Well, it's just about time for another NBA Season to tip off.There are alot of new faces on new teams.Steve Nash is now with the Suns.Some of the teams that will be fun to watch are the Sonics,Kings,Mavericks,Warriors,Hawks,
Grizzlies,Suns,and the Jazz.All of these teams have quite a few good caste players.I think that the Kings might finally get out of the west this year with Peja
leading the way.I am interested to see how the 18 year
old kid from the Sonics/Robert Swift comes along in the
next couple of years.

I know it's pre-season but Kirk Hinrich had 32 points for the Bulls tonight.This kid is a great point guard and
reminds me alot of Steve Nash.We need to see alot more
like him.

I really like Hinrich. He was one of the top rookies
last year. He can shoot, pass and defend. What
more could one want from a point guard? He's the
kind of guy the US Team needed in the Olympics.

I'm dissapointed in the Dallas Mavericks.They had one of
the funnest teams to watch in the NBA just 2 years ago.
So what did they do,trade or let alot of the good players
leave.First LaFrentz went to Boston, they let go of
the kid from the UKR,Laettner is gone although he is
overrated,and now Nash is gone.Dirk Nowitzki is the closest thing to Larry Bird that I have ever seen and
he is on a island by himself now.He is surrounded by a
bunch of ball hogs with egos the size of the lone star
state!I feel bad for Dirk.What was Mark Cuban thinking?

He's probably just looking for individual talent
regardless of team chemistry.

I saw the Sonics last night and they remind me of
that Dallas team. They have a bunch of athletic
shooters, including Ridnour, Radmanovic and "Ibo",
and should be fun to watch. Their defense probably
won't be that good, and they might get the "soft" label
because of that and their large number of white
players. A black player, Reggie Evans, will probably
be their primary inside player, so that might soften
the blow a little bit (whereas Dallas's inside players
were Dirk, Lafrentz, and Bradley, so it was "easy
pickins" for the media). And everybody in the media
loves "Ray Ray" so that could help, too.

There is now a Caste Football breakdown of every NBA team on the homepage, right below the latest outstanding offering from J. B. Cash. Check it out!

Dirk Nowitzki started the season off with a bang.He had
33 points and 10 rebounds in the Mavericks victory over
the Kings.It's such a shame how the Mavs disbanded their
team.Dirk is the only white guy outside of S.Bradley who
will be on the team and Bradley is a bench warmer.It will
be like the old tv show,"The White Shadow". It sucks for
Dirk but he will be the star without a doubt.It will be
hard to watch the Mavs but I do love Dirk as a player!I
hope he leaves the team in a couple of years and goes
to Utah,Sacramento,Seattle,Memphis,Golden State,or Phoenix.I just hope that they pass Dirk the ball because
we all know about the jealousy in the league.

I'm sitting here watching the Jazz/Lakers Game on TNT.
In the first 2 minutes of the game,Kirelenko has had
3 blocks and a monster alley-oop dunk for a score.
This kid from Russia has really long arms and can jump
with anyone in the NBA.He has springs for legs.Last
season he was the only player in the top 15 in 5 different categories.I think he finished 2nd in shot
blocking.Go Jazz!I hope you guys are watching the game.

Thanks for the basketball breakdown by each team. Good job. It's amazing how different the Western Conference is from the Eastern Conference. Even more pronounced than the racial divide in baseball between the AL and NL.

the NBA has wised up to the fact that most of the fans are white, even if they are "wiggers" and that the ratings will only drop further unless whites are given their fair chance at playing. the game has suffered tremendously at the expense of hyping up ghetto life and culture. so whites serve two purposes:

1.) bring more fans back to the game.

2.) bring disciplined basketball back, the way it was meant to be played. i.e; passing, defense, hustle, listen to your coach.
