I wanna see cavs make it, Lebron has done so much. his stats are all across the board, today he posted a 30-5-5-5 coming off a triple double. If they can somehow keep Big Z and sign Michael Redd or Damon Stoudamire they will be stronger post season, especially with Varejeo developing well.

Anyway, i think Miami will get it. NEws is nestorovic is on the injured list, not looking good for the spurs.

looks like rasho is gone for the season.
But how bout spurs winning two double OTs on back to back days and without gino in the second game.
Pretty impressive stuff there
I still think theyll get the best record in the league, especially if duncan comes back a few games before the playoffs

whats everyones thoughts on david stern's 20 year old age limit for rookies coming into the nba? I reckon its a great idea, it'll mean no more kwame browns! On the same note, did anyone read Jermaine Oneal's comments about the age limit thing be regarded as 'racist'? funniest thing ive read ever.

 

[Alimoe_KG]

what's this age limit thing?
i haven't heard about it yet =(

 

[nuffsaid]

20 y.o. age limit is a great idea because they need dumb arses like jermaine o'neal to stay in school

racist? hah you've got to be kidding me

They want to put a cap on the age of rookies declaring for the draft, basicly stopping people coming straight out of high school and forcing them to goto college for a year or two to develop their game. I see it as a great initiative to preserve the integrity of the nba, there's too many dumbass swingmen in the game at the moment, and too many players being paid shitloads to develop, when they could be in college getting developed and playing regular bball.

Jermaine Oneal think its racist because it denies african americans who's only skill is bball. His argument is if you can goto war at 18 why cant you play bball? I dunno if he's looked around or not, but like 99% of the nba is african american

HAHAHAAH damn right.

 

[Tommy_69]

nah maybe bobcats

 

[xsb]

so what team would you all like to see bogut on??

 

[Alimoe_KG]

LA
i wanna see the Aussies start bagging out Kobe as well

Well i think its most likely between, atlanta, utah, new orleans and charlotte. Utah would be good, he'll learn heaps from boozer and okur and not to mention kirlenko, but the amount of minutes he will get is questionable. If he goes to atalanta there will be a solid set of guards for him(smith,childress). I would like to see him in Charlotte though, i thnk an Okafor/Bogut front court will be deadly.

deadly indeed! people people, it is time for our thoughts on who should be MVP, defensive player of the year, rookie of the year, and name your All NBA first and second teams!
