It's time for Basketball!
The NBA season starts off today - what are your thoughts and predictions?
What is it these days? Nobody is healthy. It seems like everyone gets surgery in the offseason, so the first few months of the season are all scrappy while we wait for everyone to get healthy. I don't like it at all. Hell, the Lakers are starting off the season with most of their team already limping. What the hell happened? I know injuries "happen" but this is stupid to have half your team sitting and hobbling out of the fucking gate.
Kobe, Vlad, Mihm, Kwame - thats 4/5ths of the fuckin starting lineup.
With that being said, I don't want to make a prediction on my team yet, because I have no fuckin' clue who is going to be playing. As with any team with Kobe Bryant, if they get into the playoffs, they can pull a Cardinals, but they have to get there first. Last year they lasted farther than expected, and this year wont be any different.
The teams I expect to be playing great basketball are Chicago, Orlando, LA Clippers. They wont be the top of their conference, but their play will be notable and enjoyable.
Team I wish would just die: New York. Give it a rest, not even Portland is as screwed as these guys.
