I love to root against Duke, but I love Coach K. He's a great coach.

[_astheruinfalls]

He is.

And so is yours. I forgot his name. I always do. But I do know who he is.

But Duke has the best coach and the best fans.

[BrandNew20]

He is.

And so is yours. I forgot his name. I always do. But I do know who he is.

But Duke has the best coach and the best fans.

Roy Williams.

Oh, and Duke definatly has great fans. thats why they are awesome to watch. its just that, I love UNC.

[_astheruinfalls]

Haha, yeah.

My old best friend loved UNC.

I always gave him shit when Duke owned them.

[im_random]

[atticus_4132]

i want the 90's chicago bulls team back...

[shrguy]

THE Ohio State University

GO Buckeyes!

[trustmeimokay]

Iu!

[SkaBum14]

i want the 90's chicago bulls team back...

Heck yeah, I was obsessed with basketball back then and they were my favorite team. The Bulls still are my favorite team, but I haven't followed them as much lately as I used to. I'm starting to get more into the Timberwolves now since moving to Minneapolis. But the Bulls are still always going to be my favorite team.

[brandnizzle32]

i luv to hate duke.. its great to have a team out there like duke who i can root against... Mike K is a great coach and the fans are cool...

Im not a Duke or UNC fan but that will be a fun game to watch.

[dayafterdayroks]

i hate the nba but i luv college.... UC bearcats

[Emopunkthrice]

Well for Professional I'd have to say the Phoenix Suns and for college I guess Kansas University

[LoyalSubject]

I only pay attention during the playoffs but I'll watch the occasional Nuggets game if they play against a good team.

[indieriot]

college > pros

my teams are syracuse and notre dame
college is way more fun to watch
as for my favorite team its Carolina

[Emopunkthrice]

hopefully the Pacers start a fight with the Pistons tommorow and the whole pistons starting lineup gets suspended...and hopefully Shaq breaks the rim at Staples tommorow!

[Alex Djaferis]

basketball is my favorite sport....ive been following the nba since i was about 8....been a Magic fan since then. Although I do have a liking for the Suns aswell.

i never got into college basketball as im not in the US or American....so i cant exactly have a favorite school.

[Chemical Love]

i love basketball. i dont have favorite teams in tehe NBA just favorite players, like dirk and finley.

[atticus_4132]

dirk is the best basketballplayer germany had so far...detlef schrempf also played in the nba..he was really ok but dirk is amazing....

[LoyalSubject]

I like Steve Nash, He is one of the best short white guys to play the game since John Stockton.

[AshesAshes]

im a utah jazz fan,..live in utah so ya..college it be unc and utah

[LoyalSubject]

im a utah jazz fan,..live in utah so ya..college it be unc and utah
are you LDS?

[Emopunkthrice]

dirk is the best basketballplayer germany had so far...detlef schrempf also played in the nba..he was really ok but dirk is amazing....
Dirk is an amazing player but he hasn't scored a bunch of points lately.

[Alex Djaferis]

i love basketball. i dont have favorite teams in tehe NBA just favorite players, like dirk and finley.

hehe if you like dirk and finley, why not just support the Mavs?

[BuriedAlive]

How many people like basketball? i watch it all the time. the mavs are my fav team. well because i live in dallas texas tell me what your favorite team is
that's my brothers favorite team... my favorite team is the Heat.

[TENSOR123]

college is definatley more fun to watch than pros.
but i like the knicks.
iverson is doing crazy good this year. scored 51 the other night and they still lost, that's when you know your team really blows.

[drudo182]

steve nash and the phoenix suns.

-drew-

[Emopunkthrice]

steve nash and the phoenix suns.

-drew-
What about Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudemire they are having some excellent years dude!

[NickBam]

I'm a huge basketball fan of every level. High school, college and pro. I've been a Bulls fan since Jordan left (never was a big fan of him). I am a HUGE Lebron James though, hes 20 on Dec. 30th and one of the best players in the league already. I can never really stay with a college team, but I'm a big fan of Gerry McNamara from Syracuse and J.J. Redick from Duke. I like the snipers who can take a game over.

[BuriedAlive]

just because the team lost when he dropped 51 doesn't mean his team sucks. Iverson does not know how to play his position and get lit up on defense. he is a pg with a sg's touch. he should learn to pass the damn ball more and play a position where he wouldnt get beat everytime on the defensive side of the ball. scoring is not the name of the game. you have to play defense too.

[Emopunkthrice]

Dude the Chigago Bulls are pretty much half rookies half veterans...in a couple of years maybe another championship?

[BuriedAlive]

Dude the Chigago Bulls are pretty much half rookies half veterans...in a couple of years maybe another championship?
they have a chance. i hope they get a chance.

[Emopunkthrice]

nice avator Burie Alive I know the guys in wester...the drummer is my friend

[NickBam]

Dude the Chigago Bulls are pretty much half rookies half veterans...in a couple of years maybe another championship?

And I won't be called a bandwagoner when they finally are good again.

[TENSOR123]

lebron broke his left cheek bone, on his birthday. he's gonna have to wear a mask like rick hamilton. cool stuff. stupid mutombo.

[Emopunkthrice]

Dikembe nailed him oh well Zydrunas and Mcinnis can score all the points now for the Cavaliers

[Alex Djaferis]

Dikembe nailed him oh well Zydrunas and Mcinnis can score all the points now for the Cavaliers

I doubt that will stop lebron...hes going to wear a mask apparently.

[shrguy]

i like college basketball. march madness is great!

[mylkhead]

I'm from Northeast, Ohio so I have been a lifelong Cavs fan. And of course LBJ is my fav player. Too bad he got hurt. That was scary. But he'll be back. This kid is unvelievable.

[NickBam]

Just wait until Lebron is 25. That kid is going to be the league. Give him his "Scottie Pippen" and watch him roll to the championship every year, MJ style.

[BuriedAlive]

Just wait until Lebron is 25. That kid is going to be the league. Give him his "Scottie Pippen" and watch him roll to the championship every year, MJ style.
he will never be mj. NEVER. he can't take over games now be able to. plus there are alot of things that will hold him back. people said the same thing about tracy mcgrady a few years back. hasn't happened yet.

[Emopunkthrice]

there will not be a Michael Jordan for a while....haven't seen a outstanding college player yet.

[ipoOp]

i love basketball! and since i'm from michigan i'm a complete and total pistons fan, though pistons are not doing as great as hoped they'll win the championship again for sure haha

[Emopunkthrice]

i have not liked the Pistons since Grant Hill and Joe Dumars weren't on it....

[mylkhead]

Lebron is not the next Jordan. He's the first Lebron. He's a different player than him. He's different than Kobe. He's 20 years old and a lot of critics like ESPN say if they could have anyone in this league on their team, their number one guy is always Lebron. Why is that? Why is he better than Kobe, Iverson, McGrady? Cause he passes the ball. Simple as that. The other night, Tmac had something like 36 points against us (the cavs) but he took like 30 something shots.

[Emopunkthrice]

oh well Zydrunass Ilgauskas scorred more than him tonight!

[mylkhead]

yes he did. big z! at least they won, which is all that matters. Solid night by LBJ though. 20 pts, 9 assists, 6 boards

[LoyalSubject]

I still think he is slightly over-rated.

[Emopunkthrice]

yes he is if you can buy Lebron jerseys at Mervyns im at school this is boring

[atticus_4132]

Dirk is an amazing player but he hasn't scored a bunch of points lately.

hes player of the month i think

[Emopunkthrice]

hes player of the month i think
are you serious....???? Jermaine hands done player of the month or Amare Stoudamire

[Caleb Cattivera]

im addicted to basketball, mainly NBA...the hawks are my team, but only cause one of my friends was drafted last may, donta smith, he's played a total of THREE mins all year! haha, but yeah...fav player is jamal mashburn...and this year the finals will be between the heat and the spurs...heat in 6...because with the additions of jalen rose and alonzo mourning(hasnt happened, but will), they will have an amazing bench. MVP will be shaq or lebron as much as i hate to say that about shaq, Rookie of the Year, Emeka Okafor, no one comes CLOSE to him, most improved player of the year, nazr mohammed...and i could go on for hours...if theres any fantasy basketball nuts in here lemme know lol

[Emopunkthrice]

I love Fantasy Basketball haha. and yes Heat and Spurs will make it to the championships if the Suns don't knock out the Spurs. but Jalen Rose to the heat will be a great addidtion

[TENSOR123]

it's way early to predict, but those 2 teams sound like alright choices. i'm a knicks fan, does anybody else think that we will get webber? i hear everybody talking about that, but not sure if it's true.

[Caleb Cattivera]

not a chance i dont think, sac town is content with his play this year...BUT, the latest trade rumor i heard and you can go to nba.com to see this, but kurt thomas for wally schezibak or however you speill his last name...that's the big one in the talks right now.

ah i never heard that. szerbiak is from LI and his sister is supposedly pretty hot. but anyway, i don't think the knicks need him all that much, they have decent shooters. they need to get more big guys, nazr is alright but they could use some help.

[Emopunkthrice]

I hope that Baron Davis gets traded to the clippers. The Clippers are having a good season and Baron Davis would help.

[TENSOR123]

I hope that Baron Davis gets traded to the clippers. The Clippers are having a good season and Baron Davis would help.

yea they actually are having a pretty decent season. magette is having an awesome season. i don't know if baron davis is looking to go anywhere soon though.

[Emopunkthrice]

hell ya Magette and Brand are doing fine...and Brunson and Simmons are helping out a lot!

[indieriot]

yea they actually are having a pretty decent season. magette is having an awesome season. i don't know if baron davis is looking to go anywhere soon though.
he demanded a trade before training camp started

[imcool122]

davis deserves to be on a winning basketball team. i think he would be good with the clippers but its hard to say jaric isnt doing his job and they just drafted livingston who seems to be an excellent prospect

[Caleb Cattivera]

davis deserves to be on a winning basketball team. i think he would be good with the clippers but its hard to say jaric isnt doing his job and they just drafted livingston who seems to be an excellent prospect

i can think of alot more people than baron davis that deserve to be on a winning basketball team, he WAS on one until the hornets got shifted to the west, then mashburn and magloire got hurt, bd will be on a winning team, id want to be traded to if i my supporting cast was dickau and lee nailon. jimmy jackson wont report, look for him in a heat uniform. now that's a player that deserves to be on a winning team he got shafted in that deal. malone deserves a championship as much as i hate to say it. he'll prolly be a member of the heat or spurs by all star break. i could sit here all night and tell you guys trade rumors but im going to update my fantasy basketball, god i am addicted to this shit, peace

[Emopunkthrice]

I hope Malone becomes a Spur or a Heat. Two teams I want to see in the finals

[BuriedAlive]

Heat will win it all...

especially if they get Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall.

[Emopunkthrice]

nah I think Spurs will be defenders

[BuriedAlive]

If Maggette did not turn the ball over about 3 times he would definately be a better player.

[BuriedAlive]

nah I think Spurs will be defenders
nah, they are trying to go smaller, which wont help em much. they are thinking of moving Duncan to center, he can't compete with Shaq.

[Emopunkthrice]

then what will they do with Rasho Nesterovich

[Drew Beringer]

I love th NBA, but I fuckin hate Vince Carter and Tracy McGradey. How can you admit that you don't try hard in games sometimes? Especially when making millions of dollars! Fuck that! I'll never cheer for those motherfuckers again.
BTW, my fav teams are the Bucks and Pacers (I know that is weird, but I grew up in Wisconsin and I live in Indy now, so I share allegience with both teams.)

i agree, they're cousins too. i just hate when they mouth off and to say shit like that is retarted.
they should just keep quiet and play the game, that's why i like Ben Wallace.

[Emopunkthrice]

I hate Ben Wallace for Fantasy Basketball he always fucks my team over. uses like 40 minutes. makesl ike 8 points? and like 12 rebounds!

[BuriedAlive]

points are useless anyway. you have many people who can score.. not many who can get you 12-15 boards a game.

I don't mind anyone who talks "crap", as long as they back up everything they say. Like Shaq, though my fav. player is Dwayne Wade. SO damn good.

[Caleb Cattivera]

then you have no concept of fantasy sports...that's unbelievable. wallace is one of the best rebounders in the game...and a good fantasy player, he gets you boards and blocks...theres PLENTY of cats who can score...best overall fantasy players tho, are larry hughes(prior to injury), lebron, KG, webber, kobe(also prior to injury), tmac and francis, they all get you numbers in the categories that matter...points, rebs, and assists.

you missed ak47 (andrei kirlenkio (not sure on spelling) even though he's injuried) and donyell marshall another to consider.

[Caleb Cattivera]

you missed ak47 (andrei kirlenkio (not sure on spelling) even though he's injuried) and donyell marshall another to consider.

yeah ak 47 has been out for a month or so tho...and donyell marshall has been on most waivers all season

[TENSOR123]

when is ak due back?

[Emopunkthrice]

Kirilenko is supposed to become on the roster after the game against the Lakers

[Emopunkthrice]

and will the Suns ever win a game without Steve Nash and will the Jazz have an amazing record once Kirilenko comes back?

[TENSOR123]

they will definately be winning alot more games, i don't know about having an amazing record though. Kirilenko is only 23-24, he's not all that experienced to turn his whole team around single-handedly, but if other step up it will definately be a big help.

[Caleb Cattivera]

yeah dude no doubt...with ak 47 the jazz will be BETTER...but as for an amazing record, i doubt that...if okur and boozer and do well, and if they EVER find a pg and stick with it, they'll do fine. rumors are circulating that arroyo is gettin shipped to detroit tho...

oh on the topic of the jazz...their coach jerry sloan lives 20 mins from me lol. he's an alcoholic! but such a nice guy

[TENSOR123]

Kirlienko will single handedly turn their whole team around.

[TENSOR123]

Kirlienko will single handedly turn their whole team around.

he's too inexperienced and not that much of a dominating player, he will definately change how other teams defense will match up as a whole though.

[Emopunkthrice]

Boozer and Okur can be very confusing sometimes...some games they willl score 20+ the next game they'll hardly break into the double digits. and the Jazz need a guard to stick with.

[BuriedAlive]

he's too inexperienced and not that much of a dominating player, he will definately change how other teams defense will match up as a whole though.
have you ever seen this kid play?

his team BARELY missed the playoffs with pretty much no one else out there but him. He can carry his team. This kid will be something special.

62 blocks in 14 games.

he is not too inexperienced to be dominating. he will change his name when he comes back. they were 8-6 with him so far they have only one 8 games in the last 26 since he got injuried.

[TENSOR123]

his whole team needs to play better and more consistent in order for them to turn their record around, i believe they're at the bottom of northwest and third last in the whole western conference. they need alot of improvement, and you have to consider that he may be a bit rusty, especially recovering from a torn MCL.

he single handedly carried his team last year. i think he can do it this year.

[Caleb Cattivera]

last year ak 47 avg's 16 pts, 8 rebs and 2 blocks per...pretty damn good #'s. but you also have to configure in carlos arroyo and matt harpring(altho he msised part of last season). ak played a big role, but he didnt single handedly carry the team. and this year, okur and boozer have done well...now ak DOES make his team better. once he's back they will be a better team no doubt...but he will not be carrying this team, all three, ak, booz, and okur will carry this team. i can't think of too many teams in the nba where one man does the job...unless its Kobe(whom i despise), because frankly the lakers dont have much else besides odom.

[Emopunkthrice]

Kirilenko will probably lead the team to the Seventh or Eight playoff spot but I doubt they will make it past the second if not first round

no no. you took what i said wrong. AK carries his team. but not in the way Kobe does. He gives everyone around him more energy he makes them want to finish up every play. he gets everyone involved. he is my second fav. player in the nba behind only dwayne wade.
