The only day of the week I don't have to be up for 9 AM lectures is Wednesday (games are on around 2 AM over here).

Basketball gods are on my side. And with my Spurs too. :bowdown:

Good luck this year, player. You expecting a repeat? Well, basically a threepeat if it wasn't for a Ray Allen bailout shot. But yeah, you expecting a repeat?

[russwest0]

Me but I'm so f*cking busy this semester (working 50 hours a week total combining school + work) a lot of these games I'll have to just watch the highlights and check out the box score.

As opposed to the past two years where I could basically watch the Thunder religiously.

Damn, who's gonna replace your passion in game threads now? Thunder fans are a bit on the shy side outside of Budadiiii, KG, and a few others. We need you.

For sure. Anything less would be a disappointment. If w keep everyone rested and go into the Playoffs strong, I like our chances.

Looking forward to a good year of basketball. :cheers:

Dude, im so freaking pumped!! It's been way too long without real basketball!

[Milbuck]

Anyone else wonder what it'd be like if Harden tore his ACL on opening night?

My ninja right here. I swear I almost put a bullet in my head in July. Felt like time was moving by so slow at that point. Look at where we are now, f*cking close to November. :dancin

ISH is gonna be poppin this season.

Nothing would change. The NBA's FTA average would hit record lows for this season but other than that the Rockets would probably win about the same amount of games and the league would stay the same.

I'd go to my room and cry in a fetal position.

Imagine if your team had a ridiculously high point differential that was in the class of teams that were all legendary champions, and then your team was playing dynamite basketball headed into the playoffs, and then some punk b*tch took out your star players knee after the whistle was blown and blew it all.

Shit would make you question living, wouldn't it?

[SugarHill]

Bev is awesome

Yeah :/

Bev is a nice defender and it's cool to have him on my team but I gotta admit, sometimes he plays wayyy too rough.

[The-Legend-24]

About time, fvcking hate the offseason.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. But then we’d have to deal with the onslaught of Rose-like “The Return” bullshit from ESPN. Trying to save face and act like their boy hasn’t been a middle class man’s Corey Maggette this whole time :oldlol:

[Sportal]

I just wish the incident with Paul George didn't happen... Coulda been a very interesting Eastern conference, I mean, with the Bulls and Cavs it still will be. But imagine PG pushing for superstar levels to keep his team on top as well.

:lol Harden is better than any version of Maggette. Only thing Maggette has over Harden is his defense (which was average) and his rebounding (size advantage).

[DirkNowitzki41]

cant wait.. this is gonna be one of the best mavs seasons ever. 4 all star caliber players in dirk, ellis, Tyson, parsons :bowdown: and a deep bench. championship or bust

sucks KD is out but atleast we get too see Russ go off for a month

[Milbuck]

Agreed it's definitely arguable, and I'm glad we're able to have these types of discussions on here. ISH really is the greatest.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Can't wait for the should Durant be traded 20 pagers after GOATbrook starts off averaging 32/6/7.

[PhutureDynasty]

Yea buddy! I certainly am.

Let's go 76ers!!! :party:

[EricGordon23]

can't wait for my pistons to kick ass

[andremiller07]

I'm excited to watch Cuz, Sessions, Reggie Evans and Nik Staskus do there thing aside from that it's going to be a lot of anger in particular aimed at likes of Rudy Gay/Jason Thompson and Ben Mclemore.

[ThatCoolKid]

I have a confession to make. I've never actually watched a basketball game in my life. I only watch youtube highlights and parrot the opinions of other posters because I want to fit in with you guys. I don't even like basketball.

[Real14]

I just can't wait for Melo and the knicks to prove all the haters wrong:applause:

You and 90% of the posters here man, don't feel bad. :cheers:

[ThatCoolKid]

Thanks man. I feel a lot better now :cheers:

[Genaro]

I'm always pumped up for the NBA to start after the long 4 months without basketball.
Of course that as a Laker fan, I don't get very excited since 2012 but if Kobe remains healthy I think the games will be at least watchable.

[Blue&Orange]

More confused than excited. I have no idea how to rank teams both in the east and west this year.

[SpecialQue]

Not me.

[JellyBean]

I am geeked. So many exciting story angles. I can not wait.

[sammichoffate]

Kobe gonna drop 50 this season, Curry gonna drop 60+:rockon:

[Cold soul]

Can't wait!

[nzamcdza]

Can't wait to see how this Cavs team comes together.

Also looking forward to see how D Rose can come back!

[ImKobe]

Right now it's all about Football, but watching Kobe play is a must, ain't gonna miss a game.

But overall, I start watching more during the 2nd half of the season, when games count. Also a good thing because otherwise I'm already waiting for the Playoffs by mid-season.

[Cocaine80s]

Most excited ive been since 2010

[Graviton]

Westbrook gonna be in Westbrick mode every 3 games, that's just how he plays in the regular season. I am excited but that shit gonna be either hilarious or tragic, maybe both. :lol

[gcvbcat]

O yeah. & I might buy a TV & get to watch a few games.

[Lebronxrings]

First two bulls games:

Bulls v Knicks

The United centre is going to erupt for the Cavs game and first home game with rose back. That intro and atmosphere is gonna be electric. :rockon:

[Laker4Lyfe]

[ArbitraryWater]

:basketball :dancin :djparty :djparty

Too bad it's 82-game dragged out bullshit :(

It really, really is dragged out... Making it shorter would be better, more exciting, especially come playoff time considering players aren't as burned out.

[ralph_i_el]
