ahhhhh........

i'll just forget about the trouble of Parramatta and all the baggage it brings and follow the trials and tribulations of the Shaq-less and Kobe-more LA Lakers.....man there was less trouble between those two than at Parramatta.... :?

anyone else follow the NBA??

i know its a bit un-patriotic and i love the NBL in Australia, but it's just not the same as the NBA......i mean going back to the Magic and Showtime Laker days and then Jordan (at the Bulls) and then Shaq and Kobe at the Lakers and now just Kobe "The Man" at teh "New lakers"....its great theatre really

woohoo...something we can agree on :D (or maybe not - I don't like kobe).... I am a big fan of bball....watch all the NBA coverage I can get.

Kobe is a dog....talented player, but a complete wanker....infact i'd say most NBA players are probably wankers - but its still and exciting sport to watch.

C'mon..........whats so great about bouncing a ball to one end to put it in a basket? Hell, I'd rather watch AFL, at least there is some contact.

Nah, I don't like basketball.

CONTACT basketball on the other hand ...

How much better would it be with tackles?

Kobe and the Lakers suprised me today...i was expecting kobe to jack up about 40 shots, but he seemed to get everyone involved. My Nuggs on the other hand were terrible shooting 20% from the floor in the first half, to make the loss hurt worse Vo is out for the season.

Can't wait to get home so i can actually watch the games....12 days to go :clap: .

thewizard1o1: who is Vo? Is that Lenard? Bummer...

I'm a Rockets fan - relly looking forward to this season! Hoping that a return to 1994/95 days will happen!

Can't stand the Fakers though....

You think there's no contact in Basketball? Ha- there's a hell of a lot of it- it's a much more physical game than you'd think.

ahhh yes everyone hates Kobe - but your all just jealous ;-)

and i think you will find that Shaq is not the innocent legend he portrays.....wait and see what happens if Dwyane Wade is either (a) crap and not as good as everyone first thought or (b) really really good and starts getting the headlines over Shaq like Kobe did........ ;-)

and yeah Kobe just settled back against the Nuggets and let everyone else do their thing, even though he ended up top scoring ;-) he didn't shoot the ball well though, beu hey he only took 15 shots or something

go you Lakers, everyone hates them, but i love em!!!

and Wiz, was that Voshon Lenard out for the season for the Nuggets???? thats a blow, but then they could put Carmelo at SG and bring Nene into teh starting side perhaps???

Vo is out for the rest of the season...i would like to see them go with the following SL for the rest of the season where possible.
Camby-Kmart-Melo-DeMarr-Miller.

I would much rather see Melo stick to sf, i think he is a bit to heavy to play at off guard.

your probably right Wiz

thats a blow to have Lenard out for the season??? he sure can shoot the 3

they will probably have Johnson or maybe Buckner come in to SG or even make a trade possibly with some of their front court depth????

I doubt they will be trading anyone out of the front court. But Demarr looked great in preseason and can stroke the three, also plays alot more D then Vo did.

See big Z going off in todays game...33 points 16 rebounds at the start of 2nd OT.
