These and This

James Westfall here, wanting to take a little time to talk some basketball. NBA basketball that is.
Tonight we're gonna be seeing some really interesting games, especially concerning the Hollywood Video trades that took place out west. Jason Kidd will make his return debut with Dallas as the Mavs take on the number one team in the confernece, New Orleans. Kidd, along with the rest of the Mavericks and their faithful, are dreaming of seeing these, while New Orleans and their fans are hoping all of these powerhouse moves in the west won't start to feel like this.
Shaq will be making his long awaited debut with the Suns tonight against Kobe and the newly acquired Gasol of the Lakers. This will be a very interesting game of re-vamped teams, as both are thought to be the next behemouths of the confrence. The Suns are hoping a Shaq-filled future will be full of these, while Shaq is hoping his Pheonix-filled future is full of this.
At any rate, the latest trades have ended the stigma of the No Balls Association, and hopefully will pump more excitement into the NBA. Taking these trades into account, and then throwing in how well Lebron is playing, and the resurgent dominance of the Celtics in the east, and you can't help but feel giddy. As fans, I know we can all hope for more nights like these, as opposed to the more recent years of the NBA, bringing several nights of this, this, and this, which almost always inevitably lead to thinking about these and this.
Welcome back, NBA. Dr. Kenneth Noisewater and I, and NBA fans all over the world have missed you!
