NBA: '07-08 Season discussion

[SID210SA]

I dont know how many NBA fans there are but its that time of year....the season starts next week I would like to hear about your NBA team.

Mine.....the Defending Champion San Antonio Spurs....the team is virtually intact from last season which makes them the favorite to repeat this year. The Spurs are the oldest team in the NBA again this year in average age of players, but they mesh well together.

The Spurs are going for their first repeat and their 5th ring in 10 years!!

[MERCMAN]

Don't care about the NBA, too much "thugism", poor examples for the youngsters of today "Where have all the heros gone?"

If you compare Dennis Rodman to some of todays' players,, Dennis was a PIKER. At least he was entertaining.

[ParkRanger]

The Lakers look like a sorry lot again this year. :(

Still injury prone; Kobe not happy with mgmt; No defense; a fragmented team.
I give them 0 chances to make the playoffs. :mad:

PR :alone:

[Bobmiddle]

+1^^^ :shake:

[Crown Vicman]

I hope either the spurs, rockets, or nuggets win it this year.

[rvaldez1]

Da Bulls!!

[dreydin]

Go Rockets! :banana:


Edit: and no offense SID, but the Spurs are a snooze fest. they do win though!

Reporter: How does it feel to win?
Tim Duncan: Uhhh, I'm happy. Uhhh, uhhhh. Uhhh, I like cheese. Uhhh, yay!

Being from BC, I'm a Phoenix Suns fan as I follow Steve Nash. I'm going to their final preseason game right here in Vancouver against the Sonics. This is the year of the Suns!

[Joe Walsh]

Remember how popular the NBA was when we all got to watch Magic Johnson & Larry Bird!?

Lakers vs. Celtics!?

Now I, like too many former fans, could care less about the NBA...:(

I haven't watched a game in years!

I must admit that I REALLY enjoy watching the U.S. All-Star showboaters lose to any other country's TEAM.

[SID210SA]

Well, tonight is the night.....ring ceremony, banner unvailing, vs. the Portland Trailblazers. I hope to be there tonight.

Go Spurs Go

Oh yeah....and the Spurs traded their back up point guard for a 2008 "Protected" 2nd round draft pick.....WTF does that mean...."Protected" He was not a bad player and has playoff and championship experience. Guess we will see what happens.

[SID210SA]

Well....The Spurs are doing pretty good.....6-1 after romping the Bucks last night.....the Spurs lead by as many as 40 points!!!

[Raudermaster]

I can't believe how good the Celtics are doing.

[dreydin]

i havnt gotten to really watch much of the Rockets, but from the little i have seen, theyre doing good! Yao, finally, seems to have gotten his game together! maybe i can scrounge up some cash and go watch a Rockets vs. Celtics game. its about time KG left the timberwolves! things are getting interesting! =)

[Jblue21]

detrooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiii iit baskettttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttttttttttballllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll

[ParkRanger]

Well....The Spurs are doing pretty good.....6-1 after romping the Bucks last night.....the Spurs lead by as many as 40 points!!!

Better watch out -- the Lakers are coming! :shake:
This will give you a chance to see your bench players kick a$$.
You'll need plenty of coffee to stay awake. Bad team man - Buss did not want to pay anymore money for players to help Kobe.

PR :beer:

[CBT]

Sooooo.......who won?

[keithb123]

Go Wizards!!! Agent Zero :banana:

[SID210SA]

12-2 Spurs!!!! Hopefully this will be the back 2 back year!!!

[Vortex]

Go SPURS go!

[smithej450]

Spurs are good, but teams such as phoenix, boston, miami (when D-wade is healthy) is going to give them a run for their money. But I am still rooting for the spurs.

[SID210SA]

Even with D Wade....I dont think the Heat have much of a chance unless Shaq is in a slump, but I think his is on his way out....and as far as Boston goes...they are a good team but remember Dallas last year started hot then faded at the end and went out in the first round.

[SID210SA]

SPURS still rollin'!!!!! Even with out Tim Duncan they can beat the good teams in the West.....both Dallas and Utah and remain undefeated at home.!

[SID210SA]

Well it looks as if Houstons streak has come to an end...and the Spurs are just sucking on all facets of the game....

[Raudermaster]

Celts are kicking ass!

[QWK SVT]

It's tough to be a Raptors fan, right now... After an 0-5 trip to the west, we're due for a win, and playing Miami tonight should be the cure for our woes.

Chris Bosh should be back tonight, so that's good - because he draws a double team everytime, he opens shots for the rest of the team. Hopefully he's ready for a return, and not coming back to help the team, at the expense of his own health.

Calderon has proven to be one of the best pure PG's in the league (still bitter he didn't get the All Star nod), but hasn't been his best lately. TJ Ford (coming back off injury) has proven he doesn't belong on this team - I like his energy, but the over confidence and "shoot first, shoot second" mentality is not good for a back up PG. He's also not adjusting to the back up role very well, as he was always a starter previously in his career.

We have 4 decent swingmen in Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, Carlos Delfino and Jason Kapono, but no stability amongst them (other than AP, of late). Up until tipoff, there's uncertainty who will play well, and who will watch the apposing 2/3 run past for the easy layup...

Hopefully this team composes itself, and prepares for the last stretch, and the following playoffs...

[freakstatus]

5 straight wins for the Suns.....looks like the scare with Shaq is over.....look out Kobe, here comes the Suns! 1 game out of first!
