oburixus Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 At last, the season is kicking off TODAY! Sleepless nights are starting again. This season will be the toughest season of all! (at least for the last 5 years, which I know) West lost their big names such as Shaq, Francis, ... East lost some names, too, such as T-Mac, KMart.. Both sides seem to be a lot closer to each other when their powers are compared. It is going to be tough to pick the winners :happy: Who do you think will be: -Contenders of WEST and EAST? -Surprises? -Finals Candidates (a bit early, but its never to early to start :p ) Ring Ceremony at 7:00 PM EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 All I am hoping for is that the Warriors finally win the close games this year. They lost so many games last year in the final 3 minutes, it made me sick. Hopefully Mike Montgomery won't go through too many growing pains coming from Stanford, and alot of the players have already commented on how much of a player's coach he is. We'll see... Minus Detroit, the West is still the conference of domination. 1 through 8, the West is much harder to predict and they have about 10 teams playoff-capable. Other than Detroit, none of the other teams can compete in a 7 game series with anybody in the West. Miami may have got Shaq but they lost alot in return; I'm not sold on them, especially since they haven't played one regular season game yet. Surprises: Phoenix, Cleveland, Utah, Golden State, Chicago Finals: Minnesota vs. Detroit - Minnesota in 6; KG no longer has the Lakers to worry about in the Conference Finals.

[yt] Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm excited for the season to start.. now I have something to watch Tues - Sat when football isn't on ;) My Nuggets start the season tonite against the Lakers and I can't wait to see Melo and K-Mart in action. They were 6-1 in the pre season so I hope that is a sign of good things to come. Let's Get It Started In Here.... :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Greeno~ Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I can't wait either, I'm a massive Sonics fan, though i'm worried its gonna be a loooooooooong season :-\ I've supported Seattle for 10 years now i reckon, and our management just plain sucks. I hope the Nuggets rape the lakers 2nite tho :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candy Dimsum Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I belive the kings are the second best in the west. They are really underrated man I know kg is one hella of a player but the kinds should have one that series vs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatik Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Welp, just as I said before, the Warriors lost 78-75 to start the season. Another close game, at home, and they lose in the 4th quarter. I think there's a curse. The curse of Run TMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
