All talk of the current NBA season, including whos hot, whos not, whos winning, whos losing and all around Laker hating should go here.

Everything except for that Pacers-Pistons fans fight, which will sadly be the highlight of the entire season.

Oh yeh did u see ron artiest bunch that fan straight in face then he slipped...Jermaine o'neal also king hit someone...

I'm rootin' for Dallas to win this year. They're pretty good right now and have great players like Stackhouse, nowitzki, finley etc.

K G, I mean the T wolves are on fine form as expected and will advance in the playoffs. I'm not confident enought to predict that they'll make it to the finals. But if they avoid any serious injuries, they have a very good chance to make it to the finals. C'mon Wolves.

Btw, last I checked, KG was averaging +20 pts, +16 rebs & 6-7 assists per game

Who's your fav. player? Mine is probably Nash or Nowitzki

Lmao Artest is crazy! That made me laugh soo hard...
And he`s big time suspended...but like I care.
Go Kings!!!

OMG, you're a Kings fan?

You trully are the female version of me. Soulmates.
Kidding.

But yea, I'm a die hard Kings fan.

Remember last year Josh? Damn the Wolves! You know we shoulda went on to win

mines artest now. any player dumb enough to do that only solidifies my idea that basketball is not a team sport, but a sport of indiviuals looking after themselves.

That`s pretty amazing! Soulmate
I love Kings! I used to be all basketballl... ..but now I tune in once in a while...And I`ve liked Kings for quite a time..especially when Stojakovic started rocking the boat! Not to mention Bibby, one of my favourites as well.
BTW I`ll never forgive Divac..I love him cuz since I saw him in person and he looked like a friggin giant..cool guy tho. He donates alot to charities and stuff...but he betrayed Kings! For LAKERS!!!!
NBA is so different this year..every damn team changed... including my precious Kings..I hope they do good this year.

BTW Shaq left Lakers too... :|
It was only in my blood to hate the duo: Kobe and Shaq. Things changed tho.

Oh yes, I remember. Same thing will happen again this year, that is, we'll go on to win and you'll be disappointed. Wolves are looking even stronger this year. Though Cassell seems to have some motivational issues. They're not actually playing that well right now but we keep winning. Just wait until we start firing on all cylinders.

I guess time will show.
You aren`t doing so good...and Kings won 5 games in a row-I believe.

I watch as much as I can, which is quite a lot.

Speaking of Stojakovic, he's my favorite player. When I used to live in Greece, he played for PAOK (team from Thesalloniki) and I used to go to their games all the time. He was my favorite player even back then. He was just as amazing over there.
He came to the U.S. around the same time I moved here. When he moved to the Kings, I moved with him And then I started supporting them and have ever since.
Bibby is great too, especially in the playoffs. He really turns it on then.



Only KG looks good this year (what's new eh?). Wally at times too. Cassell and Spre are not the same as last year but it's only the beginning. We'll see.

Kings started awful (but they played three of the best in the West) and are now winning games again.
Steve Kerr predicted us to finish 10th Yea, we'll see. I know we'll make the playoffs, at least.

OmG that`s so freaky. I love u man!
Stojakovic is such a pimp, the king of 3 pt-ers...I`ve loved that guy since I saw him play...but he looks way better shaven. BTW his wife is greek right?

LOL. I love you too

Yea, best three point shooter in the NBA I'd say although he's off to a slow start this season. Pure scorer.

Yea, his wife is Greek I believe (Aleka Kamila). She's a model.


She looks good

What's new? Wally is fully healthy and playing more like his 'old' self. Spre is doing fine. He's averaging 11. Not quite as good a last year, but he provides good chemistry & spark for us still. Cassell is a problem right now, but Troy Hudson is better on defense and can be as potent on offense...not as consistently as Cassell was last year. But I think Sam I am will come around. Expectations are high and they all just need to get back to the fundamentals. The biggest improvement for the wolves is Eddie Griffin. We needed more inside muscle and he's helping with that a lot.

Our problem right now is Defense but that can be improved. Just a matter of effort. We're 6-4. It's a long season. If Cassell gets whatever his problem worked out, we'll be flying high again. Also, our opening 10 games have been against solid competition (except for New Orleans)....of course, everyone in the west faces that depth, and all are losses were to good teams:

New York Win 99-93 1-0 Garnett 28 Garnett 20 Cassell 11
Denver Loss (OT) 92-94 1-1 Garnett 25 Garnett 15 Garnett 7
New Orleans Win 99-92 2-1 Garnett 29 Garnett 15 Garnett 4
Indiana Loss 101-102 2-2 Garnett 22 Garnett 10 Garnett 8
at Houston Win 96-91 3-2 Garnett 20 Garnett 17 Garnett 9
Miami Win 108-97 4-2 Garnett 25 Garnett 21 Garnett 8
at Detroit Loss 85-93 4-3 Garnett 24 Sprewell 24 Garnett 13 Cassell 5
at New Orleans Win 99-94 5-3 Griffin 23 Garnett 12 Garnett 5
at Dallas Win 83-82 6-3 Garnett 21 Garnett 17 Garnett 9
Seattle Loss 92-103 6-4 Szczerbiak 16 Garnett 16 Garnett 14 Garnett 6

It's early. Plenty of games to be played before the playoffs. Seeding in the west doesn't mean much anyway because the teams are so even. So get to the playoffs and let it roll.

Oh she looks really pretty.
Damn it..why are all the proffessional athletes married!?

Yea she does.

Why? Are you planning on marrying a professional athlete but there's none left?

Haha maybe!
lol jk...
Well actually after I heard that Kaka was gettin married to a 16 year old model...I almost cried..he was the closest player to my age.
I gave up lol.

LOL

Wow, Kaka is marrying a 16-tear old? A bit young I think, but he's not an old geezer.

BTW, exactly how old are you? 16, 17?

Yeah I`m around 16..I guess I`m still young.
What about u?
But his gf is really pretty! She`s gorgeus..I think she`s one of the prettiest footballer's girlfriends.

*cough* *cough* *cough* I thought this thread was about basketball.

Yes of coarse..lol.
Go Kings!

I'm 17.

Yes, she's quite beautiful. He's a lucky guy.
Since we're gettin on the old man's nerve's (haha sorry Josh ), we can talk on MSN or AIM.

Sorry about going off topic...GO KINGS!

1 more thing: He`s beautiful too.

Go Kings! lol

The hell have you all done to my basketball thread?

oh well

as always

Go Lakeshow!

You forgot to say Go Kings.

I see Kid a is in the house. Sucks to be a lakers fan.

Sucks to be a Lakers fan? ha! sucks to be a Pacers fan, All the Lakers really need is Kobe, but just watch how we pick up somebody midseason and stop losing alltogether.

Also, check out the Pistons, lost against the Bobcats and last I checked they were going down on the Cavs.

TOO TRUE. LMAO. Pacemakers now.





Well, the lakers had Kobe & Shaq last year....and Malone and ze Glove....etc. Has Kobe figured out how to pass the ball yet? Until he learns to truly play team ball, I wouldn't want him on my team.

Kobe is one selfish player...lmao obviously.
But he`s good...give da ball to the greedy good kid.
But he`s a molester too

sp dating services cost 19.99 per minute.. pay up.

well im a lakers fan. 4 life. doesnt matter whos in thegoddamn team. but i used to love the way they play. when magic was there, i mean they just used to run you out of the arena and it was like end-to-end. kinda like a madrid-man u game . i just love any team that reallly pushes it and plays an offensive-style game. even though i was a lakers fan, i used to love the way the kings played. when j-will was there, holy crap. that team sucked big time but they put on a show. and then last year and b4 last year they had so many weapons. go inside to miller, kick it out to peja or bibby. knocking down threes like it was childs play. same with dallas. and now teams are concentrating more on defense and clogging up play than actually running the game. its creeping into so many sports now, its frustrating. whatever, GO KOBE. as long as we got him, SHOWTIME WILL ALWAYS RESIDE IN STAPLES.

T-Wolves 121
Sacked Kings 110

IN SACRAMENTO he he he


I didn't actually watch the game (was on vacation in Vermont at the time). But a very nice win. Would be great to square off against the Kings in the Playoffs again...there aren't really any easy western playoff series anyway...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

damn the kings aint doing that good as i was expecting...
my other team the suns has been doing very well

and to my surprise seattle really heated things up...

plus nba is fun to watch nowadays... high scoring games are back...

OMG!! Nowitzki scored 53 p. when dallas beat houson in OT.

Why not? I`m pretty impressed with Stojakovic.

BTW I used to dislike Lebron James..but that`s over..the guys is AMAZING.

now that is the team i support

and btw nowitzki is a freaking goddam stud

Nowitski is a great player and he ALWAYS kills the Wolves.

Look at that .. yes nowitzki is great

I'd still rather have KG. KG beats Nowitski in most of those stats.

who is kg?

sorry for being ignorant

Kevin Garnett

yeah garnett's good..

but i like mavericks so nowitzki is the man

Nowitzki iz a total killer...he`s amazing!

Anyone catch the Rockets vs Spurs game?

Im from Houston..i was going crazy..and its almost certainly a record. T-mac scored 17 pts in .52 seconds..it was friekin craazzzzy!!!

You mean 52 seconds???

0.52 seconds, that's got to be impossible.

5.2 seconds, that seems impossible to me.

52 seconds, that would be freakin' un believable but I could see it if he drained a bunch of threes and got some ft's too.

Great. Another Mavs fan. That's what we need here in SP.

hmmm... does everyone support big teams here? Mavs, T-Wolves? Kings?

oh well Im a Celtics fan!

Pierce, The Glove, etc etc!

GO BOSTON!!

That game (Houston vs. San Antonio) was CRAZY!!

Spurs were looking like they're gonna win it, but then T-Mac decided to take over. Yes, 17 points in about 52 seconds. Reggie Miller-esque stuff
One of the most amazing come-back wins in the history of the NBA, definetely.

Kings are still doing well, but we can't seem to beat Minnesota Argghh! KG always has monster games when he plays Sac-Town, but then again he almost always has a monster game

Hey Natasa, it's weird but I hated Lebron last year. I don't know why, he kinda reminded me of Kobe at the time (arrogant brat). But the kid is amazing, and nothing like Kobe. He shares the ball, steps up when he needs to, and is leader at only 19 years of age. I've become a big fan of his. Because of him, the Cavs are leading their respective division and players like Drew Gooden have become very solid. His stats are amazing: 25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.5 steals, 1 block All that while shooting 50% from the field. Amazing stuff.
The Cavs are my "eastern team". I only support the Kings, but we all have to have 1 team from the opposing conference.

BTW, is anyone in the Yahoo NBA Fantasy Sports league? I've got my team and have a private league with a couple of friends. Sort of like the uefa.com Champion's League Fantasy football. (I have both LeBron and Nowitzki who are both ranked in the top 3 )
