The NEW 2014/2015 NBA thread: Not the Lakers

[runawayboulder]

Never say never.

 

[Anubis]

...you just said never.

 

[Lantern Venom]

As a sports fan, I for one am genuinely glad the Charlotte Hornets have been reborn.

Agreed. Long live the Charlotte HORNETS.

May those POSERS, the Slobcats, suffer a century of bottom-dwelling.

I live in Cleveland and this is going to be a great day. I'm headed Downtown to party like we won already.

Spoken like a true Cleveland fan.

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[the last son]

What are you talking about? There a free festivities, including concerts and I'm headed downtown to celebrate with Cavs fan and watch the game. What is your deal?

 

[W/ Great Power]

The Wizards/Cavs rivalry from the Arenas v. LeBron days will be back this year.

Should be good!

There's been a crapload of internet articles about how terrible the Lakers are going to be this season. Makes me wish I'd stayed up to watch their game against the Suns, and see Kobe guarded by 3 guys while jacking up an airball 3.

Can't wait for my season to kick off tonight! Really hoping everyone stays healthy on the team this year. (looking at you Kyrie and Varejao)

The Knicks won't have Calderon for 2-3 more weeks because of the calf injury that kept him out last night.

Kobe's gonna break a record for FG attempts this year...

 

[Mister J]

Westbrook will outdo him until KD comes back. I believe I read he had something like a 47% usage rate last night. You know he was loving it.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Wizards have a lead but seem to be playing to the level of their opponent, Orlando.

 

[Docker2.0]

Spurs didn't get this much fanfare as the Cavs got tonight from the NBA and they won the title. And people wonder.............eh never mind.

 

[Airnick]

Knicks stand no chance tonight.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Let their adrenaline settle down. It's safe to say Cleveland will at least have a good season.

Amare looks good but then again it is a contract year. But also, he's a big man that can score from the outside. He's perfect for the triangle. I don't know why Fisher doesn't start him.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Wow, the Orlando Magic have crawled back to make it a three point game.

 

[Docker2.0]

My gawd man! Anyone notice that other than Lebron, the Cavs don't pass the ball at all, especially Irving and Waiters. As soon as those two get the ball, they are shooting. Even Love seems to be going for himself.

He started last game, I don't know why he's not starting tonight.

 

[W/ Great Power]

I'm impressed by the Knicks thus far.

Polar opposite performance from last night.

I'm stunned.

 

[W/ Great Power]

I'm stunned.

Seriously, I saw the highlights from last night after I read your posts, and they looked flat out sluggish at times.

I'm sure they want to spoil LeBron's homecoming. Wouldn't mind seeing them pull it off.

Yeah they just stopped playing last night.

Up by 3 going into the fourth...fingers crossed.
