That’s right. It’s that time of year again. After a long summer, it’s finally here. The World Series? No, of course not baseball, which when watched is basically a glorified sleeping aid. On the other hand, the world’s greatest, highest scoring, most entertaining sport is starting today. The NBA season is underway!
After a horrendous summer where every sports page and sports related TV show was bombarded by the dreariness of meaningless baseball games and yet another season of the Brett Favre reality show, basketball is back. Players are refreshed, coach’s voices are rejuvenated, and sports fans are ready to see some real action.
The season starts out today with a little rivalry action as the Los Angeles Lakers begin their championship defense against the lowly Clippers. While the Lakers look promising with their off-season addition Ron Artest and most everyone healthy, here’s hoping they fall short this year, because everyone knows the Lakers are annoying, Kobe is overrated, Pau is soft, and Sasha is ugly. But moving on.
In all honesty, the NBA has us absolutely stoked this year. However, we do have some pressing questions:
· Will Lebron finally get his first ring? He has the complementary players he has been missing, and with Shaquille O’Neal, aka Superman aka The Diesel, aka The Big Aristotle aka the Big Shaqtus, Cleveland definitely looks promising.
· When will the Knicks stop sucking? Seriously though, the Knicks have one of the highest team salaries in the whole league and are located in the top market in the U.S. There is no excuse other than they just plain suck, their management sucks, and they deserve to suck forever because they once employed the worst G.M. in Isiah Thomas. Seriously, that karma thing will come back to get ya.
· Which rookie, other than Blake Griffin, is going to explode and show some signs of superstardom? This year’s draft was one of the weaker in recent history, so it will be interesting to see who shines.
· When are the Thunder going to make the playoffs? If not this year, then it has to be soon. They have too much young talent not to be good.
· How good will the Spurs be? With the addition of Richard Jefferson, the Spurs are poised for another deep playoff run, but the more important question is how will Tim Duncan’s knees hold up? If he is healthy, then the Spurs have as good a chance as anyone to win it all. If not, prepare for another disappointing season.
Needless to say, this season should be a blast. While a little clichéd, only time will tell who will win it all. Truthfully, anything can happen, and just one untimely injury can ruin a season. While there are some teams we dislike, hate, or in the case of the Lakers, loathe, here’s to another great NBA season and the ABL: Anyone But (the) Lakers!
