Okay, no snarking here (so, none of the "LeHeating")...If that's the case, why is Dwightard at #3...? That guy's injured too?

i guess back injury isn't that bad compared to a ACL injury

I get what you mean. when i was @ the AAA, they were super anal about having a zoom lens and they gave people checking bags a tape measure to see how far the lens that is on the camera to zoom. Seriously? i literally had to do some switcherooery and sneak in my wide angle because we are only allowed the lens that is on the camera. I think its American Airlines that makes these douchebag rules.

In other news, Dirk Nowitzki got married in Kenya.



he looks really dorky in traditional Kenyan marriage attire.

...Yes, I'm intentionally trying to deflect any Lakers/Heat talk until the Lakers actually play the Heat.

Nonetheless, I'm excited about this season. I still think the Thunder and Heat are the teams to beat for sure. But you can't tell me you wouldn't be excited if your team got Dwight AND Steve Nash.

Even across the hall, the Clips are pretty stacked too....exciting times in LA...

Another fun, full season.

On another note, I heard the NFL replacement refs will finally return to their real jobs as NBA refs.

Even with replacement refs making bogus calls against the LeHeat, they will still win.


I expect them to go undefeated this year. First team to go 1.000 in the regular season.

As good as the Heat are though, Jeremy Lin's parents would be disappointed with a mere 1.000. They want 4.00+....

Rin's parents love the fact that he is now with a team with good luck colors. Their first choice was the heat though.

I can't lie. I can't wait to see the Heat get their rings before the Boston clerics game.

10 bucks saying they will bitch and stay in the locker room until its time to come out.

As a Laker fan, I'll enjoy it with you. Boston always had that foolish attitude (though none are worse than the Bad Boys leaving the gym and not shaking hands with MJ and the Bulls in 91).

Can we have some anti-whining rules? Don't enjoy LeWhine complaining so much esp. when his team is destroying everyone by 2342704124790707123047123461238946 points.

Some of the flops are easy to spot but in real time with everything the refs have to pay attention to I can see how they can miss some.

Those fines are ridiculous I think they should be much less than that and I know there are some calls that will be questionable even with replay.
