Lakers look good
They dismantled a hyped Trailblazers team. Odom off the bench will work just fine. Should be a good year.

I liked Odom's pass to Vuckacic (sp?) in the first few minutes of the game.

I hate the Lakers probably more than any pro sports franchise out there.
I'm also a realist. I think they'll win the whole thing this year.

I think the Jazz will be tough though and I think that with the addition of James Posey the Hornets will be really good, give them a bit of toughness that they lacked.

True, but it's the first game of the year. Some careless turnovers for sure. But I liked the tempo and that they pushed up the floor often. More than anything I liked the defense. The Lakers were all over the court and Bynum back in the middle helps a ton. Though he is still playing a bit tentatively it seems. He needs that moment where his knee is tested and he realizes he is okay and that it won't give him any problems.

The Hornets improved by adding Posey. The Rockets improved added Artest. Maybe Yao stays healthy, which will help them in the post-season, as well. The Jazz basically did nothing to improve. Not sure they will even make it past the first round, quite honestly. They have to hope that the Spurs get old really quickly. I wouldnt be surprised if the Jazz traded AK at the Feb deadline.

The big players int he west did something to get better except for the Jazz. I hope it is Boozer instead of AK. Boozer is gone anyways.... At least try and get something for him. |
