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

I'm a big Pistons fan, and that draft will forever haunt me. We could have had Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dewayne Wade and we chose Darko Milicic. I've never been a fan of taking the Euro's that high, as they seem to be really soft when they get to the states.
I imagine a majority of teams would lone to have Pau Gasol or Dirk Nowitski

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.
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.

I probably follow the Sixers more than any other team outside of the Bulls.

(didn't go at the same time, but I did with this guy...):

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.

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.

Yeah it's easy to grab two names and just make a point with them.

Bargnani. Darko.

There, I just did it too.
