Lets see, shaq goes out, heat go on a run, shaq comes in, suns go on a run. Somehow none of the announcers are noticing this trend.

Wade's just going bananas this quarter. Shaq sits and he opens a can on Phoenix. Why isn't his name mentioned first before others? He's unbelievable. And I'm not just saying that b/c I'm a Heat fan. :D PEACE.

Phoenix would be a championship team if they played a lick of D. They are one defensive stopper away. They win this game if they had anyone who could stay in front of Wade...

if they had a stopper, he would have to be able to run with the team on o. Basketball is complex and just because you insert player here doesn't mean the team will be better. However, I do agree with you (shudder) that if the Suns had a stooper who fit in with their running scheme they'd be tougher for sure and a force in the playoffs (not that they are not going to be already)

With a PG like Nash, no player will have a problem running cos they know they will see the ball. I think the Suns will be really deadly next year if they address their depth and defense...

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
Hmm I wonder if any of Kobe's friends called him up tonight to tell him about that shot.

I don't know if anyone else will think this is as funny as me, but I just wanted to tell someone.
I'm first place in my NBA fantasy league and one of my closest friends is in second and has made some major gains against me in the last month. Until his entire team got injured.
In the last month these players have gotten hurt:
1. Carlos Boozer
2. Brad Miller
3. Andre Kirilenko
4. Tracy McGrady (if tonights injury turns out to be bad)
5. Steve Francis (not injured but not playing)
and he has had Sam Cassell just sitting there for months playing occasionally.

This dude is worse than the SI and Madden curse put together. If Lebron gets hurt (he has him too) then you can blame it on team "Sam I am" :lol

ROY, 6th Man, MVP....I kid of course...or do I...

Well seriously though, the only person who can take the MVP from Nash at this point is

31632090.jpg


Iverson's had a great year, but 8th place in the East doesnt garner MVP votes, Duncan is hurt for the rest of the regular season I guess, and I don't know if he can win it anymore. Of course KG's numbers are sheer insanity but their record is not, and Lebron has great numbers too but with the Cavs sliding, so are his MVP hopes. Shaq vs Nash....I'll take Shaq. Sorry.

Its funny how things go, I have probably one of the worst teams in the Gaming-Age league and I'm winning it. I have the 1 seed locked up now, 9 up with just this week to go.

The funny thing is that it seems every week some of the best players of my oponents get injured or suspended when I play them. This week it was Tim Duncan, last week Lamar Odom. Other perfect timing injuries include Kirilenko, Nowitzki, Shaq, I think Nash, Ben Wallace was suspended when I played him, Pau Gasol, and Probably a bunch more that I don't remember.

I've had my bad luck too, J. O'neal suspended and now injured, Artest, Magloire(finally back) and Camby(plays every other game).

Nearly returned
The initial report, however, listed McGrady as questionable to return. McGrady even began preparing to return to the game, when the decision was made to instead send him for an MRI to be sure there were no tears or other damage beyond the strain.

"Nothing torn, nothing new, just calling it a hip strain," Rockets trainer Keith Jones said after getting the MRI report. "The MRI was basically for what we were looking at negative. We'll see (Saturday) night how much soreness he has, what his range of motion is."

Woo! MRI negative! Hopefully T-Mac can play tomorrow against the Spurs.

I agree. I think it is all an act.

Konex is obviously a Laker hater on a level previously unheard of.

Konex find a new franchise and player to torture for next season.

Have you guys read this shit? Its so funny :lol (the "12th man" on the Suns)

Earlier this evening, I met a friend of mine from college for dinner. Upon our arrival, we decided that neither of us was particularly hungry, so ordered some iced tea and an appetizer with intentions of a lazy discussion of nothing in particular. After an hour or so, our waitress noticed that I was wearing an Interpol T-shirt (the band, not the international crime-fighting organization). She remarked, with a point in the direction of my shirt, “Hey, do y’all know that they are playing here in Atlanta tonight?” Interpol could very well be the second-best band in the world right now (the first being an outfit fronted by a man named Maynard), so my interest was piqued.

When the game was over, I was fatigued, much like usual. It is difficult to explain, but it is exhausting to, over a two and a half hour period, keep oneself vaguely mentally prepared, yet relaxed enough to theoretically play basketball. Now, don’t get me wrong—it is not nearly as taxing as, say, playing 38 minutes and huffing and puffing up and down the court. There is, however, a little more to it than would first appear. Of course, as my dad would say, it still beats the hell out of digging ditches, so I won’t complain.
Click to expand...

Contrast that with my current situation. I play for (I use the term loosely; play for/cheer for—same thing) arguably the best basketball team in the world. My responsibilities include: 1. Showing up for buses, practices, games, etc. on time. 2. Refraining from causing undue stress to anyone by misbehaving on road trips or wading into the stands to attack fans. 3. Practicing hard when given the opportunity. 4. Entering games when my team is up by an insurmountable margin and attempting to break the shots-per-minute record. It is not a difficult job, really, and I can find very little to complain about, especially tonight.

We beat the Hawks tonight and now have our 50th win under our belt. Not bad. I would like to say the mark was set on a game filled with poetic basketball and a high level of play. But if I did, I would be lying, and would be betraying the very little credibility I do have. Saying the Hawks are a bad basketball team is like saying that living in Beirut would be exciting—true, but not really the whole story. The Hawks are really, really bad. Such a collection of mismatched players has rarely been foisted upon the NBA in recent years, methinks. It is almost as if someone picked the group completely at random. There were balls being bounced off teammates’ faces, passes thrown to no one in particular and, in general, very little coherent basketball at all. At one point, the Hawks actually entered an airball as their shot of choice on three straight possessions.

Ok I got a Yao Ming question. Was Yao always just Yao? I mean when he played in China did they call him Ming and when he came here some PR guy made him Yao like Ichiro.. I know Ichiro was always Ichiro because there were like 3 other Suzukis on his team. Ming is pretty common so I wondered if it was the same story or if something else happened...
