I feel a little uncomfortable starting another "General Sports" thread, being new to this board, but I can't find an NBA thread and training camp just started, so.... here's a few of my thoughts:
- Last season ended on a high note for me, since Wade is my favorite player in the league. I'd have to say that the Heat are the favorites to repeat, since they pretty much kept their core intact. Other favorites would probably be the Mavs, Suns (with a healthy Amare), Spurs, and maybe even the Cavs. Lebron seems to have no ceiling to his potential; he just gets better and better.
- The Rockets are my favorite team, so I was pretty excited about the signing of Bonzi Wells. T-Mac will miss at least 10-20 games, garans, so Wells should fill that scoring void nicely. I thought they gave up too much by trading Stromile Swift and Rudy Gay for Battier, but I guess the thinking is that they only have a 3-4 year window where Yao and T-Mac will be in their prime, so they had to go for it.
- The World Championships over the summer was a big disappointment to me, coming in third. I can think of a lot of excuses, but the bottom line is, we lost.
- Is there any interest here in joining a Fantasy Basketball league for this board? I think we would need a minimum of 8 players to get one going. If enough people show interest over the next week or two, I'll set up a Roto or H2H league in Yahoo.
Anyone feel like commenting about their favorite team, player or anything else NBA-related?
