The OaO 2003-2004 NBA Season Thread!

Between ESPN and the NBA, LeBron has no choice but to be THE next superstar, no matter how good/bad he ends up being. They've really booked themselves into a corner, so to say, kind of like if WWE gave Brock Lesnar the Monster Push of all Monster Pushes and he ends up getting hurt or something.

 

I wonder what will happen if LeBron just ends up being average. Not great, not bad, but just your normal 10-5-2 starting small forward. It won't happen, but that'd be funny to see how ESPN/NBA would market him.

LeBron's doing a good job so far.

How long has Tony Schiavone been calling Hawks games? :huh:

I think this is his first year.

 

And Garnett got ejected last night. :lol:

 

Tonight we have Kobe's second game of the season, oh god.

The NBA is absolutley dreadful right know. No teams can score, and no teams can shoot the ball. Hopefully this is just early season rust, and the level of play improves.

Well it does not help when 3 of the best players of the team is injuried and the bench is full of new players. I just hope the Spurs can find a way to win, losing to the Nuggets and Grizzlies is just sad.

The Wolves are even worse in terms of scoring.

 

How pathetic are the Bulls. This was a team many thought would take the next step, and at least contend for a playoff spot this year. I was one of them. They have the talent, and they've played like absolute dogs so far. Is it time to give Bill Cartwright is walking papers.

Other than Curry who is good on the Bulls?

Jalen Rose, Donyell Marshall are solid veteran players. But the younger talent like Chandler, and Crawford where supposed to elevate their games this year. So far that hasn't been the case.

I know and I have seen that the 3 big free agents are starting to produce now but averaging 80 points a game is not going to get them anywhere.

True. However, the Spurs have always been built on defense. Last year's NBA finals was a perfect example; the games were ugly as fuck, but those are the type of games the Spurs are good at.

 

They're like a python: they wrap themselves around you and squeeze the life outta you.

 

It sucks Duncan will be out 1-3 weeks but if you're going to get hurt (you never want that to happen) might as well do it at the start of the season so you can return before the playoffs, and we're a LONG way from that.

 

Plus, Pop is damn good at making sure he doesn't rush anybody back, he knows its still early. The Spurs announcers have hammered this point home a lot recently, but it's true: championships aren't won in the first week.

 

The way the West is loaded with all these superpowers, as long as you have a playoff spot you have a chance to win it all. And there are going to be at least 4 great teams who will have to get it on with each other in the first round to advance.

YOu have got to be kidding me! There has already been several good games, people scoring alot, not to mention LeBron. I know it sucks knowing the Lakers will walk away with the title, but the season is looking great, so far.

Oh yeah? I seriously have the Golden State Warriors higher in my list of potential champs than the Lakers. LA's just not winning this year.
