man the Kings suck. Gotta love Kmart 2. He was scoring even though NO tried to contain him and when they did the twins from the rec leaugue (Garcia and Salmons) chipped in. Peja lookes good though.

blue edwards had that child custody case, stu jax would play bibby, shareef, mike d and the rest of the starters for three quarters straight, and they’d be dead tired by the time it was the last 4 mins of games, and lose that way. the franchi$e thing also hurts. then again, drafting big country also hurts. west got traded to the grizz, then became an alcoholic in an air port bar. it’s a shame that the nba players had trouble living in vancouver . . . according to charles oakley, 60% of the L would have had some good reasons to enjoy living there.

Well, I’m from British Columbia and I ain’t know Hockey fan, I’ve always loved basketball. I was bent when the Griz left town, I even had Blue Edwards Jersy, a Blue Edwards jersy, yeah I thought he was the man lol. Anyway, the Raps need some muscle in the paint, guys who are willing to bang for broads and defend the paint.

Anyway, last year, I thought they improved on their Defense, Barni was getting beat at times, but atleast he showed more potential than Dirk on defense. As for leafs, I have no idea how they are doing, my channel is always on Raptors TV. Hoop Dreams exist here too, so stop hatin and lets us in.

Sixers aren’t going to make much noise this season, but they can beat some good teams like how Memphis did that last season. No one expects them to have good pieces, but they can beat teams that over-look them. Raps almost got beat last night.

Raps can score and score and score, defense happens to be an afterthought, but how is that any different than with the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Washington Wizards or Denver Nuggets? (yeah, camby is on the nuggles,but that’s a team that still gave up 58 points to seattle in the first half) Last I checked all of those teams made the playoffs last season.

People calling out other peoples’ fan bases is weak. (because generalizations and absolutes are always faulty) Enjoy the game, and if you are part of the media, then report the game. HoopsTV started out repping the unheralded. If I wanted to go read articles that act like 2/5th of the L doesn’t even exist I’d read and post on things like ESPN and so forth.

The Atlantic division is going to be really good to watch this season.

All I gotta say is brown stop talkin dat smack ( no pun intended) bout raps fans not being real ball fans. I’ve been wit dis team thru thick and thin and I am a hoops junkie. I agree we still got to work on our weaknesses, but its a long season with a few more new faces. No doubt we wil be in the playoffs this year.

Again for the Griz. Kyle makes a big difference, but Damon looked dialed in too! But again Manuel Ginobli shows and proves who’s the Spurs real go to guy in the clutch, dude is a tough cover. What happened to Darko’s moxie after the first quarter? Pau looked really soft too often, I never really saw it before when people would say it, but some of his attempts were begging to be blocked.

Nuggets didn’t look fantastic to me. They looked like a team too confident in their Offense and would relax and watch layups happen. Iverson line was what he does and doesn’t get enough credit for. People ride other guys as being stat stuffers, when Iverson scores so much his other states go unappreciated. Melo could have had 50 if he wanted to break a sweat.

If PJ knows what’s best for him Earl would be coming off the bench, but I can see his reasoning. The nuggets and suns tonight have bigger guards coming off the bench than starting, but West has to get more time. Jeff Green looked gun shy and a little tentative. I want to see how he and Durant plays tonight. It’s great waiting for Durant’s breakout game, when he just gives someone 40 and leads his team. Last night he had a snare until Melo went to work on him on the other end, but I like that he had that in him.

Why was Bogut trying to get physical with Dwight at first? Later in the game you could clearly see Bogut realized the truth of it all. Also Bogut and Jameer were talking trash to each other, wonder what that’s about…Wow fancy that Reshard Lewis can score in the NBA and look unguardable…Bogans deserves to start and he did a good job on Redd, while knocking down a couple threes. But i didn’t like the lack of production from Dooling, Arroyo, and Ariza. Hopefully it gets better with time…

That Kobe trade as reported sounds pretty wack for everyone but the Bulls…I thought LA’s big thing was star power and entertainment. Artest and Big Ben are great players, but they aren’t selling tickets…

What’s the over under on the Heats Pistons game. Pistons by 15?

the raps D is need of some serious help. They can score with anyone but can’t stop anyone. What the team needs is an enforcer type player with some toughness. Cause it seems teams are not afraid to come down the lane at will.
