The New Dynasty

The future of the NBA shifted in just seconds when Lebron James told the world he was going to join the Miami Heat next year. The 2nd greatest assembled “Big 3" All-Star cast the league as ever seen is now upon us! (The best trio would be Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor in the 1968-69 season). Wade and Bosh would have been a strong duo, but add on the 2 time MVP player named Lebron James and that brings the team to a whole new level.

As amazing as those 3 players are, I just don’t see them winning a championship. When Boston created their version of “The Big Three” they also had a rising PG named Ranjo Rando. Oh yeah did I mention? They also had something called a bench! Who else does Miami currently have? Only Mario Chalmers and Michael Beasley… The Heat are only going to have about $16million left for 11 spots on the roster. That’s not much wiggle room for a supporting cast. But hey, if all else goes wrong, maybe Lebron, Wade, and Bosh can win the championship all by themselves.

You know what really pisses me off? Now when I play NBA 2K11 online, everyone is going to want to pick Miami. Lame >_>

All I can say now is GO KOBE! Crush them next year.

Raptors Progress

1) A 5 game winning streak
2) 4 games over 500
3) Victories over the Lakers, Magic, and Mavericks last month
Yes ladies and gentlemen I'm talking about the Toronto Raptors.

So before the season began I wrote a blog about where the Raptors would be this season and I just wanted to see where the progress is.
Raptors will finish either 5th or 6th: Currently 5th
Bosh will have a career year: Averaging 24 ppg and 11 rpg, yes definitely a career year
Raptors will be 10 games over 500: I still think its possible, difficult, but possible
High hopes for DeRosan: Hes getting better as the season moves along and helps bring the much needed energy during the beginning of the game. Also, I can't wait to see him in the 'dunk in' even if I think that idea is retarded.
Turkoglu will be a great addition for the Raptors: Okay, maybe he hasn't lived up to his expectations and I have to say, I've been hating a bit on Turk, but he will be key during the playoffs. He needs to prove to me he can play like he did last year before I call him Mr. 4th quarter.
The Raptors' schedule seems much easier than the beginning of the season and I hope we capitalize on the up coming games. Lets not forget the return of Reggie Evans after the all-star game will strengthen the team's defence.
