Ok, after many days...we are back! Here are very random thoughts on the upcoming season. This is in no order and is not a prediction...that will come later.
The Celtics. Getting the new Big 3 together was the best move of the off-season. Yes, I think they have a legitimate shot at the Finals. It will still be hard to beat whoever comes out of the West but Boston has to be the favorite for the East, don’t they? They certainly can beat the Cavs in a 7 game series even if LBJ went crazy. The presence of these 3 will make everything for everyone else easy.
Portland. It is absolutely unfathomable that Oden and now Brandon Roy are going to be out now. What have they got left?? Who cursed them?? They could be historically bad.
Miami. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Wade isn’t fully back from surgery and we don’t know what he will be bringing to the table. Shaq, we know. Maybe he will play 40 games...maybe not. And after these two, Miami has nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Obviously I am looking forward to the Kevin Durant era. He will have off nights (like 5-22 last night in pre-season) but he will get his shot opportunities and they will go in.
To all the whiners and complainers (Marion, Kirilenko, Jermaine O’Neal)...shut up and play. It is amazing that Marion and AK want a trade so bad when they are on 2 of the final 4 teams in the West! I guess it is the ultimate of selfishness that they want to be where they can shine but who cares about the team. And this is AK, who is vastly overpaid to be in Utah anyway. Give me a break.
NY Knicks. So much happened to them this summer and Zach Randolph in NY is asking for trouble. Can he and Eddy Curry cover anybody? The league better suspend Isiah for disorderly conduct. they are like a car wreck that is so awful that you know you should look away but you can’t stop staring.
OK, lots more later. Outta here for now. I can’t give too many player comments until after our Fantasy League draft. Besides it is hard to think about basketball when the Red Sox are 7 games away from a title.
