I remember growing up a niner fan and the "NFC west" at the time (late 80s?) was San Fran, New Orleans, st Louis, and atlanta...always thought that was weird
For me: 1. LAL 1a. MIA 2. Al Quaeda 3. NYK 3a. NJN (I don't fucking care that they moved to Brooklyn, they're the New Fucking Jersey Fucking Nets) 4. BOS (they may drop a spot or two now that KG and Pierce are gone) 5. DET (1990, dammit) 6. UTA (Give the name back to New Orleans, for cry sakes!)
Weird not a lot of Dallas on here, can't stand them Lakers Okc Miami Minny Dallas Jazz Clippers Knicks Boston
Kinda funny that Rocket fans want LMA for Asik and junk. I know their GM tried this summer but Neil didn't budge.
D'oh - I totally forgot about the Thunder. I really hate them too. I suppose this is a case where my hatred for another team does ebb and flow based on their relevance. Because they are relevant and the Lakers aren't, I hate OKC more right now. My hate for them is mostly because of how they ended up in OKC, but also because I hate their hype, their name, their logo/jersey/colors.
Yeah, the Thunder have kind of supplanted Portland in the "Oh What Could Have Been" conversation nationally. But man, what could have been.
Noticed this in the report on Howard in my fantasy league. Yikes - Howard at PF! Asik at C. That's gonna be a tough defense to play against. And what PF is going to be able to defend Howard? Surround Howard/Asik with shooters and that could be deadly.
