what, really? Stuckey starting?
I gotta say, it seems that dumars just went into fuck-it mode.......
The contract he gave Prince might be the dumbest of the year.....had that contract been signed last year, it might have been Amnesty'd!!! hahaha
between that contract for Prince and Stuckey, and waiving Rip for nothing, what a terrible offseason for the Pistons
They need to build around Knight and Monroe

This sucks to see A) because the Pistons have been a top team for so long and B) it's hard to hate on Dumars just because of his history with the team..lol Hand the reigns over to Knight now though and let he and Monroe grow together..I'm fine with starting Stuckey at the 2, just bring Gordon off the bench.

kfil / bna.....thoughts on first griz game? I was loosely following on the internet.....bench has the feel to it that it could be hot garbage all year....of course, if anyone on the bench does good, they will just get traded......
looking at the rocket box score.....kevin martin apperantly forgot how to shoot......looks like lowry and scola are only good players on the team right now.....and how bad is thabeet that he can't even be active against D-Howard.....and I have a feeling that McHale is going to be a complete disaster.........dumb move getting rid of adelman.....with sloan and phil gone from coaching, Adelman is the only coach in the NBA that emphasizes a pass and cut offense instead of iso or pick-n-roll......maybe I should be a twolve fan.......
And looked at the kings-lakers box score a second ago....I miss watching chuck hayes play.....pau gasol probably hates that guy, since Chuck Hayes is a man and Pau Gasol is a girl.....
this season is going to be some fucking terrible basketball.........no practice and too many games in a short amount of time......
And I'm starting to slowly believe that NBA could be just as popular and make just as much money, if they only had 16 teams....forget contracting a few teams..........the only way to have NFL style parity will be to cut the league in half......Don't get me wrong, I love watching basketball, even the players on the Bobcats, Bucks, Hornets, etc......but the fact that only 4 or 5 teams can have consistently good play and be title contenders is fucking stupid......

Grizz turned it over 22 times in the first 3 quarters. Game . Set. Match. Can't beat spurs like that. Manu still a bitch, drew 4 phantom charge calls, Tim Duncan still a bitch, literally did the arms over head whine 3 min into first game of season.
Rudy looks rusty, as would be expected. I am starting to believe the rumbles about tony Allen and his mind set,he was TERRIBLE last night, his plus/minus must have been -76,just awful, TOs, jacking up early shots,over reaching on D thus allowing easy buckets.
Also, we needed Vasquez so bad, Pargo is ok, but he is a SG, not a pg. like I said before, the roster is way off balance. We need more depth at the 4/5.

Um, did you see the BS they were calling TD for last night? He made a normal post move against Gasol, no use of the off arm, and actually got fouled by Marc if anything, but they nail him for his third foul of the first quarter? Absurd. Then he gets his fourth later in the game for catching the ball right where a Grizzly is in his path not allowing him to move. They were calling some absolutely terrible fouls early in the game. And only two of those charges were "phantom", I'll give you that. The other two were legitimate. Anytime Manu gets a charge it's a fan's natural reaction to think he's flopping every time. Not so. What happened to Z-Bo? He was awful last night. I enjoyed it. A healthy Manu tore the Grizz up. That behind the back pass to Leonard was something else. Good start to the season.

Stork and Slough hate the NBA
I would think if Stork had an allegiance it'd be the Warriors though.

I live near Philly so I also pull for the Sixers. But yes, I am a big Spurs fan, absolutely.

I'm a PHILLY guy so I'll root for 76ers, but I'm not too big of an NBA fan...I prefer the NHL way more.

Im a lakers Fan
Sirphawk is a Phoenix fan, he was a big lover of sir charles
Have watched nearly every game so far on the net, cant believe the total lack of intensity from Dallas
Im worried about my lakers, but in saying that, Bynum missing the first 4 games really hurts us because he is clearly our 2nd best player, Gascol is just soft on defence really
Got a multi up on opening day because i stayed away from the LA v Chi game
today I have put another multi on
Atlanta into Miami into Portland
Looking at placing another multi but i am nervous about my lakers and I honestly reckon the Bucks - Wolves game could go either way!!

I still watch a few minutes of Warriors games here and there... I can usually watch about 5 minutes before I get disgusted at the refs. If the Warriors made the playoffs I'd probably watch those games though.
