*I just received my SI magazine in the mail yesterday. Yao Ming is on the cover. I have no link to this article. I typed this as it reads in the NBA Preview 2002-03 for those who don't have it.

Looks the same as last year. Lakers will prevail again this year. They are even more fired up this year, and as soon as Shaq gets back, they are going to lay the hurt on the league again. Nobody can defend the big guy and until they do, the Lakers will keep winning rings.

[James_F]

Absolutely, all the Kings know how to do is talk, not win.

[Hope_Dish_Gets_YES]

I really Hope the Nets can Win it all this year.
I think they can beat the Kings.... IF they both play in the Finals.


Lets Go Nets!

[Mike]

Nice to agree with James again on something. :D
Tim - I couldn't of said it any better myself. Nice avatar too. I'll have to figure out how to do that with my teams showing the World champs of the Lakers and Angels. :)
Thanks, John!

[Unthinkable]

I think the Celtics will be better then 7th.
