NBA Basketball 2009-10 Season

Kobe should just take the rest of the year off. We're better without him

careful what you wish for.

The Celtics got outplayed in the second half for the umpteenth time this year. Ray Allen was out, but so was Chris Paul. They shoot free throws like a team of Greg Kites. I remember Danny Ainge once saying that one of the most amazing things he ever saw in a basketball game was when Greg Kite took two free throws, and one was an airball short and the other hit half way up the backboard. He said he just couldn't see how a professional athlete throwing a basketball that distance could have about six feet of difference between his two attempts.

Kevin Garnett has not had a good game since he returned.

This Boston team just does not look right. This is not the team who came flying out of the gates to start the year. As the season progresses, they look even more tired and beaten down. Perhaps age is finally catching up to them during this long, grind-it-out NBA season?

On another note, the Chris Bosh/ Hedu Turkaglu/ Andrea Bargnani Toronto Raptors are quietly sneaking up on them in the Atlantic. They are presently 4 back from the first place Celtics!

The ULTIMATE Jekyll/Hyde team goes to: The Miami Heat. They had stunk it up for 8 games. THEN, they beat the Rockets by 33 IN HOUSTON and swarm the Hawks IN ATLANTA by 20.

And the rumors of the HEAT up to SOMETHING are getting heavier and heavier. This morning, it was reported on local WSVN 7, that the HEAT sent their 2 senior scouts to follow the Raptors for about 4 games last week after coming back from scouting the SUNS for 5 games.

.....YEP, Reilly is up to something....expect a major trade very soon from the HEAT.

I bet the Celtics will be in on a few of those trades. No way they are comfortable with the way they are now with just under 2 months remaining in the season. Look for them to shake things up too.

Thursday Night Basketball on TNT: Orlando @ Cleveland- 8pm

Final game for the Cavs before the All-Star Break. Looking to run their win streak to 13. Tough task though as we play Orlando.

Then, off for 6 days, only to play Denver, Charlotte, Orlando, New Orleans, Boston and Toronto!

Rest up boys. After the break, it's back to business!

There is more than 2 months left isn't there?

8.5 weeks remaining after the All-Star break. The last day of the regular season is April 14th.

I think Lebron James just won the MVP award last night. There is no way Cleveland goes into Utah and beats a habanero hot Utah Jazz team, on their home court, without Lebron.

But the Lakers did it last night without Kobe.

Good point. Another testament to how valuable he is to this team is that we have remained undefeated with two of our starters being sidelined with injury (Mo Williams and Delonte West). Some, even consider those two to be the 2nd and 3rd best on our team!

I'm not so sure the Lakers would be able to go on a 12 game win streak if they were without Gasol and Odom.

Last Thursday on TNT, Charles Barkley said that if LeBron had a Pao Gasol caliber player on his team, that team might go 82-0!

Of course the other side of the coin is that the Lakers are a more complete team than Cleveland. Andrew Bynum didn't play last night either, and the Lakers STILL won.

Crazy.

If The Nets Lose And No One's Around To See It, Does It Still Count In The Standings?

When will the Nets win again? What will it take?

They had their best player back in the lineup Wednesday night, as Devin Harris returned from a two-game absence because of a sprained left shoulder. They had the visiting Milwaukee Bucks, playing on the second night of a back-to-back on the eve of the All-Star break.

And they got off to a fast start, scoring 10 of the game’s first 12 points.

And they lost again. (97-77, at the Izod Center)

The good news is that only 1,016 hardy fans witnessed the shellacking in person.

It should be mentioned there was a major blizzard in New Jersey yesterday that brought the entire state to a standstill. Those 1,016 fans who drove in that last night were nuts.

careful what you wish for.

i wasn't being serious. but the lakers without kobe would still be a top team in the west.

 

[Ramy]

careful what you wish for.

Kobe isn't going anywhere. No other team can pay him what he would want.

Newsflash: LeBron just hugged all 5 of the starting Orlando Magic. This sould appease his critics for the time being.

It's Never Been Easier to Become Coach of the Nets | NBC New York

Would any of you guys be interested in this?

I sometimes hear fans talk about how they could do a better job coaching.

Well, this puts a twist on that.

 

[salsadancer7]
