I live in Nashville now, so I'm stoked to be able to have a decent near-home team (vs. the Wizards last year when I was in Washington DC), and to get out to some games. Tickets are fairly affordable this season given last year's playoff run into the semi's.
I am most excited for:
• The Timberwolves' new lineup of synergized, young players.
• Ricky Rubio specifically.
• Season-long CP3 and Blake Griffin cross-court, alley-oop hook-up's.
• Seeing how bad the Celtics are this season.
• Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen finally retiring at the end of this season.
• Kevin Durant getting a run for his money as league point leader.
• Derrick Rose vs. Ricky Rubio vs. CP3 for MVP title.
• Heat's shifted focus to defense; interested to watch that play out.Mostly can't wait for church (playoffs) to start...

That special he did, the decision show, made a lot of money, all of which he gave to a foundation he supports. As far as the wording he used about bringing his talents to south beach, yeah that wasnt smart, but that doesnt make him a villain or anything. And yeah he also looked stupid when he said they would win not 1, not 2, not 3, etc... championships, but whatever, he isnt the brightest guy in the world, but he's not a bad guy either.
He does have a pretty mild ego for someone as good as he is and for how much attention he gets. He's been pretty normal for the most part. He even took a Cavs team to the FInals that had no business being within a sniff of it. That was all him on a very mediocre team. How many players have ever done that before? Having a little ego isnt the worst thing in the world. He's certainly no Ron Artest which is a good thing. He doesnt talk much shit during games or celebrate too much, or give himself all the credit. He never does that.
- Hes been branded as the villain. This is obviously to help drive story lines and keep people talking, to keep the NBA relevant.desmo
- relevant. Why is Durant 'the good guy'? Makes for a great Finals match up.desmo
- Durant is the Good Guy because hes humble, and he stayed with the team that drafted him, even when he had the chance to jump ship. He stayed the course, how can you not respect that?Al_dizzle
- the chance to jump ship. He didn't. He showed class and loyalty... so yeah hes the good guy.Al_dizzle

I love that LeBron gets 30 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals and people will still criticize him.
- it's the people vs. lebron "3 quartes" lames i mean jamesJG_LB

Cygnus you are right for the big part about him...what I like about him is that he is a pass-first superstar, and he has a lot of assists (even when he was in Cleveland) BUT he is annoying sometimes...decision show, parade thing, king lebron stuff
but of course, he can laugh at my bank account, at my basketball skills, my dick size...there's many things that Lebron can say about me, and I think that I should stop hatin him :)

Looks like James will get his ring, but 1 wont be nearly enough for what he promised when those 3 got together.
Westbrook is way too much of a ball hog and thinks he's the best player on the team which he isnt. Takes way too many shots for a PG when he needs to be distributing more for a more balanced offense and get everyone involved and flowing well. Instead he tries to do it all himself and they still lost.
Durant should be putting up 40 in these games, and when he's in a rhythm he's much more clutch down the stretch than Westbrook. Then Westbrook makes 2 critical mistakes at the end. He's trying so hard to be the reason why they win, and they're losing because of it. Durant is a 3x scoring champ and can beat the Heat if the rest of the guys just do their jobs but Westbrook is fucking it up. He doesnt get what it takes to beat the best teams.
- I feel like Durant has had good looks but hasn't been able to capitalize on them.WrappedInBooks
- He needs to be in a rhythm. Jordan was like that too.CygnusZero4
- Westbrook was the best player in the court last night. All this hype about him playing "wrong" comes from people who are casual fans.scrameone

Honest question: why are the Mavs lackluster this season?
- no more chandler or barea and dirk was out of shape. and odom is underachieveing.fiver
- Chandler nuff saidHijoDMaite
- yeah, losing chandler and barea hurt. odom has sucked too.johnny_wobble
- but the stars are doing great!johnny_wobble
- still drunk...wagshaft
- Getting rid of Barrea and Chandler was the stupidest trade of the year, IMO.dMullins

the foul RW committed after the jump ball was total lack of experience. i'm surprised brooks didnt yell out the 5 sec shot clock to his team before the jump.
RW went off in this game though. but so did chalmers and lbj was clutch even with the cramp. as soon as he got back in after being down 94-92, they go on a 7-0 run.
