The season is upon us. Here's a thread to post comments, news, notes and most importantly, smack about your favorite teams and hated rivals.

Go Heat!

You 'bout to get a reality check tonight homie...

How long before the lack of a bench and those egos combine to implode that team?

At least a week.

You already got idiocy like this:

^ I hope that song gets blasted when they get bounced in the 2nd round...

Well the front office already won. They sold out every ticket available on the rumor LeBron was coming. Then they fired most of the sales staff.

And, of course, the NBA won big time - the NWO arrived in Miami and the rest of the country can hate them (or love them) on national television all season long.

Thats not very likely.

My daughter (19) is a huge Laker fan... not to mention Kobe .

I haven't really cared since the Bird Celtics... but I tend to pull for the Suns and Spurs some. And anybody playing the Lakers .

I guess it was nice to have relieved the pressure of trying to match the 72 Dolphins. But in game 1?

They're hard-working under-achievers.

On second thought, at least they're not the Knicks.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at that one.

I'm pissed we let up in the 2nd half. Y'all will probably beat Philly tonight, and probably Orlando too because they are damn soft. 3 years in a row LBJ has lost on opening night to the C's...

As if the Knicks didn't have enough trouble

Knicks-Magic postponed because of asbestos at Madison Square Garden

The Orlando Magic-New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden was postponed Tuesday because of safety concerns after debris fell into the arena during overnight cleaning of asbestos-related materials.

The work was done by maintenance staff in the attic above the ceiling following the New York Rangers' game and prevented workers from laying down the hardwood floor. The ice surface was still down as of Tuesday afternoon.

Saying it was using "an abundance of caution," MSG released a statement saying it consulted with the NBA and decided to postpone the game, and wouldn't reopen the building until it was assured the arena was safe.

Well, I guess the Knicks didn't lose.

Hey, that play is the best defensive Bosh played all night!

I'm thinking the "Eric Spoelstra is resigning to spend more time with his family" watch has started.
