The 2008-09 NBA thread

Well the preseason kicked off last night.  Here\'s to a Celtics repeat !! Green 18 !

[Vassillios]

Could be another Boston year

I am not a Knicks fan but I will be interested in seeing how they produce this season.

Not a huge basketball fan of this professional sport but enough to want to see the Celtics succeed.

Go move to L.A. if you love the Lakers so much.

[ChrisPitch]

In fact I think I will move to LA. I love Louisiana.

Good. If you read carefully you would have noticed the L.A..

Its OK though, you are still learning.

Louisiana loves YOU!

There you will only be a short drive away from Oklahoma City and the Thunder basketball team.

What did Oklahoma City name the team?

Yeah, they made HUGE moves in the off season signing 12 year veteran free agent Allan Houston and Euro-rookie chump Dan Grunfeld.  I\'m setting my expectations low for the knickerbockers

I don\'t see him on their front office staff listing.

I actually think I remember hearing he was fired shortly after that other dude took over as gm?

[Drew_Kingsley]

As of right now I see no reason why the Celtics won\'t repeat, but the NBA is all about which of the top-tier teams are healthy come playoff time.

Just ask Andrew Bynum and the Lakers. I think they could have won that series with Bynum in the lineup.

donny walsh booted him

Donny Walsh, yes, that is the name I was thinking of.

I haven\'t heard of any Basketball transactions because of baseball and football, have look the NBA over.

Bulls should be disappointing again. Derrick Rose will be fun to watch.. Joakim Noah? Not so much. Our big man discrepancy will make for a shit season, no doubt. But I\'m patient, a few years building around Rose as the orchestrator should work out. I think he\'s a fucking stud. Best athlete to come into the NBA in awhile.
