As a Celtics fan I have to say:

Our season series with LA. I want for people to see that Bynum being injured wasn't the reason they lost. The Lakers playing like girls, especially at the end of contested games was the reason the lost.

Garnett's return to the target center, he didn't play this year when we went to Minny. It'll be interesting to see how the fans greet him especially since he finally accomplished his career goal of winning the chip.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

You people are so boring.

Most intriguing game is Raptors vs Pacers. Not only Jermaine and Ford against their former teams, but Ford vs Calderon! But of course, if you're not a Raptors fan, you probably wouldn't know the intrigue..........

Just to back up what I said.

Wade vs Lebron has been played out.
Rose and Beasley don't even play the same position. Not even close!
The Lopez brothers are scrubs.
Shaq is insignificant and old. His return from Phoenix to Miami is not the same as from Miami to L.A. His legacy is with L.A, not Miami.
Oakland and Los Angeles............whatever! It's still California. Not much of a difference.
The Clippers never accomplished anything with Brand.

The end.

7. Blazers vs Lakers ( season series )



Probably the Christmas day game of the Celtics and Lakers.
:D

Well that is what I think will be the key game.

Rockets vs Lakers would be good as would the Blazers and Lakers.

In the east the Bulls vs Miami should be a dandy.

Philly vs Detroit, Detroit vs Orlando, Boston vs Atlanta

Took one and a half threads for someone to post that matchup? Where are the Raptor fans?

Also, GuyverX, did Baron actually say that? From your sig I'm talking about.

And, I agree with ace, I don't think there are any other centers that are better then Andrew Bynum. Even if you consider Pau a center, I wouldn't say he's better. And Al Jeff isn't a center. And Kaman, well, I guess he can explode next year with Brand leaving so we'll just have to wait that out.

Mavs @ Nets definitely at the top of the list for me. I will be really mad if I don't get to go to that game.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

The four meetings of Kings/Lakers. Each of these games are intense and has playoff atmosphere. (Well, at least at Arco).

I can't wait to see Shaq's return to Miami. This time...there won't be cheers like in Los Angeles. He took much less time to diss the city he was traded from...therefore, prepare to get booed like the Knicks.

Shaq, Duncan, Kg, vs. Oden, Howard, Bynum, Yao.

The Old legends vs. the possible future legends.

I'm not saying that because I wanna argue that Bynum and Oden are sure bets or that bynum is a top 3 center or whatever. But those guys' potentials have yet to be reached (Yes, I think Yao can geta lil better, or at least healthy again). It would be coool if they all become legends and we could all say to people in the future that we got to see old shaq vs. young oden. lol

Also, those old legends against each other is still great. As is the new guys against each other.

And remember, when these guys face shaq, amare is there, too. So that makes it even more exciting.

Also Cavs vs. Lakers. For the Fisher vs. West matchup of course.
