if i didn't like steve kerr so much, i would consider the matrix/shaq trade the worst move EVER (for PHX). but i really think he has a legitimate point, and i like steve kerr a lot. so there.
Mid-season highlights? I wish D-wade was 100%. Most my favorite plays usually involve him. Member last year when, at half court, some guy tried to cut him offt, and he dribbled through the guys legs, then immediately went into an alley-oop to Shaq.
Though i know Bron and Kobe do amazing things every game. Right now, i am thinking more of some good games, like the recent hornets-pheonix one.
Offhand, i did like marcus camby taking the ball all the way down in transition in traffic. He went right around a steal attempt with a sweet behind-the-back dribble, then, assisted with a behind the back pass. Pretty good stuff for a defensive specialist center.
MVP-too easily garnett, unless things go a different direction next half.
Coach-Portland's coach maybe? Is that Sam Vincent? I guess the other two i would go with at this point are whoever coahces Hornets (i guess i just kinda give the award to the teams that seem better than was expected of them. I don't really know much about their actual coaching). And then Doc, like jake said.
I love Dwight, but moving the goal is cheating. I going to just lay a hoop on the ground and show off my new sweet dunk. Next year, i am going to throw a hoop from an airplane, then, i am going to jump out after it, flipping and spinning, and stuff. Upon catching up to the rim, i'll deliver a dunk God told be about while i was atop a mountain in Nepal. The strong will rejoice and the weak will cry.
East 1. Detroit 2. Boston 3. Springfield Isotopes 4. Springfield Isotopes 5. Springfield Isotopes 6. Springfield Isotopes 7. Springfield Isotopes 8. Springfield Isotopes
West-Could be anything
The East is their worst ever this year. I get off topic here so i'm making another post on East.
Finals MVP: B-B-Billups. Bite Me!:) Last year i kept saying SA was going to win it. So i gotta say Detroit is this time.
I still say Utah in west for darkhorse, and well, anyteam in the east beside the TOP two would be a dark horse. How bout...Washington. The got some upside. Two allstars, and a third coming back.
isn't that kind of cheating, tom? picking teams is fun! the whole point is that you can't just say "could be anything" come on man.
on the other hand, i couldn't agree with you more about most of these things. i certainly agree that BOS and DET are the only 2 legitimate contenders outta the Least (love that one).
it's almost as if Chauncey was there that night that i was dogging him at the cabin and he got pissed. ever since then, he's been playing the best ball of his life! way to go chauncey!
Mid-season highlights: All the damn trades! WTF...I mean if this Kidd trade goes through, the Easy will be even worse and the West will be even better.
MVP- KG...I mean Jimi's stats show that the MVP comes from the team with the best record. And since Bos has no competition over there, there is no reason why they won't continue their winning ways.
COY - Byron Scott. NoH has really impressed me this year. I watch a lot of basketball, and wow, they are a sound team.

Tom, did you just look at the standings in the west and copy them? Have you been paying att to Houston's play of late? Hottest team in the league next to your Pistons.
And if yall think my Hou prediction is crazy, look at the standings. They are only 1.5 games out of 4th place.
Like I said, I think NoH are the most sound team in the league.
Lakers are looking freaking good since getting Pau. I'm with Pop, this trade should have been vetoed.
Spurs are good, but with the Parker injury they have been playing confused basketball. They should have held onto Beno. Damon S. hasn't helped them.
Pheonix is going to fall hard cause Shaq won't play more than 10 more games.
Dallas is a ? due to this Kidd trade. They could move way up.
Golden State is still impressive. They lose games they shouldn't, but when they are on, they are tough to beat.
Denver doesn't make the playoffs. There is just too much competition and they aren't that good.
I'd talk about the East, but as tom put it, they suck. I think the Pistons are better than the Celts, but they too are losing games they shouldn't.
1st round losers: GS Sa Dal Lal
2nd round losers: Hou Phx
3rd round losers: Uta
Finals: NoH over Detroit
Finals MVP: Paul
I really think Houston could beat NO, but I don't want to look like too much of a homer. They are 12-1 since getting Tracy back, and that loss was to Utah without Yao.
There was complaining that people didn't make predictions, so i did. I really don't have a lot to go off of. I mainly watch piston games. And they mainly play the east.
I had not heard that houston is the hottest team in NBA:D How nice.
I eventually told myself i gotta choose 2 of these three--DEN, HOU, GSW--for the West.
Even though Denver is an effed up team. Crazy amount of talent in starting five, absolutely crazy. But they have mental defects or something. I'll never understand. Either, way i had to say that that much talent will get to the playoffs.
GSW, well, they just seem like a team that has the passion when they need it. I feel like, if it is the end of the season, and they need to close out with x bunch of wins to make the playofffs, they could do it.
As for houston, forgive me, but they seem to fall short when all the pressure is on them. Of course, i hardly watch houston, and admit i really don't know them.
But like i said, i had to pick someone, and it was either pick teams for BS reasons or no reasons.
Like, another thing i did was make sure LAL was above PHX, cause i feel like LAL always owns PHX. And i think they will more so this year, if both teams have full healthy rosters. As though their opposition refects their regular season success. But i had to go off of something.
Take these rankings with a grain of salt.
BTW, my dallas ranking is based on the Kidd going there.
I don't see how Atlanta could make the playoffs--even in the east.
oh, random FYI,among Shaq's first 5games as a sun, if he comes back next game, he will play against Lakers, Boston, Detroit, and New Orleans. Trail by fire.
I'm going to go look at remaining schedules in the near future. I hadn't looked at NoH's. I do know that Houston's is easier than Denver and Golden State's.
I've said it before, schedule and injuries have a bigger inpact on record than anything. ANYTHING!
Yea, Tom, I would say Houston is probably a hard team to know right now. Hardest schedule in the league for the first 2 monthes. Then lost Tracy to injury for 17 games. Throw that on top of a new coach with an entirely different system that Van Gundy's.
However, they have pulled it together recently and have a better record in 08 than anyone except for the Jazz.

GO ISOTOPES!
Oh, i let him know what this fool jake was going on about at the cabin.
I guess i did kinda miss the point here. I'll try and put up some real seedings b4 allstar break ends.
BTW, Detroit has 3 all-stars. Booyah! And, of course, you know they still feel slighted.
