Lol! Two completely different scenerios Sabres! The Spurs incident happened when Coach Pop rested his players one all one night and essentially forefitted that game. In the Celtics case, they are all legitamitely injured.
It's official- the Orlando Magic only have one weakness- the Pistons.
Detroit can ONLY do posteason damage if they draw the Magic; contrast that with how Orlando has owned the 76ers, the team that is one game behind Detroit in the East standings.

Crazy game going on between the Bulls and Heat- double overtime, and D-Wade is at 42 points right now.
Yeah....D. Wade is NOT the leading MVP candidate.....
48 pts....12 assists....8 rebs......4 stl....4 blocks....AND a win with a buzzer beater. These stats are not flukes....he is doing it MORE often than not lately.
....and the scariest part is....he has now developed a 3pt shot!! Oh the playoffs are gonna be fun!

Man, Dwayne Wade is just amazing, the guy is getting better and better every year.
He looks better than ever, especially this year without injuries.
They are a good playoff team to beat in 5 games.
Also, the story of this year has been the Blazers, look all the young kids after the Wallace/Pippen era...this organization has just been resurrected, I am impressed with what I see.
The Kings will probably be in the top 5 picks when it comes to draft time next year.

That is what I have been saying all along. The BEST PLAYER in the world right now IS Lebron, then Kobe(truth be told, they are 1 and 1a) and finally Wade. But the MVP is Wade.
i agree!! the others get more attention because of the TEAM record
he has better numbers in many areas than the other 2 candidates. might not be by much but a higher number is still a better number. simple logic
i agree!! the others get more attention because of the TEAM record
Well, it's not that black and white....but I agree whole hardedly!! :up

You guys apparently don't read the NBA Thread regularly. If you did, I don't see how you logically overlook the season LeBron is having.
Sigh.....
BTW, I'm not discrediting what D-Wade is doing this year. He's an amazing talent. But there is another player on this planet that is having a historic season and he's evidently being overlooked.

Lebron is having an MVP season as well..BUT Cleveland is...as well as Lebron was...EXPECTED to have this kind of season. Wade was not...and neither were the Heat. IF the Heat were to get to the Eastern Conference Finals....Wade WILL win it hands down. Right now, to me, I think it is HIS to lose and that will depend how the TEAM does.
LeBron was "expected" to have one of the best modern day seasons in the NBA?!....... And he lived up to those expectations?!..... And now that is going to be overlooked?! Wow, what a burden it is to be the King!
Excuse me while I slam my head against the wall.
I just find it funny that the same argument AGAINST LeBron for MVP last year is the same argument FOR D-Wade this year. Double standard here?

no my friend,i'm not over looking lebron,trust me. I'm just saying that wade isn't getting enough recognition for his season especially because of the team record.James has a case for being the best player in the world no doubt.So does Kobe
Holy crap, what a game last night between the Heat and Bulls. I just happened to flip to NBA TV and watched the overtimes. I was stunned at both the resiliency of the Bulls and the... I don't even have a word... special-ness of Dwayne Wade. I flew out of my seat on the buzzer beater, woke up the girl friend, the two dogs and many of the neighbors! I love NBA TV...
I also wanted to throw in my two cents about the Marion/O'Neal trade. First of all, I think the best part about the trade was the Heat getting Jamario Moon for nothing! This kid can flat out finish. And with D-Wade drawing a double constantly, he just has to throw it in the general direction of the rim, and Moon will finish the play. These guys already have that play down to a science. Throw in Moon's length on defense and you have an amazingly productive guy.
As for who got the better deal, or whether anyone gained on this trade, I think the obvious thing to do is look at winning percentages before and after the trade. Granted, it is still early on, but these percentages do tell the story and by the end of the season, we should have a good answer:

As of March 9, 2009
