The L.A. Times picks the Spurs as the number one team in the West and the Heat as the number one team in the East.

And with the addition of Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel to their already deep bench, the Spurs are again the team to beat.

The Times sees the Lakers no better than number ten in the West. :sweat:

The Suns are going to be without Amare Stoudamire for half the season, with his injury, not sure if their addition of K Thomas can take up some of slack, they are a different team this year with losses to Quentin richardson and Joe Johnson, but now have radja bell and K Thomas. Just have to see how they do now... :beatyou: :bonk:

What? No Clippers fans? :banghead: I guess they would be posting on an S & M site.

The Times placed the Clips in the sixth position in the West, four positions above the Lakers. :sweat:

Without a decent center, they can't compete with the Spurs and others.

I could never figure out why the Warriors fired Musselman, I thought he was doing a good job. Now they seem back on the treadmill to medicority. :crazy:

well, Lakers are entering the fourth almost tied with the Nuggets in Denver...
The Clips win against Sonics at Seattle, Cassell drops in 35 points for the Clips. :bonk:

Man, I should have picked him up in the free agents pool in my fantasy league :banghead: . I was hesitant to pick Cassell because based on his stats last season, this guy is injury-prone but can be really useful when healthy :doh: .

Lotsa turnovers by the Lakes, but they got away with it this time.

Smush Parker looks pretty impressive, but the Lakers' big men need work... Any team with a decent center is gonna cause them a lotta trouble... :sweat:

I actually liked E Muss (they showed signs of improvement), but I'm guessing the Warriors needed to get back in the news after the dismal seasons. Hiring Mike Montgomery from Stanford would mean repeated news stories for a little bit.

Lakers against Phoenix tonight, on TNT cabletv
s/b exciting, too bad phoenix is without Stoudamire for half the season..., he will be missed in Sun's frontline. :bonk:

Lakers get :beatyou: Reality sets in. Joining the great Lakers names of the past like Wilt, Kareem, Majic, Shaq, Kobe we now have, , , , SMUSH?!? But it looks like he can play :woot:

for some reasons, some of my posts and others got deleted in the past few hrs, not sure why, anyhow, going to repost this...

Miami, got beat by the pacers, and they were simply outplayed. Miami looks vulnerable now, and without Shaq, they are just another average team. Pacers look tough now, with Ron Artest back in the line up.

Lakers, lack interior defense/offense, overall, they lack team unity and Kobe is doing most of the work, once again. The big difference is that Phil Jackson is back at Coach, and Kobe's shot selection is better. Mihm, Brown better step up, cause this team lacks depth.

The reason was explained in this thread buddy :mrgreen:

Miami lost to the Pacers.....I'm a bit shocked :shocked:
Thought the team was strong enough to win some tough games w/o Shaq

I saw in a basketball Magazine at the Kino.....that there is a Japanese player in the NBA??? on the Lakers??? correct me if I'm wrong :sweat:
