For those fans whose patience level is too low for baseball, they wait 6 months six months until basketball season returned. Well NBA fans, last night your wish came true. To kick off the season, TNT had a doubleheader with games starting off with the Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics and then the LA Lakers vs. Houston Rockets. Let's start with Miami.
Ok so I'm sick and tired of hearing about the Miami Triple Threat, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh, just as much as you are and last night we all expected them to come out of the gate and dominate. That didn't happen. The veteran Boston team were all over Miami's defense and exposed their "just met two months ago so this a new team" weaknesses. Boston would go on to win the game 88-80. This was the catalyst for much hate as people across all social networks expressed their hatred for Miami and suddenly became clairvoyants to which they predicted that the Heat will go 0-82 this season. I think I was more upset with the opinions of these folks rather than the game but remember readers, ignorant comments are what give us a starting point to debate issues so in essence we need them to make the world go round. I wish the Heat much luck throughout the season and hope they find the chemistry their fans and basketball are looking for.
Now on to LA. We all remember how the Lakers won the NBA Championship this past summer and last night was their ring ceremony. A lot of hugs, cheers, and tears Kobe Bryant and his team celebrated. Then, it was off to playing basketball. This match against the Rockets had a playoff essence to it. The score was always close and the atmosphere screamed...CHAMPIONSHIP! Maybe that was because of the ring ceremony hours before...could have been but the game was enjoyable to watch. The Lakers won 112-110....pretty close huh? Congratulations to the Lakers on their new pieces of jewelry.
With games like these two, it pretty much seems that the NBA season is starting off on an exciting foot. Can't wait to continue to see what else the league has to offer.
