Even though I figured Piston and Sixers would be out of the playoffs, both have faltered horribly. It definitely has to be the Wizards though, I hate their team the way it is structured, but I believed they had the talent to win at least 37-42 games and sneak into the playoffs after last year's horrible year. It is definitely time to rip that team apart now. They really dropped the ball on that #5 pick deal though, threw that pick away and got nothing of real value in return, hopefully they actually use their pick this year -_-

How are we, or 'they', using it as an excuse? What was Mo Williams before Cleveland? Oh ya, he was averaging the same numbers as now, on better %'s, on a horrible team as the 2nd option. He is a nice player, but he is not a 2nd option team on a team that doesn't have LeBron James on it.

Because LeBron took a step in higher in his dominance (if you can believe that was even possible). LeBron was absolutely a man possessed last year, just like this year. That team was winning 60 games with or without Mo Williams. Where was Mo in the playoffs? Not trying to hate, I am just showing you a prime example of how Mo is an average player, and when people were expecting him to play like a 2nd option in the playoffs, he was horrible.

Lol Durant is doing good, and should definitely get some consideration, but LeBron is easily the MVP. Let's not kid ourselves, Durant has some solid support right now, but LeBron has mediocre support at best and their team is the BEST in the entire NBA right now. The amount of stock put into 'best player on the best team', combined with the fact LeBron's numbers are so gaudy overall, he is the easy selection for MVP right now, and will be for the next half a decade at least. If you are calling Durant the 'easy MVP', then Bosh should be the 'easy MVP' as well because his team's record is almost the same and he is dominating almost as much as KD is. (This is just an example that I can relate to being a Raptors fan, can't think of any else, just making a point). LeBron is first with a huge dropoff with Kobe/Dirk behind him. If Thunder pull their record up a bit okay, but a guy on a team without 50 wins is not getting considered for MVP ever. Durant this year is just doing what LeBron and Wade have been doing the past 7 years, making mediocre teams good, Wade/LBJ didn't win MVP in those seasons and Durant won't now even though the situation is almost identical. You won't win MVP unless your team is top 3 in the league or your numbers are absolutely insane, and neither of those things apply to KD.

IS CORMIER EVEN GOING TO THE NHL? WTF? I cannot believe Kovi was traded for this trash.

Jagr was still a first line capable player, or 2nd line at worst. He was capable of being a contributor but left for the money, hopefully Ilya can stay. Can't believe he demanded the Thrashers to make him the highest paid player in the NHL, and when they offered the deal he turned it down.

I heard Ilya is going to play overseas after this season or something? Idk.... he is a talented as hell player, would be a shame to see him leave to Europe like Jagr did. I guess the guy just wants to play in an actual hockey market, he turned down 12 years and over 100 million, that is pretty crazy and pretty much shows he can get the money wherever he wants lol.

I just picked up the first season of this show to watch on DVD. Got it for 19.99 at the store so I said w/e and picked it up. I'm sitting there paying close [expletive] attention to everything going on because I don't wanna get [expletive]ed over or confused like everyone is saying. Show just seems really weird to me, hoping I enjoy it more as I go on, it is okay but there have been a lot of 'wtf?' moments for me so far, in the first season.

So far we are 4-1. Our differential over the first half of this stretch is +8.5 in the 4 wins, which is a really solid number IMO. In this 10 game stretch, if you wanted to call any part of it difficult, it was the first half, now we only have one more back to back against trash teams. Our rest between games is 3 days off, 2 days off, 6 days off (ASW), 1 day off and no days off (back to back). So we are getting lots of rest in between these games against crappy teams. If we could go 4-1 in this stretch that would be great, that would allow us to lose to a really solid Grizz team, I would love to beat them though, payback for that choke job earlier in the season. So far so good though, 7-3 is still my hope, but 8-2 wouldn't be half bad either .

How is Jennings in this? I guess since CP3 got hurt, though LeBron, Wade or someone else should easily be in. I think Nash or Rose will win, I don't remember who won last year but Rose had a pretty kick-[expletive] dunk, IIRC. Should be decent.

I was just making a point. Mo Williams is not an NBA all-star like people want him to be. He is a sorry excuse for a 2nd option beside LeBron, this team is dominant with or without him. Way too many people said he was the reason the Cavs were so dominant last year, which is wrong. Delonte West is pretty much just as useful on the Cavaliers as Mo Williams is. EDIT: Of course you are better of with him than without him, I just get annoyed when people act as if he is something special when he basically a solid starter and that is it.

Lol if this rookie gets in before Morrow does.

He will definitely get a max, or close to it, for 6 years from the Knicks if he wants it. I am almost certain Amare will be in a Knicks uniform in 2011, dude is probably trynna create a buzz for himself still You hardly see Wade or LeBron, or even Bosh himself talking about it, but Amare is commenting on his contractual status every other day. Dude should just shut up and play the type of basketball he did 2 seasons ago.

I doubt we are getting Iggy or Monta, but either of them would be ideal for pretty obvious reasons. Outside of that probably Kevin Martin, just because he would be a good scorer on the wing to complement Bosh, and is probably the best scorer that we could add to this team. Sure he is bad on D, but adding a decent defender on the wing isn't going to turn our team D around. Martin is probably as good as Demar on D anyways, if not better. I just question whether or not Howard and Butler are done, both guys are having pretty bad years and are both pushing 30 now.

You are crazy if you tihnk the Wizards are going to pass up the golden chance to dump a salary like Jamison just because it is the Cavaliers. The only thing I would be worried about from a Cavaliers perspective, is the potential situation of the Wizards not waiving or buying Z out for the Cavaliers to re-sign. Sure their history probably makes negotiations more difficult, but if the Cavs are offering what they want, they will surely pull the trigger.

Nice to hear, really would like anything at the 2 right now beside Demar, would prefer him coming off the bench and Wright/Marco/Sonny playing more sparingly.

I think ever since our team started playing much better everyone is beginning to realize him signing here long-term is a legitimate possibility. Thus we would not be so inclined to move him.

Quoted for truth.

Eh, I don't see why they are reluctant to move JJ. He seems okay, but I doubt he is anything more than a fringe starter, even so. I would do anything I would to appease the King right now. I am not sure Jamison is exactly what they need, but he would be the best 2nd option LeBron has ever had offensively, and I doubt there is really much better on the market right now.

I agree with him, Kobe shot 50% only 3 times last month in 17 total games, and like 41% for the month. I don't know about Gasol's comment;'now we can focus on winning games again' since they are 4-1 in their last 5. I think Gasol is right though, he should be a focal point offensively right now, at least until Kobe gets out of this shooting slump or his hand starts to feel better, whatever it is. And you guys call him soft, well maybe he wouldn't play so soft if he wasn't so frustrated. It is a lot easier to get your big men to play defense and work hard down low when they are getting the touches they want, keep your big man happy and he will probably keep you happy. Admittedly I do not watch the Lakers, but his rebounding is up pretty considerably so far this year and his shot blocking is up 50% as well, I know stats are not the end all be all of a player performance obviously, but is he really playing softer than he was during your championship run? EDIT: Overall I think this has to do more with Kobe just launching shots right now and shooting at a pretty low % compared to usual. If Kobe was shooting his usual 47-50 percent a game I highly doubt Gasol would be saying [expletive].

This comes as a surprise to me, I always figured the Celtics would have one of the best locker rooms in the league. I mean who is gonna step out of line with Pierce, KG and Sheed looking over your shoulder?

It is not a 2 man race, LeBron is the MVP without a doubt.

Hopefully Wright can continue to hit those spot up 3's in the corner, lot's of jumpers again I expect from bhoth teams <_<. Hopefully we can win, this is a game we should win but I just have a bad feeling in my gut.

Hawks will make it out of the East.
