You are probably right, but the excitement of the team in Brooklyn is going to make things interesting.

Also, love him or hate him, Melo may one day carry a team deep into the playoffs.

Harden to Houston, I'm officially writing off them in the playoffs this year.

Also included: Daequan Cook, Lazar Hayward and Cole Aldrich for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and draft picks. Their bottom line was apparently more important than contending this year (even though they could have traded him later).

whoops.

Rockets will get the 7th or 8th seed this year.

Feeling pretty good about our chances for a title this year (assuming they all stay healthy) Age could show its ugly face as it already has somewhat with Kobes foot injury. Although imo our only other legitimate threat traded away one of their most prized possessions. (Harden) Who to me was the energy when Durant was'nt up to par in some of the games. With Rose out for the season most likely and Dwayne Wade creeping up on old age himself. I think we have as good of shot as any at another title. If your asking yourself why I left the Celtics out of the equasion well....I think that speaks for itself. They may very well be in the hunt come playoff time but I doubt they go very far into the mix of things.

Yes with Dwight at the helm of things and Nash dishing the ball like the Nash of old. Artest (who I refuse to call world peace) playing solid D and rebounding, Gasol getting his 12 or 15 and of course Kobe doing what he does. Is talk of another ring to high of expectation or would anything less be a disappointment? Of course our bench has to show up as well but I dont think thats going to be a problem. At any rate my hopes are high as we open the season with a game against the Mavs.

Meh Lakers blew it. Not much chemistry flow in that game last night. Maybe it will develop as the season progresses.

I don't know why Brown feels the need to use a complicated system. Maybe it will pay off in the long run, but it looks awful now. It's hamstringing most of the players (Kobe / Nash / Howard in particular).

They looked noticeably confused. Mike Brown does not look like hes been coaching them in the least. Howard and Nash didn't even seem to remotely know where their spots were in the offense. Looks like an expensive trainwreck at the moment. Babysteps.
