Wtf Just Happened!

[weezer182]

diaw's turned into a fantasy stud.all because of nash

[somethingyellow]

all because of nashdamn right :D

[Caleb Cattivera]

it's not all because of nash, that's a stupid statement.

it's because he's getting playing time and he had better players playing ahead of him in atlanta, they just couldnt win. in games he started in atlanta he put up similar numbers.

[weezer182]

[Caleb Cattivera]

i didnt think you would take it seriously. obviously its not all because of nash but nash has done a lot to help him improve :)

haha yeah i didnt.

nash is amazing. i love him. but diaw's just a good player.

[somethingyellow]

haha yeah i didnt.

nash is amazing. i love him. but diaw's just a good player.when they traded joe johnson i was worried cuz i didnt know much about diaw, but now im really glad the suns have him

[splitsecond]

Diaw is the fucking man this year. God i cant wait til Amare is back. Phx is a sick sick team.

[somethingyellow]

Diaw is the fucking man this year. God i cant wait til Amare is back. Phx is a sick sick team.me too :)

[ThriftWhore]

Diaw is the fucking man this year. God i cant wait til Amare is back. Phx is a sick sick team.
that's what's so scary, they don't even have argueably their most talented player on their team right now, and nash has still lead them to first place.

[Caleb Cattivera]

they'll eventually have to face the spurs again...

and they'll eventually get their asses handed to them again. still a good team.

[itsjdiggity]

they'll eventually have to face the spurs again...

i thought you said that the Spurs won't even win the west?

[Caleb Cattivera]

i thought you said that the Spurs won't even win the west?

depends on when they face them...if the suns play spurs in the confernece finals...the spurs will kick their ass.

but i can see the spurs losing to the clippers or the mavericks.

[somethingyellow]

I cant see the clippers beating the spurs, maybe the mavs, but still doubt it. I think the spurs will win the west again, but with amare back, I think this years suns team is better then last and could give them a good series.

[splitsecond]

Bitch please. not this year.

In effect you are saying that the Clippers are better than the Suns. Way off.

[bigmike]

Suns/Pistons NBA finals.

[splitsecond]

Suns/Pistons NBA finals.

Id like to see it, but I am not predicting anything yet. A lot can still change, and injuries will undoubtedly happen.

[somethingyellow]

Suns/Pistons NBA finals.god would I love that

[itsjdiggity]

Suns/Pistons NBA finals.

that's what I wanna see this year aside from Sonics/Pistons

[weezer182]

id love to see the suns against anyone other then detroit in the east

[Ravenna]

id love to see the suns against anyone other then detroit in the east
not much chance of that happening. unless shaq and jason can stay healthy, i don't see detroit having much problems in the east side of the playoffs this year

[weezer182]

not much chance of that happening. unless shaq and jason can stay healthy, i don't see detroit having much problems in the east side of the playoffs this yeari still can hope

[Caleb Cattivera]

im not way off. the season series is tied 1-1.

from my sources in the leauge, they're saying amare wont come back. without amare the clippers are better than suns...and when maggette comes back, they can take the suns, esp if amare's not in.

but if amare does come back, the suns will be better. the clippers are taken too lightly. sam i am is a good leader for those kids.

[Caleb Cattivera]

as for detroit.

im not going to say anything yet. i think the east is open game. especially with flip saunders as the pistons head coach. he had 4 50 win teams in minnesota, and only once made the western conference finals. the pistons are the best team in the east...in the regular season...flips just not a playoff coach, and i dont know if they'll make the finals. he'll find a way to fuck it up.

[Caleb Cattivera]

i honestly think even this suns team without amare would beat the clippers

without amare it's 1 to 1...

and if the clippers and suns face in the playoffs...ill take the clippers in 6.

i think you're crediting too much of the wolves losses in the post season to flip. alot of people have said that kg chokes in the playoffs. and having sprewells dumb ass on that team didn't help much either.
i don't think the vets on detroit are going to let flip fuck over the playoffs for them.

[somethingyellow]

without amare it's 1 to 1...

and if the clippers and suns face in the playoffs...ill take the clippers in 6.its up in the air really. The deciding factor might come down to homecourt and the suns would have it as of now

[somethingyellow]

Caleb u know anything about the sprewell situation. If and when he is suppose to come back and for who?

[Ravenna]

im not caleb, but i heard that the nuggs were interested in him

[Caleb Cattivera]

clippers or spurs.

rumor made up by a newspaper that spread. no truth.

i think flip get's too much blame for the minnesota debacle.
besides, it's not like he'll be running the point or something. he's good enough to stand there and sub some kids in and out. the end. however, i hope they don't get caught up in trying to beat the bulls wins record, beacuse if they do that, they don't make the finals I don't think. I think they'll be too spent to make a playoff run.

[Ravenna]

clippers or spurs.
the spurs are looking at sprewell? they are already as deep as shit. when did you hear that they are interested in him?

alot of people are stupid too.

97 - KG's first playoff apperance 20 years old 17 ppg, 9 rpg, and 3 apg. googs and starbury had more ppg. they did lose to a very tough and experience rockets team that year though.

98 - KG averaged 16, 10, and 4...marbury was the one who underperformed. lost to a sonics team they shouldve beaten.

99 - KG has 22, 12, and 4, beaten by the spurs.

00 - KG has 19, 11, and 9...nearly a triple double in the post season. flip decides its smarter to play rasho over joe smith. rasho is a failure. lost to the blazers in another series they should've won.

01 - KG gets 21, 12, and 5 in a 3 to 1 loss to the spurs. flips starts anthony peeler over chauncey, chauncey plays 26 mins the entire series.

02 - KG goes nuts with 24, 19, and 5...wally and chauncey both average over 20 ppg.

03 - KG has 27, 16 and 5, my man troy hudson right behind with 24 ppg. once again, joe smith gets stuck on the bench while rasho gives them no chance down low whatsoever. good call flip.

04 - finally, enter 2004, the last year the wolves have been to the playoffs. kg has 24, 15, and 5. and sprewell's 'dumb ass' had 20, 4 and 4. sure sprewell said some dumb shit...but on the court in 04, and in the playoffs he was a damn good player.

flips knows how to use his assets in the regular season, but come playoff time, pistons fans will see why minny let him go.

as for kg choking in the playoffs. if career averages of 22, 13, and 5 per game is a choke artist, i want him on my team.

[Caleb Cattivera]

the spurs are looking at sprewell? they are already as deep as shit. when did you hear that they are interested in him?

last week.

[bigmike]

eh, i'll still take my chances with a 'bad' playoff coach and this pistons team.

[Caleb Cattivera]

yeah.
who do you have in the finals, or don't you make predictions like that/this early.

[radiofriendly]

...had a triple double tonight

most improved player?

[radiofriendly]

Im banking on my Mavericks. 9 straight opponents held under 100 points. won 13 out of 15. clutch fourth quater comeback wins. a now healthy 10-man rotation(blessing or a burden). the best/deepest bench in the NBA. a nearly unblemished record against all playoff teams from last year(18-3; 5-1 against conference finalists) there's some D in dallas. not the regular season team they used to be under nellie. they're playing out of their minds right now, and aren't even finished improving. mavericks have a great chance of winning th division and home court throughout(even though they're the 2nd best road team in the league).

they can stop the suns, and they can play hard against the spurs, and they've dismembered the Pistons(won't mean anything unless they can beat them again though) they're finally making contributors out of their five spots. Damp is producing off the bench, and Diop is one of the biggest surprises of the year. not to mention a clutch signing of Adrian Griffin, one of the most influential players on the team. as of now, im all over Mavs/Pistons in the finals.

mavericks are another team that just sucks in the playoffs. wont make it past the semis.

and the best bench in the leauge. no. top five yes. diop has been a surprise yes, and i love him for my fantasy team. but he cant score for shit, he's not scored more than 8 points in a game all season. dallas has two of the worst centers in the leauge in dampier and diop. damp has scored in double digits only four times this season. and has been on a steady declin since his big contract year in 03. you cant get anywhere in the west without a good big man down low. reason #1 why the mavericks wont make it past the semis.

[radiofriendly]

mavericks are another team that just sucks in the playoffs. wont make it past the semis.

how can you possibly compare this season's mavericks team and coach to Don Nelson's playoff runs, though. that man was a mad scientist, he never cared to play defense, only to innovate his offense. mavericks reaching the conference finals a couple years back was a godsent miracle. they have never been built for the playoffs like they have been this year. with less than half a season under his feet last year, they played a tough houston team, and found their weaknesses against an even better pheonix team. i really like their chances. especially at this accellerated rate they're growing defensively and in chemistry.

you can't question their presence though. benching damp has done wonders for the mavericks. they still must improve their five spot, but it's happening, slow and steady. Damp has had flashes of brilliance. and you see the results on this winning streak. no big points, but they're blocking shots and getting dirtier than they have.

who would you consider a better bench? hard to find a better reserve backcourt than Harris and Stackhouse(who seems to have found the fountain of youth). Armstrong is tough player. Griffin is nuisance to opponents offense. and they still have daniels and Van Horn(who is really cooking right now)

you heard it here first the mavericks wont make it past the semis, nor will they make the nba finals in the next 10 years. a cursed franchise, no matter what they do, they'll never be a dominant team in the playoffs.

if they didnt make it past the suns last yeah, they sure as hell wont do it this year. mavericks are a regular season team, not cut out for the playoffs.

i agree that dallas won't make it to the finals this year, but they should at least win their semis. i think avery johnson has a great handle on this team. they have one of the most powerful offenses, have a deep bench, and play decend d. the mavs have had their playoff struggles in the past, but they were also in the same conference that had the lakers, with the duo, and the spurs, who are always dominant. i think this is the year that the mavs could make a decent playoff run.

Golden State, Indiana, Memphis, LAC, Miami, etc. I can name more.

stack is streaky and alot of the time plays the minutes of a starter. devin harris is a tough player, but theres better and more experience backups than him. armstrong is no good anymore. may as well cut him, he serves no purpose. griffin's alright, but i think you're giving him more credit than he deserves. daniels is injury prone and i dont see how the mavericks think they can rely on him. im a kieth van horn fan...but he's injury prone too. he contributes every now and then, but he's about done.

i hated stackhouse here in detroit when he'd chuck shots up.



then we traded him for some guy named Richard Hamilton or something.

i pulled my hair out when they lost that 17 point lead in game 6. Never in the history of his career in Dallas was Steve Nash ever, EVER clutch, but suddenly he's in Phoenix and he was money. tough love...
