I think dallas will be the champ this year. But it would be a hot fight between Dallas and Sacramento.

I havent watched much basketball this year, but the Laker and Kings will be a great challenge to other teams.

Ben and I find common Ground. I hate the Lakerz and Mike Bibby is the great white hope.Im in Conneticuit skiing its great here Ill be back like the 4th or so

   Laker's are going to kick the King's asses, so dont have enny dreams of The King's winning.

HoloGram, I agree completely. It's gonna be between the Kings and the Mavericks, a nice, heated, breakaway exciting series... Ah, I can't wait.

Kami, you're sexy.

Mattster, The Lakers have the second worse record in the conference . They aren't a challange for anyone right now... If they played like last night they would be, but the Kings just beat their A-Game, so that's gotta be depressing enough to put them back into their slump.

Tasty, The Mavericks are a contender this year, but in no sence a rival like the Lakers. First, Webber won't be indicted until AFTER the playoffs . Ahahaha, second, the KIngs will whoop on the mavs Dallas is in no way better then the KIngs... Just in record, but look at schedules.

Zai, true that Bibby is so awesome.

Ace, I seem to remember talking to you about sports the first time we met on AIM, and you said something about me being a crappy Kings fan and bragging the Lakers one... I just assumed It really was a great game,. wasn't it .

Walla, uuuh. The Lakers already lost . It'll be a challange for them to just get into the playoffs now. An analyst says just to get into last years playoffs they'd need a record of 39-19 in the rest of the season. The up and coming teams are much better now, and the crappy teams still suck, so at this point the Lakers will (in my opinion) need about 45-13 in the rest of the season. Very unlikely. (P.S. FOX GOT HIS ASS BEAT BY CHRISTIE PRESEASON. AHAHAHAH!)

NH, Not a chance . Sorry. At least you stick with a single team though. I've loved the Kings since me the days of Mitch Richmond, Spud Web (he was tight), Lyonell Simmons, Olden Polynese, Mike Perplowski..., Ahahaha. Wow, they sucked back then Maybe in a few years, the Pacers will get good! Several.... Years... The Kings had to get a whole new lineup to get where they are, seems likea  good strat to me.

Ben

Walla... 1, my names not Ban, it's just my reputation ...

2) Blue Jays suck, I just like the color blue. (Giants are my team)

3) You're sexy.

Ben

lol, I know this is an old thread that was in its grave, but I pulled it out and ITS ALIVE!

Well,
Ben, JUST wanted to put this in your face Kings lost to the mavs...kings lost to the mavs.
and its mavs vs. spurs
and no one said spurs would make it to the finals and beat the lakers, which is now a dieing Empire  in my opinion.

Fools, just because the Lakers lost doesn't mean that a dynasty is over...once they pick up Juwan Howard (who can hold his own against TD, CWebb and KG) the Lakers will be the team to beat. This coming season is going to bring a major overhaul of the Laker's roster, and all I can say is that you will be seeing them in the finals again next year.

P.S. I hate those wannabe Laker bandwagon fans...I have been a fan for as long as I can remember.

I knew that they weren't a very deep team because the owner (Jerry Buss) is a tightwad and tried to get by on the minimum while raking in maximum profits. It is now apparent to him that he will allow Mitch Kupchak to do his job and bring in some high quality free agents with the 5 mil exception and possibly a little more to go over the cap. He sees that in order to maintain a maximum cash flow coming to him, he has to invest a little more to tap into it now.
