The 2010-2011 NBA season kicked off tonight with a marquee game between the Heat and their Big Three, and the Celtics and their Big and Old Four (or so). I wasn't able to watch, so no impressions of the SuperHeat, but the Heat lost which makes me happy. I'm a quasi-Celtics fan, and I hate the Heat.
I hate the Heat these days because of the off-season shenanigans that had LeBron and Chris Bosh signing there. I don't begrudge LeBron his choice to play with his buddies, wouldn't any of us? Problem is that he had that stupid ESPN show and said it was about the best chance to win. Previously I'd respected LeBron as an intelligent manager of his fame and image, and there he made a much maligned misstep. It bothered me mostly because his best chance to win would have absolutely been to join the Bulls along with Chris Bosh, and so he shouldn't have said it was about best chance to win. Or something. Plus he smashed my SuperBulls dreams.
He's got a new Nike ad, called "Rise," out obviously talking around the momentous offseason. It's well made and displays LeBron's charismatic talents. Even makes me question my own very likely misdirected and new-found dislike of LeBron. But I'm not ready to swallow this one yet.
Anyway, Bulls start tomorrow. Excited about watching this team even if Boozer isn't playing until after Thanksgiving.
