One thing we know for sure - the Knicks will suck again. Isiah really f-cked us up good.

My dark horse team to win it all - Houston. If those cats stay healthy(Yao, T-Mac & Skip-to-my-lou), they can get to the Finals. It'll be interesting to see what the Blazers will do - the sky's the limit for those youngsters.

It's our turn....

Houston - Won't ever be healthy enough to win shit . TBack & OW Ming = Good to miss 20+ games each

Sorry, Renegade...But that team in the background that CP3 is scoring on....Yeah, you see 'em! - Get ready to see them BACK IN THE MUTHAFUCKIN' FINALS AGAIN, and this time Bynumite is gonna be there!

MuthaFunka said:

I'm not convinced that Bynum is going to have the impact everyone thinks he will...and while I'll grant that not getting a decent back-up for CP3 is a bit of a concern, Posey, Devin Brown, and Rasual Butler give us better depth than last year...

...now, if we could find the fountain of youth/health for Peja...

Its still going to be another great season in the West....

If Posey can do for the Hornets what he did for Boston in the playoffs, Hornets are deadly. Backup PG is a concern.

Western conference is loaded again...don't go to sleep on Utah.

reneGade20 said:

I am.

uPtoWnNY said:

Posey and Butler were lights out in a couple of the preseason games...so if it even kind of holds up, deadly is just the tip of the iceberg.....

...and thats why I hate Utah, because they're hardly ever any hype for them, but they always end up right in the mix....

I don't normally get into basketball..but now that we have our own NBA team here in OKC...I am thinking of getting into the sport.

reneGade20 said:

Utah's tough, with a tough/nasty coach, they fight you tooth & nail and they play smart basketball.

That kid West on the Hornets could play on my team any day - love his game. I look at all these young, talented cats in the league, and it makes me hate Zeke even more. This is NYC, the Garden, the mecca of basketball, and look at what we have thanks to our lousy front office(Jerome f-cking James).

Yay, only 82 games to go!

Basketball doesn't start until football is over.

I had a dream about basketball the other night, sorta

I used to be a big Knicks fan when Pat was in the paint (had to root for someone cuz we didn't have a team in N.O. then..) so even now its hard to watch how far they've fallen...hopefully, it won't be too much longer before they rise up again...

..D-West is the man...but Ty Chandler needs to keep improving and playing out of his mind in order for the whole thing to work....

Hawks fan here. All the predictions I've seen seem to suggest we'll win a handful less games than last year, but I think people are overstating the loss of Childress. If Smith continues his progress I think we could end up a handful of games up on last year, maybe at .500.

I Co-sign on this Alex, I don't start paying serious attention the the NBA until after the Superbowl, now College Basketball has my attention from start to finish, I can't wait for it to start

BTW I'm a Sixers fan who hopes Elton Brand can stay healthy

Lakers. Kicked that ass by 20. Who's next?

MuthaFunka said:

Greg Oden hurt again - damn. The curse of Sam Bowie.

My team, Da Bulls will be lucky 2 win 35 games.

That's more than the Knicks will win.

uPtoWnNY said:

What happened to Oden?

He sprained his right foot in the second quarter.

uPtoWnNY said:

This guys seems 2 be developing into an injury waiting 2 happen. I hope it's not serious. I'd like 2 see him play.

Heck yeah!! I love basketball. Now, my Timberwolves..well, never mind. Anyway. The team to beat will be Boston and LA LAkers. The Spurs are still a dangerous team, but the Lakers will own the West and the Celtics will own the East.

I've stopped being an nba fan, once they started promoting thugs as stars

I will be watching every Toronto Raptors game I possibly can. I'm a huge fan!

Go Raptors!!
