Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted January 4, 2004 Does any team in the East try to score points? Before the last Celtics trade they had a string of 5 games where they were averaging 114 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 That 73-9 record ain't lookin too good for the Lakers right now.... They're 21-9 now after losing back to back games to the Sonics and Clippers, and have dropped behind Sacramento in the division. Can the Lakers rebound to win their last 52? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

razazteca 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 Looks like Manu Ginobili will be in the Injury List as of today. Now the next few games will be nothing but boring defense and low scoring games in the 80s. Can the Nuggets team of Melo, Nene, Lenard bring the excitement or will it be nothing but airball and miss Free Throws in the game vs the Spurs. I think its gonna take Turkaglu and Bowen to get on fire shooting 3s to win the game. Or maybe Hart will try to do what Speedy did last year and make Parker fear for his spot again.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted January 6, 2004 If you play for the Pistons you're allowed to dribble the ball, stop, and then dribble the ball again. You're also allowed to push people out of bounds in order to get the ball back. Least that's what I gather from watching this game right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2004 Pacers dominate the second half and win in Miami, making it five in a row. Orlando is tonight, so we *should* have great momentum with six straight going into Dallas and San Antonio starting Friday. Orlando did beat us on our home floor last month though, so I'm not taking anything for granted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Vin Baker suspended 3 games by the Celts for not complying with his Alcoholics program...I don't know if that means he just skipped a meeting of AA or if he went and got drunk but his play has been really sloppy as of late...here's hoping his demons didn't catch up to him again.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted January 7, 2004 I did see that actually, Maggette walking right into a straight punch is good times. STUPID move by Martin though, his team was up 20 something at that point in the 3rd, game was over and now he's gonna get suspended multiple games just as his team is starting to play well. Then again, I firmly believe that if you give Jason Kidd anyone who can jump high and finish, his team will win because Kidd will get them 16 points a game by himself.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Good for the 76ers. As for throwing a punch when your up by 20, it just shows why Martin sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted January 8, 2004 One of the local sports radio hosts out here is pushing this "Ray Allen is among the Top 5 to 7 best players in the NBA" campaign. He puts him below Shaq, Duncan, T-Mac, Garnett and Kobe; but ahead of Iverson, Kidd, Pierce, Dirk and whoever else makes up that next level. In the 30-or-so games Ray has played with Seattle, he's averaging 24 points, around 5 boards and around 5 assists, and the team is 24-13 or something like that. Personally, I think Allen is very good, but he's not even Top 10 as far as best players in the NBA. Agree or disagree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Disagree. Not to put Ray Allen down, but there's just too many guys I'd rank above him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 I disagree as well. He still hasn't proven himself yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah, to put him above Jason Kidd alone is pretty insane. Kidd is seemingly getting better still, it's not just almost a triple double every night now, it seems to be a 30 point 13 assist 10 board triple double. A bah Jesus Manly Triple Double. Or something. Ray is a damn fine player but nah, it'd probably be hard to get him even in the top 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) What is the big deal about Kobe getting booed on the road? He would have been booed on the road even if he wasn't being charged with a crime, because...get this...HE PLAYS FOR THE OTHER TEAM. On top of that, the "other team" is the Lakers, who are the NBA's version of the Yankees, as in the team everyone loves to hate. Plus, Kobe just has that cocky aura around him that a lot of people don't like (witness his hometown Philly fans booing him at the All-Star Game a few years ago). I've been to one NBA game this year: New Jersey at Seattle, and guess what? Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin got booed by the Seattle fans. Ya know why? Because they are the star players for the other team. Now I understand tonight in Denver was different, as Kobe was reportedly booed everytime he got the ball. But I'm sick of ESPN showing Kobe getting booed during introductions, as if he wasn't getting booed during introductions in 2002, 2001, 2000 and so on. And as far as Ray Allen being in the top tier of NBA players, I'd rank them like this: (EDIT: I forgot Dirk the first time I posted this) 1. Garnett 2. Duncan 3. Shaq 4. Kobe 5. T-Mac 6. Iverson 7. Kidd 8. Dirk Nowitski 9. Paul Pierce 10. Stephon Marbury 11. Jermaine O'Neal 12. Baron Davis 13. Vince Carter 14. Ray Allen 15. LeBron 16. Gary Payton 17. Steve Nash 18. Ben Wallace 19. Bibby 20. Webber 21. Peja 22. Elton Brand 23. Artest 24. Shawn Marion 25. Carmelo 26. Sprewell 27. Steve Francis 28. Antoine Walker 29. Rasheed 30.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 I think Payton 15th is too high. Nash, Brando, Peja, and Francis I'd rank higher. Oh, and where's the love for Zach Randolph? He's averaging 22.8 ppg, 11.7 rpg, .491 FG% The numbers are better than Rasheed Wallace's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Latrell Sprewell is vastly overrated. I don't think he belongs in the top 30. Shawn Marion probably belongs higher on that list. Tracy McGrady is clearly better than Kobe Bryant. Karl Malone probably should make the bottom 10 at least. And Michael Redd deserves some consideration.
