THE OFFICIAL NBA 08-09 SEASON DISCUSION THREAD

[king of the world]

The season is about to start in 10 days. so what teams are you guys looking forward to seeing this year?

i have been looking at the preseason and im really liking the Houston Rockets. they are going to be nasty this season because they just got ron Artest. so they got their big three now yao, t-mac, and artest. they got a lot of potential and they could possibly go far into playoffs. who knows.

Hope the Lakers do well, im not even sure if i can watch them right now im still mad about them loosing in the Finals. Houston will be a good one to keep an eye on. I want to see how he Trail Blazers do have Greg Oden back.

lakers,boston, and cleveland are playing amazing.

clippers, toronto, and philly are disapointing.


my team the rockets are not so bad although i thought they would have been better but they havent stayed healthy. i think if we get all our starters healthy than we will finaly get out of the first round for the first time in like forever. they cant say that tmac is 0-6 in the first round this year again. hopefully.

man i havent been on for a while but i noticed the sports section has been quiet:wtf:

im i like the only one that follows the nba?

[Its a Plant]

Nope you're not the only one. I've been following my Lakers with amazement this year! Would never believe they'd be 44-10 at this point.

I'm curious as well to see how the Bulls' trades will end up.

[GoldenBoy812]

Looks like Philly snook in, and Detroit got injured to falter my east predictions. Howard is a lock for DPOY IMHO. Utah is doing better than expected, and Phoenix is just your everyday underachiever....
