2007-2008 NBA Season

^ the main worry was that he would break down--he is small and fragile--and would not be able to finish the contract.
You have to admit, Cuban made a huge huge mistake in letting Nash go.

Absolutely.  Even if he's useless at the end of the contract, he would still have trade value as an expiring contract.

[Bill 213]

I can't believe Isiah Thomas just said he wasn't expecting to do anything for the trade deadline approaching.  What a piece of shit.  The guy has basically run this team into the ground and morale in the Knicks camp is non-existant.  It's time to ditch Marbury and work towards building a winning team.  If Isiah survives this year with either one of his jobs, the Knicks deserve to rot at the bottom.

They lost by 40.... 

Awesome game between the Suns/Lakers!  Did you see the size of the bump on Raja Bell's head?

[CheapJon]

Big Ben to the Cavs.. awesome

The strong get stronger...

I really am a fan of what the GM's are doing this season....instead of wasting time with talented line-ups that will never win a championship these gm's are actually taking RISKS!! I love it....

^Mavs lose again in a close one, first to Spurs a couple of nights ago, now to the Lakers today in OT. They mortgaged their future to win this year, but it is not looking good. They just don't have that killer instinct to finish games.

No my friend, they don't have the right coach to take them deep into the playoffs.

^You very well could be right. I am beginning to have my doubts.

For sure dude.  They lost to the Heat.  I couldn't believe they isolated Wade.

And last years collapse against the Warriors.  I think AJ wasted the Mavs best years.

[greekmule]

Avery is just a very bad coach. i am so fucking annoyed at him right now.

how can you leave the best pg of the last 10 years out of the game during the last 35 secs of a game? 

however the mavs didnt lose the finals because of him, they lost them because of the refs and their overprotective attitude towards DWade

i still hope this team can get it together and win it all the way this year

wow! what a game that was tonight. MVP BABY

shaq's such a fucking class act

I read gilbert arenas blog yesterday where he mentioned that everyone that ever played with shaq said that he's the nicest guy ever and best and all that, and gilbert thought it sucked that no one said that about him

You just never know. It?s just a wonder. You hear stories like, ?Jordan was a bad, bad teammate? and I?m like, ?Well, you just had a bad experience with him maybe.?

Then you?ll hear stories about Shaq and every player he plays with is like, ?This is the greatest player in the world!?

I?m like, damn, I want to be the greatest player in the world. Come on over here and play with me and you can say I?m the greatest too.

The NBA Stinker of the year tonight:

Knicks vs Heat.

God....we could use that game to torture terrorists, and those suspected of being terrorists.  To hell with waterboarding!

That would have been a great game....in 1997. 

The Lakers are in the top seed again, and Bynum is getting ready to come back.

Life is good.

Does anybody believe in the Celtics yet?  All I've heard all season is how the West is best and the Pistons are the top team in the East.  Even though the C's are 5 games ahead of the Pistons and have pretty much rolled most of the Western conference.  Now they've beaten the Spurs and Rockets (snapping the streak) in back to back nights without Ray Allen.  Anyone ready to admit that they're a pretty good team?

TOO funny.

I was just coming to post the SAME thing.

Go Celts.

And what the rest of the league should be worried about is this:

If the Celts have home court through the WHOLE playoffs...EC and Finals....it is going to be a VERY bad thing for the rest of the league.  Their home record is second only to Utah's in the league.  I'm telling you, if the Celts have the leprechauns on their side for the playoffs, they are going to be TOUGH to beat for the title.

Another thing to consider.  I was watching ESPN First Take this morning.  By the way they STILL think the Pistons are better.  Anyhow, they brought up the fact of how difficult it is gonna be to come out of the West.  And with that being said, whoever does survive to face the C's/Pistons could be spent by then.

And both the C's and the Pistons should, ultimately, have an easier "ride" to the finals.  The Eastern Conference Championship might be tough, but I don't think anyone forsees the Celts having an issue with, say, ATLANTA in the first round.

I think those who insist Detroit is better than the C's are just haters.  C's have won the season series, have the better record both IN the eastern conference, and against western conference teams.  I'm not sure, when you look at their body of work, how you can conclude Detroit is better.  They're younger...more durable maybe, but not better. Not this year.
