Season starts tonight!

New season = new thread.

Get your predictions in and what not. Some of you have done that already in the off-season thread.

Tonights predictions:

Wizards at Cavs
Celtics at Heat
Mavs at Lakers

I could probably research this but I'll ask anyway

Assuming the Heat, Knicks, Pacers advance out of round one, who would Indy be up against? It would be New York right? I'd love to see a New York/Indiana playoff series again, like the good old days ... I'd also like the possibility of going to the ECF before having Lebron ruin my life for the second year in a row as he punks Paul George.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs are a first round exit this year, with or without McGrady. They're really banged up. Let's not forget that Parker is also playing injured.

I like the chances of both the Rockets & Lakers to upset them due to those circumstances, especially the Rockets considering how fast paced and athletic they are.

the spurs are 4-0 when competing for the NBA Championships, out of the 4 times they've gone to the finals. they've won each and every time.

If they face Houston, they have the confidence going in because they won the season series 3-1. I don't know about the seasons series which the Lakers but I know the spurs beat them before so its 1-1 for all i know

We can take Indiana as well. In fact, I think Indiana is dropping off a bit now and Nets would be a tougher task. I wouldn't have said that a month ago, but shit changes quick.

Anyone think Rose will return for the Play Offs?

(New Play Off thread will be made sometime tomorrow)

I love all the possible scenarios tonight. Go Lakers! I'll feel a lot more confident playing the Spurs than the Thunder. Hopefully Memphis takes care of business against Utah and then the Lakers come out and take care of business against Houston. Dwight's team in Orlando was not better than this Lakers team (even without Kobe, despite the record) and I can see us surprising people - IF we get the 7th seed. Oklahoma City would run us out of their building as well as Staples.

why do we need a playoff thread? seems UNNECESSARY.


lol @ returning. the guy will probably retire, he obviously has no confidence in himself. I literally hope he has the worst season ever next year and is no longer a superstar. That would possibly be the greatest thing ever.

I'm sure he would if the Celtics would let him. He began shooting around with the team a couple weeks ago but I don't know how far along he is. The thing about Rondo that most people don't know is that he didn't suffer a full ACL tear like Rose, Shumpert, Rubio, etc. He only suffered a partial tear and his timetable was only 4-6 months.

Rondo initially wanted to play through the injury but was pretty much forced to shut it down for the season.

On a side note, I'm leling thinking back at all the hype people used to give Derrick Williams on WF.
