i watched a story on espn about chris paul the other day, got all teary eyed and shit..a couple days after he had signed to play for wake forest, his grandfather was murdered outside of his own house. the game after the funeral, paul vowed to score 61 points, the age of his grandfather when he passed. he got fouled while shooting and got the and1 giving him 61. he then airballed the free throw and they subbed him out.
i got mad love for cp3. and the addition of james posey (how the fuck did danny ainge let that happen!?) instantly makes the hornets the #1 contender to the western conf champs lakers. the rockets are going to surprise people too. of course the spurs are gonna be in there too. fuck man, it seems like every team in the western conference are going to be in the playoff race. hell, even the clippers with the homie baron davis and marcus camby! this is the best i've seen the NBA since the jordan days.
but yeah, its about a minute before half and the lakers are destroying the trailblazers. they're playing suffocating defense and running every chance they get, things look bright. as for the boston game, lebron needs to make his fucking free throws. i purposely didnt watch that wack ass ring ceremony, its a new season damnit!
