I don't think we're allowed to post entire Insider article content on the boards, but I can sum it:
The Good
Orlando Magic - Grant Hill is Comeback Player of the Year/Feel-Good story of the NBA.
Phoenix Suns - Amare Stoudemire is the next truly great player in the NBA (I say: uh, what about LeBron?)
Sacremento Kings - Webber/Bibby/Peja all red-hot, Kings look hard to beat.
Denver Nuggets - K-Mart looked good in past three games, but can he keep up against a team with a real power forward?
Cleveland Cavaliers - Drew Gooden filing in nicely for Boozer, also averaging twice as many blocks as Boozer did with the Cavs.
The Bad
New Jersey Nets - Averaging 81.4 ppg, worst scoring avg in past 20+ years of NBA.
Seattle SuperSonics - When perimeter shots don't fall, Sonics suck. Payton says if you put a hand down their throats and make them miss 3s, they're not so good.
Dallas Mavericks - Dirk's injury coupled with others = bad news.
Chicago Bulls - On annual "circus trip" against West, 0-37 in past six years, likely to be 0-40 this year.
Golden State Warriors - Coach frustrated with Dunleavy's subpar play.
New Orleans Whorenets - Hornets suck at getting to line, only avg 17 FTA a game.
The Upside
Toronto Raptors - Sources claim leak of Blazers trade was deliberate to generate interest in Vinsanity; it worked, Sonics, Griz, Heat, Mavs have all made a play for him.
New York Knicks - Bulls chairman said Crawford would never win championship, Crawford proceeds to average 21 ppg and 5.5 apg for the week, resulting in upset of Rockets and Cavs, as well as playing close with Spurs.
Philidelphia 76ers - Kyle Korver is as good a pure shooter as they come.
Los Angeles Clippers - Marko Jaric plays well, Clips have found their point gaurd.
Boston Celtics - Rivers' decision to bench Davis to light a fire under his ass works; Davis scores 25 off bench on Sunday.
Charlotte Bobcats - Bobcats could realistically be 5-4; better then anyone gave them credit for.
Utah Jazz - Okur hasn't cracked starting line-up, but is finally playing well off the bench.
Los Angeles Lakers - Lakers are off to rocky 6-5 start, but are 4-1 at home and play 13 of next 17 at Staples.
bionic77 said:He is playing hurt. Of course his game is going to suffer. Grant Hill and Shaq should take some notes.
Nonsense.
The foot injury was brought to light after game 7, and his FG% has only risen since then (a testament to his fortitude, I'm sure you'll say ). Besides, if it were REALLY serious, there's no way he'd be playing with true plantar fasciitis. And remember that Kobe is not the first guy to ever play hurt, either. But it's ok bionic-- as the season progresses, and Kobe's FG% tries desperately to creep above 42%, just remember that the excuse train rolls on! Another worthless ESPN "Insider" article. Did they overlook the fact that the Sonics are finally bruising people down in the lane and snagging lots of rebounds? I think so.
Anyway, I wonder how the fans who were throwing debris at Ron Artest and the rest of the Pacers would feel if those same players took time off their busy schedule, set up a lawn chair on a selected garbage rout, and proceeded to hurl trash as those fucks did their job?

Your hate is strong Loki. However, you and your dark master will not be able to keep Kobe out of the playoffs and he will finish with a 45 FG%.
Maybe we should trade Brian Grant for Artest? The Pacers would probably take that right now and it isn't like we would miss Grant. Win win!

I can't stop laughing.
Cloudy said:He got "fouled" and made the fts to force OT where he made the game-winner
Yeah, I remember seeing that play and saying to myself, "that's not a foul!"-- Kirilenko covered like half the court in one second to block that shot, and he got robbed on that call. It was a clean block, especially for the end of the game.
lol With all the guys that Wade is making hit the floor, they're gonna have to start calling him Dwayne "Skid Marks" Wade.

And it wasn't his fault, he was set up. This is deep, bionic. Real deep. I'm going to make a documentary about that season, how T-Mac was setup to fail by...
:lol
Dude, you are killing me. You made me start laughing out loud in my copyright class!
