I'm a Kentucky fan so I'm excited to see how Davis does this year as a rookie with hopefully some added weight to his frame. I think the Pelicans (hate the change) made a good move going for Evans and Holliday but I still think it's the Heat's to lose. Didn't they acquire Greg Oden? Would love to see that guy get back to the court. I hate players getting career ending injuries, especially so young and above all, when they had such a bright future like Oden did/does

Oden isn't going to do anything until maybe next spring. We'd likely save him for a potential Indiana series with their size. Michael Beasley is the bigger signing although initially I believe James Jones replaces Mike Miller's spot as the backup 3pt shooting guard.

So, do you think LeOden will stay healthy long enough to see the LeHeat win the Title in one?

Renewed my league pass again this year. Going to try to follow the Rockets, Lakers+Clippers, Heat and this year Yummy's Bulls!!! (mainly to see of Drose can get back to his old form).
85% sure Miami will win it again this year, but my dark horse this year is going to be Houston.
But Drose looked pretty good in the first preseason game, still very explosive.... after having not played in over 14 months....

Did NOT know they got Beasley too. That's a heck of a 4 man to snag if he keeps his head on straight.

But injuries can still happen - knock on wood for Lebron, since he's never had any serious injury issues. However, LeWade is getting on in years and there are some powerhouse teams like: Indy, Brooklyn (maybe), Clips, San Anton and Houston that have a puncher's chance....
And if Drose gets back to MVP status then *****maybe***** the YumBulls... but that's gonna be a long shot...
Edit: And the Rocket's backup PG Patrick Beverly takes out another player: Tyreke Evans. Bev is the dude responsible for Westbrook's injury. Although both were unintentional accidents...

The differential in victory will just be reduced by 214124343 points. LeHeat will still go undefeated and win every game by at least 3453452 baskets without LeBron.

Rose should've retired. He has no chance at a Title. Born in the wrong era. He'll be the Dominique Wilkins of the 2000s.

failhard.
Rose looked back to his old self minus his rusty shooting. Charging into the lanes, ramming into opposing centers as usual while making impossible-looking layups. I'm pretty excited!
Javale McGee and Anthony Davis were beasts as well.
Patty "'Straya, cunts" Mills hit a game winner against Moscow yesterday, dude's jumper is smooth as hell.

^ So, you think the Bulls have enough to overtake even the Pacers? I see the Bulls as #3 in the Conference at best.

Since I don't know how Kobe will do, I'm neither here nor there with that ranking. His rank/grade is TBD for me. But as for the Lakers being 12th best in the west, I sincerely doubt that.

Jalen and Bill Simmons rated them a little bit better, but slightly missing the playoffs. Kobe is a determined player, but everybody needs help. If they can get Jim Buss out and Jeanie running things then im sure that things would run a bit better.
I wonder how long D'Antoni will this season before being fired.
#40
I can't predict when Kobe will be back...I think, given what we saw with Dwight's limited athleticism last year at the beginning of the year, Kobe will be less inclined to push it. Still, the fact that he's already where he's at is a crazy thing (apparently, he's running already).
