Mavericks about to be the only team in history that's going to be a two-year champion that didn't have to defend.

I'm unhappy with the players right now, but I don't think their latest move is about money. If it was really just about money, I'm not sure the players would be willing to lose a whole season of paychecks. At this point, I think its more about not getting "disrespected" by the owners and Stern. Just look at the Derozan tweet that DubA posted -- he's pissed about getting "talked down" to. Basically, for a lot of players, I think it comes down to not wanting to get pushed around about a bunch of rich, white CEO types. No more complicated than that. I personally think that's a little shortsighted and unrealistic view to take, but I do think that's what going on here. I don't think its about greed on the players' part.Originally Posted by kash55

^So you think the P.A. latest move was a positive one?
They didn't even put it to a vote to see if players wanted to play. The P.A. is a joke, the Owners are old greedy jerks. But, this shows that the players are 80% about making more money, 20% wanting to play basketball.

You can celebrate your fake back to back "championship year" claim, meanwhile we have actual back to backs.

Eh, they lost 2 other titles in that period as well. If Shaq would have stayed in shape better and not taken so much time off, maybe he and Kob could have gotten along better. But oh well, they both got what they wanted, Shaq got another ring in Miami, Kobe got a couple more after. Fair enough for both.Originally Posted by seasoned vet
......2002-2009? damn, that a big gap. sad to think of what could have been.

......fair enough? not for a real LA fan.
- as stated 2002-2009 is one hell of a gap considering what could have been, sad man.
