All Purpose NBA Thread I

[Angola!]

Seems there are a lot of NBA fans on here, so I thought maybe a thread should be started.
Who's going to win tonight?
I'm going with Bulls and Suns.

I've been waiting all summer for this thread. I'm going with the Bulls and Suns as well.

EDIT: I'm curious to see how Amare will play as well.

Not exactly sure what would make you say that.

And prepare for incoming.

I'm one of those fans. And I can't wait to catch the Bulls in HD tonight.

The Chicago Bulls look like a young Detroit Piston team.

Kirk H. = Chauncey
Gordon= Rip
Ben=Ben
Tyrus Thomas= T. Prince

Amare may turn out to be the best business man in NBA history. If he doesn't come back to within 95% of his pre-surgery form, he will have made a very large fortune on keeping his health a secret. The Suns have no one to blame but themselves, they didn't do their due diligence.

Six posts before anyone mentions the best player in the NBA, Lebron James.

Shame on you all.

LEBRON JAMES!!!!! HE RULES!!!! GO CAVS!!!!

Didn't know Ernie Johnson had cancer. The bald head makes him look like Lex Lugar.

The Heat played U2's "Desire" to start the ring ceremony, which was fine. But they followed that with Rod Stewart's "This Old Heart of Mine" when U2 ended, which simply crossed the line. I turned it.

And that "modern" banner just dosn't look right.

Was it just me, or did Zo sound like a WWE wrestler when he was gave that speech?

Or even Lex Luthor.

They raised the championship banner to Springsteen's "The Rising," a tribute song for the scores of firefighters who died going up the towers on 9/11.

You stay classy, Miami.

I'd forgotten that Ben is on the Bulls. Worst move by the Pistons not to keep him. Bulls will be an interesting team this year.

And hey, how 'bout that Devean George?!

Yeah, I knew what he meant, but I still had to give him a hard time with the Luger pic

I don't think they'll miss him that much. They made a business move. I think it's good that they didn't spend all that money on him. On the court, his defense was great, but he brought 0 offense. I think Nazr Mohammed(70% free throw shooting) will surprise some people with his inside game. Flip Murray was also a good addition in the off season because he can actually drive to the basket. If they end up getting Jalen Rose, then I think they'll be fine.

P.S. Remember, this is coming from a Pistons fanboy.

 

[fever_dog]

ben's defense is vastly overrated. i don't think the pistons will miss him much, the big ol' phony.

 

[DyePack]

Lots of people drinking the Bulls Kool-Aid.

I'd predict an early playoff exit, but the rest of the East seems weak.

He can rebound but his one on one defense isn't "great".
