The playoffs reeled me back in last year. I think the NBA is the best its been in a decade and I'm a fan.
Any other fans on here?

Here is how the starting lineups is shaping up for tommorow:
PG: Paul-best in the world at his position
SG: Mo Pete- Weak link and paid to much
SF: Julian Wright- Most athletic player on team but hasnt put it together
PF: D. West- Has become an All star but takes plays off
C: Okafur- The big move the hornets made in the off season. They traded Chandler because he couldnt stay healthy and Okafur hasnt missed a game....Then Okafur gets hurt in preseason but should be good to go on Wed Night. He is the X factor and CP3 makes everyone better.
Bench-
6) Peja- When healthy (Big if) can still stroke it
7)Posey- Great Role player who can play a number of positions
8 Marcus Thorton- SEC poy at LSU last year, big time scorer who I think replaces Mo Pete before the end of season
9)bobby Brown- Not that one....Could be the scorer at the pg position that they hornets lacked last season with pargo gone.
If they suffer the same kind of injuries as last season I dont think they make the postseason. I think at best they finish 5th in the West.
Early prediction is probably the same as most folks: Lakers vs. Cavs
I think the Cavs have what it takes this year finally.
They brought in the big guy they needed, and LeBwon isn't all alone anymore. Like Fox said, Hornets need to stay healthy.
Celtics looking good again too.
Yeah Im a HUGE Hornets fan and wherever Shaq goes
Usually go to a few Hornets games when Im in town for Saints games or going down to LSU games
Thanks to Fox and Co. I left the Alabama -LSU game early last year becasue of the free tickets I won from them for Hornets vs Heat GREAT GAME We try to attend a few if they are lined up with Saints games.
Im FOR SURE trying to go to Hornets vs Cavs to see Shaq and to see my Hornets.
I agree I think Shaq puts the Cavs over the top in the EAST. Would be great Shaq and Cavs vs Kobe and Lakers
Maybe Fox and Co can hook me up again???
LoL
Milsap is looking real good for the Jazz.
Celtics still have the big 3, a top pg in Rondo, and a solid center in Perkins.
Now they have a top level 6th man in Rasheed Wallace and a versatile 7th man In Marquis Daniels.
They have to be the favorites in the east.
CP3 is WAY better than Rondo but Celtics have MUCH more around him than Paul does. Hornets SHOULD have beat them yesterday. But they blew it.
Mark my words the Cavs will come around soon and they will have best record in the East.
I am pumped about the NBA this year. I love the changes the Mavs have made. Pumped we beat LA in LA already. And that is without Josh Howard. When he gets healthy and into the groove we are going to have a lot of firepower. We also have a HUGE expiring contract to trade this offseason that could net us a very good player like Bosh.
I really am not sold on LA repeating right now. While I would definitely label them the favorite I have a feeling the Spurs, if they stay healthy, are going to win the West this year.
Not sure about the East this year. I have a feeling the Celtics are going to be the team to beat. I think Vince Carter has always been over-rated and I think the Magic drop to #3 in the East. The way that particular team was set up I would rather have Hedo than Vince. I think the Cavs will be improved but not enough to overcome the Celtics with a healthy Garnett and Sheed helping out as well.
I don't like what N.O. has done. CP3/West/Okafor are a great base to build on but there isn't much else. There are starters on the Hornets that should be on the bench and players getting minutes on the bench that shouldn't be getting minutes at all. The owner of the Hornets needs to open up his wallet. The Hornets fans have proven me wrong and have shown that if he puts a winner out there they will support the team. They have stepped up. It's time for Shinn to do the same!!!
nice post good points
Agreed!
NBA still has aways to go to get me back. Only watched a couple regular season games and not much of the playoffs. Just not floatin' my boat. Still like college ball though its such a revolving door to the NBA anymore.
