I shoot people
I kinda feel sorry for Iverson... he's gettin' older, and has no "ring", meanwhile his ol' team is still hangin' in there with Detroit... and might actually have a chance to go to the next round

Bosh was owned by Howard sure. But he got no help whatsoever. The Raptors as a whole are/were the worst team in the East/league the last quarter of the season.
Magic.

but whenever i start feeling sorry for an athlete, i realize how much they're making from salary and endorsements and the fact that they get to play basketball for a living.
then i lose any kind of sympathy.

lucky to even be in the playoffs... soft jump shooting teams never do well.
Good thing is that there will be a lot of changes in the off season.

BTW, after watching the Spurs take the series 4-1. Marion>Shaq. Suns should be kicking themselves for that trade.

but that's a different argument than what i posted, which was a response to is300eater's post.
but either way, we're getting off topic now.
let's go houston!

I predicted the Magic to come out of the East at the beginning of the season. Or once they signed rashard. I hope it comes true, as much as I still want to see a lakers/celtics finals.
I have to root for the lakers, although I think the Jazz (who should beat the rockets) would be a tough series.
I hope the bugs can take out the spurs. I'm tired of seeing them in the playoffs.

Suns went out with a wimper. They likely would have been better off not making that trade. I think the curtain has officially closed on their window of opportunity.

Something had to be done.

i agree that they had to do something.
obviously, it didn't work out. but how many of us thought it would have anyways?
looks like d'antoni's on his way out. their lack of defense was really the key.
+1 for the hornets. i do not want to see the spurs again.

I'd like to see how your point guard situation pans out; in D'Antoni's system, the point guard's ability to get past people is the most important aspect (hence, why having a plodding big like Shaq was NEVER gonna work for him).

it's too bad, while I don't care for any of their players (Mavs), I actually like Avery

Team Owner
I wouldn't be surprised either way if they kept/dumped their coach. Riley never got fired from NY or Miami when they couldn't pass Chicago or NY. Sometimes, teams just have to wait for dynasties to die.

It's a shame, and I think it's why they get injury prone near the end of the
year, especially in the playoffs. They just get worn out.
Grant hill was meant to fill a good chunk of Marion's shoes. They beat the Spurs
a few times this year, and they had a very good chance of beating them,
had they had their entire roster.
Oh, and trading Tim Thomas was stupid.
