Lakers gonna win it all in the end :) I would love to see a lakers/celtics rematch but Lebron vs kobe would be better. Boston vs Cleveland in the semi finals will be monster

fuhkyu 02-23-2009 08:58 PM

The C's still going strong without KG.. and how about Devin Harris' halfcourt game winner?

tough 02-23-2009 09:08 PM

rondo is sick thats why there ripping it

hotjoint 02-24-2009 06:17 AM

that was a crazy shot by harris

rickross888 02-24-2009 07:49 AM

yea harris' shot was nice. one of the few close games of the night, a lot of blowouts.

suns are playing the bobcats...chance for another 140pt game?
det vs mia, por vs hou and dal vs sas should be some good games. lakers and cavs should grab W's and stay atop their conference

411ken 02-24-2009 11:05 AM

I wish the suns kept bell/diaw instead of getting richardson. That guy is such a hog that it ruins it...i mean if they just wanted to go back to the run and gun style then keeping bell would have been nice as he can play D rather than just having richardson whom cannot play Defense at all.

hotjoint 02-24-2009 11:07 AM

haha yeah its a known fact that richardson can't play D

Totally agree, the only thing was Diaw wasn't performing as well as he had been in the past few seasons. Bell has never really been an offensive threat but he's one of the better one on one defenders in the league imo.

Richardson hasn't even been putting up impressive offensive numbers, Barbosa has been lighting it up recently though. Possible 6th man of the year award again?

411ken 02-24-2009 02:50 PM

I think Bell and Diaw's game got hurt because of their half court game unlike before where everyone runs and they can get open right away. Bell is pretty darn good with the 3 and plays solid D. I mean, they were doing pretty good before but just needed a center. What I would have personally done is kept the core (Nash,Bell,Amare,Marion,Barbosa,Diaw) and gotten a center that can rebound. They didn't need a scoring center then cuz they can score 100+ each game...They could have traded for Varejao or something.

Anyways, i'm still lakers but I do want to see Nash go deep in the playoffs.

Marbury Waived!! Looks to sign with Boston Celtics.

OTOH, if Shaq and Amare are the lineup, where would Diaw fit?

He basically came off when either shaq or amare came off, he was basically a role player after shaq was part of the suns. Diaw is a versatile player though, he can play inside and outside so realistically he could play the 3

sweet, starbury finally done with the knicks, must have been nice sitting there collecting his 21 mil for the time being

411ken 02-25-2009 07:04 AM

I had a feeling Marbury will go to the Celts as they traded Cassell away at the deadline. I think he will actually try hard as KG is on the team..

As for Diaw..the guy said it all..he would pretty much be the 6th man/7th man. After they traded they for Jrich, i knew their D will suffer.. I mean, Nash/Barbosa/Bell/Hill/Diaw/Amare/Shaq/Barnes IS as pretty good team on paper. I think them doing the halfcourt offense for the sake of shaq hurt them. but now they are running, I wonder if Kerr wishes he should've kept them.

HonestTea 02-25-2009 11:59 PM

Technically the Suns would've had 2 championships by now..just extreme bad luck and gay shit happened...

Nash-Gash by Cheap Shop Bob

and

Amare/Diaw stepping inside the court that got them suspended for a game

arghh Steve Nash's window of opportunity is closing FAST..

hotjoint 02-26-2009 06:14 AM

Wow tony parker is ripping it up without ginobli and duncan. Must be that good eva loving he gets every night :)

I think that happened in the same year.. but I agree, that they would have two championships if the owner didn't fucked up the team. Not signing Joe Johnson, trading away picks for money. That's gay ass shit. They could have had Rondo with one of their picks, instead they have Nash running the team for 35+ mins a season and tiring out at the playoffs.

411ken 02-26-2009 01:35 PM

^lol. I was thinking the same thing when I read it..as I've mentioned all they needed was a centre when they had everyone playing..now they are f'd and will not go far imo even tho i want them to cuz for the sake of nash. they used to share the ball well but now they are full of ballhogs..

as for Rondo, who knew he would be playing well.. but i guess playing with the celts helped him develop faster.

On a side note, to this day, i'm still hoping we'd get another shot at an NBA team but it doesn't look like it will happen at all =(.

HonestTea 02-26-2009 06:54 PM

give me a break guys, it was 3am when I was typing that lol

I can't really remember what incident, probably the year Amare got injured, the suns were going to win that year as well..

rickross888 02-26-2009 09:48 PM

Lakers are just rolling right now. if only they'd go undefeated the rest of the way and tie MJ's bulls with the best record in NBA history.

can't wait to see LBJ and the Cavs bounce back from their loss tonight to play the Spurs tomorrow night!

Haha fine... but it was still funny lol.

I watched the Lakers/Phoenix game and mannnn did this game show how weak the bench is for the Suns..Someone should teach them how to play D..like seriously.. they can still play the run and gun but they also need to play defense hard rather than trading baskets..because once they miss a few shots in a row, they'll be down right away as they can't guard anyone. HELL even Mbenga was scoring,blocking shots..lol

hotjoint 02-27-2009 07:08 AM

lakers :)

411ken 02-27-2009 07:31 AM

Lakers are kicking ass indeed!! imagine them with a healthy Bynum just in time for the playoffs!

On another note, did anyone see LBJ get worked on last night by the rockets.. Imagine being guarded by Artest/Battier all night hahaha.

daval 02-27-2009 11:16 AM

I hope an underdog will win the Champ, hopefully Spurs or Celtics~

I hope this is a joke as I don't know how these 2 teams can be underdogs..when they were the last 2 champs.
