Are you going to tell me how my a$$ taste when OJ Mayo averages 25 ppg and leads memphis to a 50+ win season.

[checkman]

how will the raptors do this season

[Maniak]

How do you think Gilbert Arenas and the Wiz team will do?
How do you think Eric Gordon will do?

Gilbo and the Wizards will return to the playoffs and be eliminated in the first round. I think they will have a 5 or 6 seed.

Eric Gordon will do decently. I hate him as an OJ Mayo fan, but he does have skill. He should get 19+ ppg this season. Hes a great piece for the Clippers.

Good luck with that

how will the raptors do this season

Just like the Wizards, they will return to the playoffs.

I dont see them really making it past the 1st round, as nice as that would be. Although they have a good chance with a guy like Turkeyglue.

I like their group of guys they have right now, they should be a good team to watch. Hopefully they all mesh and do a helluva lot better than last year.

Good morning all!

Hey, when are you going to use Big Deal again? After that pathetic b!tch move of defending yourself using that name? Are you going to say it's a joke?

[FinalCountdown]

so wait, you did actually just praise yourself on your gimmick account? LOL

Thats pathetic

It was a joke, even though it took him like 30 minutes to reply

What do you think of the Artest - Ariza swap? Does it make Lakers a much better team, if better at all?

Very nice question.

I have been having mixed reactions. Now it seems like this will have Artest starting, and Odom off the bench, which is great depth.

I question the chemistry and ball movement the most...

The same as the Grizzlies(lol, Lakers fans might kill me for this comparison), they have alot of great players, but the question lies in can the ball be moved around properly, and can everyone get the touches they need.

If the coach was anyone but Phil Jackson and I was a Laker fan, I'd be scared for my team.

They are in great hands with the Zen Master at the helm.

I dont think there is really an improvement or a decrease in ability.

Ron Artest should bring better defense to the Lakers, which makes them all the more intimidating as a team.

How do you think J.Crawford will do on Atlanta?

If you had to get rid of a big man on the clippers which one would you trade away?

[Maniak]

How do you think J.Crawford will do on Atlanta?

Pretty good. He will be a valuable bench asset for them. He will be their Leandro Barbosa....in a sense. I think he will fit right in.

Well pretty much its between Kaman and Camby. Camby doesnt have much left in the tank, and Kaman hasnt shown much. I would rather get rid of Camby. He is older, while Kaman has more youth....

[Maniak]

Didnt see the game..

Seems like CDR had a nice game, Im hoping he has a breakout year.

Lopez did nice, but needed work on rbs cat.

So yeah...I could kinda comment on and on, but nothing really worth saying, its all in the boxscore....

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I remember this guy, he went ghost after OJ Mayo turned out to be poor man's JR Smith.
