The NBA season's here!!!

Even though it's early and I want to see Lakers complete 3peat, I kind of what to see a "shocker" team win it all like it was in baseball this year. Who in the heck thought that it would be Giants and Rangers in World Series? Many had Rangers winning it. Giants shocked the world!

Yeah I want to see a shocker win the NBA finals too. Let's name a few teams that would qualify to be a shocker if they won it all: Clippers, Caveliers, Warriors, Raptors.......who else guys??

Pacers, maybe Jazz, Hornets, Bobcats, Rockets, or maybe even......Bulls.

Honestly, if there is any shocker I would love to see, I'd like to see Bulls win it all, or maybe Bobcats, and maybe Cavs because of the way Lebron left.

...the Lakers would be my shocker team. Ha ha ha

I'm watching Knicks/Celtics play. Both are carrying large winning streaks (Knicks at 8 and Celtics at 10). Knicks look good and hopefully they can keep it up.

I would love to see the Cavs do it.  Just for the sake of irony, lol.

Me too!

Wow! Celtics/Knicks was a true classic! About 12 seconds left and Paul Pierce makes a 2 pointer with 0.4 left which made the score 118-116. Then Amare makes a 3 pointer BUT it was after the buzzer went off and Celtics win the game 118-116! Wow! What a game in NY! I believe if Knicks can keep it up, Knicks can be a serious contender in the East, like a 4-6 seed.

That was a good game.  My takeaways: 1. Amare Stoudemire is a beast. 2. Gallinari was straight ballin'!

My sentiments exactly!!!

If they keep playin like this and I might go to a Knicks game this year.

I think Amar'e being the clear-cut leader of a team on the NY stage has done wonders for him.

I think he's a legitamate MVP contender. 

The Lakers have Pau and the best supporting cast in the league, the Heat are loaded with stars, the Celtics has 4 hall of famers + Rondo and a solid supporting cast, etc, etc.

Who is more valuable to their team than Amar'e is to the Knicks?

Chris Paul, Dirk & D-Rose.

Rondo & Westbrook have too much help to be as "valuable", but they are really ballin.

You've made like the most legitimate argument for Amare being a good MVP contender I have heard.

Wow! Orlando does 2 major moves!

They trade Rashad Lewis to Washington Wizards for Gilbert Arenas.

Then they trade Gortat, Vince Carter, Michael Pietrus, 1st round pick and cash to Phoenix Suns for Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark.

Wow! This is like totally extreme to me.

Overall, I think the Magic made some great moves.  I wish they would have been able to keep Gortat, because they're now weaker in the middle when Howard has to sit (Nothing against Brandon Bass, but he's not a real center, and that rookie is...well...a rookie...) Other than that, I like their moves.

I like Hedo and J Rich but I don't understand adding Gilbert Arenas. If you thought that Vince was a pre-Madonna, Gilbert is just RIDICULOUS!!

[lordluvr]

I think Gil will be just fine.

So who should start at PG? Jameer or Gilbert?

Frankly, neither one of them is a true point guard, so it's like picking the lesser of two evils if you're only talking about that position.  Gill should play the 2.  Jameer should run the point.
