ekt_bear: King James will prevail again

IJN, amen

Not when the Lakers are packing the beat offensive team this year. But lets wait for the season to start first

Hard to look past the Heat in the East. Even with D.Rose back that Bulls team still don't look ready with tried and tested under-performers like Boozer and Deng! That team is deeper than the Heat so seeing them fall so badly at the first round in six games was a huge letdown
Celtics are still old their core of K.G,Paul Pierce (insert Jason Terry) are over 35

The Lakers and Thunder look like the only viable candidates to dethrone King James. If Dwight and Steve Nash stay healthy I dare say they would dethrone the Heat

I'm scared of the Lakers...I hope it takes them some time to gel. Or bad chemistry ruins their team.

Lakers and OKC are both scary teams...I am glad that LeBron is in the East

Oh be scared dude and remember that the Spurs are always a threat and they are always flying under the radar until they start picking pint you never knew of.
The only team I get scared of in the east is the Celtics. Any other team na wash

Celtics and Spurs are just too old.

Neither has a real shot imo

They might not have a shot but the Spurs have always been a suprises team.
Do we need a new thread for the new season or this one will do?

Just give it a new header

Okay. Immediately after the first game, I will

Harden to Houston.

Cray

ekt_bear: Harden to Houston.

Cray

great

You knew that OKC would have to deal either Ibaka or Harden I guess Harden's no show at the Finals aided their decision. Kevin Martin is not a bad replacement he could score in bunches off the bench and is a much smoother scorer than James Harden

HEAT cant be very happy about this,

Lakers getting an easy road to the FINALS

LEBRON DISAPPEARED IN 2011 FINALS AND YOU DIDNT SEE THE HEAT TRADE HIM.

With the Mavs and Spurs around, it ain that easy. But I am giving it to them

r231:

LEBRON DISAPPEARED IN 2011 FINALS AND YOU DIDNT SEE THE HEAT TRADE HIM.

And they were right not to

Trade LeBron?? Hahahaha come on man James Harden aint no LeBron I'm not a LeBron fanboy but come on which GM would trade LeBron?

So long as the Lakers can work out some chemistry I believe not even the Heat can stop them

True.
But I worry about cohesion in the Lakers

They also have a Mike Brown who doesn't really coach good offense

Brown is crap

I wish Phil Jackson can come back for just one season with this group

I just hope he knows how to use the weapons at his disposal

Nash
Kobe
Metta World Peace
Gasol
Howard

The bench is dodgy but Duhon,Blake and Jamison are decent

let's see after the first 10 games

10-0 start

My thirst for the new season would be satisfied on Tuesday, am so glad the NBA is back.

Am looking forward to my team (the Celtics) competing favourably in the east, am very optimistic about our chances, J. Green is back and additions like C. Lee, J. Terry and Barbosa and rookies J. Sulinger and F. Melo excites me, am very confident we can challenge the heats for that conference.

Watch out Queen James, its going to be different this time around!!!!!!

Hey guys, lets try to keep this thread alive..
