakers a run for their money is the Dallas Mavericks. With Dirk Nowitzki getting better each year, I think they'll be a really good team.

And even though they're not going to win the championship, the Los Angeles Clippers are my favorite team. For the first time since the early 90's, they should make it to the playoffs after acquiring the #1 assist guy in the NBA, Andre Miller. Hell, on paper, 4/5 of their starters are All-star capable.

[~devapor]

dallas cant beat the lakers in a playoff series,and apperently you didnt watch the spurs and lakers series the spurs should have won that series and the kings should have one the western conference finals series,that elbow that kobe gave mike bibby should have been a flagrant foul,the nba is getting to be more of a scam every year the refs give the lakers almost every call but the nba is a buisness and the lakers winning is good for the buisness

[~GuyverX]

Don't go assuming things you have no idea about.

I watched every single playoff game televised--FYI. The Spurs didn't even come close to beating the Lakers; they only managed to win one game...the Kings won 3.

Hell, I even rooted for the Spurs to beat the Lakers (note: I am definitely not a Laker fan) so that the Kings would have an easier time getting a championship. My optimism quickly dwindled...

It was Tim Duncan versus the whole entire Laker squad. Add another all-star, and you might have a chance. At least the Kings pushed it to 7 games and over time in that seventh game.

[7red7]

Oh come on Philip, you know you have a soft spot for the old Purple and Gold ;) :laugh:

[~GuyverX]

LOL, I might not like the Lakers, but I watch almost all of their games to see if they lose. :D

Honestly, the only thing that I liked about the Lakers was Chick Hearn...he was one in a million. A loss to all basketball fans nationwide... :(

well i guess being ahead until the fourth quarter of every game is not coming close to winning the lakers did not blow out the spurs every game was close

but that was last year anyway we will see what happens this year
