2009 NBA Playoffs

[salsadancer7]

The Heat have 83 points through three quarters, after scoring only 63 the whole game in game 1!

Heat 83, Hawks 72................end of 3rd

Heat win 108-92! NOW you see why you could never make a big deal about ONE game. Now, the game 1 ass whippin' the Heat took means NOTHING and the heat steal a game. The could have easily blown out the Hawks, but the refs were absolutely terrible. And they FINALLY let Daquan Cook play...and he was 'only' 7-12 for 20 points!! And the MVP had 33- 7- 7.

If the Heat expect to win the series, they HAD to "steal" a game in Atlanta. Simply because they play 4 of the 7 games in Atlanta.

And what do you mean "MVP"? MVP of your team? I though the league MVP debate was settled a long time ago?

PS, nice fall away 3-pointer off the glass by D-Wade last night. Very nice shot. :up

As long as there is a healthy Wade, they really didn't need to steal a game. Winning the 1st 2 games at home only means you defended homecourt. Atlanta, could not do that and that mean that Miami now has homecourt.

Speaking of cap space...I finally found a site that was up-to-date on cap space for the ever talked about 2010 season.

Here is the top 5 teams with the most cap space:


1. Pistons 47.6 (M)
2. Heat 46
3. Knicks 40.5
4. Hawks 39.2
5. Raptors 38.4


Which NBA teams project to have the most cap space over the next two years?

That's $12M higher than any number I have seen.

Paul, I'm not sure where Salsa got his numbers from, but these seem to change daily depending on who you talk to.

I was under the impression that we only have 3 guys signed through 2010. (Mo Williams and the 2 rookies we drafted last year). The Cavs will be right there in being able to do whatever they want that year too.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I think Salsa's list is under the impression that Rip Hamilton will be off the cap after 2010, and I don't belive that to be true, since he just signed an extension at the beginning of this season, that keeps him under contract through at least 2011 or 2012.

Boyz, the link is there....check it yourself. They also have a link where they show WHO is signed for the next few years based on their current contract.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

That's where I looked, and I believe they are in error, as I stated above.

That's not that credible of a site. Didn't yo mama tell you not to trust everything you read on the Intranets?

HOW is it not credible when they are getting the information from the teams direct? All of the contract signed are of public record....

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Second site confirms that the first is in error.

 

[HD MM]

Second site confirms that the first is in error.

My 3rd site confirms multiple errors.

 

[salsadancer7]

My 3rd site confirms multiple errors.

And your 3rd site is?

 

[salsadancer7]

Second site confirms that the first is in error.

Where? Please point this out to me.....

 

[Paul Wozniak]

The first report has Hamilton as unsigned for 2010 (?). I said he's signed through at least 2011. The second report confirms this.

 

[HD MM]

And your 3rd site is?

I read it in the paper a few months ago.

 

[salsadancer7]

I read it in the paper a few months ago.

Wait....I post a site that is getting directly from the teams....and you say you "read it in the paper a few months ago"?

OK....LOL!

That site assumes that the NBA Salary Cap will remain at the same level over the next two years, most other NBA watchers expect the cap to go down over the next two season...possibly by as much as $4 million. The NBA and Players Union are already in discussions over the CBA for this exact reason, plus if the cap goes down the luxury tax kicks in at lower levels too....and few teams can afford paying it.
