I know! Being a laker game I watched that one live and in the middle of it I was thinking When Kyle Singler and Kevin love were seniors in college they were the talk of the entire state of Oregon and how 2 of the best 3 players in the country are from that state. When we got Love and Duke got Singler I was thinking we got the better of the deal.

4 years later, Love clearly a better player but duke got the better end of the deal

add Jrue holiday and westbrook and we cleraly could have had a REALLY special team. GO BRUINS!!!

Just bought NBA's league pass a few minutes ago so I could watch my lakezz anytime anywhere!

Ya baby I'm in Abu Dabi, and I'm keeping up with the Lake Show through NBA.com. First 8-0 start since 1997-1998 I LOVE IT! Stick that up your pipe and smoke it Miami I love it before the season started everyone was just annointing Miami as the NBA champs, as if they were the only team in the league. Well they might have LeBron and Bosh but we are the back to back defending champions, so the Heat need to knock us out first, assuming they even baeat Boston or Orlando in the playoffs. They already lost to the Celtics, which is understandable it was @ Boston, but they should not of lost to the Jazz in their own home.

Oh and the Clippers still suck some things never change that is one thing I can depend on every nba season. Also, it was nice to see that Kurt Rambus was Minnesota's head coach, and I'm glad he is giving Maurice Ager some playing time. He was in the D league and a former Spartan, and I liked that nice 3 point bomb he had from behind half court. It's good to see he is getting some playing time.
By the way how much is NBA league pass?

I knew Miami would flop this year.

Celtics will win the NBA, mark my words

[persianbruin]

A few notes (personal opinion) after couple of weeks of NBA regular season,

1) Barring major injuries chalk up Lakers vs Celts for the finals with the team holding HC advantage winning the NBA championship. As hard as it is to believe both teams have gotton BETTER!!

2) Miami is more than one year away from winning it all

3) Las vegas should be makiing millions if not billions over tricking prople by making Miami the favorites. Remember, the casino odds are not based on what REALLY happens. They are beased on how people bet

4) western conference notes: GS will make the playoffs, Utah is a serious contender, Houston is underachieving bigtime, Haddadi will be traded before the trade deadline and OKC still has a lot of growing up to do

5) Eastern conference notes: Miami is exactly what I thought they would be (initially at least) atlanta will be tough to beat in the playoffs, orlando is soft and overrated, NYC and Chicago are still one melo away from being able to finish second behind the celtics in the east and is there anyone who is surprised about the O'neils having injury problems?

6) Last night Kobe became the youngest player ever to reach 26K points and is currently ranked 12th in the alltime scoring list. he should finish 6th in the alltime list by the end of the season. One can argue he started younger in the league compared to people before him, but you can also argue he is one if not the only HS phenom who went straight to a contender who already had 2 allstar guards so he didn't get enough playing time initially. I guess the 2 arguments offset each other.

7) Lebron won't become the alltime leading scorer in the NBA because now he is playing second fiddle to dwade. He was nowhere to be found in that overtime game against utah. He wasn't even looking for a shot. Its safe to say even he doesn't believe he has what it takes to be one of the greatest ever.

8) Paul Milsap....need I say more?

9) Derek rose...amazing and needs an alpha dog on his team

10) Love.. best and smartest rebounder in the game

11) stephan curry....sophmore jinx?

12) Chris Bosh....softer than charmin

13) as we say in farsi: shotori ya morgh? the three stooges down in south beach tell their supporters, to be patient and they need help and chemitry and experience and are basically asking for people to lower their expectations but tell the haters and doubters that they will show them and they are motivated and they will see. so which is it? shotori ya morgh!?

14) Bruins are tearin it all over the league Is Ben Howland god or what? I think his pride and joy should not be westbrook, not aflallo, not darren collison, not ariza not Mbah amoute and certainly not kevin love. It should be Ryan Hollins! The former laughing stock of the Pac 10 who couldnt even play as a college player and was labeled soft is making it in the NBA as the tough inside presence. Thank you coach Howland and go Bruins!

Verdict: Lakers over celts in 6

[Demis-11]

Kevin Love has a 31pt-31rbd game in a 112-103 victory over New York, yikes! thats pretty insane

Verdict: Lakers over celts in 6

i agree with all you said sir... one other thing, dont count out the nuggets but you must think im crazy but Nuggets are a legit team with Martins and Bird man back... and yes you are right we are a melo away to be right behind Celtics but i disagree wit u, as a bulls fan i think even wit melo we will still wouldn't be #2 in the East, our bench is weak. Lakers and Celtics are just INSANE and they play some beautiful basketball(the bench and the starters). Lakers v.s Celtics finals but it'll go down to game 7 i think. and i hope shaq will be healthy if it happens. it'll be nice to see how the crowd will react at the staples

i kinda feel like NBA is starting to get bak to its 90's days which was amazing. i dunno maybe its just me but dam bball is so good to watch these days. young legit kids are coming into the league and they aint like Princess LBJ






btw DUKE >>>>>>>bruins :P

[Masoud_A]

So this guy in my league wants to give up one of his players for a PG, Im guessing I either go for his Granger or Melo and give up Curry or Rose? what do you think is the optimum option?
