The East is Still Bad

Just because Boston and Cleveland are great people are talking about how the East is now better than the West.

I thinks not.

Number of teams above .500
East - 6
West - 9

Number of teams above .600
East - 3
West - 8

Team that would be #8 seed in the playoffs if they started today:
East - Milwaukee 28-33 (.459)
West - Dallas 35-23 (.603)

That one to me is the most telling. Dallas is so much better than Milwaukee. Also, the West has the team with the best record (Lakers).

The only counterpoint I have is that the West also has four teams with less than 20 wins and the East only has one. So you could argue that the West teams just beat up on those four crappy teams. Except that West plays East a lot, unlike Baseball or some other sports.

Rockets own Lebron

So much so that he faked an injury so he could stop the pain.

21 points on 21 shots. One rebound. Zero assists. That's what you have to do to beat the Cavs.

Doesn't sound that hard right? Well, it is if you don't have the likes of Shane and Ron.

Oh, and don't forget Yao's 13-15 shooting.

why are they so pissed?

is it because they are crappy coaches?

porter did what everyone was thinking was impossible-make the suns even worse at D. and he did it with the quickness too. does this mean that phx straight REFUSES to play D? i never heard of that, but i don't see another explanation.

and this other guy.. tom? what's your take here? i know the wound is still fresh, but did you (or anyone) catch that CLE-DET game the other day? SOMEbody needs to get shit-canned for that one. maybe the whole dang team. the score (cle wins by 20) is misleading... it was a supreme ass-stomping in every sense of the phrase. the only reason they only lost by 20 (yea, only!)is because CLE decided to let hickson and that other young guy run the 2nd half and DET was able to make up some ground (cle was up something like 67-34!). apparently they've lost a bunch in a row, but that one was really something. i mean, it was a coach-canning loss. seriously. if i was michael curry, i'd be working on my resume right now, and trying not to mention Detroit...

Rondo=chopped liver?

If i had Rondo, i would laugh at the idea of bringing in this guy. is he gonna be a million$ backup?

do you guys like this move? seems like the only dumb move they've made since trading for KG:)

but seriously, richard? do you (or anyone else besides shasher and tom) read this silly thread anymore? i'd like some input from a Cs fan. I've been watching them a lot this year and this just seems wrong.

Denver Sucks

Man, I was watching Denver-Celtics last night, and my word Denver sucks. Not only that, but their players have terrible attitudes.

Players on there that I hate:

Kenyon Martin
Carmelo Anthony
Birdman

Kenyon actually shoved Ray Allen into the bleachers. Of course, this was after the refs called 5 straight charges on the nuggets.

Anyways, their defense is terrible, and their offense consists of giving kenyon martin the ball and him handing it off to melo while setting a pick. Swear to god, thats all they did all night.

If they get out of the first round, i'll bite the head off of a snake.

D howard, big night

In overtime win against bobcats here is Howards line.

45 points (16-23)
19 rebounds
8 offensive rebounds
8 blocks

That is like Wilt stat line, da-dang.

durant, again

I predicted he would have 34 points in the rookie-sophomore(two threads ago). But truthfully, i had 40 at first and deleted it cause i figured i would just look overzealous. Plus, i remembered the games were shorter and that he would prob have cut minutes so others could play more. Anyway, he had 46. He played like 30 minutes or something, lol. Seriously, and i been saying this before. His career is blowing up crazy.

He seems to really have the complete game.. And his J looks so pretty (way better than lebron's :D). And i'm pretty baffled and how agile he is for 6'10" or 6'9".

predictions

ok tom and shasher, with this new bynum development, what's it gonna be? i've already decided who i think it will be, but i'm predicting YOUR picks first.

tom-
pistons over lakers

shasher-
rockets over cavs



well?
