I like the Raptos (Except for BUSTnani), but I just can't trust a team that's depending on Jermaine O'Neal to take them past the 1st round of the playoffs.

^Ya, I know what you mean. But still, it's possible it can happen, that just depends how he ends up playing. He could end up being a very good player again, or be how he was in the past year or so, but hopefully he elevates his game. Maybe a good crowd (going from like 10 000 a game on his old team, to a team that draws 19 000 a night in Toronto) and having some teammates he likes, and a new start will help him.

19 000 a night in Toronto

Toronto has fans? :shocking:
lol anyways, sadly, Orlando loses their home opener to ATL
They looked horrible on Offense, Atlanta completely shut them down.
Atlanta lookin' good though, and they're definitely a Playoff contender.

Toronto has been top 10 in attedance in the NBA for the 5 of the past 8 years. In fact, from 2000-2004, they were top of the league in season tickets and sell outs. Last year, they were 9th, averaging 19, 500 a game, which is 99% capacity.

Raptors: 2-0.
It took overtime, but a good, hard working win.

Orlando has their lead in the 3rd Quarter right now @ Memphis.
They're looking good tonight and Dwight is showing his true defense.

Man I can't believe they lost that game at the last second. They had the momentum going and they just lost it...
They need to start looking better at their 3 point shots, they miss almost every time.

so me and King Jerry Lennie have a little wager thingy thing, if/when the Lakers win, he has to use THIS as his signature for a week.

if the nuggets happen to win I'll be using an Iverson avatar/sig for a week.

 

[exC.On]

oh wow, as much as i like AI, there going to get pounded by the lakers

 

[Soulpower]

Change your sig, Lennie!

Also, Pistons=2 and 0

You guys have your first real test on Wednesday.

^Is that against Detroit? I don't really pay attention to their schedule on game day, but anyways, I've been impressed by their record so far, and their play has mostly been good, but it's too early to judge anything yet. It's good to have a good start though.
