Its finally here the NBA season starts tonight and I wanted to give my 2 cents on what I think is going to happen in the league this year.
First thing is first don't give the Lakers the title just yet. I know they are the top team with Kobe, Gasol, and Lamar (Mr. Kardashian) all returning to the mix. They went out and got Ron Artest in the off season. Artest is a huge asset to the team that struggled a bit on the defensive end. I'm sure Phil can keep him under control and as long as he knows its Kobe's ball they should be fine. Artest really doesn't care about getting the ball too much he has played with the likes of T-Mac, Reggie Miller and Mike Bibby all of who demand the ball way more then he does. What does bother me about the team from Hollywood is they might be too Hollywood. Lamar is getting married and in the tabloids every day. Hes marrying into a family that is pretty crazy and on the TV more then the Girls Next Door. Kobe will be Kobe as usual and if Artest is in Hollywood there is bound to be some antics which could drag the team down. Key factor is Phil Jackson to keep them tight.
Second thing is I don't agree with this Orlando is the best team in the East. Jameer Nelson is returning point guard. He was hurt most of the playoffs and didn't help out very much. I think he cost the team a few wins. Skip-to-my-Loo was better and he shipped off to New Jeresy. Not something I would have done. Also Stan Van Jeremy, WHOOPS, I mean Gundy has a huge ego problem and I was surprise to see his players still make the finals after his dumb comments. Turkey Boy is gone to Toranto and why not they have a chance to win. NOT! They added Vince Carter who might start crying if SVG makes his absurd comments towards him. They will not make it back to the finals. They have a conference with Cleveland, Detroit, and Boston. Aint gonna happen WICK!
I think the Cavs come out of the East its Lebron's seventh season. If you all remember MJ won his first title in his seventh season. Its not going to be easy. Here's what you all see and say... Shaq isn't going to help, he's just going to hurt them. You think he hurt the Suns because they lost the run style and went to slow down ball. Well not the case in Cleveland. They already have that game. Zeek is slow as hell and Side Show Bob isn't any better. Shaq is a force in the middle and he will get D Howard out of the way of the King. Shaq played great the last two season with the Suns and if the Cavs give him days off like Phoenix did they will be in great shape come playoff time. WIN A RING FOR THE KING!!!
I got a few sleepers for you in the east this year. I like Detroit, Philly and Washington. Detroit added Ben Gordon a good leader to mix with Rip and T Prince. They also got Charlie Villanueva. He has never really lived up to his ability since coming from college but I think in this system he can develop. They get the cancer AI out of there and Rip is back to his normal spot. This could be a good chance to get back to the conference finals. Philly I like because they have the Real AI as in Andre Iguodala. He might be my favorite player in the NBA beside Sweet Lou. If Elton Brand can stay healthy and re -gain his forum from years past they might have a shot. They made the playoffs last year and he might add to that confidence. Last is Washington. Once again if their star is healthy they will be good. Gilbert is the key. If he can get back to his 2007 forum they will challenge Orlando for the top spot.
Jumping back to the WEST SIDE, I really like the Spurs. Even though it pains me to say this they have a good shot. Richard Jefferson added to a healthy Manu and Parker makes them the best contenders against the Lake Show. Team that will not surprise anyone is the Suns. Its all about Amare. If he is healthy they will be better then last year but its all about him. Dallas got some good defensive help by getting Shawn Marion who plays better in the west and the Run N Show, but I don't think they challenge the Spurs at all. Just a normal season for Dirk!
This is all I got today on my NBA preview. Check me out on twitter SIMSZEE14
HOLLA!

First of all, Twitters is for gays I decided. . . LOL. thanks for the Philly Love. They are my team, but I don't think I can agree with ya. Elton Brand will not fit into that syste,. He wants the ball in the post 20-30 times a game and with the uptempo style of A.I. and all the young gunners on the team that won;t happen. If Elton Brand checks out mentally his game sucks. Cleveland all the Way in the East! I despise the Spurs so I hope they don't knock off the Lakers in the west, but I would like to see the Nuggets do well again. Charles Barkley was on Letterman last night and said Knicks and Pacers are the worst teams in the league. Have to agree with that.
ReplyDeleteTweet tweet....who's got the keys to a ring....mmmmm. I gotta go with Yarneeezy on this one. Twatter is pretty queer. But not like the salavation type queer Wick has for Chocolate Thunder in Orlando. Don't sleep on 'em though. Luv the squad they got down there. Had to let Twerkalou go. He took to many touches away from Superman last yr. Celts are gonna have to pull out their 4 leaf clovers to get to the finals. Garnett gettin up there in age as is doughy Pierce. But you can never count out Jesus and his silky stroke. C Town will be interesting. They have the worst coach in the league in Doo Doo Brown, but the best player is Beezy. Don't "chalk" up there trip just yet. They better work in cohesion instead of their starting lineup intros. The Bullets will contend if they can play better D, and keep the Mt. Dew away from Caron Butler. The West is more open than a supervisor @ Chase ;) Obviously the Lake show is the fav, but T Blazers and Nuggets are my picks. J.R Smith can stroke it and Birdman can swat it. Cuban said Artest is going to be a liability and I couldn't agree more. Lamar better just not have an affair like Steve Phillips and get side tracked. Speaking of affairs, why does Sir Charles have to be on Letterman. Dude is an aspiring GM in the league. Only reason he says Indiana is the worst team in the league is because they have 6 white guys on the team. Memo to Chuck, stay off the Mark Sanchez hot dogs and to quote my boy J Dizzle, "better not leave the treadmill". p.s Agassi used Crystal Meth :/ why didn't he invite me over when I was in Spanish Hills
