I heard we tried to get Stoudamire in a 3 way where Phoenix would get Boozer and Utah would get draft picks and some Heat players. I'm scared but thanks to Riley, Wade, Beasley, and South Beach, people want to come here.
NY can offer max money to 2 players.

After watching the 1st game today I've come to the realization that I don't hate basketball... I hate my hometown team. The Sixers completely turned me off to the NBA, but after watching 2 GOOD teams play I'm tuned in again!

Is Antawn Jamison a curse? Cavs got shat on twice since he came onboard.

I'm not big into basketball, look where I live, never anything to get excited about.

If one more local newscaster says the way the Wizards are playing (since they traded everybody) is worth going to game, I'm going to reach through the TV and smack then eff out of them.

I can't ever recall seeing anything more pathetic in sports than watching the Raptors and Bulls fight for the 8th and final playoff spot. Its like a really bad game of hot potato. The Bulls lose to the Nets one game, and then hammer the Raptors at home.

All for the glory of getting annihilated in 4 by the Cavs. I vote they take the 8 spot away and give the Cavs a bye.

Meh. He's good but he's not a #1 guy, never will be. And his defense is suspect at best. Wherever he goes he better not be the only option. I won't miss him all that much. Its not as if the team was any good with him.

Yep...Bulls are gonna be mincemeat for the Cavs.


Here's hoping LeBron will sign with Chicago. Rose to LeBron is not a bad pipedream.

Sad part is, Toronto will likely get the spot. Bulls play the Celts and Bobcats, both still playing for something which = Bulls loss.

Raptors, now a half game ahead play the Knicks. Enjoy the better draft position.

I don't get it. How come the Mavs haven't locked up the 2nd seed yet? They are 1 game up on the Nuggets and each have one game left. So if the Mavs lose and Nuggets win, they would have the same record but the Mavs would have the tiebreaker cus they won the series 2-1 vs the Nuggets...

i think he's a great player. is he a #1? probably not. but he would be a good 1A or 1B guy. all the Raps need is a solid 2 guard. Salmons is a guy they should have gone after at the trade deadline

I hope Toronto makes it so that we get they're draft pick. They say that Bosh has better defense than Amare. I hope we get him so that we have a lineup of Wade, Bosh, Beasley. Or trade Beasley for a good PG and re-sign Haslem.

I knew Bulls could do it. They showed such tenacity last year, and even though they lost Gordon and Salmons, they're definitely bringing it back.

although i did want the Raps to get in, it does save the shame of getting swept by Lebron and we'll get a better pick now. what a collapse down the stretch. sad

I hope the Celtics have just been loafing around on purpose and are ready to step up to the form they had at the beginning of the season...

Assuming we get past the Heat, I am hoping in 5. I like our chances against Cleveland, we match up well with them. Also if Rondo steps up like he did last year, watch out...

Seriously, I don't expect the Bulls to win against the Cavs...but, I do hope they can put up a fight like they did against the Celtics in the playoffs last time.


Cuz, wow...that was probably THE best playoff series I've ever seen...

Brandon Roy set to have knee surgery. One game in, he already gets fucked up. That team is full of busts.
