I loved it. I was very happy with nicki. But you never know with her. I would've been ok with them leaving alby on the side of the road. But that jerk will prob be back next season. I was shocked about them being "outed" already... & I can't wait till next season.

It's a possibility.  If you look at the numbers from past seasons.  He won the All-Star Challenge and the Cup in the same season 3 times.  So I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that he wins Saturday night and better his chances at winning the cup.  I'm a superstitious person.  LOL

I definitely think Steve Nash deserved it this year. It was stupid that the LA fans was chanting MVP for Kobe Bryant. He's not the greatest player in the league, because Steve Nash is one of the few guards that truly make everyone around him better (the other guys are probably Kidd and James). But Nash also has the record and determination as well as the lack of height and atheleticism to show for it.

It was a very good move to trade Artest. Management and the team was frustrated with him. It was said that players were also weary because they did not know if they would go in a trade with him. So getting rid of Artest and no one else and bringing in Peja will improve the team simply by having his antics gone from the organization. Artest is an all-star, but he is the Terrell Owens of the NBA.

I think KG could go to one of three places. The Bobcats, who are in dire need of a leader and a big man; the Cavs, who, with Lebron, would be an automatic contender and team to beat, and don't rule out the Spurs--who are in the market for a center/forward who can provide! KG's good friends with Tim, and the organization is top notch. If S.A ever DID get KG..??? Heaven help the other teams..! STARTING LINEUP: Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen. One word: CRAP. LoL!

Its not easy playing at that level night after night against the best talent in the world 100 plus games including preseason. And he is coming off of playing the worlds this summer. So he is due for a Lil slump here and there. But Gil is a gym rat he will pull out of it. and be back to killing defenses in time for the all star game

Could not agree with you more. I was in favor of the dress code, but the ball! If it ain't broke don't fix it. Everyone in the NBA hates Stern and I for one would love to see his resignation. As you said, too much power. Let the players play. Follow Tagliabue's example, be about the players.

Ha the idiot with the first post who says all players who come overseas suck... Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Yao Ming, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Andres Nocioni, Boris Diaw, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, Dikembe Mutombo, Raja Bell...There's almost as many good International players as American players... Anyway, Andrea Bargnani could go either way. There wasn't much difference in talent between the best eight picks anyway. There wasn't an obvious choice. But Andrea to me doesn't seem like a great fit... they already have Chris Bosh.

I definitely agree with u.  Arenas is one of the most underrated players and dosen't get the cred and hype he should.  He is one of the greatest guards, and probably in the top 5-10 in the nba right now.  He's a great leader for his team and is a lethal scorer.  Arenas just isn't recognized by many and very underrated.  It's time we recognized this tremendous talent named Gilbert Arenas.

The public would have screamed.  "ARE YOU GUYS FREAKING IDIOTS.  YOUR TALLEST PLAYER IS NOW 6'9" AND YOU HAVE TWO STAR SHOOTING GUARDS.  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?"  Everyone likes to talk mess about the decision to pass on Jordan, but in reality if you were the Blazer GM at that time you would have made the same decision.  They needed a center, Clyde was their star shooting guard.  You would be an idiot not to pick Bowie...at that time of course.

Everyone does seem to be getting it all chopped off.  Nash, Nowitzki, Ginobili.  Somebody needs to tell Chris Kaman that it's his turn!

They passed on Michael Jordan back in the day for Sam Bowie.  They trade Jermaine O'Neil for Dale Davis and they they pass on Chris Paul.  All things I've gotten to expect from the management now. It is a shame the blazers are that bad since the owner (Paul Allen) is one of the richest people in the world.  But he is also one of the cheapest.  I think we need new ownership and I believe it is going to happen soon.  He claims that the team will lose 100 million in the next 3 years, so he's asking for state funding after giving ownership of the arena.  I hope he sells the team very soon.

Yo, Darko is amazing he will own everyone next season. Him and Howard will dominate. They couldn't do it this season cause the Magic screwed up in the beginning of the season but Milicic isn't a bad player at all. The only reason ppl think that is because he never started a game in Detroit, however he was behind Big Ben in the lineup and they chose Ben cause he has more experience in the league. The only reason Darko didn't start this year was because the coach for the Magic wanted to let T. Battie finish the season for his perfect attendance. But Batties getting old so Darko will start next year. And I don't think that the same thing wil happen to Bargnani because every team in the top ten (except for the Rockets) needs a big man.

Oh my god, you cannot believe that. \n\nBefore the playoff, I worried that he is not enough experience to handle playoff. However, after watching the Cav's match, my worry is nonsense. \n\nJames always played the game like god. In the playoffs, his stats even more well round and better than M. Jordan. \n\nDetroit was pushed to the corner. James, go to kill Priston in Game 6. \n\nI believe you.

Yes, right before the trade deadline for expiring contract of Penny Hardaway, who was waived right after getting traded to Orlando, as well as small forward Trevor Ariza.  Probably the most horrible move by the Knicks this season, but Isiah Thomas said he wanted him to play with Marbury in a 2006 version of Dumars-Thomas.  Problem is both need the ball, both shoot rather than pass, and both can't play defense.  Look for one of them to be traded this offseason, probably marbury in what may be a reunion with Kevin Garnett
