The return of NBA basketball


Another long summer is over, and the leaves are falling which could only mean one thing; the NBA is back once again! It was great to see the redeem team take the floor last summer to bring home the gold in the Olympics, but now it's time for all those players to suit up for each team they play for to go through another 82 game regular season. Things kick off tonight with Cleveland vs. Boston, Milwaukee vs. Chicago, and the finale pits Portland vs. the LA Lakers. Some of the things I'll be paying attention to will be...
  • Can Kobe repeat as MVP?
  • How will Greg Oden play after missing all of last season?
  • What rookies will shine, and which one's will start slowly?
  • Is Ron Artest the missing piece to move the Rockets past round one?
  • And what coach will get fired first?

There's so many sub-plots to follow with all the player movement during the offseason, the coaching changes, and let's not forget the Sonics are now known as the Thunder. I can't predict the end result of this new season but I'll bet anyone that the new 08' - 09' season will not let us fans down!
