Post your thoughts on the most irrelevant regular season in decades in the NBA here.
Heat Lakers Smush Parker hope Lebron breaks Kobe's face.
Jeremy Lin signed with Houston so he can be buddy-buddy with KevJumba
The Houston GM did an AMA on reddit that was excellent. Gave a great insight into his plan with Lin and the team as a whole, I think the Rockets are in good hands. Their owner wants to win and the GM knows how.
The west is interesting this year. My projected west playoff bracket is currently:
1. LA
2. OKC
3. Memphis
4. Denver
5. Clippers
6. Spurs
7. Jazz
8. Rockets
Timberwolves could find themselves in that 8 seed I think too. Northwest division will knock the Nuggets down to the 4 and OKC down to a 2 even though I think OKC is right now still better than LA.
But who knows.
Lakers daa beessss
Can't wait for them to follow the LA paper champs trendQuote:

I think the Rockets will be a really nice team this year now. Not Championship level, easily a playoff team now. They will be fun to watch.
Good offense, no defense.Quote:

If you're going to jeopardize principle you don't do it for a 6th man who can't defend. This probably helps take pressure off Lin, but he'll still be exposed. OKC = winner.Quote:

Kevin Martin is one of my most disliked players in the NBA. Well see on Jeremy Lamb, he's a rookie.
The bigs for Houston is gonna be their downfall. Lin won't be anywhere near he was last year but can still be valuable with Harden. The Rockets made a great trade but aren't anywhere near a contender for much.
Kevin Martin is 30 years old this season and is showing signs of being into his decline. He dropped 6 ppg last season which was his only stat of value. He was very good at getting to the foul line in Sacramento but last year only got there 4 times a game.
His passing has improved and assists have gone up but he's still decidedly mediocre at that. I'd take a considerable amount of 2 guards in the league over Martin. It's a complete and total downgrade from James Harden. If Jeremy Lamb or these draft picks pan out then I will make a different decision on this trade but I've always felt the NBA is about acquiring talent not consistently trying to develop it because there are so many busts every year.
Harden deserved to get paid more than OKC offered him.
This makes OKC worse than the Lakers now, IMO. They won't be able to run all game without the strongest bench player in the league.
I do too, but I don't see them getting past either LA or SA or OKC or Dallas in the playoffs.Quote:

OK, not Dallas. Fair enough.
The Rockets will be much improved, but the West is tough.
