Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2006 Jazz have actually won four in a row with an almost sure fifth coming against a Kobe-less LA at home(and they'll have Harpring back). My bad. I hope they win, but they seem to have trouble winning close games, and it seems that when people play a Kobe-less Lakers they underestimate way too much.

SteakGrowsOnUecker 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 The huge hole in the middle is what is really killing the Bulls. There is absolutely no rebounding, which means no second chances after missed shots, and they have been shooting poorly for the last few weeks. I can tell they have lost confidence in the way they play and they get shaken each time a team makes a comeback on them, generally in the second half of the games. The lack of Antonio Davis' leadership is showing bigtime now, especially with Chandler who has been very soft and ineffective this season. Paxson has said he won't be making any mid season changes either, so either Skiles lights a fire under their asses soon or we are in for a long second half of the season.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 You wanna know what is really wrong with the bulls? Scott Skiles. Listen, the dude is a great assistant coach, but the way he talks to his players in the locker room and in the press does not go well with a young team. He always is going to wear out his welcome in a few years, just like he did in Phoenix. He does this thing where a player can get in his doghouse for one or two bad plays and they won't see the court the rest of the game. Scott has always been a hot tempered person and he is one as a coach and I think it is hurting the team right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Wow the Hornets beat the Heat last night in OKC and they had overflow on fans. The Hornets are in the top 10 in league attendance! The Hornets are on fire when they're at home! The games they were supposed to play in Baton Rouge have been moved to OKC. Man this is exciting b/c it's looking like OKC will have an NBA team for a while, even if the Hornets go back we'll get another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst-kept secret of the NBA this year. Actually the games that were supposed to be played in Baton Rouge were switched because the Hornets are going to play three games in New Orleans in March.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 Why though would you remove the team away from a place that's Top 10 in attendance to a place that was near the bottom in league attendance?

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 It seems like Artest will get traded to Golden State, but the hold up is the game between Indy and Golden State. Not sure who's going to be involved for sure, but one of the rumored trades was Artest and Foster for Murphy and Pietrus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just John 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 Man, the inconsistent play of the Rockets is incredibly frustrating. How come they can go on the road and handle a good team like Cleveland, but can't take jobbers like the Raptors at home? I think the Yao injury is hurting the team more than people realize. And that Indy/GS trade would be killer for the Warriors. They lose a couple 3-point shooters, but they rely on 3's way too much anyway. They get Artest who needs no hype, but also a very solid role player in Foster who will do all the garbage work you need. IMO, this is a steal for GS.

jwpeer 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) The real key to that trade is can Carlisle harness Pietrus' athleticism into a great player. If so then Indiana gets exactly what they need out of the trade, if they can put Stephen Jackson, Granger, Pietrus, Jermaine O'Neal, Austin Croshere, Troy Murphy, Anthony Johnson, jamaal Tinsley (whom they should trade imho), Sarunas Jaskicvicious in a very good rotation. Too bad they wouldn't have reggie miller still, then I'd consider them a contender. Edited January 6, 2006 by jwpeer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson G 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 You wanna know what is really wrong with the bulls? Scott Skiles. Actually, from what I saw in the abomination of a game against the Sonics, the problem with the Bulls is that they can't score. They have almost no offensive threats. Basically, it's just Ben Gordon hustling his ass off and Kirk Hinrich dropping in a bucket or two here and there. It's horrible (not that the Sonics are much better.) As for the Sonics, they have a great front court this year. They're actually outrebounding teams, which I have never, in my life, seen them do. The problem is they only have a couple of guards on the team. Ray Allen's a shooting guard, Ronald "Flip" Murray is a shooting guard who acts like a point guard (he's such a ball hog, I wish they'd get rid of him now!), Luke Ridnour's been great at point but he can't play the whole game and has been injury-plagued, and I don't know where the hell Rick Brunson is. Damien Wilkins had to step in a couple of games at point guard and he's really a small forward. He's 6'6", but he's no Magic Johnson. So, in closing, Seattle needs to trade for some guards and soon! I suggest Ron Murray and Vitaly Potapenko for two point guards from somewhere. Actually, I just want to get rid of those guys, but it'd be nice to get something in return.
