Toss away your ketchup stained baseball jerseys sports fans because the NBA is rolling in like a housemaid with brand new sheets. Basketball season kicks off tonight and we’re pumped. Why? Because this is our only chance to fantasize about our favorite team possibly having a chance at, well, something positive. Only during the beginning of the season can we disregard reality and muse upon championship parades and trophies. Like when we arrive at a bar, see an assortment of beautiful women and recite, “Oh, this is going to be a good night.” Only the night progresses and the only promising conversation we have is from a drunk ass that offers to buy us a beer while pissing next to us in the restroom. Basically, we’re going to cherish every ounce of hope we can. So who’s dishin’ no-look passes and dunkin’ tonight?
Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors:
- Both teams made it to the playoffs last season, but don’t be fooled. Golden State will be without Stephen Jackson or Jason Richardson tonight so they’ll suck; at least for today. Prediction: Utah by eight and we’ll be drunk by halftime. 10:30pm EST
Houston Rockets at Los Angeles Lakers:
- Holy crap. Kobe Bryant is still in purple and gold. And he’s playing tonight. He’s probably going to pretend the ball is Jerry Buss’ head and he’ll dunk on Yao Ming (Houston center) all night; Derek Fisher will probably get a standing ovation; and Kurt Rambis (Lakers assistant coach) will be so pissed that Andrew Bynum sucks balls that he’ll grab a jersey, throw some hideous goggles on, and toss layups from halfcourt. Prediction: Kobe doesn’t last a month in Los Angeles. Oh wait, Lakers win by one off a layup that bounces off of Tracy McGrady’s head and into the basket. 10:30pm EST on TNT
Portland Trailblazers at San Antonio Spurs:
- San Antonio brought back their entire championship team from last year. They will be starting everyone. They will receive their championship rings before the game. Portland, beware. Prediction: San Antonio [slaughters, destroys, obliterates] beats Portland by, um, a lot. 7:30pm EST on TNT

The Clippers are finally poised for L.A. supremacy this season. That’s like getting an imitation car Voltron when you asked for the real five-lion deal. Oh, that Laker ownership just needs an overhaul.

Finally, someone else remembers the shitty car Voltron!
I had both. Needless to say, car-tron spent most of his days as pieces for cat-tron to destroy.
