I am done on this subject until there is some serious news...
Except to say, don't you think Stern is tired of the various scenarios with unstable franchises, with him having to play middle man between state, city, owner, and whoever else is involved?
He wants some problems to go away as soon as it is politically feasable, and the appearance of due diligence and exhaustive efforts to solve these problems.
In the end, he is looking for a more stable and foolproof model, namely, local ownership WITH STADIUM, and a diverse economic base in the host city hopefully with an NHL franchise to bolster the foundation.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

Yeah...I'm pretty sure Wade is on the Olympic team..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

IMO...it's a 3 man race for MVP...
1. Chauncey Billups
2. Steve Nash
3. Kobe Bryant
ALL NBA team...if they do it by position...
PG--Nash
SG--Bryant
SF--LeBron James
PF--Elton Brand
C--Dirk Nowitzki (I took liberties...I know he's not a center...but who the fuck else is there?)
If all were right in the world...
it would be Nash, Billups, Bryant, James and Brand (with Wade and Nowitzki right there)...
Not sure how they do it...
I think that it's a tossup right now between the three that I mentioned...and I'd say it's between the PG's...
but Kobe's really singlehandedly carrying the Lakers into the playoffs...
and putting up SICK numbers...
It should be interesting.."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

If the Lakers finish with 45+ wins somehow, Kobe deserves MVP, he's had a spectacular season. And guess what, he's making guys better, that fucking cliche. Look at Odom, look at Kwame Brown, both playing the best basketball in their careers the last month.
I think Yao actually deserves first team center, he's really stepped his game up since he came back from his injuries, and is a completely different player now. I was truly impressed by his play against the Lakers the other day.Last edited by Brett; 04-03-2006, 06:20 PM.Comment

The Eastern Conference is the ONLY conference, imo! It's definitely the strongest. What, you think the LA Losers can hang with the 'Big Motor', Miami, or Cleveland? That Hollywood Hype machine can't hang with the Knicks, baby...
San Antone will go the way of the Alamo.
Nuthin' but YEAH!!"He doesn't need to sell millions of records, he doesn't need to fill arenas, he doesn't need to be popular, he doesn't need your money, AND HE DOESN'T NEED YOU!"

I'd like to see KoBe get up to 35 ppg, just for posterity's sake.
That'd give him the 10th highest scoring average in an NBA season.
I see KoBe averaging over 30 ppp for the next few years as his teammates get better around him. If they can get another decent power forward, and a better bench, I think they could go far deeper in the playoffs.
Just imagine something like this...
PG - Parker
SG - KoBe
SF - Odom
PF - Garnett (I can dream)
C - Mihm
Then a bench with Brown, George, Turiaf, Walton, and a few others...Comment

You still don't know shit about the sport, it's sad you continue to comment. When you will you be off the Piston bandwagon, I doubt you were cheering when they were a last place team a few years back.
Yeah the East is real strong, that's why they have one title other than the Bulls in the last 15 years.Last edited by Brett; 04-03-2006, 10:48 PM.Comment

I'd give up Kwame first, even though he's younger.Originally posted by Brett

I'd give up Devean George as well, but I'm not sure about Bynum, although he may not be the wonder child some people make him out to be.Comment

I do agree with you...Brett...about Ming...forgot about him...
he's been damn good since the injury..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

MVP?
This game is a microcosm of why Nash is better for his team.
I don't buy the argument that Nash has better players to play with.
I like their team better than LA, but how many of these players are new.
Nash for MVP
PHOENIX (AP) -- Kobe Bryant can score all the points he wants as far as the Phoenix Suns are concerned, as long as they come away with the victory.
Bryant's 51 points weren't enough to keep the Suns from beating the Los Angeles Lakers for the seventh time in a row, 107-96, on Friday night in a matchup of potential first-round playoff opponents.
Steve Nash had 25 points and eight assists but was on the bench when the Suns pulled away with an 18-4 run to start the fourth quarter after Los Angeles had closed to within one.
The Suns pulled six games ahead of the second-place Los Angeles Clippers in the Pacific Division with seven to play. The Lakers, meanwhile, dropped into a tie with Sacramento for the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference.
Bryant, who made 19-of-33 shots, broke the U.S. Airways Center record of 50 held by Amare Stoudemire and Cliff Robinson. The former America West Arena opened in 1992.
"You feel like if he's taking all those shots, the other guys aren't really scoring," Nash said. "We don't feel like if he has a huge night, that we can't win, that's for sure."
Only two players have scored more against the Suns -- Wilt Chamberlain with 66 for the Lakers on Feb. 9, 1969, and Michael Jordan with 53 for Chicago on Jan. 21, 1989.
"Oh yeah?" Bryant said. "That's pretty good company -- excellent company."
Raja Bell, the Suns' best perimeter defender, is obviously no friend of Bryant. The two didn't shake hands before the game and never acknowledge each other, let alone speak.
"If I can keep him preoccupied with trying to beat me 1-on-1, then there are four other guys out there who aren't getting shots," Bell said. "That plays into our hands because we're going to get points. So if he gets 50 and the rest of the guys don't get enough to beat us, I did my job."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Bryant was motivated after a lackluster game against Bell the last time in Phoenix.
"At some level, it's remarkable," Jackson said of Bryant's 93 points on consecutive nights. "At another level, it limits us, it hackles us a little bit because other players don't get in the flow, and they didn't get in the flow tonight."sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment
