WOW, I couldn't wait for today to arrive, and, boy, was it worth it!!

3 OT games, including:

CRYverson + the Sixers getting bombed by the Pistons 108-88.

Ricky Davis + the Celts spoiling Larry Brown's Knicks coaching debut 114-100.

AND










the LAKE SHOW back w/PJ at the reins & getting the W over Denver 99-97. Mr CLUTCH himself, Kobe, hit the game winner in the extra period!!!?

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!



sorry the Warriors couldn't start things off w/a win, but there's still 81 chances left! j/k, I'm pulling for them (even if Mullin did resign & dump a boatload of $$$$ on Dunleavy)



oh yeah, the QUEENS were up to their usual........

NO-SAC + CRY-Bibby 89
Houston 98

 

I dunno wtf is up with my kings

 

Uh...read the scoreboard again buddy. Warriors destroyed the Atlanta Hawks 122 to 97.

I sure dont expect much of them this year... And we even got tickets this year without too much trouble...

 

yeah, i just realized that a little while ago after catching tonight's news. It's good to see the W's on the right side of a blowout for a change! I hope B-Diddy is okay though. He went out in the 3rd quarter w/a hamstring injury, something that has plagued him over the years.



and, FWIW, a bunch of the "experts" actually have picked the Queens to win the Pacific Division. Unfortunately, they will probably finish higher than the Lake Show, but at least tonight turned out like old times!

 

CL,

the W scored like 40 in the 3rd quarter after being down 10 at half.

they raped the hawks...

 

Even without Amare, the Phoenix Suns looked pretty good on opening night. The Clip Show's gonna be a surprise this year. The pacific division's so up in the air right now. The top spot is up for grabs in my opinion. I HAVE to root for the Lakers a bit now since I have Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown on my fantasy team this season. Haha.

 

Warriors and Clippers are gonna be #1 and #2 in the western conference this year

 

that is if Baron stays healthy lol =)

 

So, do you have cute nicknames for all the players in the league?

 

yeah, go Lakers! haha

 

Suns are okay, but they definitely will miss Amare. He's out until at least Feb, and as good as Nash was last year, the guy isn't a spring chicken. I don't see him being able to repeat his MVP performance of last year, especially w/Amare out of the line-up to draw double+triple teams to give Nash & others open lanes+looks. Plus, Nash never did play any D, so it's going to hurt not having Amare's shot blocking.

The Suns & Warriors actually have pretty similar games. Both are weak on the defensive end, thin front lines, and, ultimately, have to get out on the break to score a bunch of points in order to win each night.

The top spots in the Pacific are up for grabs though. If the Warriors learn to play together & get a healthy B-Diddy, they might cause the stir that many projected. (really should've traded or held off on resigning Dunleavy + Murphy IS NOT a PF) Hopefully, the Lake Show will come together and make the playoffs. (still not sold on Odom though. no doubt he has talent, but he's too inconsistent. most of all, I question whether he has the heart + dedication to be a winner)



LOL, it's all in good fun....makes things even more interesting.

but i can't take credit for "CRYverson." that's been around for a while. i think i coined "CRY-Bibby," which, IMO, is more fitting. He's a punk!

 

As much as a warrior fan I am, I'm still skeptical that they'll do well this season (i.e make the playoffs). Davis getting injured in the first game might be a sign of things to come. It's true that they did well without him after he left the game, BUT comon, it's the Hawks they were playing

We'll see how they fare against the better teams.

And wassup with the hawks? They commited like 3-4 flagrant fouls when the warriors were leading by like 15+ points.

 

No Bobby Jackson! He was my favorite player on the Kings.

 

Did you see Dunleavy get his face smashed into the floor...I didn't think he was going to get up from that one.
