I don't care about the baseball playoffs, I hardly pay attention to the NFL. I'm catching a couple Cal football games (wow, you showed great D in that loss to UCLA). What I'm REALLY waiting for is November and the return of the NBA. To get a little tease, the Warriors' first pre-season game against the Lakers is going to be broadcast on the local Fox Sports station tomorrow at 10PM. Let the games begin!

oh, and motown ... your warriors are shaping up pretty nicely as well. if baron can stay healthy and return to his old form (his numbers after the trade last year were great) they should always be a pretty exciting team to watch. that kid mickael pietrus needs to find himself some more minutes though ..
Speaking of coaches, how is Phil Jackson going to use the Triangle Offense with a rebuilding team with only one player (Kobe) that can hit an 18 foot jump shot? I assume he'll make Odom into the point forward, Kobe will play more off the ball, which will help the whole team, but they've got Kwame "I quit on my team during the playoffs because I didn't like Gilbert Arenas" Brown, Chris "Hi, I've been in the NBA for a while but no one knows" Mihm and a High School kid to play the post, plus a bunch of no names at point guard. That's not a lot to play with.
interesting that larry brown went to the knicks. i had totally forgot about that, it was so long ago.
baron davis is one of my favorite players, i think i went to every one of his college games. that dude has major game.
Here we go again.
LA does not have many promising prospects, and with a GM that got rid of Caron Butler and kept Odom, I'll be happy if the Lakers clinch the 8th spot in the West.

it's going to be a loooooooooong season in Lakerland
major co-sign
So-cal LOVES this fool. He has some of the best instincts in the game. What I mean is he knows when and where to shake opponents, leap for a steal, etc.x2
I don't know how many ILL!!!!! plays i've seen from him. As you said Dave, this guy got GAME. Most definitely one of the THE most exciting players to watch. When he doesn't have chronic back and knee injuries, he's a certified baller.
I mean seriously, how many players in the league can shake a perimeter defender and drain a pull-up three? or cross his defender at the top of the key, only to spin move off another, and finish strong over the opposition center? very few.
too bad he's never gonna win a ring. (although i want him too).
B-DIDDY, COME PLAY IN LA!!!
I like Aaron Mckie. Although he is a bit old, he knows how the play the game.
Sasha who?
I usually do a league with some hommies, but a Strutter one would be cool as well. Can we get enough people to be down? Lesson learned from last year, select the head-to-head option and not just the long term one. It got WAY boring 3/4s into the season. At that point everyone is in their spots and its pretty much
Anyone tried ESPN, is that pay-to-play or free as well?
Yeah I was wondering about which option to pick. It does seem like head to head would be better.
now that we're gonna win the 'chip.

this is great. so many warriors fans up in this board! i havent seen so many warriors fans in one place since i was at a game and even that gets a bit dicey when the lakers are in town.
i havent been so eager for the season since 1993 i think.
go W's!
