So much for my Clippers finally coming out of the Lake show shadow. LOL It's okay, they are both my fave teams.

Lakers VS. MIAMI OMG that's like 10 all stars put together and 5 hall of famers!

consolidation of 'wealth' running rampant in league. not sure it's a terrible thing, but that may be contingent on shortening regular season and contracting a few teams. NBA in a great place though right now in terms of national interest.

sbnation that's why I like NBA perhaps even with its issues. I am using this exercise system that's used even by NBA players - "50inchvertical [dot] com" - I already jump few ins higher and being more impactful on the court!

Make no mistake. This isn't 04 with Malone an Peyton. That team had Kobe going to Colorado all the time for his case, Peyton being too selfish, and chemistry issues. This year's team doesn't have any of that. I remember all the "analysts" saying Nash was great for the offense but bad for the defense(which is true) but they said Dwight fixes all of that cause of the presence he brings. Now that they have him. They make more excuses. This year's team will be something special. You all watch

Meh. I think you'll get loads of questions.

I'm hugely excited for the start of the season. I can't wait to watch this team and I'm a Bulls fan.

Sometimes it doesn't work. Bryant, O'neill, Malone and Payton tried it and did not get the ring although did go far in the payoffs. I don't agree with a shortened regular season. That would cripple all time stats and warp total stats. One would never how new players would do in comparison to legends in relation to stats.
