Cav and pistons battle in the central

Heat

Mavs

Warriors and Clippers

Suns

I hope people sleep on my Pistons!!!!!!

Spurs

These teams will always be strong.

The Bulls are gonna hate it when it's crunch time and Ben is on the line. We miss Ben but now we have 5 players on offense, not 4 against 5.

[Izreal]

I'm just excited about the season starting up again. I mean I'm a die hard G-men fan but ball is where my heart is!

[R-ILLA]

Your scared.. :D... ;)
Of the Baby Bulls..........Nah. Only if THE TRUTH came back in his prime with Craig Hodges and them other classics.

[dmac2brown46]

orlando will win their division...BOOK IT! theres no way shaq can stay healthy all season long like he did last year nd wade is injury prone....magic = contender...:D

[CP]

Being a Raiders fan I am so glad the NBA is back. :D

First off, why is everyone picking Cleveland to finish 1st in the East? Dont they have the same exact team as last year?

The NBA is getting progressively worse each and every year because dudes cant do the fundamentals mainly shoot *cough* AI and LeBron *cough* *cough*, then they drive the basket every play allah a Dwyane Wade and the refs calll a foul every play. It gets to a point where it becomes unwatchable. Whoever is the biggest star, the refs top off to no end. Thats why I didnt even watch the finals, and thats why the NBA gets no ratings for the most part

Agreed...

There are very few teams who are fundementally sound.

Bulls
Pistons

Um.......

Bulls
Pistons...........:confused:

Actually.. thats it.. The bulls and the pistons are the only two fundemental teams... Uhg.. :(

Oh.. wait and the spurs. ;)

[dbscott1]

I dont understand you guys just overlooking my Hawks. We picked up Speedy Claxton to run the point and Joe is a balla. We added Lorenzen Wright to shore up the middle of the Defense and help ZsaZsa.

We looking at a playoff spot.:D

Proof??.. I think we all need to see it...

Good luck. :) I hope they do well they have been down and out for a while.

Sorry buddy Lorenzen Wright does not shore up your middle. He clogs up your middle yes but that's about it. I do like the Speedy signing even though you wouldn't have had to if you drafted Chris Paul in the first place but that's for another thread. Moving Joe to the 2 is a good look.

[QBStokes4]

Bulls over Mavs

King James as MVP

[CP]

The Heat will once again win a title with the aid of the referrees

[Bearfanmike20]

Good point.. I forgot about that... LOL

Ya.. dwade had the nerve to ***** the whole bulls series cause he was getting fouled... :rolleyes:

[dmac2brown46]

no love for my magic, yall are ridin the heat but magic will win that division!!!!!!!!!

[Bearfanmike20]

They need to prove it....

90.1 ppg is a good start... Def is what will be needed to unseed mia.

The bulls by the way are giving up and east conf best 87.1 ppg. :D

I Love Def.!!!

A Star player is what its gonna take because you cant touch anyone without a foul being called especially Mr Free Throw himself

[killacs]

I'm a little late on this but I'm sure CP can guess what my answer is, Heat win the Finals and D Wade takes home the reg season MVP trophy.

[Gtrght77]

The Heat do not win the finals. They will be lucky to make it to the finals actually.


The winner of the Finals will be from the west, It should be between the Spurs or the Suns.

[dbscott1]

Spurs....

but there are about 10 teams that can win it which is good for the NBA. Are you listening MLB.

[killacs]

Whats wrong with the Heat again? Same supporting cast better D Wade.

[Gtrght77]

They should have never won it last year, the team is ancient.

[CP]

They should have never won it last year, the team is ancient.

You have to keep in mind that the referrees work for them. You seem to forget that

[sling]

I dont understand why so many people are putting Cleveland as the first seed, that makes no sense what so ever.

Im not gonna go seed by seed but I really thing that the top 4 teams in no order are the Heat, Bulls/Mavericks, Suns.

[killacs]

Don't hate. And besides Wade won't need to drive as much with that new found jump shot.

[CP]

I know not of what you speak

[Sirro712]

i agree with the guy way up top wade wants another one and he will find a way to get another one for himself

Nba finals: Heat

[Gtrght77]

He wont find another ref that will call fouls on every drive the makes to the rim. What makes Wade better all of a sudden? Shaq and company arent going to be as effective.

I beg to differ. You do realize that this is the NBA right?

[mightypharaoh]

I just love how so many folks are sleeping on the Spurs when they won 63 games last year and Tim wasn't healthy all season.

I do expect outlandish seasons from Kobe and LBJ. But I don't see either winning the MVP unless their teams finish 2nd in the conference.

[R-ILLA]

G420 and CP?

Here we go again. Shakes head and walks out the room.

You know what my biggest issue with the star referee treatment is this.

You have L. James the most hyped person to ever come into the NBA. The star was born before the skeet even hit the floor. Now I will admit he gets away with more Carrying than anyone (yes I know every player travels these days) but his ball handling is not all that good....you wouldnt know that from the fans though. Anyway all Im trying to say is that if they wanted to MAKE someone champ dont you think it would be him. It was KB24 but he burnt his image.

[Bearfanmike20]

I cannot wait till tomorrow.. chi vs mia... The bulls have revenge on there mind... the heat.. will be blinded by there bling.. I think the bulls make a statement on national tv. :D

[dmac2brown46]

orlando will win their division...BOOK IT! theres no way shaq can stay healthy all season long like he did last year nd wade is injury prone....magic = contender...:D
