Some serious questions already notable for this year's NBA season. When will the NJ Nets win a game and right their sinking ship? How effective is Shaq at helping Lebron and the Cavs? Are the Nuggets a legit contender now, after beating the Lakers and holding Kobe scoreless in the second half? Why are Atlanta and Portland so good this year? What in the heck happened with Allen Iverson?

A.I. my all time favorite player.Hes not happy being a 2 guard.And hasnt looked in the mirror and realized.Hes gotta PRACTICE.Joking hes just getting old.Shaq mmm still early.Nuggets will contend in the west.I thought they would beat la last year but hell what do i know.And portland is full of young talent.I look for the other la team(Clippers) to be great within 3yrs

Ok, I'm gonna ask a question here and feel free to make fun of me for asking a 'girl' question

Rasheed Wallace, that spot on his head...........bald or gray? Seriously, I've wondered for years and had debates with many.

I believe it is a bald spot.

I just know that if I was a reporter, I would definitely ask him, especially right after a very tough loss.

Its a disease called vitiligo that takes pigmentation out of your skin

I like your answer Lewis

Wanna, what does skin color have to do with hair or do you agree with the bald spot theory?

Hes bald their and it takes the color of his actual skin.Thats why it looks white

Many thanks to you guys, I like that you agree with me

Sorry to the thread

Shaq will be a great to help their original center get some rest. Cavailiers might take the whole thing this year.

NJ Nets can still play good ball. Just a slow start and it is too earlier to tell.

Nuggets were really good last season and from the loss they had they are now going all force. They will make it to the playoffs also.

Lakers are the champs, but if they are going to do good with Artest on their team. He is a great player, but I would have just left the team as it was without any changes. Ariza is coming back I heard so that is good.

Atlanta was good last year. They just lost against Miami, but with a good fight! With that loss they are now dedicated to working harder.

Portland is a surprise, but they have always been solid the first round of the season all the time. Let us see if they can finish it as strong as they start it.

The Phoenix Suns is what everyone should be looking at. They are now determined to take it all. The question will their team stay healthy that long.

Well now it's December 1st, and some interesting things have developed.

The Denver Nuggets lost 106-100 at the Pepsi Center to the 1-15 Minnesota Timberwolves.

Carmelo Anthony scored his first 50 point game against the Knicks.

Allen Iverson, former Sixer, then Nugget, then Piston, then Grizzly, is now rumored to maybe signing with Philly again.

New Jersey Nets are the biggest joke of the NBA at 0-17

In the East, Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, and Atlanta are holding strong with great winning records

In the West, we have 5 contenders, Lakers, Suns, Mavs, Nuggets, and Blazers who are all lighting it up.

The two biggest surpises are Portland and Atlanta, major improvement.

Lakers have the longest winning streak to date at 6. They may kick Phoenix off the top spot as they are only 1/2 game out of first.
