As a lifelong Laker fan (well since the early Vlade, Anthony Peeler and Eldon Campbell days of the early 90's..hey, I'm only 25!) I'm excited but reserved about Pau. Would love a ring this year, but I'm not getting too far ahead of myself here like ESPN and everyone else is trying to do. The playoffs will be tough, but I do love how the league has broken out of it's shell and with the recent moves; there's a lot of new NBA excitement around here again. Shaq coming back west will be really fun for the Lakers-Suns rivalry. Still love the big fella, I have three reasons why! Now if Bynum gets himself healthy, I can't complain too much about Kobe, Fisher, Bynum, Odom, Gasol as a starting 5.
Kudos to the NBA and the crazy ass owners for mixing it all up!! |
thank you.... now in the past i'd get on for saying this....
but you can thank the NORTHEAST here.... cause the C's get Ray Allen, and KG.... and POOF, NBA is exciting again... coincidence???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Northeast is crucial to any sport.... all about fans and revenue.... KG became the #1 selling jersey, Celtic games are sold out, everyone across the country is excited about them....
and now the lakers... LA....
no brainer... no one cares about the Charlotte bobcats, the New Orleans Hornets, the TRAILblazers.... all crap....
and its old skool... Mavs were before Cuban, Spurzzzz were ...... Lakers, Pistons, Celtics, old skool... people WANT it!

Agree with Lakers and Celtic's being important to the NBA but I disagree with the Pistons.
Rather watch those two teams then Spurs and Pistons every year. |

honestly, I was trying to humor if there are any piston fans... probably not though, so I was being silly....
Lakers and Celtics for sure, I hate the pistons, don't get me wrong, but some people(vern) care for the Pistons... |

I'll boycott the NBA finals if it's Spurzzz-Pistonzzz |

btw the west looks, i have no idea who will make it to the western conference semifinals. the standings are tighter than a virgin's ............ nevermind . :wtf:
btw, the lakers took a serious blow with kobe's injured pinky. because of the tight race, the lakers can't afford to lose another starter(bynum out). i am sure kobe is going to try to play through the pain, but he's definately not going to be 100%. we will see how the lakers are going to deal with this one.
but it's so tight in the western conference, the 9th place team can jump to 1st in a matter of 2 weeks if things go right for that team.
as for the LEastern conference, there's boston, detroit, and orlando(maybe......) and then there's the field. that is seriously bad. with atlanta and miami making blockbuster trades, i expect them to make strong pushes in the 2nd half, pushing a 65+ winning percentage in the stretch. |

The West is amazing to watch this year. A team like the Nuggets or Rockets could win 50+ games this year and still miss out on the playoffs.
I love it.. Plus all the trade rumors right now enhance it. |

| Can't the Lakers just keep healthy. Dammit!!! Dwight was insane last night in the dunk contest, fun events to watch. |

slam dunk contest was just too cool.....and seeing mymymymy Kapono win the 3 point contest and tie Craig Hodges was as well
as for the allstar game, I coudnt watch one minute of it.cause of the jerseys.
Ugly is one thing,The west jerseys looked liked the Wizards jersey on acid, but these are the most confusing uniforms too.With those front and back jerseys with different colors , I know it confused a lot of people watching the game and I imagine the players as well. |

mad props to that.
its a shame Kobes future this season is uncertain, I was looking forward to seeing the Lakers actually compete for a title with Gasol now. |
