I'm more into college basketball. I don't religiously watch the NBA until a little before the playoffs. (to tell tha truth...after march madness)

The NBA season is too long to hold my attention, they're too many meaningless games. the NBA season begins like the end of october right? Well this is when college football is going on strong. And when that's over it's time for CB. I just like college sports in general more than professional.

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot.....Detriot Pistons.....Rip Hamilton....WHAT, YEEEEAH!!!!!....repeat. :D

ic, and yeah season starts at the end of october. i havent watched too many college basketball games though (even though i wanted to) since i dont have the channels and my "illegal directv" to watch college games anymore. but i do watch professional sports more than college. as for the nba i only follow three nba teams really....the raptors, lakers and the blazers.

ahahaha.
1) damn, thats possible. hate to admit it but Pistons could highly win it again
2) ahaha, lakers arent totally garbage...they got good backups...sorta. but yeah kobe's been doing too many stupid things *sigh*
3) lol, yeah i heard about that. i doubt that trades gonna happen....no one wants vince nowadays.

ok Vince Carter will get hurt for at least 20 games, guaranteed. Lakers are garbage now that shaq is gone. miami will make playoffs but not be a serious finals contender. I would leave New Jersey if i was jason kidd. and it'd be awesome if Peja Stojakovic went to the bulls (my fav team :p)

lol, lakers really did a mess by dismanteling one of the best teams ever created :(

ummm, if it werent for Tim Duncan...Vince wouldnt have this knee problem and be hated by almost everybody then probably the raptors could have won a championship (in my dreams ahaha). lol, NJ turned from contenders to the crappy team they were b4 Kidd was even there. Peja going to Chicago isnt actually a bad idea...but i the dudes under contract, but i know there could be a deal made

i'm sure paxson will work something out ;) lol i don't think the raptors would have won a championship. sure they have vince carter but he really doesn't have a solid supporting cast

yeah, paxson does have some good tradable players to get peja. most like someone like eddy curry or any other players they picked up in the draft/trades. carter doesnt have the supporting players needed, but i say the rosters good enough to make a run to the playoffs since their in a weaker division this time around.

09-23-2004, 09:55 PM
yea that's true, the divisions do split up now that the bobcats have been added. the raptors could very well be playoff bound. the bulls got some good rookies i think... i'd trade eddie curry and maybe keep tyson chandler

Wave
09-23-2004, 10:09 PM
yeah, sounds good. some teams might be interested in curry cuz of his strength and ablility to get to the rim. the bobcats, cant wait to see them play...i know they'll probably loosing lots of games at first but thats expected of them since they're new

the grizzlies went through it, and so will the bobcats. i wanna see how ameka okafor will turn out as well

I'm from North Carolina so that whole Charlotte thing was stupid as hell. I hate that the stupid owners of tha Hornets left over some thing as stupid as a few luxury boxes in a new stadium....which the Bobcats are getting anyway. I would much rather have the Hornets over a freakin expansion team.

I have two mates in the U.S. who are diehard ticket-holders for the Utah Jazz. I'm quite new to NBA Basketball; I've only followed representative basketball over here and wouldn't mind a keen eye on club basketball for a change.

For the thread creator/moderators in here: can you please rename this thread to "The Official BleachForums Basketball Thread"?

Cheers,
Scrum
