So what do you think? I can still hardly control myself.
1) If I was David Stern, I wouldn't have put the Heat and the Celtics together in the season opener. Let it simmer a little bit, let them work up good records for a month or so, and then match them up in a Saturday night prime time game! It's like the NBA is already saying, "Let's get a taste of the Eastern conference finals on the first day of the season." And the Western conference day one marquee game: LA and Houston? I'm sorry, did you say Houston?? What the heck is that? Like we've all been waiting with bated breath to see a Luis Scola / Theo Ratliff match up?
2) Shaq claims that he's still a dominant force in the NBA. Come on big guy, it's time to let it go. I'm not saying he's garbage, but he's not a dominant force. If he was, we might have seen Lebron and the Cavs get a little deeper into the playoffs. More interesting is that fact that Shaq is talking with the Celtics! I have a new name for them: the Boston Geriatrics (and Rajon Rondo). The NBA is quickly becoming the "let's see how many big names we can get on one team" league.
3) I love it when articles use the term "crafty veteran". I saw it used today in reference to Jason Williams re-signing with the Orlando Magic. Is that media speak for "old guy that manages to get the job done"?
4) So who is dumber: Delonte West for ruining a $4.6 million contract by carrying weapons around or the Minnesota Timberwolves for taking him in a trade? At any rate, they cut him loose today. Good riddance for Minnesota AND the NBA. Some guys just aren't good for the sport... hmmm, wonder why nobody has picked up Allen Iverson. Practice? We're talking about PRACTICE.
5) Can you believe JJ Redick signed a 3-year $19 million contract?? Four years ago I would have bet that he wouldn't even be in the NBA in 2010. Amazing.
Please NBA, hurry up!!
