Long ass read, but well worth the laughs.

 

[Mexi]

all those apart of the hornets lovefest are gonna be disappointed come playoffs

 

[Mexi]

i didnt knoe rasheed changed his number back to 30
that explains why the pistons took off all rasheed stuff from their team store website.
lol everyone thought they had a trade in place

 

[VC3]

lawd have mercy

warriors play hornets on thursday. hornets always own us.

 

[Mexi]

does anyone think that Bynum and/or Pau will be an All-Star this season?

 

[.GR]

Pau will I think. Not Bynum...yet.

 

[Mexi]

Bynum has a shot i think
Other than Yao, there is no clear cut back-up C.
Amare is PF, Duncan is PF
Chandler, Okur, Camby/Kaman, Oden are his only real competition IMO
if he plays like last season, i think he could get in

 

[MapleLeaf]

wow mavs open season at home vs. rockets

hawt

I think Aldridge has a better shot than Oden.
He could, I just dont think he will yet.
Bynum is going to be amazing unfotunately.

 

[Mexi]

i was just naming centers

 

[.GR]

I was thinking Pau was center for some reason. =/

 

[DC4]

Tuesday FTW.

 

[.GR]

FTMFW!

 

[Lake Louise]

Pistons start off the season against the Pacers at the Palace.

Should be easy enough.

 

[DC4]

Nothing's easy anymore...

 

[Mexi]

FIRST PREDICTION OF THE SEASON

Lakers over Portland by 15
if the Lakers lose though, it will be a heartbreak loss
:yoda:

 

[DC4]

I seriously hope they lose
