Hi everyone.
Just wanted to know if there are any NBA fans in neowin...
I try to follow all the games, and so I'm curious if anyone in neowin does too.
And...witch is your favorite team??? do you think they'll make it to the playoffs???
I'm a Dallas Mav's fan, and I'm pretty shure they will do a good performance this season!!
(By the way, post all your interesting NBA news here, but only the ones that you think are really worth it!!)

You are absolutely right!!!
Even before I regularly watched NBA games, I never liked the lakers. And I even liked them less when kobe bryant entered the team, and later became such a "success" --->(ok, he plays good, but he CANNOT be compared to MJ or a real pro player)
I also can't stand all the people who just say "I love the Lakers" just because of the fact that they have some of the best players or because they are the team who "everybody" speaks of.
And...what about all the LeBron James s**t, he has some mad dunks, but he's not THAT good, even though he's a rookie.(Carmelo Anthony is much better than him)
go 76ers, alan iverson is a gun

Warriors! Hardest working team in the NBA...that's all you can ask for.
It's too bad we've got a lousy owner who doesn't like to invest in long-term quality players for the team. I'm fearing the day that Jason Richardson, Erick Dampier, Troy Murphy become free-agents.

My team's the Charlotte Hornets (now not Charlotte

but I call em that anyways)
They always have the energy and give a good show, win or lose. I miss Bobby Phills R.I.P. I also thought Glenn Rice was most at home there, even if they relied on him too much. Anthony Mason is great...just so many players I love and have loved at Charlotte.
I just wish their fans were more enthused....they never show up to the games...

the lakers are the yankees of the NBA. only problem is, the NBA is much easier to dominate than baseball so they are basically untouchable. it gets really old after a while, its a love/hate thing with the lakers for most people.

2 teams....
also, anyone who watched that first round series against the Timberwolves last year, especially that OT game, really begins to wonder about the refs. they were calling phantom fouls, where minnesota players were 3 feet from the nearest laker. stuff like that just fuels the fire
i barely remember that game...hmm...i think i remember something about the ref/foul problems...
was it that the twolves were fouling the lakers? or the opposite?

the def of plenty
plen·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (plnt)
n.
A full or completely adequate amount or supply: plenty of time.
A large quantity or amount; an abundance: “Awards and honors came to her in plenty” (Joyce Carol Oates).
A condition of general abundance or prosperity: “fruitful regions gladdened by plenty and lulled by peace!” (Samuel Johnson).
2 teams is not plenty for some competition, especiallly when they have an all-start team

they were calling fouls on the t'wolves... the game was close and the lakers would have a break away or something and miss a shot, then the ref would call a foul when thre replay showed there wasnt anything even close to contact. the nba reached a new low last night. for the first time, i seriously thought it might have been rigged.
I wish the raptors would do something this year.

I'm a home team fan, so I'm usually only down with my State teams. I'm from Georgia...
With that said, it's safe to assume why I'm not a big NBA fan

Im not a fan nor do i play basketball really... We have a couple really good teams around here in Israel (Maccabi Tel Aviv for example won the euro cup or whatever it's called) and i kinda look at the games once in a while...
Im a Denver Nuggets fan...Carmello Anthony for ROTY.
It will probably be "King" James.

SHOWTIME LAKERS!!!

Lakers is the most hated team in the NBA, the "beat LA" chant can be heard in every city away from LA. But once you become a lakers fan, its for life. Doesn't matter if you move to another city, you're always a Lakers fan. Because the Lakers has a winning tradition. In the last 20 years, they missed the playoffs only once.
And for this season, with 4 hall of famers, it's merely a formality to play each and every game, it's obvious the Lakers will take the ring.
GO LAKERS!!

DALLAS won against the lakers!!!!!!
93 - 110
They ended the lakers 10 game streak...the last time dallas won at the staples center was in december 1990!!!
The referees where a little against LA, but they where against dallas on the last game where the lakers visited the mavericks, (lakers won 114-103) so it's equal now.
All the info about the gameDallas is on the way to the playoffs this year!!!
(Governor A. Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson where present at the game!)

damn...

While all pro athletes are grossly overpaid, the NBA is the worst. I can't count the number of times I've shut off a game in disgust after an entire team making a total of $150 mil would stand there and let an opponent drive to the basket for an easy jam or layup. College baseketball is where it's at. However unless David Stern does something about these players going right to the NBA or leaving college after one season, there won't be any more quality NCAA hoops.

THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST LAKERS GAME I'VE SEEN SO FAR!! since i live in LA i get every lakers game instead of pistons

but that was beautiful game.... it just got worse for the lakers as it was ending, my favorite part was when russel (lakers) passed the ball to no one.. the commentater was making fun of him, it was so funny.
then it got scary when they had cold shooting, only 2 points in 5 minutes, but they still Mav's WON!!

Yeah!!! totally right!!!!
They said russel did pass it to no one because he saw a guy with a yellow shirt sitting there, that got him confused (lame excuse!!).
And shaq missed more than the half of the freethrows!!!

jason kidd should of signed with the spurs, now he is stuck with nets.
Lakers are a joke. What kind of team needs 4 all-stars (malone,payton,o'neal and kobe) to win a championship?
Albino
Dec 14 2003, 21:02
It would be so great if the lakers wouldn't even enter the playoffs this season!!!!!!
That's what they deserve, 4 all-stars in a team, that should give them a lesson...
If the lakers coach could get kidd for the lakers he would pay even 90 mil!!!!
