excellent
I’ve been enjoying the NCAA games but definatley glad the NBA will be starting soon. Better late than never.
now let’s see on 21 what the new Heat roster can give…
i’ve never been so excited for preseason games in my life!…………..thanks to the lockout:) nba tv should have a Celtics preseason game but i doubt their roster would even be filled anyways lol
go kings!!!!!
WHERE ARE ALL THE LAKER FANS FROM LAST YEAR SAYING THEY WOULD HAVE A 3-PEAT, BY BEATING THE HEAT IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP…HA HA HA HA HA… TOLD YA THE HEAT WOULD BE IN THE FINALS… WHEAS ALL MY FELLOW HEAT FANS AT….TO BE CONTINUED…
The heat didn’t win, last season was a bust for them, just like it was for the lakers.
The Heat didn’t win it but they made it to the finals in the first year of the big 3. The Lakers got SWEPT in the 1st round. Oh and the Mavs without Tyson Chandler now it will become easier for Wade & Lebron to score. Dunking on Haywood and Odom!
Smart one…. The Lakers got swept in the second round…. maybe you should check your facts before you run your mouth…. I’m a Kings fan, I hate the Lakers but I at least know what happened in the playoffs…. I’m not a clueless bandwagon ignorant to everything around them.
I have a serious question, something that has been bothering me since quite awhile…who the heck are those losers who, in these hang time blog posts, keep clicking the thumbs DOWN thing on the bottom of the article? Because anyone who gave the thumbs down to this post about the return of ACTUAL games must NOT be a basketball fan. And I don’t even want to hear excuses.
Looks like we’ve got fans of other sports invading this site…probably being mad over the lockout’s end.
Dumb heat fans just think it’s easy to go back to nba finals. Only very very few teams have went back to finals after losing. Yes lakers got swept, but they wasn’t themselves in that playoffs. That first round took alot out of us, but stop drooling over Heat team thats not going to make it. The lakers already had their 3peat, and just letting yall know Kobe, and Shaq first 3 years they won back to back titles for a 3peat.
Then what happens? Kobe, and my lakers was trying to go back for a 4th time in a row to the finals. Let’s see if those heats can do that, then start talking trash. ROFL too funny!!! Lebron choked not ONCE, but TWICE in the nba finals.
Does anyone know if Mcdyess is at the spurs camp and why they have not went after any big or small fowards? I would just like to know.
why can i not see any pre season games when i log in to nba tv is it because im in the uk? heat nation!
The commentators and the city of new york talks about Jeremy Lin so much, I hate to even turn my television on to watch any channels, I am so scared that they might even interrupt for public broadcasting to say something about Lin. Since the city of New York loves him i think they should change the name from New York Knicks to the New York Linnix.
