ako earl "the goat" manigault pa din

M54: I won't count LBJ as surprise, expected na sya actually to shine... I'd agree with the Sonics though... Suns, personally I'd expect them to boom soon, just a bit surprised with how MUCH they've boomed with Nash. It's not like Nash is doing something special anyway, he's doing what he's been doing for ages... Right fit talaga.

Surprise ko din si Iverson... Ditto with Chicago, Grant Hill

Disappointments: Di ko sasali si Webber, he's always a disappointment if you judge him by the season.

Definitely Yao, Randolph, whole Twolves, Denver (esp Melo and KMart), Utah (esp Boozer).

I'm not disappointed with Lamar Odom... he's numbers are slightly down but its because Kobe has the ball almost all the time. In Miami, he was the facilitator of the offense, In LA... well he just watches Kobe go 1 on 4 and hopes that kobe kicks it out to him - he's basically a jump shooter.

More surprises:
Orlando (Grant Hill's comeback, Dwight Howard's consistent play)
Washington (The cohesion the Hughs, Arenas and Jamison... THey were teammates at GS and you know what happened there)

sayang si webber, heard he was already getting booed(?)

imo, di talaga babagay si iverson with any superstar... I remember when Philly had Hughes, Joe Smith, D Coleman, Stackhouse, Tim Thomas with Iverson in 1 season. Then he paired with Van Horn, Kukoc, G-Rob, Coleman again, and now Webbie. I think he needs more role players rather than supah stars. Hirap pa nyan, he's the point hehehe

[kimpOy]

disappointed at

Baron Davis, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady
Dodging via Injuries and not playing well, tapos after being traded bigla na lang nawala ang injuries at bigla na lang naging 30 pts a night.

TimberWolves/Sixers/Rockets dapat upside ang mga teams na ito.

surprises:
Baby Bulls
Celtics, tignan mo nga naman pwede pala ng maglaro si peirce at si davis isama mo pa sio payton at si walker

Suns...Nash and Amare and Marion
Sonics, nba expert analyse from cnnsi.com and espn.com predicted doom at the start of the season for this team he..he

doesn't it annoy yao ming that everyone in america calls him by his last name?

[ILuvDetailing]

IMO being called Yao Ming is better than being called Ming Yao.

Lakers beat the Mavs, moves within half a game for the 8th seed! Yehey!!!!
