the coach is going to have to learn to use his bench. to many minutes for the starters. bad game from Bron Bron. i'm sure they'll get it going once they learn to play together though.

Yeah, I think you're right. I think LeBron may have been trying to do too much in his home return. He'll settle in, as will the rest of their guys. It's a long, long season ahead, and they've got too much talent to not be in at least the top four in the East.

The West is a total crapshoot. So many good teams out there... although the Thunder are going to be hurting something fierce for a while with Westbrook and Durant out. I just hope it doesn't make all their bench guys a force to be reckoned with and they take out the Spurs. There's no question that various injuries helped a lot of the Spurs players get more opportunities over the last few years, and it made them better for it.

Le Bron (French for "The Bron") has been cracking me up a lot lately. And not just his terrible playing but the things coming out of his mouth. I believed he said on game one "This is one of the biggest moments in sports history!". Nope. Not even close. Not even in the top one hundred. There is trying to motivate your team, and then there is just being stupid.

And then last night he said something close to "It's like building a car from scratch. It's frustrating. You go to pick it up and it isn't ready yet". Usually you don't have to pick up a car if you are building it.

Brooks and Butler (and da Bullz) look pretty decent. Not expecting a championship, but they do look pretty good.

Bulls are honestly the best looking team in the east right now. Pacers are playing surprisingly well considering how shitty our roster is right now. honestly i'm stoked to see players like Chris Copeland and Donald Sloan getting actual playing time and doing a LOT with it (Sloan had like 31 points tonight against the Wizards, and Cope had a double double).
