30 Teams / 30 Hours: LeBron James
You know, one can never have too many NBA season previews. (That’s a lie.) Which is why we present a new series to add to the list: The Basketball Jones’ 30 Teams in 30 Hours NBA Season Preview. Yup. It is what it is.
5:00p / Cleveland Cavaliers: LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. Boobie. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James …

Comments (2)30 Teams / 30 Hours: More Than GODE’s Sidekick
You know, one can never have too many NBA season previews. (That’s a lie.) Which is why we present a new series to add to the list: The Basketball Jones’ 30 Teams in 30 Hours NBA Season Preview. Yup. It is what it is.
4:00p / Portland Trail Blazers: One good thing - if there truly are any - that can come out of Greg Oden going down, is the fact Brandon Roy will have much of the spotlight this season in Oregon. It’s time to appreciate this guy’s game. I watched him only a hand full of times through his injury riddled campaign, but each time I was left thinking, man, he can do so much. His craftiness reminds me a bit of Pippen, the way he quickly squirms in to gaps in the lane. Nothing crazy athletic about him, just a knack for quickly dissecting what’s in his view. He wasn’t talked about enough last season in my opinion, even though he captured the ROY. This year will be different.

Comments (2)30 Teams / 30 Hours: Ball Players From The Clippers
You know, one can never have too many NBA season previews. (That’s a lie.) Which is why we present a new series to add to the list: The Basketball Jones’ 30 Teams in 30 Hours NBA Season Preview. Yup. It is what it is.
3:00p / Los Angeles Clippers: I expect nothing less than 40 minutes, 28 points and 5 turnovers a game from Corey Maggette this season. Unleash the beast, Dun! Does Quinton Ross have a nickname yet? He needs one. If Sam Cassell gets teased for looking like “Gollum,” then I think it’s only fair that we start calling Brevin Knight, “Doby.” Shoals and I once thought about creating an X/Y graph to visually represent an NBA players’ “God-given talent” (X) to “hard work and dedication” (Y) ratio. Tim Thomas ruined that dream. Is Aaron Williams a “Jason Kidd?”

Comments (2)30 Teams / 30 Hours: Eazy-Yi
You know, one can never have too many NBA season previews. (That’s a lie.) Which is why we present a new series to add to the list: The Basketball Jones’ 30 Teams in 30 Hours NBA Season Preview. Yup. It is what it is.
2:00p / Milwaukee Bucks: I hope Yi Jianlian never speaks a word of English to the media. He’ll be way cooler that way. He can wear sunglasses and a long jacket; he’ll be so dark and mysterious. Everyone will want to know what E is thinking so they’ll go through an interpreter. E will answer, the media and fans will think “Boring. That’s all we were waiting for?” Then E will smile slyly, letting everyone know he’s holding back - consequently, the legend of Eazy-Yi will flourish.

12:00p / Boston Celtics: Screw it. Enough analysis of the analyses of The Big Three. What ever happened to sticking up for the little guy? Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins and Tony Allen are on this team and are going to have an impact on the outcomes. Some keys to success - Rondo: don’t turn it over, don’t shoot. Perkins: don’t turn it over, refrain from shooting if you can’t touch the rim. Allen: don’t turn it over, don’t shoot, only dunk during game play. Be safe, look both ways before crossing the lane and good luck!

10:00a / Memphis Grizzlies: Was watching a little of the NBA TV a couple months ago, and Dr. J’s Sixers were playing in a hardcourt classic. There’s always that banger type that stands out from that era, and the white fellow playing along side Irving was Marc Iavaroni, new Head Coach of the Grizzlies. I love when role players become head coaches. In terms of knowledge, they know it takes talent, intangibles and lots of dirty work to win. Coaching under Mike D’Antoni probably helps a bit too. This stockpile of talent in Memphis will start to show through a fast paced / quick ball movement system. Kyle Lowry, Rudy Gay, Hakim Warrick, the list goes on and on. As I mentioned once or a hundred times, THIS TEAM’S GONNA BE FUN!

5:00a / New York Knicks: Everyone associated with this franchise is entranced by the spell of Isiah Thomas. He has the hallowed walls of Madison Square Garden haunted. Players who have never tasted the playoffs (Eddy Curry), are muttering nonsensical things like: “It’s different this year, we’re a winning team”. The NY media is under the impression Curry + Zach Randolph = Goodness. Last I heard, even Anucha Browne Sanders wanted her job back. Anyone can be sucked in; the problem is so big, it’s feeding on itself. Halitosis is what they’re calling this ailment, I believe.

3:00a / Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant, everyday in Lakers practice: “Well, ya know something Mean Kupchak… I train, I say my prayers, I eat my vitamins, brother! And this *points to his hand* this is where the power lies, brother! God created the Heavens, he created the Earth! He created Kobe! And then, and only then, he created a basketball, brother! So listen, duuuuude! If it wasn’t for Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson would still be selling meat from a truck in Montana. So what’cha gonna do, brother? What’cha gonna do? What’cha gonna do when the K-O-B-E runs wild on you?” (Answer: trade him.)

2:00a / Orlando Magic: You know how there’s always a team or two you wanna see kick ass just because? Well, this is one for me. Let me tell you why tis so. First, I don’t want to look like a moron for hyping them to the max, but also, I like to think I have some basketball sense every once in a while. When I watched this dysfunctional squad last season, it seemed so apparent that with a player on the wing who possessed both an outside and mid-range game, this team would function oh so nicely. Rashard Lewis is more than capable of being that guy. Throw in an improved beast in Dwight Howard, the winning strut of Jameer Nelson and the craftiness of Stan Van Gundy, and you’ve got a division winner.
