No No No...He does the pre-game ( in locker room) salad toss now...

You just couldn't fight the urge to make some completely gay comment that sounds like it came straight out the mouth of a true got.

I know a thing or two about sticking pricks in a man's ass. Seems like you do too except it has nothing to do with juicing.

HarlemHo = Ace got his ass tore in two.

I don't expect a Pakistani to be able to tell the obvious difference between two posters.

W/o Wade last season, LeBron's team was the #1 seed last year. W/o LeBron, Wade's team was the...5th seed

If the Heat finish with the 1st seed, you know who the common denominator is, and it ain't Wade AMIRITE? Simple logic homie.

Simple logic and you don't even understand it. Look at the supporting cast of each team. Lebron had a much deeper team and still failed to lead them.

Let's go, Ace. Tree of woe for you, nocker.

Chop, chop!

It may be Wade's team but it's still Kobe's NBA.

Agreed.

I'm pickin' the Suns to come out of the West.

I'm rolling with the Grizzles... gonna make sure Lebuns don't see a ring...

I'm not being facetious, Kool. I'm stoic in this prediction. As a religion I don't do predictions, but, I feel strongly about this one. I know whence I speak and the Suns during this off-season have conjured the precise mixture of leavings & gettings. Pushing Amare out was genius. Quietly bringing Childress back across was genius. Somehow/someway getting the Knicks to give up that gigantic trade exception to enable Hedo was the crowning touch. He'll transcend Nash. Sky's the limit for this Suns team.

say it ain't so Cully? I know you in Arizona and all but you're loyalties now divided...this is some smiles and cries type ...

So what does that mean for your le prediction...Cully I'm starting to think you rooting for LA last year was really over some previous butt hurting you received when you maybe lived in Boston...what say you Cullly?


I need answers man...

[Giuseppe]

lol cmon cubby you can't be serious. a team with a 36 year old nash, jason richardson, josh childress, and hedo turkoglu as it's best players, with no real interior presence on offense, is going to come out of the west? hedo at pf has failure written all over it. then you've got a weak bench consisting of dragic, frye, hill, it's just an odd assemblage of players that doesn't fit together at all.

Nash & Hedo will be the goods, fortifying each other from the opening bell. Childress will blossom under the tutelage of Nash, as will Warrick. JRich is in his contract year.

The subtraction of Amare can't be minimized. He was terrible here, on both ends. Had no clue how to play NBA ball. He'll be fine in NYC where symbolism over substance is honored.

Also, and just a hunch, but, I feel "disaster" about to befall the Lakers. We're overdue for it.

No, the Lakers still live in my heart & mind.

A prediction doesn't mean support. Just relaying an epiphany I had last night laying on the couch at 3AM thinking about Kor I. Ellis, the Suns, and Luva.

My man Cully done turned into a voodoo witch doctor... Wicked witch of the west...

Cully for the record the fact that Bynum has been injured 3 straight yrs is in and of itself a disaster...

Mark my words we fall it won't be at the hands of the Suns...Gasol and Odom won't let it happen...and as for Nash...he'll have to deal with Blake now...

[Giuseppe]

cubby you had this feeling last year, but look how that turned out

No way. I worried about the Lakers losing, but, not the Suns winning half the enchilada.

[DJB]

Since the Lebron nut ryders seem to be confused. Its Wade's team Lebron joined not the other way around. Wade carried the Heat all these years and did something Lebron failed to do for the Cavs. Bring home a ship.

Carried them where?

[Ace]

Carried them where?

Just start watching basketball?

Cully....you are a laughing riot...you just need to get more sleep and stop the late night menage-a-trois..

I think about Kori too but mainly I wonder how cute she is and why she won't return my emails...


but seriously I had a vision in 2009 and it told me that L.A will win the next 4 out of 5 les...in succession. we're halfway there...

I know you feel love for the Suns...this prolly the only thing Vulvaface has ever been right about.

But I ain't mad at cha...Cully you been a fine LA representer......

carry on...

[Giuseppe]

the lakers losing was the only part i was talking about. the lakers aint gonna just fall off tomorrow, and as for the phoenix thing, i think you are delirious. what they did this summer is NOT how you build a winning basketball team.

The players the Suns got, and the player they got rid of made them much stronger. I'm telling you right now:::Hedo & Childress are made for this team and for this town. I'm confident of those two and their impact. Warrick is either going to be something else again, or, a stumbler/bumbler. I think Nash will instill in him some quality court time where his impact will be decidedly positive. They feel they can mold Warrick from the ground up. Amare was staganant/static.

It's just my mere hunch on the Lakers. I sense calamity, upheaval there, strongly so. Its wide open in the West if we're compromised. The Suns are swell at stepping into a breach.

Cully no disrespect but this is just so over-the-top insane....remember the job LA did on Hedo in the 09 finals and we didn't even have Ron Ron...we closed out on Orlando's shooters something the Lebron led Cav's didn't know how to do...

Health is an issue for every team...So how does Phx adjust to injury...have you factored that...how will Nash match up with Blake...How will the Suns adjust to a well rested Fisher....Amare if nothing else kept Gasol honest...who's gonna do that now...If Bynum is healthy who stops him...and if Bynum isn't playing who stops Ratliff...What about the Suns Killer in Odom...who checks him..

The reason LA will 3 peat is simple....We have 3 Key things other teams don't have as we do...

1.) Perimeter defenders that are hard nosed and take no (Boston just let there best Kobe defender walk and Wade and Lebun's aren't as committed defensively as Artest and Barnes)

2.) Interior defense - we have 2 ft'ers and 2 almost 7 ft'ers...Bynum is a throwback center wide body...with Ratliff showing him how to really defend the paint this will be a mutha ing insane year for LA on the blocks...

3.) Kobe - My is healthy...and if it holds...offense and defensively you're about to witness 88 - MJ all over again...

Intangibles:

Coach: Phil in his last season has already said he wants it to be a glorious season...talk about pressure on his players from opening tip-off

Bench: Lakers have probably one of the deepest bench rotations in the league. We just won it with only Odom as a quality bench guy...now he's coming off a another summer championship confidence high leading our second unit...and if Fish agree to comes off the bench it's over for the league...
