2010-11 NBA Basketball Season

[BillD1984]

My Finals prediction:

Celtics over Lakers in the rubber match (of this generation).

Call me a homer, but I'm not sure that Miami has an answer for the beef the Celtics will have inside once K-Perk comes back in January. (Perk, O'Neal Boys, KG and Baby).

Wow. Just wow.

Finals Prediction for the LB haters .. MIAMI HEAT WINS in 2011

 

[BillD1984]

Strictly hypothetical question:

If say, Paul Pierce gets into a fight with LeBron tonight, does Pierce get a standing O at the Q tomorrow night?

Honestly- my answer would be yes.

Before I watched the new LeBron commercial I thought he was a DB.

After watching I think LeBron is a bigger DB.

you ready for "yours" in 2011 ... I'd say yeah will happen

I saw 2 three-peats LIVE and in person...believe me when I tell you that I know ALOT about NBA Championships more than most.

 

[salsadancer7]

Over/under: 40 wins for the Knicks?

I will say over...and in the playoffs, one and done.

In the town of "brujeria"(latin witchcraft), "santeria"(sort of like heavy worshiping of "saints") and Carribean woodoo(from Haiti, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Virgin Islands)....and all they got is one measly witch doctor from some little hick town in Ohio??!! Please......LOL!

Pierce has done a REASONABLE job on LeBron in the past, and I think the combo of Celtics bigs could at least contain Bosh. That leaves Wade, and I have to admit that could be a major problem.

IMO, there's matchup problems on BOTH sides, and that's why this season series should be VERY interesting.

Well.....Things are different because back then, as in Cleveland...if you did a "reasonable" job on Lebron...you had a better than 50-50 chance of stopping anyone else on the Cavs. Face it, it was ALL about Lebron. The ENTIRE offense was based on him. Not in Miami. THE "x-factor" for the HEAT and the entire league will be..."ok, we relatively slowed down Lebron and Bosh with our main 2 guys....ok...who will cover Wade...."

Boston's advantage is height. But most of their height is older...slower. CAN experience OUTPLAY age....?

Man this season is gonna be fun.....:up

There are a lot more title threats in the East.

I could see at least 4 Eastern Conference teams represented in the NBA Finals- Celtics, Heat, Magic, Bulls.

In the West, the Lakers are a runaway favorite- with Dallas and Oklahoma City next in line, but not seen as mega-threats.

However, I am picking Dallas to win the West.

 

[pro96]

why is no one even considering the Cavs at all?? LOL

And point guard. Rajon Rondo gets better every season.

You should be more concerned with the Thunder, Suns, and Jazz than the Cavs.

In the West, don't forget about Utah. Sure, the Jazz lost Carlos Boozer, but they added a VERY underrated Al Jefferson.

Bill thinks the Southeast will be the NBA's most competitive division.

What do you consider to be the least competitive NBA division this year?

 

[salsadancer7]

And point guard. Rajon Rondo gets better every season.

Excellent point...unless Wade or Lebron plays the point. I honestly see what Orlando did with Hedu....use Lebron as a point-forward...but we shall see.

When it rains, it pours- and for now, it seems to be pouring on Miami.

Granted, starting on the road is tougher than opening at home, but still.
