Boston at Cleveland opening night with no baseball to conflict me.

I'm hoping Ron Artest can do for the Lakers what Milton Bradley did for the Cubs. That team is loaded. Also I hate them.Maclowery wrote:One thing I love about the NBA is how exciting the weeks before the season are, as people try to guess how the offseason moves will affect teams. In the east, the big 3 teams all seem to have made improvements or corrections specifically for the post season. The west? Jeez, I have absolutely no idea. After the Lakers, I could see arguments for four or five teams having a chance at 58+ wins.
I'll be rooting for my Bulls, but I hope I get to watch a few Orlando games, they're my new probably-gonna-be-fun-to-watch team for this season, assuming Vince can still score.

My interest in the NBA and my team, the Bucks, will last about a week until it's obvious that they will once again be horrible. Brandon Jennings does look like he'll be fun to watch, however.

Re: 2009-2010 NBA Season
It's a weird situation for me.
I have never liked Kobe. At all. I respect his play. I still hate him. I also respect Phil Jackson for jumping on to two pre-made winners and dominating with them.
Anyway. I pretty much dislike every player, individually, on the current Lakers roster. I didn't like Gasol before he was there, since he's just not fun to watch. Odom is kind of whatever for me. I have always borderline despised Derek Fisher. Luke Walton is my favorite Laker.
Here's the wrench: I have always liked Ron Artest. I don't know why. He's psycho. He's a clubhouse cancer. But damnit, he's so much fun to watch on the court - at least on D. I dont' know what they'll do on offense, but with him and Kobe, I have no idea how any backcourt player, even LeBron, will score against that team. They're just sick.

In my experiences, you can find examples of just about anything. To me, Gasol and Nowitski are outliers not the norm.st.lewis11 wrote:I imagine a majority of teams would lone to have Pau Gasol or Dirk Nowitskiphinstd wrote:I'm a big Pistons fan, and that draft will forever haunt me.
