No,I am good at shooting and pass,but not stong,and bad at control the ball and rebound. And I am more like to pass the ball than scored by myself.

Or call timeout when you don't have one left.
Hi Chris!

I'm the Big Ticket Kevin Garnett...

oh snap, get the Nuggets fans ready for some last minute Christmas shopping!

I chosed Power Forward as position and similar abilities as Dirk Nowitzki and I ended up with Chauncey Billups who is obviously not a power forward, but he's got a ring already.
So will Dirk as well in around 6 months hopefully.

I'm AK47
i choose Point guard how it coul come up with Andrie Krielenko

im Chris Paul...i play fundemental basketball....but i could be a Jason Kidd cuz i can do it all....

Tracy McGrady here.. Was hoping for a Dirk Nowitzki, i paly PF myself and I am a very versitile big man

Said i was like Chauncy Billups, clutch, good shooter and can pass. i wanted to be AK who's the perfect all round player when fully fit, he'll get a quintuple one day i can sense it, especialy because he is the only player to get a regulation 5x6.

Nice im Sheed! Fear the bald spot!

in fact people call me vlade... i like to sky hook or scoop it, i post up all the time, i like to dish the ball around, i have a trimmed beard and... oh yeah i wear a yugoslavia jersey lol!

I don't know if anyone is still keeping up with the NBA with all the other sports going on right now, and the NBA reaching that slow mid-season form.
However, after watching the Lakers-Heat game tonight (during 24 commercial breaks), it is becoming increasingly evident that this league is becoming very biased as to who gets calls and whom doesn't. D-Wade scored 32 points the other night...he only made 5 shots! D-Wade gets every call anytime he walks into the lane. Its getting alil bit rediculous, any star player gets favorable calls, but thats on their home court. D-Wade gets calls on the road. D-wade went to the line 7 times tonight (13 FTA). Kobe went to the line once!! Kobe averages 9 FTA a game. This game was at the staples center. The league definitely needs to look into officiating. MJ didn't even get these calls in his prime, especially not on the road.

Lakers were lucky the center from LSU wasn't playing... did anybody boo Shaq still?

Of course everyone did. And they boo'd wade too. Lakers were lucky Riley wasn't there, or else D-Wade would have gotten a call every time he touched the ball.

OMG..i came into this thread to actually discuss this. took the words out of my mouth.

Somehow Wade became the poster child of NBA and the league is caressing him w/ these calls.

check this out
Like how this "is a foul"?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aySGUzzxjGE

This is the game before the Jazz game. Wade shot 17 free throws, and the Blazers shot...7. IN Portland! That's not just a bad call. Nor is it an isolated incident.

How about Dwyane Wade taking 6 steps? (Yes, 6.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QLTtl6sbnE

I don't think I've ever seen a DWade drive where he doesn't score, get fouled, or get away with a travel.

i mean what the hell is going on

Which team do you all support?

Im not from the US, but since my 12th I started watching and playing basketball, and Ive always loved the Mavs. Got high hopes this season theyre gona win it all i tell ya

I went to the Heat - Pacers game the other night, and while I admit that Dwyane Wade gets alot of calls (I dont think its MJ-like though, Jrlm8), he is so fun to watch. He is easily Miami's best sports hero after Dan Marino. Going to the game you're just assured to be entertained. Did anyone see that left handed shot as he was falling and twisting around? That was ridiculous! He also made a half court shot but unfortunately the call was made while he wasn't in the act of shooting.

Also, nice to see Jason Kapono blossoming as a nice NBA scorer. He lives in my building and I see him all the time, so I feel a slight connection to him

I have the utmost respect for D-Wade, he seems like a very upstanding player, and a great face for the NBA. The problem is, it is way too obvious that the word has been passed down that he should be the face of the NBA and to protect him. He is fun to watch, when they let him play, going to the line 17, 23, 15 times a game is not fun to watch tho. And this all goes back to the fact that it is a little man's game now.

i play like a Chris Paul or Jason Kidd but then i got Kevin Garnett...lol....


i thought i was one of the few that thought of this...especially during the NBA Finals against my fav team...he got every call even when he didnt get touched....as soon as he gets into the lane and u put ur hand out and just touch his back its an automatic foul....i mean he gets more calls than LeBron and LeBron takes it in hard and gets fouled half the time....


D-Wade is one of my most hated players...i cant stand him...hes outstanding talent but i think he likes the media attention way toooooooooooo much....and yes i think the NBA wants him to be the face of it but i think thats still LeBron's of Kobe to lose....and i'll have to agree with you about the little mans game...but i think guys like Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett, Ming, Howard, Stoudamire will always come on top with the exception of Kobe and LeBron and Wade and Nash....

I kind of agree with you. He is a great talent, no doubt but the way he gets all the favourable calls from the refs. Meh. Same with Bron though but not much as Wade.




All-Star votes are in. Didn't see Arenas getting ahead of Carter to be honest because Carter has always been fan favourite. I hope he gets selected in the bench along with Kidd. Though I wouldn't really mind since they'll get some deserved rests if they didn't get in.

Gosh my beloved Nets need to fire Frank and fast. His iso tactics aren't working and seems 90% getting outcoached by the opponent. Losing 1 points to both Kings and Golden States when we were leading 20 points or so. It's frustrating. If things aren't working, Frank need to utilize different tactics instead of going through same predictable tactics.

EDIT: I can't believe this. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! Losing to Queens, States and now LA Clippers by 1 point! We are awful in clutch time. We should've been 3-0 but NO, we can't hold the lead ffs! I'm gutted.

EDIT 2: Anyone noticed Kidd's new free throws routine? Before he was divorced, he blew kisses to his wife and kids before every FTs but now, look at what he does . But if only he made those crucial FTs..we would've won the game.

Kidd's "kiss my ass' FT routine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCHzhQJw6Zc

Serious trouble with the Heat. With O'neal still in trouble with injuries, Wade has to do everything but still not enough. First defending champion to not make the playoff?

Anyway, anyone saw Nets v Nugget game? Much better game from my Nets. Kidd, Boki, Carter all stepped up big time. Defensively, we did one heck of a job against Iverson and Melo. And this time, we held on to the lead! Good game overall, anyone saw that 360 dunk by Vinsanity? Absolutely mesmorising stuff. Too bad it does not count as the whistle blew before the dunk. But great stuff nevertheless.

Vince Carter 360 after whistle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApeLK9SKU0k

But nothing beats this dunk!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcyd9PvXeLA

It's the same every year with the Allstar game, it doesn't matter how the popular stars perform because players like Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Yao, Shaq and T-Mac get voted into the starting line ups anyway.
I'm not saying they play a bad season but at least Shaq with all his injuries doesn't have an allstar like season for sure.
The 2 best teams in West (Mavs & Suns) don't have a starter in the Allstar game even they have MVP candidates as Nash or Nowitzki.
But well, it's about being popular anyway I suppose.

Anyway, I'm glad the Nets won a game without Kristic and Jefferson.
What's the deal with Jason Collins though mate, he gets a good amount of minutes, is a regular for the Nets since he came there but he hardly gets any shots and his rebounding still isn't good for a big man when we consider his time on the court.

My fav team, the Dallas Mavericks, do very well this season, hopefully the guys will stay healthy. I'm worried about Phoenix though, don't wanna see them taking the number 1 spot in the league away when the regular season is over.

If it was any other player in the league besides Shaq getting in with injuries (like if it was T-Mac getting in witj injuries) nobody would care. People only care because it is Shaq, nobody would criticize if Kobe or Garnett had a season similar to Shaq and got in.

Well, personally I wouldn't understand it either why Garnett and so on get voted into the allstar team if they have a season full of injuries.
The point of the allstar game shouldn't be to have the biggest names of each conference in one team, it should be to have the best players of the current season playing against each other IMO.

People wants entertainment. They vote for players who'll give them that excitement. Dunking, Alley-oops, No-look passes etc. But there are large amount of people who rarely follows NBA, voting for Shaq and other known stars because they've heard about the guy from other people. Yao Ming, who won't even play in this years All-stars due to injury still gets votes because his popular and known. Same goes for nearly most players. It surprised me to be honest at seeing Carter being 'outvoted' by Arenas because I thought he was All-star locked with his popularity amongst people (Though I do wonder how many Raptors fans voted for Arenas ). But when you look at it, Arenas have performed much better than Carter this season so he deserves it.

Kobe has been one of most hated players throughout his careers. If he got in when his not performing, those anti-Kobe fans will go nuts. But I agree with the likes of Garnett but he is performing this season so meh.



Indeed, his a useless scrub who wouldn't start for any other team except us. Same goes for Mikki Moore (though his doing one heck of a job lately). But Jason Collins is imo an excellent defender and in fact, very underrated shut-down post defender. He was the one that shut down Dwight Howard to career low points few weeks ago. He was also the one that shut down Jermaine O'neal, Eddy Curry and Chris Bosh this season. He does all the man-mark against oppositions star big man and the bits required. Plays good positional defense as well. He sometimes positions himself to block the other big men so Kidd or others can get the rebound. If only he can improve his offense...

aww man 96-94 spurs win against the lakers in OT i saw whole game lakers really should of won but their free throws killed them

Smush Parker is the worst PG in the league. Tony Parker ripped him a new one in the second half and Smush had no response. I was embarassed for Smush at times. I wish Farmar would play more. Lakers are now 4-6 in their last 10 and are going on a 8 game road trip. I would be shocked if we went better than 3-5 on this trip. Lamar is half the player he was before hurting his knee, and Bynum isn't at the point to put together a full game. Kobe needs help or else the lakers are going to be sinking quickly. I hope we can hang around the 5-6 spot, but I doubt it the way we have been playing lately.

have faith that they will do good and my team is the wizards but i like the lakers as 2nd fav

Agent Zero (Arenas) is a player. Anyone who goes out there and says they will score 50 against someone and does, gets alot of respect from me. I hope he drops 80 on Portland (not more than 80 tho, I need Kobe to keep the record behind Wilt's 100). I wish they would let him play against coach K too, that would be fun.

smush isnt bad....Parker is just better....cuz if u want to put it that way any point guard that plays against Nash is not good becuase Nash usually blows them off the court with his incredible stats....but anyways....i think they are going to do good on the road trip....they have Kobe....Odom will come back and Bynum just keeps getting better....but Radmanovich and Farmar need to step up because Walton is injured for 1-2weeks maybe more and Farmar just needs to play good....but i think Lakers will do well....and they are in the West....i dont think they were expecting anything better than the 5-6 seed in the West....

you are right. smush isn't bad. he is terrible. and point guards match up against nash, nash looks better because he runs the phoenix system better. but still, kidd, tony parker, williams, paul, bibby, watson, cassell, terry, etc. can still look good against nash, might not put up his numbers but still able to run their teams. smush goes up against the spurs and has 5 turnovers and 0 assists (for the record, this game went to overtime). the next closest starting pg had 2 assists with 3 turnovers yesterday. smush is averaging 2 assist a game for the season. he really shouldn't have a job. farmar averages the same amount of assists in a third of the time. the lakers would be around 4-5 if odom and kwame never got injured. oh well, the next three games are quite winnable (knicks, celtics, pacers) but being on the road could be a disaster. i hope pj benchs smush thou, then trades him for a sack of potatoes.

speaking of the canadian sensation, he is back at the skills comp to defend his title against LeBron, Wade, and Kobe. should be fun.

VIIIINNCCEEE CCAAARRTTEEERR! Now, 11.3 seconds left. Nets down by 3. No timeouts left. Vinsanity goes in for the uncontested dunk. Then we foul Deron Williams. He chokes, making 1/2 from the line. With no timeout and 5.7 seconds left, Vince dribbles it up, calm and composed. With 3 Jazz players in front of him AND 5 feet behind the 3 pointer line, he launches it and BANG. Goes in and silences Jazz crowd. He politely waved to them as if this is normal to him.

Finally some luck to us! 1 point victory (not loss!) over the Jazz. BUT once again, I cannot skip this game without some negative comments about our tactics. Even though, Vince has won us the game, Frank has continuously handed the ball to Vince at the top of the key for the most of 4th quarter, asking him to carry the team. And our leader and PG 'Kidd' didn't even touched the ball besides throwing it in to other players from out of bounds section. I know he won us this game and such but when Kidd is in the game and runs this team, we actually outscore the other team and wins comfortably. I don't know why Frank emphasises so much on Vince iso. Meh.

Anyway, back to the game, once again, overall, an excellent game! Cheers to Carter, Kidd and House who stepped up. It was also great to see Collins going at each other. Just look at their stats:

Jason Collins with 2pts (1-3 FG), 4 rebounds, 3 Assists. Jarron Collins with 5 pts (2-5FG), 1 Assists, 1 Rebound.
Good matchup [/sarcasm]

BTW, anyone saw Deron William's pass to Okur (who came off) who was standing in front of the bench thinking he was actually in the game? Hilarious.
---
OT: I had the slightest hopes of Nets getting Garnett but it's gone now. His agent and T'wolves said Garnett doesn't like moving during the summer and never requested transfer. So that's done. Now Gasol is our main target.
---
Now, on to the Nuggets. Interesting stats I counted (mostly due to some argument with Nuggets fan). Since Iverson came to Denver, they've lost 10 and only won 8. Before Iverson came, they were 14-9 which is quite acceptable compare to now. With Melo back, some of the Nuggets fans I know saw their team as a contender for the championship. So far, they are 2-3 when they play together (including tonight's lost to Bobcats). Taking time to gel or bust move?

Well, Smush Parker isn't a natural PG. He was never a PG that can run a offense. He is more of small SG like Iverson. He rarely ran a offense when he was with the Suns, Cavs or Lakers and sometimes, he was being used as more of SG that plays defense. Plus, he has both quickness and explosiveness in him as Lakers fans saw it numerous times last season which makes in dangerous to guard. He tries hard and gives 100% in his performance imo. I'm not saying his good but his not terrible at all like you said. But there was a rumour or two about Kidd being offered to Lakers for some scrubs that Nets will never take which means that Lakers ARE looking for a PG.



Yeah. Nash went in but I was hoping Kidd goes in as well. He was the champion when this skill comp first started.

EDIT:
Carter's unbelievably, incredible, inconceivable, unthinkable, fabulous, fantastic, exceptional, extraordinary, ridiculous 3 pointer. Found it on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Opom6wgy5I&eurl=

yes, the lakers are looking for Kidd. but to make a deal to get him, is going to take alot of our talent and expiring contracts. but kidd wants to get away from his ex-wife and the organization so it could be happening soon. but i would seriously doubt we could put together a package that could steal kidd away.
smush sucks. we already have the best SG in the game, there is no need for another so he should try to concentrate on playing his position.

nice shot by vince.

and bust move on the nuggets. melo is too immature. ai is too old to deal with it. it won't work.

For Wife? Meh, they are divorced but the thing is that his wife has threatened Nets that she's going to reveal some 'secrets' about other players. I'm guessing Jefferson being bisexual is one of them. But organisation? Nah. Kidd loves it here and already said that he would love to be a Net for rest of his career. He lvose Thorn and knows that he isn't goign to rebuild. They also have confirmed that Kidd is going nowhere. According to the rumour about Lakers though, Lakers will offer Kwame, Mihm, Mckie, Farmer and no.1 pick in 07 for Kidd but Nets rejected it. The offer made me laugh even though we probably wouldn't get much for Kidd if we were to trade him.



Kidd and Carter both picked for the game. Well, Nash and Nowitzki were locked to make it to Western conference reserve so doesn't surprise me but I was kind of surprised to see Melo not being there.

Also, Washington Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan will coach the Eastern Conference while Mike D’Antoni and his staff will coach the Western Conference All-Stars.

Oh and Miami Heat announced today that they have signed free agent guard Eddie Jones and requested waivers on guard Robert Hite. Shaq doesn't like the move I heard. Meh.

Aren't the nets still below .500?
I could see Kidd being tired of playing in the east, and demanding a trade.

agent sero (gilbert arenas) will get mvp he is havin a great season.

and i am a pistons fan so i think they will win obvisoly lol

but i think suns willfianlly break through

If Agent Zero wins MVP, Kobe should jump David Stern. Arenas is doing what Kobe did last year, just less effectively. Its between Dirk and Nash.

just watch and see Gilbert Arenas AKA Agent 0 will not get the MVP because he plays in the crappy East and his team is nowhere close to being the best team in the East yet alone the NBA....Nash is having a career year but it will come down to him and Nowtizki....Nowitzki is the best player on the best team...so most likely he will win it if the Mavs hold up....but Phoenix cant beat the top teams in the West...and Mavs definetely can...so i think Dirk or Kobe will eventually get the MVP......

Yeah but Thorn will make a trade before trade deadline. If things are going the way they are going right now, expect a trade. Thorn's doing everything he can to make a deal without rebuilding. Gasol, Garnett, Ely, Jermaine O'neal all have been mentioned which means that they are doing something. Also, Nets have imo been one of the unluckiest team ever with so many OT, buzzer, 1 point loses. We should be above .500 but things happen and we lacked concentration at the end. I still expect us to make a winning streak after the All-Star break like we ALWAYS do/did back when we received Carter, or the season after that when we had losing record before making 2 '10 winning streak'. We'll make the playoff as division leader. (even though it's nothing to be proud in Atlantic Division)



Arenas will not get the MVP this year. He is far too inconsistent and furthermore, his team is in the 'LEastern Conference' as just over 60% winning rate. When looking at MVP, they look at your team's winning record and 60% is nothing to be proud of.

Nash is in consideration and is doing unbelievably well but I don't think he'll win 3 consecutive MVP. He isn't even top 5 all-time PG in my or most of NBA fans book and yet, he gets more MVP than all of them? That's not right. 3 MVP is in same league as Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, M.Malone. The likes of Shaq, Garnett, Duncan, Hakeem, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Barkley only has 1 or 2 MVP as well as superior point guard such as Payton, Kidd, Stockton, Isiah, Oscar, Cousy receiving 0 or 1 MVP.

I partly agree with Greatness as well. Phoenix's record against top teams are extremely poor while Mavs have beaten top sides through their records. I think Dirk will get it.

Interesting what Cavs got to offer? Gooden? Snow? Hughes? Wesley? Marshall? Meh, we'll see...

Comments on Nets v Magic today.

Marcus Williams + Antoine Wright. Those two have great chemistry together if only they could both be on the court at the same time! Bit surprised that Nachbar didn't play more but the bench still did well. It didn't hurt that Carter took advantage of the Magic's weak 2 guard position either. Uncle Cliffy did decent job imo on Howard even though Howard and Darko(surprise surprise) did well. Kidd proved a tough task for Jameer. Despite being 34, he still plays great defense on some of these youngsters and still does well in other department. He also made some crucial shots which turned the game around.

For the Magics, Hedo and most of the guards decided to take stupid contested jumpers without going inside first and drawing the defense. They had no answer for that. Its not smart as Darko and Dwight dominated us inside.

Or BTW anyone saw yesterday's Dwight Howard Buzzer Hoop? Gosh, monster jam by him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNb5dfeI93I

Other note. Raptors are really surprising me. Bosh is scoring and doing everything to lead this young Raptors and deserves some MVP chants he gets. Colangelo also done great job in building aroud Bosh with the signings of Ford and drafting Bargnani. And if the Raptors continue this form after the break, it could be very hard for the Nets to catch up (Luckily they lost to Pistons today). Also, Denver is awful after the trade and the fact that when Iverson was out, they won means that Melo + Iverson combo aren't working. Celtics have lost 17 in a row and rusty night for injury comeback Pierce yesterday against us. Still with him back, I expect them to break that streak soon.

Suns minus Nash losing to Hawks just shows how Nash is important to that team. Aren't they 1-13 when Nash is out? Gosh.

Haha. Damn I'm the only one posting here.

Anyway some interesting news and trade rumours I found but nothing surprising.



As much as I love the Nets and Kidd, I think Kidd deserves to be with championship contenders. With Kidd in either Cavs or Lakers, it's definitely going to improve his chances rather than being as a Net. But if Kidd is dealt, I expect good draft picks and prospects in return. Furthermore, Marcus Williams is future All-star imo and will fill in well if Kidd is gone.



Probably, Andres Nocioni, PJ Brown, Chris Duhon, Adrian Griffin, 1st round pick (NY swap option), 2nd round pick 2007 for Pau Gasol, Dahntay Jones and Alexander Johnson ? Since Gordan is off limit.

Bulls starting 5:
Hinrich
Gordon
Deng
Gasol
Wallace

Looks good for Bulls and Grizz meanwhile gets two draft pick, one which they can use it on either Oden or Durant if they get lucky. And the other one, they can use it to get future PG. Damn! I wish Nets get Oden but no chance at all unless we trade both Carter and Kidd...



Both deserved imo. Howard have been immense during Mavs excellent record while Melo is the scoring leader with 30.9 pg.

Nets arent going to bite on the Laker trade because they want Kwame without Kwame being hurt, and thats not happening. It sucks! I wanted Kidd to be a laker.

how about Mr.Agent 0 guaranteeing 50pts against Portland and falls 41pts short....soo much for Mr.Predictable....and btw....Suns are trash without Nash and i don't expect the Gasol deal to happen because he said he didn't wanna leave....

Well, Nets are 'seriously' considering. I expect Nets to make one of those 'big' trade involving one of our big 3 soon. Thorn already said that if things don't work, he'll look for a trade so I expect either Kidd or Carter to be dealt. (Carter can opt out of his contract)

For the Lakers - giving up drafts and prospect (such as Farmer whom Lakers fans love) for 34 aged star can be a stupid trade if things don't work but Kidd can give Lakers cap space in 2 years(which you can sign Garnett or whatever later) and on paper - KB, Kidd, Odom looks a great triple threat and if Bynum can live up to the expectation and potential, they'll be one heck of a team. And if Kwame Brown is somehow not involved in this: (But does the contract match though? I don't think so as Kidd earns 20 mil next year)

Bynum
K.Brown (if not him than Collins (He is better defender than Brown)/Radmanovic/Odom/Cook)
Odom/Walton
KB
Kidd (I reckon he still can play at least 3 more years at high level)

If Kwame is kept, that team looks like a contender imo, or even if Jason Collins come, move Odom at power forward and Walton at SF. And with Phil Jackson as a coach, they'll gel together pretty well imo.

But realistically, LA will deal Kwame, Farmar, Mckie, Mihm, and a 2007 1st rounder for Kidd, filler, and a 2nd round pick. There was a report in clublakers.com (not trustworthy source though) that both have agreed to the trade and deal will be done by 8pm Est (5pm Pacific). There was also another rumour that Kwame Brown is currently being examined by Nets medical staff. Meh.

There was another trade rumour involving Carter for Pierce for the Nets. Bah, more rebuilding for the Nets?



And Kidd is in doubt as well with back injury. (or is it?) It's been confirmed that he'll miss two Nets game (Spurs today and Raptors tomorrow) already. Also, Baron Davis will have a surgery. Once a injury prone, always a injury prone.

Arenas with 9 pts in 3-15 fg and 0-8 in 3pt. To go with 5 rebound, 2 assists with 5 turnovers in 33 minutes.
Furthermore:





They are having a go at each other again.

EDIT: Nets at home is getting blown to pieces by Spurs. Gosh! 20+ pts blowout.
New Jersey Nets is now 11-25 without Kidd....

EDIT 2: Ric Bucher just said on ESPN that the Lakers need a third team to complete the deal. Kidd and Bibby was mentioned.

Baron Davis is a sad story in opinio...i was soo happy to see Okur make it but would have rather seen Deron Williams over Ray Allen though....

we almost blew it against bulls but bosh came up huge at the end, go raptors!

that loss actually hurt. like i feel so upset by losing to the knicks twice, i can't get over it. absolutely rediculous. if mitch doesn't sign Kidd, I am going to be really upset. this team sucks.

Tim Hardaway hates gay people.
``You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States.''

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/16700045.htm

He later apologized for the comments.

So I guess the can of worms is now open...

Atlantic Division title over for the Nets? Raptors are on fire lately and if this streak continues, Nets won't even make it to the playoff. Tank the season and get Oden! Well I expected the loss anyway, without Jefferson, Krstic and most of all Kidd missing with injuries, what can you do? Losing Kidd hurts us the most. As I've said, we are 11-27 without Kidd. It's like the Suns, Kidd is the heart and soul of our team. He is our leader and sometimes, as pathetic as this sound, he tells coach Frank what to do and organises our offence and defence. And I'll eat my word about Marcus Williams being a future all-star. He just reminded me of younger Marbury or Francis without consistent jumper and shot - more of shooting first pass 2nd pg.

On positive note though, I'm more and more impressed with Nachbar. Excellent consistent shooter unlike House - inconsistent and only knows how to chuck (but he had a good game).



Well deserved imo. I'm also glad that Kidd is resting. We need him back to full health so we can make a late push for playoff spot like we did in 04/05 season.

Then he must hate John Amaechi who actually came out and said he is gay. Heh.



Heh, we'll see if the deal goes through. Latest report suggests that Lakers need one more team to be involved in this trade. But Thorn already confirmed that the move is unlikely to happen.

i was glad that Joe Johnson made the all star reserves. I don't think there was any other guard in the East that deserved it more than he did....well deserved....

Raptors been on fire finally we have a chance of making it to the playoffs
