Calling all NBA fanatics

Georgie32 SG

Hi all,

I know this is the EPL generation but I am still crazy over the NBA even without MJ.
This season just started 2 days ago and I invite people as crazy as I am over basketball to join this topic and we can talk about the results.
(Very sian cos at my office everyone watched EPL and no one wants to discuss about NBA!)

Lets start with the 2 following topics

1. Anyone saw Grant Hill's stats for Orlando magic? Its amazing for a guy to come back with seemingly no rust after all the surgery. Compare him to Antonio Mcdyess of Detroit and you'll get my point. Think Orlando stand a chance in the East?

2. Is this the end of Sacramento Kings? They lost horribly to Spurs and before that to Dallas and both were by huge margin.

im not a NBA fanatic but i would rather sit down to watch NBA over EPL anyday.

Kings without Divac makes them weaker on the bench. Not much experience depth there with the exception of bobby jackson.

Pe.St. is now shooting very lousy :<

I agree that Peja is shooting horribly but the problem with him is he is a streak shooter. You have to play fast tempo and let him have many shots cos when he cools down, he may just lose the touch. To accomodate for Webber’s ankle and Bard Miller, king’s pace is a bit slower which affects his touch more. They have to work the chemistry out cos I don’t think Peja is going to excel in another team.

Still feel that Spurs are a force to be reckon with....
as for lakers... dun think they can do well this yr... Kobe seems to feel that he is the boss now... the rest of the posse has to listen to his orders...

Shaq joining Miami.. shd be easier for the Heat.. as the rest of the Eastern Conference teams have always been disappointing (bar Pistons n Pacers)..

Hope to see a Shaq VS Kobe Final.. but dun think will get the chance...

P.S. My Fav Player is Latrell Sprewell... this guy got the heart n he is the Speed Demon.. hahaha... when he dunk the ball... wah.. all his emotions come out... cool !!

Kops21 is a Celtics Fan since their days back with Larry Bird...Sigh...they have declined terrribly... Crying or Very sad

Although supporting Boston, in today NBA, i have a soft heart towards Spurs. Not particularly interested in what other teams is doing, but Spurs are practically with same team, should be able to do well. As for Celtics, Ainges have been hiring and trading, too much players movement. Getting to the playoff will be their aim again this year.

Cool

I support 2 teams
Kings becos of Webber and Wolves becos of Garnett.
If only these 2 can play in the same team (less All Star games) Mr. Green

Hi all,

Have anyone check out the Jazz? There haven't lost a game. Carlos Boozer is averaging double double with >20 points per game. And man, look at Kirilenko averaging more than 5 bloks per game !!!!!!!!!!! And he had 8 blocks against Denver and Lakers. He swatted Kobe twice and the ball almost went out of bound! I am a renewed jazz fan now. Just imagine if they get their PG back and a solid centre.

Team that I am dissapointed in is Rockets. Knew this would happen but love Yao and T-Mac. Hope things gets better with a real PG like Bob sura. Notice what happen to Sacto when Mike Bibby replaced Jason William?

Kobe isn't doing so bad and Dwae Wade is killing everybody. That kid can shoot!

Shaq's trade to Miami has transformed the Heat to major title contenders instantly. Miami vs Detroit Eastern Conference Finals looks very likely.

As usual,its a lot tougher in the West. San Antonio will still be favourites. But I won't rule the Lakers out,despite having an almost overhauled new team of players. Any team with Kobe Byrant must'nt be overlooked.

I agree that Houston has been disappointing. Im not the biggest fan of Yao Ming. He's really quite overhyped and over rated really. It will take him a lot more effort and time for him to replace ONeal as the leagues most dominant center. Im actually sceptical that the TMac Yao 2 punch will work out.

LeBron James.Boy wonder but not in the right team.0-3 in their first 3 games, I wonder how long Le Bron will stay in Cleveland. Confused

MR ak47 is a monster on defense, as the rate he is going, look4 him to be the best defensive player of the year..~! he can do everything on the court from offense to defense.. thats why jazz is rocking~!

kings?maybe they need sometime to get their rhythm back

Patrik SG

After Micheal Jordan,I dun watch NBA so often already..But one particular guy caught my attention.
His name is Vince Carter..

Gordonator SG

same here. perfer NBA over EPL anytime baby. Cool used to support the Bulls in the 90s. but now that Jordan left, i've no particular favourite team now, just enjoying the game.

arse-fan SG

Why Carter? He's flashy i agree, but he's not a great team player like Garnett Neutral
