Real Deal

Don't reply. He thought Denver was going to sweep us the last two times we played them in the Playoffs, and he brings up the Nuggets in every topic he posts in, so we kinda just look the other way.

Evans should have a big game, but it's really up to Landry if the Kings are going to win this one. It's in Arco, so it may be down to the wire for Portland.

I think things are going to change now. Odom isn't happy about the way opposing players talk about us, and our team is starting to figure out they aren't as physical as they need to be. Phoenix doesn't play defense, but they do run the pick and roll better than anyone else in the league and over the last decade. Unfortunately, that's our weakness, so our top-ranked defense (top three, statistically) should come into play here, and take out the Suns on their own floor.

The Grizzlies have been losing a lot of home games lately (had that streak of eight losses at home before they beat the Nets). The Knicks will come out running, so Memphis has to slow them down, control the tempo, and force the ball into Randolph and Gasol. Grizz should win, but you never know.

Blatche goes big, and Washington gets the win against a Pistons team that, really, nobody understands right now.

Yep, Chicago needs this win badly. They are slowly falling out of the playoff race. This may be a good opportunity for Beasley to come out firing and attacking the rim. Wade will have to work for his points tonight, as Hinrich has always defended him well.

Boston is 5-5 in their last 10, and they are still in a slump. This is Rondo's time to shine against a Pacers team that has no way of stopping him. Boston should win this one at home.

Cleveland wins by 80, LeBron sits in the fourth.

Charlotte wins this comfortably. Eric Gordon is still out, right?

It would be nice to see the Wolves pull off an upset, but there's going to be too much Duncan tonight.

West SHOULD have a big game, and Collison needs to take advantage of Billups' knees. Darren is too fast, so you may see the Denver bigs in foul trouble.

In Oklahoma City? Durant and Westbrook are playing too good to be in a close game against the Nets. Nobody in Jersey can stop either of them, and Ibaka has been playing good defense lately.

We'll see what the Bucks are really made of here...but then again, the Jazz are 17-14 on the road. Too bad this isn't in Utah. I'm still rooting for the Bucks, though.

This is probably going to be a blow-out for Magic Johnson. He was an excellent passer, could score and play multiple positions on the floor, won five rings and multiple MVP awards.

If the stats don't lie, why not Wilt? I think many should make an argument for a guy that averaged 50 PPG in a season, and thumped everyone rebounding...but then, I suppose you have to look at the competition as well. Bill Russell has 11 rings. He'd be one to consider.

Undefeated. Lakers @ Warriors, in Oakland, Shaq blocked Richardson to seal the game. 1-0!

Nah, I think you missed where I was going with the post. The infamous smiley that's green, bobs from left to right, and is annoying...

Probably Carter, when he was averaging 21/5/5 and shooting 44% from the floor, 39% from the three...for the Nets. Different numbers this season.

Should've kept him around, so you can post the infamous smiley you absolutely LOVE.

It's just Jack dissing the Kings and the city, nothing more. That's like someone saying, "Nobody even knows who you are." Well...obviously, some people know that person...it's just a way of taking a jab at someone.
