heat fuckin suck

I wouldn't count that game as what the future is looking for Miami or Chicago. But I still think people are not giving the Bulls enough respect and I don't think Miami will repeat.

Lakers made a nice come back but Mike D'antoni should of put the lakers away but he benched the starters up by like 15 in the 2nd qtr and they were hot should of extended the lead before resting them. Bynum played good and Odom stepped up. The lakers still need another scorer they should get Jalen Rose.

Miami won't look good in the regular season, but as long as they got Shaq and Wade, they will be able to go deep into the playoffs. I don't see them repeating though. Not very surprised what the Bulls did because they gave the Heat problems last year in the playoffs and this team has a good bench.

MR & Asian Player didn't think Miami would win the title last year either

AND WE ALL SAW WHAT HAPPENED

VERSE

stop dickriding


heat not winning this yr

So I was wrong with my predictions. You should know all about that seeing how you predicted the Vikings wouldn't get blown out against NE.

AND WE ALL SAW WHAT HAPPENED.

I didn't predict Miami to win last year, but I always said that there was a chance as long as Shaq and Wade are playing. But Verse, do you think the Heat will repeat?

dallas sucks

1. Utah Jazz (6-1) – The Jazz are off to a great start, but can they stay healthy? Andrei Kirilenko is already down with a sprained ankle.

2. San Antonio Spurs (5-1) – As topsy-turvy as the league seems right now, the Spurs are the one constant. Duncan and Tony Parker have been dominant.

3. Los Angeles Clippers (5-1) – Sam Cassell just might be the best post-up point guard in the NBA. And is there anyone else you'd prefer to shoot a clutch shot?


4. Houston Rockets (5-2) – Yao Ming is on fire, but its the "grit" guys that have Jeff Van Gundy excited. Shane Battier and Chuck Hayes have given the Rockets some substance.


5. Cleveland Cavaliers (4-2) – The Cavaliers are up and down, but as long as they have LeBron James, they'll be mostly up.


6. Sacramento Kings (4-2) – Kevin Martin is off to a ridiculously hot start. He's averaging 24 points per game and shooting 55 percent. No wonder the Kings let Bonzi Wells go.


7. Los Angeles Lakers (5-3) – Kobe has struggled in his return from knee surgery, but his teammates are picking up the slack. This is the most well-balanced Lakers team since Shaquille O'Neal left.


8. Atlanta Hawks (4-2) – With Speedy Claxton out, Tyronn Lue (12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.2 turnovers per game) has come through in a big way and helped the Hawks to their best start in years.


9. New Jersey Nets (3-2) – Jason Kidd's performance against Washington on Sunday night was sublime: 15 points, 11 rebounds, 18 assists and only three turnovers.


10. Indiana Pacers (4-3) – Darrell Armstrong has not only given the Pacers great backup point guard play, but also a needed dose of professionalism.


11. Orlando Magic (4-3) – Dwight Howard went through a four-game stretch last week in which he attempted a total of 25 shots. That's not enough.


12. Golden State Warriors (4-3) – Who is Monta Ellis, you ask? He's in his second season, straight out of high school, and he's cracked Don Nelson's lineup, averaging 16 points and shooting 52.6 percent from the field.


13. Chicago Bulls (3-3) – The circus is in town, which means the Bulls will play their next seven games on the road. The theme of the trip is "survival."


14. Washington Wizards (3-3) – The Wizards will be without Darius Songaila until at least January. Their big offseason addition is sidelined after back surgery.


15. Miami Heat (3-3) – Yao Ming took it to both Shaq and Alonzo Mourning on Sunday night, making the duo look a little old. How much will the Heat have in the tank this season?


16. Portland Trail Blazers (4-3) – Jarrett Jack is showing why Sebastian Telfair was expendable. Jack is scoring, dishing, and swiping – he's among the league leaders in steals.


17. New Orleans Hornets (4-3) – The Hornets blew a 27-point lead in Portland, and now they've lost three straight games.


18. Dallas Mavericks (2-4) – The Mavs broke out of their 0-4 start by scoring 119 points in Phoenix, and they followed that up with a win in Portland.


19. Seattle SuperSonics (3-4) – Win or lose, the Sonics play thrilling games. Five of their first seven games have been decided by six points or less.


20. Detroit Pistons (3-4) – Not quite the same start as last season when the Pistons raced out of the blocks and won eight straight games on their way to a 64-win season. Without Richard Hamilton last Saturday, Detroit was shellacked by 32 at Golden State.


21. Denver Nuggets (2-3) – J.R. Smith has made 12 of the Nuggets' 21 three-pointers. He's going to be a big addition on the perimeter for this club.


22. Philadelphia 76ers (3-3) – Threes are wild: After a 3-0 start, the Sixers lose three straight, and now they head west for three road games.


23. Phoenix Suns (2-5) – Amare Stoudemire's 25 points and 14 boards in a win over Memphis finally gave Suns fans something to be happy about.


24. Minnesota Timberwolves (2-4) – Four straight losses for the Wolves after a 2-0 start. They're getting pounded on the boards.


25. Milwaukee Bucks (2-5) – Tough week for the Bucks. They lose all four games and give up an average of 109 points.


26. Toronto Raptors (2-4) – Could be a rough week ahead. The Raptors are on the road for four games out west and will be hard-pressed to win one.


27. New York Knicks (2-5) – Quentin Richardson has been the Knicks' best player so far, scoring 19 a game on 54-percent shooting. (He's a 40-percent gunner for his career.)


28. Memphis Grizzlies (1-5) – No end in sight to this nightmare. This week the Grizz face Dallas twice, Sacramento and Orlando.


29. Boston Celtics (1-5) – The Celtics are waiting on all of that young talent to develop, but it's not happening yet. It looks like the Paul Pierce show again this season.


30. Charlotte Bobcats (1-5) – Emeka Okafor (18.2 points, 12.2 boards and 3.5 blocks per game) has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal start.

Good to see Lakers at 7 but the spurs should be no.1.

oh boy, raptors are not last

raptors are lookin nice now-a-days arent day

The Lakers just ended the mavs streak. Lakers have now beaten all of the top 5 west teams and half of those either kobe or odom were injured.

so......

That means the lakers are championship contenders and deserve to be talk about not like the raptors who are not even a .500 team.

Yeah, you are definitely on the lakers bandwagon. Them niggas wont get out of the first round, not this year, not ever.

Last year they had the suns 3-1 and the team only has more experience and lamar has been playing better and this year the lakers can get home court in the 1st round. If the heat can beat the mavs the lakers can too.

i like wizards n denver as contenders

i'm still waiting to see what happens in the east but it seems like pretty much every team is a contender out there, gotta like the pistons now w/ c-webb though

i hardly post in here but I had to post about livingston fuckin up his leg man that shit was nasty

This thread has been unpinned until basketball season....then it will be pinned again. Feel free to keep it alive with hate mail towards Tim Donahgey or whatever his "bout to get whacked if I don't throw these games" name is.
