Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Excited to see my Suns! Hopefully our depth will be much improved.

I was kind of disappointed that both teams won't be at full strength for Game 1. Shit NBA pre season is short and soft.

Yep, I agree. It will still be great to watch.

Fair and true. The GOAT returns tonight.

First quarter of this Lakers game was necessary.

Pre-season doesn't mean much but the Lakers weren't playing with any defensive cohesion or intensity whatsoever.

They needed to get punched in the mouth and reminded that defense matters even in the regular season.

Once again, KCC proves how completely full of shit he is.

4 posts into the new thread for this season and he's already displaying his insecurity.

Don't make me mute another goddamn NBA thread.

Seriously - we get it. I'll start a Non-LeBron ball washing thread if you can't keep from spamming this one into oblivion.

Knock it the **** off.

If he says it enough times it'll be true though! Don't you see?

Is it any surprise that the Lakers fell to pieces when LeBron left the floor in the 1st quarter tonight?

I can't help that LeBron's peers see him for who he is.

Whatever you say clown.

"Consensus doesn't matter but individual opinions that agree with me do!"

It's like you base your entire Internet personality on Barry. What a loser.

Always so personal. I would say that the individual opinion of one of the few multi-time MVPs in league history who played with LeBron in the back third of his career probably has some merit in that discussion, though, yeah.

By stepping on his foot and tripping him, yeah. Offensive foul.
