Toughest season for the last 5 years [NBA '05]


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
