The NBA: It’s Back
The NBA kicked off last evening, and thanks to only having Eric Gordon and Drew Gooden going for my fantasy team, I’m in last place! (Long season. Other guys had full rosters to play. I’ll be OK. I think. I hope.)
A few observations on last night’s C’s-Cavs game:
+ I will never get sick of LeBron James coming from behind and blocking someone. It’s more entertaining than half his dunks.
+ Shaq is old. And slow. I know it’s early and only one game. He’ll have a few monster games this year. (He went 10 and 10 last night.) But until he shows me otherwise, I’m convinced this move was nothing but a band-aid, an all-or-nothing effort to try and get a title in case James heads to NYC.
+ The Cavs looked sharp in the first quarter, but succumbed to the “stand-around-and-watch-LeBron-do something” routine the rest of the game, and they became stagnant. Then they lost. I’m not sure how much Delonte West helps in this game, but the Cavs need another option besides James to score. The Magic have Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson, Vince Carter. The Lakers have Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, (Ron Artest). The Spurs have Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson, Manu Ginobili. We know the Celtics are stacked, and have a good bench. The Cavs have LeBron, and … Mo Williams? West? Shaq? All other elite squads have multiple options for scoring. The Cavs have the best option in the league in James, and they have good components that work well with him. (Although the jury is still out on Shaq.)
But even Michael Jordan needed his Scottie Pippen.
+ Oh, and Boom Dizzle’s beard is pretty amazing:
