NBA starting up, winter is close

I'm pulling for the CAVS this season. Lebron seems to be one of the few positive things this city's got going for it.

Unfortunately it looks like the Jazz are going to continue to suck. Somebody please buy the team from Larry H Miller.

I predict the Kings will self destruct this season.
Drunk coach + Ron Artest = suspensions galore!

I'm going to write this down here so it can be referred to at a later date.

Pistons = Eastern conference champions.

The loss of big ben is not as great as people are making it out to be. PLUS, has anyone seen Jason Maxiell play this preseason??? The dude is a STUD.

That is all.

Thanks to shmerham, I got to see Brandon Roy play in his first NBA game tonight...and take it to the Sonics. Rookie of the year candidate for sure.

hell yeah! 20 pts in his first game! they won't win a ton this year, but they have lots of good young talent... i'm excited!

Respect the Blazers, they are going to be the suprise....
At least thats what Im hoping for

Roy looks capable of helping them make the playoffs, but I'm guessing this will still be a proverbial "rebuilding" year.

In other news, the Sonics need to buy some defense.
