I've said it countless times, but that team is so much better without TMac.

Well, this is fun: "This is the fifth season Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming have played together in Houston, so you'd think by now that everyone would be comfortable with their roles. Apparently not. McGrady has been privately complaining to friends in recent days about Yao taking too many shots and not being tough enough. Like McGrady has never been accused of either."

And it begins...

You gotta be @#$%#@! kidding me




What a joke if that's true.

what?

wow. they abused that young man into thinking that??


steal for the Grizz.

-Wouldn't a O'Neal-Marion swap help both Toronto and Miami?
-Rockets needs to scrap whatever they can for McGrady at this point.

that matrix-jo deal would def benefit both teams

NY winning by 4 vs. NO

Danny Granger might hit for 40 again

 

[JD617]

Raptors with a TO down by 6 with 1.6 left

 

[sohi 23]

JD, aren't you worried about the minutes the Big 3 are logging?

I don't know, this Boston team just doesn't have the depth/bench that it had last year.
It's going to catch-up to them in the playoffs.

 

[JD617]

The Big 3's minutes aren't that far off from last year's but yeah, I'm defintely worried about the bench. The bench really got exposed duringthat little skid. Tony Allen just can't come close to replacing what Posey brings to the table. And the loss of PJ is just as big if not bigger. I like BigBaby and Leon but they're too undersized to play at the same time. Either KG or Perk has to be in the game at all times or else they get killed on theglass.

Speculation Increases After Diop "DNP"

Posted: 1/12/2009 6:04:00 AM

Diop arrived at Arco Arena to get in some extra work.

He didn't realize that would be his only time on the court Sunday evening. That Diop did not play fueled pre-game speculation that the Mavericks were considering a trade that would involve the 7-footer. Coach Rick Carlisle emphasized that it was strictly a coach's decision and nothing should be read into it.

The timing made it strange. Earlier, rumors swirled that the Mavs were talking with Charlotte about a Diop swap for point guard Raymond Felton. There would have to be other parts involved to make it work, and perhaps a third team.

By all accounts, any deal with Charlotte was on life-support Sunday night, if not completely dead, although it could always be rekindled. Diop said after the game that he had heard about it, but that rumors are part of the NBA life leading up to the Feb. 19 trade deadline.

It's the job of owner Mark Cuban and president Donnie Nelson to explore options. The Mavericks can be a solid, playoff team. But to make any real noise in the playoffs, they probably have to improve. To ignore contact by other teams would be a disservice to the fans.

Between now and the deadline, fans and players should heed one rule: don't believe everything you hear.

NBA 11/12/09 in review:


Mehmet Okur: 43 points and 9 boards. Stepping it up with Booze out, good for him.
Danny Granger with 30 points and 7 assists. He's been putting up CRAZY numbers in the past few weeks.
Travis Outlaw: 33 points and 7 boards
Paul Pierce: 39 points and 9 boards
David Lee: 24 points and 9 boards on 12/16 shooting

Rookies beastin:
Oden: 17 points and 13 boards.
Brooke Lopez: 31 points and 13 boards. He's been improving throughout the year, where's everyone who said he would be a bust?
Russel Westbrook: 18 points , 4 and 4. I'm telling y'all, he's in my top 3 for ROY
DRose: 13 points, 10 assists. He hasn't been shooting to well lately though.

Thoughts on tonight:
- In the West, we're going to have a tough race to get into the playoffs, but who's that 2nd team?
Is it NO? The Lakers have a pretty big lead on everyone right now, it's like the East where it's kind of clogged at the top.
- I'm not sold on Boston until they get some more help for their bench. Marybury? Idk, but they need something.
- OKC is becoming competitive...
- I really like this Nets team. Vince is playing some great basketball and Harris(when he plays) has looked outstanding. Combine that with Lopez(who I thinkcan be an 18 and 12 guy), they have a solid team.
- We had some good games tonight.

arent u a knicks fan and post in there?

 

[johnson1]

Danny Granger is a certified beast

He was killin' my Warriors luckily Mike Dunleavy Jr tried to take out his revenge on the Dubs and failed

 

[kiddin like jason]

Memphis really needs to coax Portland into trading Travis Outlaw for Greg Buckner, a draft pick and not playing Darius Miles.

Gasol/Arthur
Milicic/Warrick
Gay/Outlaw
Mayo/Francis?
Sessions/Lowry

Stop playing Quinton Ross. Never play Joe Alexander. Instantly a much better team.
