the fucked up getting rid of Lewis....the reason they made that run a few years ago was because they were a matchup nightmare with Lewis and Turk and Alston was playing above head.


once Turk left they werent the same than they went out and got arenas this year.

they are a mess.


dwights gonna leave probably. although its not like they suck. he should just stay.

the magic shouldnt have done the Arenas - Lewis trade. Arenas has killed them i mean i watched the game yesterday and he was just awful and he been awful all season. there was a moment in the game where they played a pick n roll Howard moved he was wide open under the bucket waving his arms about it was the easiest pass Arenas could make but instead he dribbled into no mans land and turned the ball over. plus they dont benefit from the fact that both Turk and Richardson have lost their abilities to finish around the rim so they both have just become jumpshooters.

i can see the Spurs going out in the first round, however much i want them to win it I just dont get the winning vibe from the Spurs, even though they have won 60 games this season. still its only game 1 so you never know.

playoffs have been good so far though, props to Indiana for giving Chicago a game. and yes Rose is awesome.

dude clutch doesn't mean you make every shot. everyones human. that jordan commerical way back even said how he missed many more shots than he made to win games. and you want him as your closer before anyone.

yes and no imo. he was key, but he was losing it. he decreased in scoring and 3 point percentage every year since leaving the sonics. he left the magic averaging a little over 12 and finished the year at 11 something a game.

i do agree tho getting arenas was not a good piece of business. hes not doing shit, along with taking a contract that was a year longer than rashards and just as shitty. shard was 2 more years at like 40 and arenas is 3 more at like 60.

they have a lot of bad contracts they need to dump. they just need to try and get cp3.

i think Kobe is the most cluthc player in the game....Melo isnt even close to him.

[Fatal Guillotine]

i think the lakers are going to win the series

If you watched the last minute of that game you would know that I was not strictly referring to the missed shot. He also made a stupid mistake with that offensive foul with 45 seconds remaining. He failed. Simple as that.

the Knicks need more seasoning. This year is kind of a wash. I dont expect them to beat a well-oiled machine like the Celtics.

everyone in here underestimates how good Boston is. I dont really know why. They are proven champions, and up there with the greatest teams of all-time. with Perkins.


I know they are older, and i dont know if they can beat the Heat, but they would handle the Bulls in a playoff series.

They would harass Rose to death. Their defense is no joke.

An offensive foul which most everyone concieded was bullshit...
