    The NBA season starts tonight

    The NBA season tip-off tonight at 7pm while Allen Iverson is expected to report to a Turkish team - isn’t he still one of the best players in the league? Regardless AI is still my favourite player. A sure Hall of Famer - He more than earned is respect. NBA fans want more AI! - Shame on the NBA.

    A lot of things have transpired over the summer and I'm some what excited about how the season will turn out. Its gonna be a “BIG SEASON”

    This season should be filled with lots of heat with Chris Bosh and Lebron James teaming up with Wade in Miami, three of the NBA's best players on one team. Lebron's "decision" ruin the heart of Cleveland. Its gonna be interested to see how the fans react when he return. Chris Bosh on the other hand is a different story. Bosh might be the only guy that doesn't get booed after leaving the Tdot. After seven seasons with the Raptors, Bosh only had two playoff appearances.

    The Celtics will fight for what they believe is rightfully theirs. They have also made some big moves this off season adding veteran Shaquile O’neal, Jermaine O’neal & Delonte West to their roster. This team will give the Heats the toughest fight in the east. Two teams with three big stars each, going up against each other. Rajon Rando will be the difference maker. The Celtics is also a deeper team and will create havoc for Chris Bosh with their big front court. I personally would love to see the Celtics win another ring.

    What’s going to happen in the west?

    The sun won't rise in Phoenix liked it once did with the departure of Amare Stoudemire, only Steve Nash still remain from the elite Suns team. I wonder how long will Nash stay in Phoenix. He deserve a ring and won't get it there – blame bad management over the last few years for making bad moves.

    The NBA champion Lakers got better with Matt Barnes - they want a 3-peat.

    My Raptors are predicted to finish last. I hope we can prove them wrong.

    KD is a beast - I wanna hear more "beat LA" chants this season.

    Who will win the Championship? - Most likely Lakers, Celtics or Heats, but is it really to early to predict?

    Chris Bosh, Kevin Garnet, Amare Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer - Will all of them make the east allstar?

    There will be a lot more Bosh & Amare matchups – which is the better player?

    Will Carmelo Anthony stay in Denver – he would be a good fit in New York under Mike D’Antoni’s system.

    Who will be the most improve player this season?

    Who will be MVP?

    Who will be 6-man?

    What about the Rookies? Who will be the Rookie of the year?
    Its gonna be Blake Griffin or John Wall

    My predictions for opening night are:

    MIA at BOS – Celtics
    PHX at POR – Blazers
    HOU at LAL - Lakers
