Well boys, the season is among us. I have already drafted my fantasy bball team and the preseason has finally started. Hawks Hawks Hawks!!!!!!!!!!! We should be able to get 50+ wins this year and really contend for the title.
Just to pump yall up:

haha...I dont mind it. Only interesting with playoff intensity though. There're just way too many games in the season. The more games there are, the less each individual game matters. Teams get hot and cold throughout the season and its impossible to tell how good a team is until its playoff time. Just look at last year: Celts start off with the best season start in NBA history (at 27-2), record the second longest winning streak in league history, and still get knocked out in the second round of the playoffs. Unlike football, its just not all that fun a game to watch without stakes attached...
Didnt mind seeing the Celts drop the Cavs to start off though...
I didn't know the season started. Just looked up the scores. Quality win for Wizards and bad loss for the Mavs. Boston winning at Cleveland was huge. Sending a message type of game. Houston and clippers sucks.

Hawks baby Hawks!!! We did work last night beating the Pacers 120-109. Our defense looked a bit suspect but hopefully that was just first game jitters. Joe, Al, and Josh all had big games and especially Al. He had 24 pts and 16 rebs. Kids a beast!

I've been a diehard Cavs fan since LeBron's sophmore year so :P. I've also been an avid follower of LeBron since his rookie year so there you go. I'm definitely not a bandwagoner.

Ok maybe bandwagoner was a bad choice. But why be a Cavs fan? Do you have any connection with Cleveland or anything? I always find it weird when people are fans of random teams. And btw, Hawks be doin work once again!!!

We (Mavericks) took a great win away in LA against the Lakers yesterday, great way to turnaround and silence the critics after our opening loss to the Wizards. Shawn Marion has slotted in perfectly to our running offense and I can't think of a better PG than Jason Kidd to run an offense in this way. Dirk Nowitzki picked up a solid double double while Jason Terry stepped up, and Ron Artest got his first tech foul in only hios 2nd game for the Lakers.
Playing the Clips today in LA again, hopefully we can play in a similar manner and come away with the W!

Good luck with that. We (the raptors) went from beating the Cleveland Lebron's to losing to Memphis something....

Of course..... Cause he REALLY wants to play in Atlanta, when Nets/Heat/Dallas and a ton of other team will try to get him. Lets not forget Toronto too.

You Said your a Cavs Fan
Harrington doesn't pass the ball he sucks ... only good when he doesn't shoot 3's
Gallo on the other hand
Brandon Jennings looks like a real player ... We didn't pick him drafted a bust in Hill
Will be a real different team next year ... No Harrington, No Duhon, No Nate
This year need Gallo to shoot 30 times a game, he's to unselfish he needs to shoot more

lol dude think about it, he's black. Why the hell would he not wanna come to the ATL. Not only are we an up and coming team with TONS of young talent, we have the best nightlife out of all those cities. A lot of NBA players call the ATL home during the offseason and now that we actually have a good team, ATL is gonna be a popular place to play. Hawks are building a dynasty man and Bosh could be the guy to really put us over the top.
PG-Bibby
SG- Jamal Crawford
SF- Josh Smith
PF- Al Horford
C- Chris Bosh
We'll make a sign and trade with you guys. Joe for Bosh.

Jamal Crawford used to be my favorite player. Maybe 2nd to LeBron. Maybe not. I was so sad to see him leave NY.

Atlanta has a better night life than Miami?
If you know where to go, TO has a crazy night life.
Knicks fan here, although I like the bulls and lakers too, not because I'm a bandwagoner but due to the fact tht I went to school in new york and lived/live in costa mesa/chicago long enough to become a fan. So my order of preference is a)knicks b)bulls c)lakers. Two teams I cannot stand are Spurs and Celtics, although the way Celtics are playing, I can easily see them surpassing LA and emerging as favorites to win it all. I hope n pray Knicks can sign LBJ and some other superstar in the summer of 2010 and become a legit contender. Not too worried about the Bulls, especially after their performance against the Spurs in their season opener. Rose is one of the best PGs in the league and they'll add one more superstar to the roster next summer.
