NBA Basketball 2009-10 Season

[SandraC]

Yeah....that is for SI to cover their a$$ INCASE someone wants to blame the SI cover jinx for their team not making the playoffs!

SI actually loves when people talk about the SI cover jinx...because it means people are talking about SI. There is no such thing as bad publicity!

The regional cover thing is because some people will be more apt to purchase a magazine that has their local team on the cover. Athlon Sports actually puts St. John's on the cover of their magazine in the NY area, with a stupid headline like Johnnies on the Rise! Or something like that.

We all know differently.

Just a reminder as we approach the season...

Orlando's Rashard Lewis will be suspended for the first 10 games for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. It'll be interesting to see how this effects the Magic out of the gates....

The scariest part is that the Lakers got BETTER!!

The adding of Artest is BIGGER than the adding of Shaq.

Very much looking forward to the return of the TNT studio crew. So interesting and so much fun to watch. Watching TNT all the way from the pregame of game one until the final commentary after game two is over is six hours of fantastic entertainment.

Very similar to Saturday nights, watching Hockey Night in Canada on CBC. It's picked up here on NHL Network and the Center Ice package. Pregame, game one, in between games, game two, and the After Hours interview, not to mention all the interviews and commentary in between periods, Don Cherry's Grapevine, Satellite Hot Stove...you never need to change the channel.

TNT's NBA coverage is on par with that, and that's saying a lot.

I don't keep the ESPN studio crew on for one second...

I couldn't agree more!!! :up

I look forward to Thursday night's in the late fall/winter/early spring just because of Ernie, Kenny and Sir Charles!

Culminating, of course, with the "40 games in 40 nights" in April and May.

Good luck to all on a healthy and successful '09-'10 season!

I am very much looking forward to the new NBA season. T-minus 5 days until tipoff!

Can't wait! The Cavs and Celtics had a skirmish last night in a preseason game......should be interesting when they hookup next Tuesday!
