Yes! The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived, as the 2007-08 NBA season tipped off last night with three games on schedule. Let's get to them:
Rockets 95, Lakers 93
All the trade rumors swirling around Kobe didn't affect his game. With the Iverson-like sleeve on his arm last night, he dropped 45 points on the Rockets (Word to Shane Battier), including 18 in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers lost. After the game, Bryant told the Associated Press that his possibility of being traded won't affect the outcome of the Lakers' games.
"When we're playing in a game, we just focus on one another and the bonds that we have," Bryant told the AP. "It has nothing to do with (trade) speculation or business or anything like that. Business a lot of times can cloud the game and take the fun out of the game if you allow it to. And that's something that I won't allow to happen."
Nevertheless, Coach Rick Adelman escaped L.A. with his first Rockets' win. Expect a lot more of them 'W's too. Adelman, who if you remember coached those high-scoring Sacramento Kings teams that almost knocked off the Lakers, knows how to install a high-powered offense. Watch Houston score more points this season.
Spurs 106, Blazers 97
The boring-ass, but effective Spurs copped their rings before the game and then proceeded to quietly spank the Blazers. I mean quietly going about their business is what the Spurs do. We all know that. Soo quiet that did you know Tim Duncan signed a 2-year, $40 million extension yesterday? See I told you, they were quiet and they looked great last night in the first of TNT's double header. Duncan had 24 points, 13 boards and Tony Parker finished with 19 points after kissing now Eva Longoria Parker for good luck. Oooh Wee! Despite the loss, you gotta like Portland's youth movement. LaMarcus Aldridge, Martell Webster, last year's ROY Brandon Roy with Greg Oden (Dude may be older than KRS - I'm sorry)....Whaat!? This team is going to be a huge problem very, very soon.
Jazz 117, Warriors 96
B Diddy's 25 points and 10 assists went to waste, as the Jazz smacked the Warriors on their home court. Just too much inside-outside for the Warriors to handle, but they'll be aight. Carlos Boozer aka THE BEAST had 32 points, 15 rebounds and Deron Williams added 24 points and that was pretty much all she wrote for the Warriors. Utah is one of the most formidable teams in the L. Believe That!
Until Tomorrow...

Look like there is nothing wrong with Kobe's wrist.
45 points on 32 shots. Dude that's terrible. The refs helped him by sending him to the freethrow 27 times.
Kobe garbage

Victory obviously didnt watch the game because Kobe missed 9 free throws and shot under 50%. Which doesn't happen very often.
ATL like most fans you don't understand the game. Kobe shot 40% on the night...the team 42% not too far off. O lets not forget the 8 boards, 4 assist and 4 steals. But he's garbage right?.
Yes the spurs are boring unless you understand the game. If you do then you know the Spurs don't win by accident. Sibstance over style any day of the week.
I just do not understand why people hate Kobe so much? I mean yeah he aint "hood" enough so the fuck what that shit dont pay unless you are a rapper. Bitch Kupcheck is the one fuckin the Lakers over. D.Fish made his shots. I mean if Kobe passes and they miss, Kobe takes it into his own hands and it is a problem. The bottomline is they could pay me a million dollars to miss. But no matter where Kobe goes he is going to be in the same predicament. I am from L.A. I bleed purple and gold so I dont understand why people was booin my nigg, and then the minute hw makes a shot people clappin. Well that is my home for you.
LOL @ THE LAKERS
THIS IS WHY THE WESTCOAST STAY LOSING. FIRST THE RAP GAME NOW SPORTS.
LAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ya'll betta get used to them Spurs...if you ain't already realized, they on top for a reason. It's called Teamwork (cough cough Kobe cough cough).
The best thing the Lakers could do is to trade Kobe. I believe they are positioning the team right by bringing back Fisher. They need leader, not a superstar.

Either way, I'll be at that Spurs vs Lakers game on 13 November watching San Antonio deliver the brat his punishment.

T-Mac that nigga....ROCKETS, baby! But for real, Kobe need to jump ship. He gon end up like Ivie, wastin his best years on a sorry ass team, and on sorry ass Jerry Buss...
Man, I know Kobe is unhappy but I would hate it if he was traded from the team that already gave up Shaq! I'm from LA too and if Kobe's gone, who else can we expect to step up, Lamar Odom? Please Kobe just forget about the trade talk til next year; I know the org. will make some better business moves before next season!!
Get used to Kobe scoring a shit load of points and the team losing..
Can't wait for other teams to play, these is going to be a great season of basketball. I haven't felt this way about the NBA since like 92', NBA action is Fantastic!!! lol!
yo get kobe on the BULLS ASAP HOLLA
@Eardrumz
LA needs to start gettin they money worth out of Kwame Brown. That man needs a leader to lead him and continue working him to reach his potential. Can't do that with Kobe on the team.
@ JJ
You stupid. Kobe took more shots than the Lakers entire starting lineup.
Lakers won't get higher than a 7th seed with Kobe in the lineup. As soon as they trade him for some quality young players they'll be leaps and bounds better.
