The NBA (basketball) Thread (its faaaaantastic)

pretty much sums up the season. from espn.com

Brian (SF, CA): John, with Sasha Pavlovic back isn't it time the Cavs demoted Larry Hughes from the starting lineup? He looks even worse in the first few games than the past couple years, which is saying something.

John Hollinger: I am so flabbergasted by what's happened to Hughes. Even in the worst-case scenario I didn't imagine he could be this bad. Somehow his penetration ability is just gone, and he's become an erratic mid-range jump shooter .... that said, he's still probably better than Sasha.

What would be funny is if for just one week even, they only let white people in the NBA play. They should do that. Alls you would see is passing. Maybe John Stockton would come out of retirement.

i dont really have a favorite nba team. i do have a lot of teams i dont like though


but i must admit. ill probably route for the 76ers. many of my friends are sixers fans since im from Pa. but they should have a decent team this year

[sameol]

Allen Iverson is one of the best ever.

Great night for the raptors, they could have finished with 30 or 40 points more LOL.  Nice production from Delfino with 16, Bosh 14 and Moon 12. Poor Chicago but they played like shit tonite, except for Nocioni with 20.

[goldpony]

so when will the celts lose? im guessing not anytime soon considering that they only play 1 team with a record over .500 before christmas

as anyone else seen the espn/chris bosh commercial yet?  haha ...dont insult grandma cora

[Deftones-88-05-Deftones]

LOL I havent seen that commercial !
The Celtics r strong now but lets see if they keep it that way 'til the end of the season.
Spurs @ Mavs Today a really great match. Of course Go Spurs !!!!
Chicago and Phoenix will be another great match too.

[goldpony]

[goldpony]
