The basketball season started Tuesday night and all basketball fans shouted for joy. This year was a little easier having the Olympic team and all but there is nothing like NBA play and the opening of the season. The two games that drew the most attention were the Celtics playing the Cavaliers and The Lakers playing Portland.

After taking the title last year, the Celtics received their rings and even presented a “flying” man to dunk in a basket for some fun. This was Boston’s seventeenth championship title and evenm brought a tar to Paul Pierce’s eye. Then the game began and all the way to the end it was a fight with the Celtics pulling out the win by 15.   The season had started.

As for the Lakers, they won too but they dominated the game throughout and with their bench players being the envy of most starting teams, the Lakers should dominate throughout the season. This was also apparent in their win against the Clippers last night with the score of 117-79.

Now that the season has opened and the seriousness of the ganes has begin we will be back more often wiht some updates of games around the league. Let us know who your favorite team is and we llok forward to NBA 2009.
