It begins...
BB season starts tonight and I am feeling pretty good.
Barring injury, the Spurs will take it again and get their 1st repeat. Most people see Miami going and I like Indiana (in the East), but Artest will make or break their season. The Show will make the playoffs and depending on Kwame and their position, might make to the 2nd round. Kobe for league MVP. Next year the trades start and a Max player then or in 07. We are ranked 17th in this poll and that seems about right. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...son/index.html

Man, that's sweet to get tix to the home opener. Phoenix will truly test what the Lakers are made of although it will be a little easier with the lack of Amare. I'm going to stay the loyal Kings fan that I am and say that they will GO ALL THE WAY...to the Playoffs. Whether they go further than first round remains to be seen. Oh well, that's being a true sports fan. Here's to hoping... I also am a fan of KG although I'm not expecting a whole lot from Minnesota. And I LOVE Ron Artest. LOVE that guy!  |

You should have seen me trying to type his name. It took several attempts before I yelled "Uncle" and just Cut and Pasted.

I don't think anyone could dethrone the Spurs except themselves.
BTW the Lakers will not make the playoffs and will finish below my Clippers.

I hope we're all still posting here in '06, '07 to see how these predictions panned out.
I still don't see the Lakers getting back to the top any time soon. That max player in '07? Just don't see any candidates out there...

An NBA player signing a contract means something? Lol. Max $$$$ + Chance to play for title + Living in L.A. = lots of choices, including KG, JK, AS, LJ & YM.  |

Haven't we gone thru this before? Kobe's there! No one wants to play with him... I will say this, Laker fans are quite the optimists. And good for a few laughs, too... |

Every few years people say the same thing and every few years we go deep into the playoffs and into the finals. Even you are not so dense as to think that my equation is off. Kobe's attitude would only be a problem with someone who had the same... KG and several other max players would work very well with Kobe and Phil and you know this. |

Come on, you know from our previous conversations that I'm in DC and that I follow the Wizards. I don't have any unrealistic expectations though. I know the Wiz have some shortcomings and won't challenge in the East. The same exact thing can be said about the Lakers; just change "East" to "West". Lakers have a chance to return to glory when they move Kobe and start from scratch. Until then, they've got no chance. |

2. The only way you're getting Amare is if it turns out he's never going to recover from his injury (which would be tragic, because he's really fun to watch...one of my favorite players). 3. If LeBron leaves, it ain't gonna be to LA. I'd believe that he could end up in NY, but not LA. I think there's a greater chance of him being a Clipper. 4. Yao's in Houston to stay. If Van Gundy can't make that team a winner, they don't trade Yao, they ditch JVG. 5. What the hell could the Lakers offer for Garnett? Kwame?  |

Hahahaa. Lakers will be waiting a while. I believe you can take YM and AS off that list. Come next year, you can probably take LJ off that list too. Actually, as long as Mitch is GM, none will come to town. |

Heat looked good tonight. I can't shake the feeling we'd be better off without GP, though.

Basketball does not interest me whatsoever. I would rather watch golf or the olympics.

THat was a great shot. But I loved it more because he did it in DENVER!!! I hate how the fans there just boo him because he was on trial there. But that's their deal and Kobe showed them his
