I'm STILL going with a Cleveland/LA matchup in the Finals.   Orlando's 3-point shooting is insanely good. They will NOT keep up the torid pace. Orlando is gonna give it all in Game 5, and will keep it

Hey, Indiana is in second place (15-13). On a small roll (5 out of 6). Most importantly, they're actually interesting to watch - run and gun! :dancing

If I were a Pacers fan I think I'd refrain from encouraging anything involving a gun. :unsure

:lol Bad choice of words on my part.

1. The Bulls look like idiots for not getting a Kobe trade done.

 

2. The Bulls look like idiots for not getting the Gasol trade done before that. Surely they could've offered a better deal than the Lakers--if they were willing to part with a draft picks.

 

I'd like to review the post I made about Tyrus Thomas before the season:

Well, we've had this conversation before. I think Tyrus will develop into a decent interior scorer. He's developed a little bit of a jump shot, a little bit of a baby hook, and I think he'll get fouled a lot and shoot 70%+ from the line this year.

 

Oh, also, last year his +/- per 48 was the highest on the team.

This was totally wrong--except the 70% free throw thing (I will pat myself on the back for predicting a 10 point increase in free throw shooting). He hasn't gotten enough playing time to develop more, though.

Wow. I'm not sure that's such a good deal for Dallas.

 

I could maybe see swapping the same sets of players plus one of the picks, but two first-round picks plus a lot of cash? That's a hell of a price to pay for a soon-to-be 35-year-old guard and a soon-to-be 30-year-old role-player.

 

If anything, I'd expect Dallas to want a pick or two from the Nets, not the other way around.

Well, Kidd makes $19 million or something, so that probably explains the cash.

But if it had to do with Kidd's salary, shouldn't that cash have gone from the Nets to the Mavs, not the other way around?

 

Maybe I just don't understand how these trades work. I guess I'd expect the team acquiring the highly-paid player to also receive some cash to offset that player's salary, or something like that.

im not going to read every one of these posts, but this is pretty recent news, nba european division within the decade, personally I love the idea, Id like to see 5 new franchises to make a 35 team league, with seven 5 team divisions, with 7 division winners making the playoffs with 5 wildcard teams, dump this east/west, ive never like the idea of seperate confernces, I think its outdated considering how many teams a pro sports league has now (with baseball being the exception, for oldtimey sakes)
