Basketball

Everything about this game.

Season is apporaching [in Europe and US] so I decided to start this thread, inviting you to post yer thoughts about this game. Rumours, transfers, games, players, teams, championships, leagues etc.

Stay Tunned.

ZALGIRIS

So Euroleague is opend.... however not the way I hoped but anyway... last nite opening match was held in Kaunas. Zalgiris vs. Maccabi [champions]. As it was known and expected Zalgiris was not the team which can withstand euroleague champions... four of starting lineup players are injured [Sabonis, Bagatskis, Lavrinovicius, Serapinas] so the was small hopes to gain victory... however Maccabi also have not played they used to do last spring... three quaters we stand as an equal rival to Maccabi but in the last one everything gone away...
However everything is in our hands... season is just started so everything can be changed....
Tonite's matches in NBA: Rockets vs. Pistons, Kings vs. Mavs, Nuggets vs. Lakers.

Rae, who is Tony Parker ?

i dont really follow Basketball but i saw a news flash earlier and it said he was now the highest paid French sportsman?? Tony Parker doesnt sound much like a french name ?

tony parker is a french pointguard who plays for the sanantonio spurs. in one word, he is amazing.

tonight the NBA season starts up...with 3 back to back games shown on t.v although i have loads of homework, and will miss all three!

as for my basketball team...we lost today only by 7

nba Starts!! :d

yea, and I got a free ticket to go watch Shaq's Miami Heat sometime around mid-November, not really sure against who....to be honest I'm not really excited about it since I am not a big NBA fan, but it should be fun since I'll be going with a big group of friends....I am sure the after-game party will be great

i can never forget my milanistas hehe

Last nite's matches:
Rockets 79 -87 Pistons
Kings 98 - 107 Mavs
Nuggets 78 - 89 lakers

So it started...... ...hahaha

Tony Parker...
well he is not quite a real frenchman, his one of parents is dutch and another is american I guess so.... but he was born in Paris and grown up there ...
About him as player.... well, I have seen him while he was only 17 years old...he had came with his team to play match against one of our LKL teams...I guess it was Sakalai... he hasnt done me a great impession that time... so I was surprised that he became such world wide known player... he is very quick and fast... has good coordination and dribbling though his shooting is not the best....
IMO Nash, Bibby, Jasikevicius are better playmakers than he is ......

I know it's only 1 game but I optimistic about the new look Lakers.

Despite initial fears of Kobe ball-hogging after Shaq's departure, he actually played team ball yesterday. 25 points 4 boards and 7 assists!

Chris Mihm looked awfully good in pre-season games and the season opener. Great trade with Payton going the other way to Boston!

Kobe, Mihm, Odom, Grant and Divac... The future looks bright!

f u c k lakers

LoL I used to be the biggest Lakers hater in the world..but now that Shaq is gone-and Divac is there..a different story.

Damnit Kings lost!!! What a way to start...Unfortunately I didn't get to c the game..but yesterday sucked..first Milan loses n den Kings..eh.

BTW Goirre ru a Heat fan? - LoL it would be really funny if Heat won this year..considering the Shaq switch..never was a big fann of him..Only he scarez other players,and is twice their size,and his lay ups turn out to be dunks...doesn't really make him class. Altho ..he is good in a different way. But let's not get into his free-throws

No, I am not a Heat fan....and I am not fan of any NBA team actually. Basically I am not an NBA fan ...I do enjoy watching some matches though
