me too. and can baseball be over already!?

training camps a week away

SEASON TIP OFF TONIGHT!

also NBA League Pass FREE preview (10/27 - 11/4)

WOOP WOOP so excited...nice opening night schedule too! (although frankly the cavs are sort of painful to watch outside of bron)

good call on the free league pass carne...i'm so tempted to pick it up again this year but the stupid dvr always seems to be programmed to record house or some bs right in the middle of games

thx 4 tha tip. they did the same with mlb extra innings channels at the start of the season

oden is out with a foot injury, getting x-rays, twelve minutes into his career.

ugh. it's suicide for sure.

i was at taco joint last fri and they were showing cavs-wizards. i think i <3 this taco place!

emo p. pierce :D

this is my fav board btw

Every time I looked up at the Blazers game I was like "oh man, that dude is a bad-ass!" Bayless, Batum, Roy, Aldridge, Fernandez... but then I check out the score, and the Lakers are up 20. I guess it isn't quite there yet.

missed celtics opener - on a plane :(

lebron's free throws need some work

It seems you didn't look up often enough, polyphonic.

last season's playoffs were so mega

BTW

BLINGGGGGGGGGG

Scalablinge

It seems you didn't look up often enough, polyphonic.

Yeah, I was reading, and glancing up every once in awhile.

poly i had the same thought on the blaze

i think they just had opening night jitters big-time, new glass man at center, NATIONAL TV against the DEFENDING WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS (harlan voice) and just got rocked by the lakers defense early

rudy fernandez is the new fave though, he looked like he was ready to try to carry them back in it by himself from down 20, he's not that good yet but what a great bench they have

poor greg oden, i thought the days of bowie and penny hardaway injury-trashed careers were erased by the magic of amare, i hope that's still true, i want to see that dude on the court

scalabling is roffles

i'm really trying to keep my shit in check w/r/t the lakers. even more so since there're getting mad hype but damn these guys are deep as hell and hungry like no other.

rudy fernandez is the new fave though
like this dude a lot,picked him up on my fantasy squad

lakers obv on a diff plane than blaze - wouldnt worry to much abt their performance there - would worry abt greg odens glass body

people are over rating the blaze bigtime this year tho - great talent obv - still too young to make much noise

Oden moved with the fluidity and grace of the young Pavel Podkolzin.

yeah i am terrified on behalf of the league of the lakers, i think they're legit with pf the right role for pau, enough energetic guys and that second unit to take care of business on nights when kobe is pissed that they're behind (i imagine he will check out of some close games and come back in up ten thanks to the bench- happened a few times last year), and total harmoniousness once they swap odom for sczerbiak's exp contract in february

i thought they might come back pissy and scared and instead they look unified and this is sparta-esque

Another guy who looked great every time I looked up was Bynum, so I thought "Dude is dominating!" and then they flashed "Bynum: 6 points, 3 rebounds" on the screen.

Another another guy who looked great last night was my boyfriend Leon Powe.

it wasn't a great game for bynum but i think he'll just get stronger as the season goes on.

yeah he's fine, first game in a long time! and a couple of alleyoops for him were off target

i <3 powe too, hopefully now that pj brown is retired his minutes won't get stolen by a waiver wire dude at the end of the season

doug collins seems to think he's like 6'6" which is kinda weird

powe is sweet tho his defensive liabilities likely limit his ideal role to instant offense/rebounding off the bench - could be a starter on a shitty team too obv

he got a "act like you been there before" from barkley on inside last night though :/

kenny got his back with a "he hasn't been there much yet" though

plus ring count at last check powe = 1 barkley = 0

i <3 u too charles in case you are an ilh lurker

for the love of christ, someone please tell me they have a screenshot of an insane, bearded to hell popovich giving double thumbs up to shaq

i was actually just logging in to post that

lol wtf pop should be mccain's running mate or something with that look.

omg hahaa

hahahaha shit out of all the conceivable things that would make me not hate the spurs i would've put "greg popovich grows a beard and pulls a joke at the beginning of the season" at #2,378 on the list

i shouldn't post while reading bill simmons >:[

trevor ariza!

its important that wite celtics benchwarmers display their rings in an obnoxious taunting manner here on this thread

last night i had to watch some stupid baseball w/ my friend and afterwards there were TWO basketball games on the tvs and it was like this horrbile tease because they onlyhad 4 min left or something and i couldn't stay.
