    We have a great chance to do so. Since bringing in the new players, we close out the season 32-12 or something close to that. With that rate and improving upon that with the addition of Swift/DA and we could possibly win more then 70% of our games giving us a 1st or 2nd seed in the west making our trip to the promise land a lot easier. Don't give up hope!

    What I want to know is when is the NBA going to offer streaming games online, like MLB.

    Yes. Yes I am.

    They usually have the Early bird special at the beginning of October. Unfortunately, preseason games are not available on LP.

    The bigger steps we make toward a great season I get more and more scared that something bad will happen, like Dr. Jones says..

    I am pumped too, but we have 2 more months to go. Hopefully baseball and football can take my mind off basket ball for those two months.

    if your getting league pass via digital cable..then wait till during preseason to order League pass..they offer the preseason League pass for FREE..as a promotion..not sure if they do that for satellite...and during this promotion time u can get LEague pass for 179 bux..instead of the normal 199 bux..

    this is all experience from last season..and im assuming they wont change all that much this season

    We came out a first round loss and added DA and Swift;
    The Heat came out of a EC loss and added Walker, Posey and JWill;
    The Spurs came out of a championship run and added Scola, Finley and NVE...


    Championship? I love the team, but I don't think it will happen too soon... :( Sorry, next time, I will offer free umbrella during the parade.
