ROY will definitely win R.O.Y this year, without a doubt. Watch out for the trail blazers in a few years

If you're a starter for 3rd worst team in the West and not getting numbers up, you suck.

If you're coming off the bench for an above .500 team and putting up numbers like Bargnani is a bit harder.

*shrug*

Blazers had 21 wins last year. Currently they have 22 already. Roy obviously was a big contributor to that as he's the go to guy many nights when Randolph isn't. To say that 50 games into his career is because of his talent. If you watched the Blazers and not stuck in the personal myopia of the Raptors, you'd see it's NO CONTEST. Again, most sportswriters who follow the league on a daily basis and see countless games agree with this assumption. Roy's numbers are substantially better than Bargnani's.

By the way, generally since the worst teams get the highest picks they pretty much get the best players from the draft....Raptors record vs. the Blazers is a moot point. It's not a huge disparity, only 5 1/2 games. Oh yeah, Raptors play in the HORRIBLE Least conference.

haha, thats very true. the spurs are very exciting when they play the Suns.

I'm not emo yet, I believe the Spurs are a playoff team and will be tough. I mean, nobody thought the Heat were going to win anything last year, and we know Dallas might chocke again. Its not like they are dominant in the playoffs, even though they look great this year. We will see.

No contest?

Bargnani comes off the bench and drops 22 in win against the Bulls last night.

Celtics BLOW OUT the Bucks by 20...






oh yeah and that 18 Game Losing streak is over...

Oh yeah Paul Pierce is back with 32 points and 5 threes. Welcome back superstar to my fantasy team. I'm sure the Celtics fans including Bill Simmons are gripping now that they might slip from the worst record. No Kevin Durant or Oden for you!

How so? 2004 world series champions. 3 super bowl rings in the last 5 years. Boston Celtics 3 times champions in the 80's. Celtics have been bad for awhile but geeze they were great in the 80's. Boston fans have been spoiled in my opinion. Life all balances though when you think about their accents....

ok, you're a ****...

I, along with everyone I know... enjoyed the HELL out of their losing streak, we just didn't want it to go to 23... or more... I'm just glad they ended it tonite, because we all know they would have made it to 23 if they didn't win tonite... now its time to start a nice 7-8 game losing streak, end that, then start another 5+ game losing streak till the season ends.... the cycle... so they end up with no more than 25 wins.....

and there is no way we'll get the #1 pick, Celtics have the worst luck in the lottery... #2 or #3 ftw....

i am officially on the seattle sonics bandwagon. they have won 3 out of their last 4 games, looking strong with allend and lewis back, and i like their starting 5 (collison, lewis, wilcox, allen, ridnour). this team is going to make some noise the second half of the season.

choo! choo! seattle supersonic bandwagon chugging along.

Tell Earl Watson to stop shooting the basketball so he can get back into the starting lineup. He's A LOT better at D than Ridnour, but he takes the stupidest shots and has the biggest mouth.

Collison was a pleasant surprise.

I'm on the Hornets bandwagon. They have really been on lately. Chandler is a rebounding machine, and with Paul back they are looking better every day.

The question is whether Chandler will stay consistent.

The dude's got so much talent but his heart isn't always in playing the game.

Paul is a machine though. Love his game

i am a spurs(zzz) and hornets fan btw, since i lived in new orleans, and grew up watching louisiana sports (yes it was crappy. =( ).

every season, i pick a team to bandwagon on, and this year is the sonics. last year, i don't know if i said it, but i was on the wizards bandwagon, because the butler-jamison-arenas trio was awesome.

i was on the amare stoudemire bandwagon back in the 2002-03 season. when i saw him play on espn, i had the face on. seeing him jump over guys and rebounding was awesome. he still amazes me from time to time, but there are better guys out there with the same kind of skills as amare, but better basketball IQ.

when acie law iv enters the NBA, i will officially announce i am on the acie law bandwagon.

do i know to notice talent or what ? I picked Pops Mensah-Bonsu as the last pick of the TA Fantasy Basketball League Draft earlier this year. Pops was just named MVP of the all-star game this year! ...... well for the NBDL all-star game. i can sense talent when i see it, but i will not guarantee which league he is going to explode in.

Yay, I'm not the only Spurzzz fan here


high 5 butters!


oh yeah, If pippen does return, I want him on the Spurzzz, and next thing you know is that our age average in the roster is 35 years old

im sorry we let u down sir

West > East

all i have to say is that the Hawks have to tally up some more wins to go below the 3 spot in the 2007 draft. If not, it looks like they won't have a draft pick this year, because they just traded their 2nd round pick to the Mavs for Anthony Johnson.
For some who don't know, Atlanta gave away their 2007 draft choice to Phoenix for Joe Johnson, and Phoenix gets the pick if Atlanta falls in the 1st 3 draft picks.

yea jeez, the hawks coulda had chris paul, deron, marcus williams and all they got to show for it is anthony johnson

anywho the deals for sacramento that i thought made total sense were bibby to cleveland, abdur rahim to chicago, didnt happen. its good that we didnt deal them for ANYTHING (see chris webber for kenny thomas *barf*) but hooray for mediocrity!!

story here

a sad day indeed. boston celtic great dennis johnson passes away. we all should remember him from the infamous play in Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals. Bird steals the inbounds pass, and passes it to Johnson for the driving layup to win the game.

hooray for youtube!


-the play-


-the whole game with 1 minute left-

Blazers traded one scrub, Juan Dixon (a supposed shooter with a lifetime 41% FG percentage) for another scrub Fred Jones (although an University of Oregon grad and was going to school during my time there so he always has a special place to me).

I like it just for the oregon connection. Otherwise, it's meaningless trade. Another disappointing trade deadline but it always is more talk than show.

hmmm pat riley hasnt been on a 2nd sabbatical yet

Eh. It's a good trade for the Raps IMO.

Dumping some salary for a guy who was doing nothing for the raps (Jones was to make 3 mil per yr over next 3 yrs) for more depth for bench in a shooter in Dixon.

Hopefully Jones will revitalize his career in Portland b/c he's got too much talent
