Hopefully it doesn't get worse than tonight blown out by Rockets and Julius Randle breaks leg it's going to be a long season.

Well, think of the Lakers like how the Bulls were when MJ finally left...If anything, about time LA tasted what a rebuild is like.



So...SUCK IT UP, PRINCESS!

Hating the Heat is so last year.


I've moved on. See? I'm capable of change.

Back to his Raptor days? Possibly. I'd say high teens PPG guy? 18-19 PPG?

Better than his Raptor days overall as a player. At least Wade will have big nights too so he doesn't HAVE to drop 25.

-So this is what you guys go through....gawd my lakers are going to suck. Kobe actually looks good, but the rest of em are . Fire d'Antoni and we get Mike Brown II (and Byron was my favorite player growing up).

-FWIW, please tell me you heat guys think all this Cleveland crap is over the top. Its like Jesus came back.

-I like Chicago a little more than Cleveland in the East.

-Miami is still pretty damn good...I hope Bosh does exceptionally well ... he's on my fantasy squad.

Honestly, they can celebrate however they want. Lebron's quote about this being one of the biggest sports moments was kind of foolish though but he tends to stay stupid shit. I didn't see the game but heard some on the radio. It was reminiscent of game 1 2010 with Miami and everyone kind of learning each other and being courteous with the ball. Although the NBA gave us a very good Celtics team opening night and the Cavs get a horrible broken Knicks team coming off a game the night before at home.

The memes were pretty good.

^^whenever I see an injury now, my first reaction isn't "Oh, that sucks", its "who's his backup so I can pick him up on my fantasy squad".

The Clippers struggled against a depleted OKC squad and just squeaked out a win very surprising with all the talent they have.

I like the Bulls. Love how Pau fits in...sure he gets called soft, but the things he does for a team on and off the court are pretty noteworthy. He's like instant chemistry. Always a good laker, and he looks like a great bull.

Can't sleep on the cavs though, they'll get their act together.

He's an upgrade over Boozer...period. While Gasol is not known for his D, it still is better than what Boozer had and his height/size compliments well with Noah's.

This is a better Bulls squad than last year and I like what I've seen from the bench so far. At least for ONE night, the offense did not dry up like an Ethiopian drought...but, that may have heaps to do with the Knicks being absolute turd.
