2009-10 NBA season thread

Simmons was on TK's radio show Monday and I thought they had great chemistry. Kornheiser was talking after the interview about how impressed he is at Simmons' respect for the sportswriters that came before him.

 

Oh I thought you meant it was a ridiculous statement to make. My bad.

 

The thing is -- there are so many bad teams in the NBA -- having LeBron James means the Cavs will win 55 to 65 games.

But when they play good teams and get into the playoffs, the rest of the team will be exposed.

 

Good.

I'm sure ESPN has the five minutes sompeplace on the WWL.com. Tony just seemed teed off at something.

 

Honestly - Illgauskus and Shaq cannot jump any more. It is ridiculous that two guys taller than 7-0 can't grab a rebound cleanly because they can't jump

 

Can I take the under?

 

I don't think LeBron goes anywhere. New York is not an attractive situation at all. He's better off staying a Cav, taking the most money anyone can offer and then playing for a team and city that worships his every move.

 

Garnett's Isselmissle was sweet.

A lot of old legs on these teams.

 

How can Shaq not be able to dunk that any more? And if he really can't - well how could someone not see that he was this done before he was signed?

 

Will either of these two teams still be able to field eight guys who can walk for 20 minutes - much less play an NBA game for 48 - by the time the playoffs roll around?

 

Garnett has played 42,600 minutes and is breaking down faster than a Chrysler.

James has already played 20,700 and is halfway through his prime. He would be nuts to stay if they do not win it all this season.

 

They ain't winning it, so Cleveland fans can forget that.

This team is not as good as Boston, Orlando or about six teams in the West.
