I thought it was time for a new thread, since the new NBA season will kick off in under 24 hours. I'm kinda excited to see what happens this season due to the changed landscape. Lakers new team, Bulls probably won't be competing, and a plethora of new fringe contenders.

So, everybody, are you excited as well?

Well the way I see it, it sucks that it's very likely that it will be a Miami/LA Laker/Thunder Finals.... but WHO KNOWS. That's why you play the game right? Surprises, hopefully there is another title run for the Spurs before Timmy decides to hang them up.

... Ray Allen is not going to do well with Courtney Lee guarding him.

I honestly forgot the Celtics picked up Courtney Lee, and expected Terry to guard him. But still, I could see him doing 11-14 points.

Terry will be the 6th man. When Terry plays, they will likely hide him on a player that has a limited offensive skill set (like Shane Battier who just sits in the corner for open 3s)

I honestly expect Ray to have a monster year, he's going to be shooting wide open J's if Wade and LeBron get in the paint rather than all the complicated screen actions they ran for him in Boston.

I know, I just assumed Terry would guard him due to being the starter, because I forgot they signed Lee.

very pumped. Spurs have a very real shot at being #1 in the west once again and hopefully this time they go all the way :D

The Heat haven't really been dominant in the regular season but now that they've got two full seasons and two final's appearances with the big 3 plus ray allen they should win a ton of games. Will be fun to watch

Seeing how everything else plays out will also be very interesting.

I don't know, Garnett seems pretty pissed about the whole thing. I don't think the Heat have any European players for him to beat up on, so it might be Ray:lol:

Also very excited. With the NHL and NHLPA having fun losing money together, I've missed the NBA greatly. A full season of basketball is exactly what I need.

Pretty excited. The moment JJ got traded i thought the hawks would probably be struggling to make the playoffs(even though it'd be for the good of the franchise). But after acquisitions of people like lou williams, along with what i saw in preseason, and seeing analysts hype us up, I think we could surprise some people this year.

First up, the Rockets. Let's make Harden look like a scrub

True, but I'll watch it until the Heat/Celtics game. Nothing to do until then anyway.

If you look closely, everytime Battier shoots a 3 the rim opens a little wider via remote control.

Allen walked up to KG, while he was on the bench, and patted him on the back. KG was like f*ck you.

Wade's 15,000 point. WOnder what he'll finish with? I could see him getting around 26,000+, pending on if he stays relatively healthy.

Things getting a little testy now.

If Terry had done that to Haslem, I think things would have been ON.

Amar'e is out until December, but that may not be a that bad of a thing. Advance metrics show that when Carmelo plays the 4 him and that team is much better. If they have some success without Amar'e maybe that makes the best choice, Amar'e coming from the bench, at least acceptable to Amar'e and easier for the coach.

LeBron went to the locker room. I doubt it's anything serious, knowing him, but still it's not a good sign.

EDIT: Cool, seems like it was nothing.

He did tweak his ankle the last preseason game. He probably aggaravated it and just needed to readjust something.
