station 0 Posted November 22, 2005 I didn't think they would have as good of a record than last year, but after they bent over and spanked Detroit..I'm starting to watch them more often. (I'm more of a football fan than basketball, but I can't stop myself from watching a few games). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Survivor 0 Posted November 24, 2005 No, you can't just make a few judgements just because they beat detriot. There's other teams like Denver, Clippers there looking good this year, and really the two teams that might tkae there spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
station 0 Posted November 24, 2005 You must've misread my post or something. I wasn't making any "judgements". I was simply stating that I don't watch the Mavericks as much as I used to. I wasn't saying, "Dallas is going to win the championship this year..don't even bother having the Finals." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodprior383 0 Posted November 25, 2005 So is anyone buying the Clippers? I think they are a damn good team this year and their performance so far is not a fluke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
station 0 Posted November 25, 2005 So is anyone buying the Clippers? I think they are a damn good team this year and their performance so far is not a fluke. I'm not only because I highly doubt their success will last through the whole season. I'm not saying they won't get into the playoffs, but I doubt they would be a big postseason threat. I like some of their players though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

station 0 Posted November 25, 2005 I'm skeptical this year, but maybe just because it's so early in the season. I just feel like some team that nobody expects will end up winning the championship. Gut feeling..who knows. If Detroit gets in the finals again I am going to murder someone (even if they did lose last season). I hate me a dynasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LA Clippers 8. LA Lakers East: 1. Miami 2. Detroit 3. New Jersey 4. Chicago 5. Philadelphia 6. Boston 7. New York 8. Orlando Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigGamer 11 Posted November 25, 2005 The Wizards are sucking. Why do I have to use this smilie so much? I'll tell you why. I'm a Washington fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bartleby 1,781 Posted November 25, 2005 The Wizards are sucking. The Kings aren't doing much better. Let's cry together. But really, it's gotten to the point where I seldom watch Kings games anymore. So many new faces, so many holes in the defense, so many bricks you could make a house with them. They're not horrible, but they're definitely not the contenders they were 3 years ago.

gta_player5 173 Posted November 25, 2005 i have nothin against him, im a knicks fan, i just think its funny, he says hes the best player in the NBA. hes good but not that good, and yes, he is a good person, i never said he wasnt. anyway... who do we think will take #1 spot in the east? Miami or Detroit? both are hot (right now) and they both have a good team, so...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gta_player5 173 Posted November 25, 2005 detroits offense has improved a whole lot with flip saunders, but i think that miami will take first because they have a deeper bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gta_player5 173 Posted November 26, 2005 yea, boston, dallas, atlant, boston, then miami, in the course of basiaclly 2 seasons, because he was traded to dallas, then to miami both in the offseason. i think that jayson williams is underrated, hes a solid pint gaurd, he gets assists, and he can put up points with consistency, they made some great, and i stress great, moves in the offseason. plugged up holes in the becnh and in player losses.

station 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Antoine Walker used to be a very good player, but now he is just a trading tool. I wish Dallas would trade for Ron Artest or some other really good 2-guard. I don't really like Doug Christie.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gta_player5 173 Posted November 26, 2005 it was said they were expectin doug christie to retire. he used to be good offensively and hes still ok on defense, but what can you do? he got old. umm, u would want ron artest on your team? good player, but a nutcase, it seems thats a pattern with most good players. barkley, artest, rodman, reggie miller (spike lee incident), and others.

Of course, I'd love to have Ron Artest on my team. That big fight when they were playing the Pistons is over and gone. Like I always have said..I'd probably have done the same thing he did. Hell, if Rodman was still playing..I'd want him on my team too. I enjoy nutcases like those guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
