Time for DeMarcus Ware bump his sack count.

I personally haven't heard of any trade rumors surrounding either guy, but if it comes down to it I think it's pretty obvious whose going to get traded. One guys a franchise player and the other guy is a aging vet at the peek of his career, shouldn't be too tough to make the call.

I think it's safe to say that this marks the end of the McNabb era in Washington. I can see McNabb in a Niner or Viking uniform next season.

Nuggets are shooting themselves in the foot with all these turnovers. JR Smith and Carmelo Anthony can't coexist on the floor.

That dunk was just nasty.

Phillip Rivers for MVP, dude is just amazing.

Josh Smith. He's undersized yet he makes the top 10, that's pretty damn impressive. Unlike all the other guys on the list who use their height and length, Josh Smith makes the most of his athleticism. There is no guy in the league who runs down more blocks and finishes with an emphasis.

I'm on the same boat as you even though my GPA didn't plummet to 2.4 lol. I'm relieved that school is done for now, but I need to go back to my studying ways once Spring semester starts up.

JR Smith has a really bad habit of chucking but the Bulls need an athletic scorer opposite Rose. I'm still confused as to why Bogans is starting for the team, from the games that I've watched the dude can't score and he's an average defender at best. This would be one hell of a trade for the Bulls if JR Smith can turn around his attitude.

Plus they already have two starting wing players in Steven Jackson and Gerald Wallace. I'm assuming they are probably looking to ship Steven Jackson, if anything. Hamilton has already made it clear in the past that he isn't coming off the bench, and neither Jackson or Wallace are bench players at this point in their careers. This wont go anywhere.

I was really surprised that he came back to play yesterday after that sprain. Rondo has some rubber ankles.

So much for Dirk being off. Back to back tough jumpers.

All Aldridge in the 4th quarter, about time he asserted himself.

Blazers are playing with no sense of urgency. You're never going to win if Chandler scores with such ease.

^I've only seen the replay once but it also looked like a travel to me to.

Are the Bulls going to be the Easts version of the Portland Blazers/Houston Rockets? What do the Bulls plan on doing now? Play Boozer at the 5 and Taj Gibson at the 4? They don't have a whole lot of frontcourt depth.

A couple blowouts with Bynum in the lineup, I like what I'm seeing. With school off I can finally catch some Laker games.

I didn't watch the whole game, but I caught the 4th quarter and I have to say that that was easily the most exciting quarter of basketball I've watched this season. Both teams were effectively running their offenses. Celts got all this credit about being the best defensive team in the league but they had no answer to the Felton-Amare pick and roll. The officiating was horrible in the 4th, I lost track of how many fouls the Celts got away with. Major props to Amare though, he has shut his critics up in a big way. That last shot was clearly late, but that was picture perfect form. Also lol at Paul Pierce, act like you've been there man. There was no need to take a circle around the court and then bow to the crowd at the end of the game.

Tom Thibodeau is one of the best defensive coaches in the league, I love the dude. Once Boozer get's confortable in their offense this team is going to do some serious damage. Imo, they are the third best team in the East behind the Celtics and Heat.

The two things that are a given for the Vikings every game: 1) Adrian Peterson beasting 2) Vikings playing stout run defense Neither of those things happened tonight, and it's no wonder that the Vikes got their [expletive] kicked. I still don't know what to make of the Giants, they look sharp one week and then play like crap the next.

I'm pretty sure it's just cumulative, person with the most wins at the end of the season (including playoffs) wins the whole thing.
