Kevin Durant > Greg Oden
But I agree Oden could be like the big fundamental. It's tough for me to gauge Oden with his still injured right hand.
Durant or Oden will prob both be future stars I just like Durant more. He shoots, rebounds, slashes and scores. And has the "magic" that you see in only the very best. Gonna be sweet to watch him in the tourney. Let's see if he can Carmelo-ize Texas.

| Originally posted by Member of X I hear ya it's all about team needs. I think Durant is gonna play SF at 6 ft 9. More of a Tracy McGrady with a better jumper. Blazers had the worst record last year and got the 4th pick, the worst they could do. So people shouldn't count it as getting the first pick already by finishing with the worst record. My Blazers with Durant would be serious contenders. Seriously, don't laugh! Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Sergio Rodriguez! All money draft picks. |

| Originally posted by King Ecnal yeah, but the Celtics would STILL fuck it up somehow. For example, if they got shitluck and had the worst record, and their ball comes out at #3 or something... and then they have the opportunity to trade... they WOULDN'T(even though they should) send... say Rondo and the #3 to/for the first pick... I can't WAIT to see how Danny Ainge fucks this one up... I'm putting my money on not getting 1st pick, then trading Jefferson and the pick... something dumb like that... yeah thats right, we thinking about the OFFSEASON already, thats what the Celtics have forced us to do... friggen A |
oden is nothing mindblowing, but durant is a fucking gangsta...that kid can ball

| Thomas slammed after saying contest about money Associated Press CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls fined forward Tyrus Thomas $10,000 on Tuesday, one day after the rookie said he only was interested in the money for the NBA's slam dunk contest. The first Bull since Scottie Pippen in 1990 to participate in the event, Thomas was quoted in Tuesday's editions of the Chicago Tribune as saying: "I'm just going to go out there, get my check and call it a day." When asked if being around some of the game's greats could be beneficial for a rookie, he responded, "I'm just into the free money. That's it. I'll just do whatever when I get out there." The winner of the Feb. 17 event in Las Vegas gets $35,000. The runner-up earns $22,500, with the third and fourth-place finishers getting $16,125. Joining Thomas are defending champion Nate Robinson of New York, Orlando All-Star Dwight Howard and Boston's Gerald Green. "This fine is an appropriate response to the remarks Tyrus made concerning his participation in the slam dunk contest," Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said in a statement. "It is a poor reflection on Tyrus individually and a poor reflection on the Bulls organization, and I am certainly disappointed. The league office has chosen Tyrus to participate in one of its All-Star events and that is an honor that should be accepted with humility. I spoke to Tyrus this morning and am confident he understands that he made a mistake with his words and that he also understands the importance of representing the Bulls and the NBA in a positive way." Thomas has appeared in 41 games, averaging 3.5 points and 2.7 rebounds. Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press |
Ron Artest Starves Dogs!

Placer seizes Artest dog
Authorities, saying the Great Dane was underfed, take the animal from the Kings player's home.
By Kim Minugh and Art Campos - Bee Staff Writers
Published 12:00 am PST Wednesday, February 7, 2007
Placer County animal services officers have seized a dog belonging to Sacramento Kings star Ron Artest on suspicion of failure to adequately feed the animal.
Animal Services officers issued a "pre-seizure" notice to Artest on Jan. 30, warning that they would take Socks, a black female Great Dane, into protective custody if the situation was not remedied, according to a county report obtained by The Bee.
On Monday, officers returned and seized Socks, citing a law that requires animal caretakers to "provide proper sustenance." According to the post-seizure report, Artest can request a hearing within 10 days of the notice date.
In an e-mail message sent to The Bee late Tuesday night, Artest said, "I'm glad to say all problems are solved now, and I'm looking forward to getting my dog back."
County spokeswoman Anita Yoder said the Great Dane is in the care of a local veterinarian. She declined to elaborate further except to say that officers are continuing to investigate.
The president of the homeowners association for Artest's gated neighborhood said Tuesday that animal services had been to the Artest residence prior to January.
Allan Frumkin, who heads the Sierra Ridge Estates Homeowners Association, also said residents have come to him with concerns about the welfare of dogs kept at Artest's home.
"That says two things: One, there's some nice people here," Frumkin said. "Two, those dogs weren't being properly cared for."
Artest said in his e-mail that when he left last week for a road trip, "my dog watcher was feeding both my dogs and my American bulldog dominated all the food."
When he got back, Artest said, "I realized Socks lost a lot of weight. So I immediately isolated Socks in a separate room in my garage to eat and gain some weight back."
The next day, he said, animal control officers took the dog.
"The other times my dogs were escaping the half-acre gated area I had for them, and the animal police would always bring them back," Artest said.
The basketball star and aspiring rap artist moved into his home in the Sierra Ridge Estates, an exclusive neighborhood of 18 homes in rural Loomis, in the spring of 2006.
Artest purchased the property last February for $1.85 million, according to property records. The 6,571-square-foot house includes five bedrooms, four fireplaces and a five-car garage, records show.
Artest told The Bee during a July interview that he loved his new 5-acre property. He also said he kept seven large dogs there, including a bull mastiff, a Great Dane and a pit bull.
In the summer of 2006 -- Frumkin said he can't remember which month -- the association president was driving by Artest's home and saw that Animal Services was there.
Frumkin said homeowners began coming to him with reports of perceived neglect of Artest's dogs prior to that Animal Services visit.
"They seemed starved for attention and starved for food," Frumkin said neighbors told him.
The allegations have so upset neighbors that a committee revising the association's rules decided to include a new stipulation that residents must properly care for their animals.
"These are really nice people that live out here," Frumkin said.
"We don't like to see this type of thing go on."
Association members are scheduled to vote on the new CC&Rs, including the animal care clause, on Sunday.
amazing finish. look at how high d12 grabs that
i have always been a d. howard fan when i saw him play as a rookie. this guy is special, and will get better as the years progress, and he improves his jump shot. when he starts becoming a threat on the perimeter and the post, there's no way of stopping him. this is why yao is such a force right now. he has pretty good perimeter play, but has really worked hard on his post play, and learning how to back his man down. now, i don't think there is any center that can 100% defend yao.
i like the future of nba big men right now with howard, amare, yao, okafor, al jefferson(yes i will mention him, because although boston looks like crap right now, jefferson has been a beast lately), and josh smith (another case of crappy team, beastly performances). i would mention ben wallace and chris kaman, but their times are up. they suck. end of story.
With the new Dirk v Wade beef going on...who would you rather start your team with...Dirk or Wade?
that's a tough question, but i think i would go for wade, because he does it on both sides of the court, and nowitzki sometimes has shady defensive skills.
Dirk? Please
Wade by a landslide
Wade is more flashy.
Actually, both play different positions. Why the comparison?
Both are terrific players in their position
I hope Wade still enjoys his Championship from last year because it will be the only one for a long time.
The Heat are too old and won't be a top team the upcoming seasons.
Dirk will still reach a lot of NBA Finals and maybe he wins some if the ref's aren't against his team like last year.
But the REAL NBA Finals are the Western Conference Championships. Last year Spurs vs Mavs was the real deal.
hey Kap. don't go emo, because the Spurs lost to the Heat today.
i was watching the game, and lo and behold, who i do i see in a heat uniform ? Eddie Jones! lol
so I asked my dad, who is an diehard NBA fan since the early 70s about the San Antonio Spurs:
me: "Do you think the Spurs are exciting to watch?"
my dad: "Yes, but only when they play the Phoenix Suns"

How about Arenas saying he's gonna drop 50 on the Blazers today and got a whopping 9 points. Haha dumb ass! Jarret Jack said it was like someone telling you that they were going to punch you in the face. I thought it was kind of funny to predict that even though I know Nate McMillan had nothing to do with the USA selection process. Amusing guy, I don't mind the boasting but I snicker at the 9 points.

Please! Brandon Roy will win R.O.Y. EASILY!
Check the stats my friend. Plus, Blazers have already won as many games as last year too with 30 games to play.
Roy >> Bargnani
ESPN a couple of weeks ago had all their columnists predict who'd win and I think 9/10 had Roy. So it's not just me.
according to reports, Riley is "supposedly" ok to return to coach after the all-star break.
i wish i had a job like this. come to work, say my "roster" is crappy, and make an excuse saying i need emergency surgery. then when my "roster" looks like it's coming together, i come back to work, and say i am ok and ready to go.
