How can you say that? :lol He's a top 10 PG in this league and that's while sharing playing time with Earl Watson. Dude would be a HUGE upgrade over Chucky while the Lakers develop their draft PG and Sasha...

Gumby should have kept that to himself. So the refs are supposed to give you favorable calls after you call them out in the media? o_O

Cuban should have kept his mouth shut first,he does think hes the coach and all.Also Gundy has been sending the league tapes all season long about bs calls against Yao,this is him just playing Cubans game for the media....I guess he figures if Cuban can do it wtf cant he.

Imo they should just let the players play,the league has become pussy like.

That media crap only seemed to work for Phil Jackson. Adelman tried it yesterday and we all know how that worked out :lol

Earl Watson is a FA and is likely bolting (to LA i wish, he's much better than white chocolate, but probably to Atlanta or somethign) so i doubt Memphis will give up their only other PG option. Besides, Phil is coming back and JWill doesn't seem like a triangle type of pg.

also, rumor out of Sam Smith (don't know how reliable he is) is that KG is disgruntled and wants OUT of minny, and the Wolves are willing to take a "Shaq type deal" (2 starters and a draft pick) for him (his words, not mine). Hell? Why not just give him what we got for Shaq? Lamar, Caron, maybe George and Vlade, hell throw in Mihm if you have to! GET TO WORK MITCH, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Memphis can pay him more and give an extra year on the deal. They will trade Jason and Lorenzen Wright for expiring Ks and re-sign Watson, Battier and Swift...

If you believe both Watson and Williams will be on the Grizz next year, you know absolutely nothing about the NBA....

Regardless of that, what team has two PGs signed long-term with salaries over the mid-level exemption? :lol

I just think they'll keep Watson since they play him in crunchtime over J-Will...

I never liked Williams game, I would rather he doesn't come to LA. Yes he is extremely good at handling the ball and one of the most entertaining passers around, I just don't ever see him becoming a winner.

And Matrix, stop the crying. You are the only one who sees the Rockets getting screwed by the refs. I really hate when bball fans start bitching about the refs. Put the blame where it belongs, on the Rockets for blowing that 2 game lead.

Well the nation doesn't care about that series because it realizes the winner of that series won't make it past the next round. What's the term? Ah... oh yes... cannon fodder.

You are probably right, but it was still more entertaining to watch than Miami/NJ.

I said it before, New Jersey is always involved in the ugliest playoff games I have ever seen, so for that I hold Miami blameless. Kidd always seems to have the worst collection of talent around him and it always shows in the playoffs.

Please. The Bulls-Wizards series has been one of the best first-round matchups...not to mention Chicago is the 2nd biggest market in the NBA.

At least they're giving a free preview of NBATV for the first round so I can actually watch the game.

P.S. How are Knicks doing in the playoffs...?

One im the only Rocket fan here posting about Cubans bs cause their are only like 3 or 4 of us true Rocket fans here.Dm and Mig feel the same way and just havent posted it about,trust me I know this through Aim,they just dont want to deal with you guys.

Also I'm not the only one seeing it,when a professional basketball coach sees something and complains about it,he's wrong and you're 100% right? Give me a break,some of you act like you know everything.Also I can bitch all I want,90% of us sports fans bitch in this very thread bitch about refing and their teams play throughout the season.Ive had to read through countless posts dealing with Kobe,MJ,Lakers,how the Spurs are the greatest team known to man kind etc etc etc I basically skip if I dont want to read it,you dont want to read about how I feel about the refs and Cuban this series.....than simply scroll on by my post.

I'm not happy with the way the Rockets have played the last two games and I do blame them for the losses,but I dont like the shitty bs Cuban is pulling and thats what im ranting about.

Also the Rockets have had issues with the refs all season long,their have been articles in the Houston Chronicle about it on and off all season.These Yao issues have been brought up before by Gundy,not all of this is about the Playoffs and Cuban thats pissing me off.

Also the issue seemed to be dropped but you just brought it up again :|

who cares who they're gonna play next round. the games are extremely entertaining.

there's been a lot of whining from coaches and shit this year. Cuban, then Van Gundy, Lawrence Frank, and George Karl whining about Manu.

Dont forget Frank Hamblen...oops, my bad.

100K for Gundy :lol Gundy took one for Yao :p

if we would have made the playoffs, it would have been Rudy T as coach, and the only thing Rudy would have been complaining about is that they put ice in his vodka.

I thought you wanted a defensive PG? I love JWill, he's one of the best ballhandlers and passers in the league, but he has never been good defensively.

I've realized that a guy who will keep the offense moving while creating for others might be even more important. He doesn't need to be that great on defense if he's making the other PG work as well. Also, the less play-making Kobe has to do, the more efficient he is on both ends.

Lakers lost so many close games this year cos they were inefficient on offense leading to breakdowns in the defense and I don't really want a rookie PG starting so a J-Will type would be great. He is very underrated...

$100,000 fine if you release the truth to the public

$10,000 fine for just bitching like the other coaches

$7,000 Melo physically harms someone and gets fined

thats how it works

AB Quality of the series has nothing to do with national perception of the two teams(I've watched all the games myself living just north of DC and it has been a good series... and you lost me on the Knicks comment.

Aww all the Wizards and Bulls fans are riled up... awww that's so sweet.

I'm simply saying that most of the US doesn't care about a Bulls team that has someone whose name SOUNDS like Jordan... and they don't care about a DC team that USE to have someone whose name WAS Jordan.

agreed on both counts. i really like watching the bulls play, and at least one player should have been suspended for that ridiculous foul on manu.

Wallace gets Defensive Player of the year! Was this just announced? No one said anything.

He deserves it, I was scared for a moment there when rumors were Bowen was getting it. When a guy can scare the crap out of opponents just by being in the paint, he's got something going. Shaq doesn't have that anymore, Shaq is just a big obstacle to move around. But Wallace, he's a beast at times.

Exactly what I was thinking.

As for DPoY, I believe this was Bowen's year. He was definitely the best defender in the league. Ben had like his worst season in the last 5 years, eventhough it was still really good. I still can't be pissed because Big Ben is an awesome player. Bruce was probably affected by Tim having a great defensive season, also.

Expect Melo to go 0-23 tonight. Not that it would be too difficult for it to happen. :p

I dunno what they said on your chicago station, but on my broadcast of the game they said Kwame had a stomach virus which is why he didnt show up to practice or the game.

That is just Jordan's propoganda. He owns that town and you can't trust its media.

Jordan has nothing to do with DC anymore after we seperated on such harsh terms, it wasn't a smooth divorce :lol
