2010/11 NBA season

[Topdog]

Finally the NBA is back (well it was back yesterday but still).

'There are some really great young teams going around. I think in terms of pure talent the NBA may be peaking at the moment.

Miami look like they are going to struggle against teams with a decent big man or 2 so it leaves the title race wide open despite having 2 brilliant players.

Orlando vs Washington is the game on OneHD tomorrow.

Lost first game to the Thunder, Rose has started off well, need Boozer back soon though.

Blazers have started off 2-0, but Mills hasn't played yet.

Magic start with a big albeit expected win against the Wiz.

I hear ya G-Mo but if you followed them into Okla you are in for some exciting years.

Put it in this perspective.

If Demetrio had a rich friend from interstate who bought out the Bulldogs and was allowed to pack up the team, move them elsewhere and rename them would you still follow them?

Regardless of how well they are doing I could never bring myself to follow them.

Sorry I'm pretty sour this time every year because of the loss. It sucks!

When Carlos is the key to the season, the season is destined for a first-round playoff exit.

Mills hasn't played yet.

They don't seem like they want to give him a go, Johnson seems to be getting the guard slops if any come up. Shame, I think Patty just needs a chance to show his stuff.

Would be handy having his 20 points & 11 rebounds per night, Gibson won't be able to withstand a full season.

Agree he will be handy. I still don't think he will get you out of the first round.

Possibly not, but Rose might. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out, we need Deng to be more consistent throughout the season also.

Lakers looking good early on, wouldn't be surprised if they go all the way again.

Who have the Nets played so far? surprising they are 2-0.

Beat the Pistons and the Kings. Brook Lopez has scored 25 plus each game, Harris going well, Favors contributing.

If Harris and Lopez stay healthy they wont be terrible. The 76'ers? Now they are another story!

Nets should sneak into the playoffs.

Made the call early!
I don't see it happening, but we'll see I guess?

Outside the big 3 + Atlanta the East is pretty wide open.

Cleveland will obviously drop out from last season.

So there are 2 spots (Charlotte will struggle to make it) up for grabs.

Let me know if you think any of these teams are good.

Toronto, Indiana, Charlotte, NY, Washington (lol). Detroit and Philly.

NJN have to fight out with those teams. Harris looks to have returned to being a decent baller (no idea what happened to him last year).

Lopez is a gun.

Outlaw provides good outside cover.

And Favors looks to be a very good young player.

All that adds up to competing for a playoff spot.

Top win today, team played really well.

Deng was hot all game.
