How amazing would this team have been 5 years ago?

I couldn't find any parts of the game, only the interview, but I'm expecting something along the lines of this game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Ekfbt8aew Could be worse though.

^Yikes, I hope you passed. Some of you guys need to calm down though. I don't do drugs or support the idea of doing it but its Nitro's choice. And I don't know about the rest of you but I would rather not have one of our better posters fail a drug test.

I'll believe it once preseason is over and he's still not back.

Wow great match-up if true, definitely will draw plenty of viewers. -First game for the champs and Rockets (meaning half of China will be watching) -Lakers will get their rings -Yao's year long anticipated return -one of the most intense 7 games series in recent memory

Anyone want to play? I'm way behind.

Honestly I'm not all that surprised. Whats strange is that also on 9/11, there is a decent chance that Eid will be that day.

This. He's the best player in Cavs history, played there for 7 years, won 2 MVPS with the team, took them to their only finals appearance, revived a franchise that wasn't going anywhere...the list goes on. The only reason why they shouldn't do it is because of they way Cleveland (no not Lebron) ended the marriage.

Its not a problem if Thorn had just struck out once in the 18-22 pick area, but it is when he's been holding those picks yearly and he's consistently striking out. Universe named a few solid players in each of those drafts that the Nets passed on for scrubs. How is it that Thorn could not come out with just ONE of them? Either his scouts suck or Thorn has little to know idea how to draft.

I've been to about 10 games, all at the Toyota Center. Most memorable game: Rockets vs Lakers 2008 (22 in in a row [expletive]ES) Best game: Rockets vs Nuggets 2010 (Houston makes a 4th quarter comeback)

[expletive] John. Welcome back to OTR though. FYI Finch, bcransom and AL are starting a new site and are trying to get everyone from CTS to join.

1. Los Angeles Lakers 2. Houston Rockets 3. Dallas Mavericks 4. Portland Trailblazers 5. Denver Nuggets 6. San Antonio Spurs 7. Oklahoma City Thunder 8. Utah Jazz 9. Los Angeles Clippers 10. Memphis Grizzlies 11. Phoenix Suns 12. Golden State Warriors 13. Sacramento Kings 14. New Orleans Hornets 15. Minnesota Timberwolves

Sucks that we couldn't get Singleton but Brett Wallace is a very, very nice consolation prize.

Agreed, I don't see why players keep refusing to play over there. If you're a superstar and you're playing for the Raptors, you wouldn't have the support of the city or the state but the entire country. As for the topic itself, I don't see why the league shouldn't be in Toronto. They are always in the top half of attendance every year so its not like anyone is losing money by it being there. If anything the league should push for another team (Montreal?).

Of course he did it on purpose but how does that excuse the fans for their reaction?

My bro decided to be a [expletive] and take our 360 to his friends place for the day and possibly tomorrow. Ugh I didn't even get to play one game this week yet.

Kinda disappointed that we gave up on him so quick but the deal frees up some cap space and gives us some wiggle room, so not bad at all.

Happ, Singleton and one other prospect would be amazing. $12 million is a ridiculous price though but the prospects may be worth it.

Wow cheap deal, I can see a couple of contenders looking to trade for him at the deadline.

Great...Sessions is gone, Telfair will be let go and the Timberwolves won't have any point guard to backup Ridnoir. How brilliant does the Sessions trade look now Kahn? You could have kept him to backup Luke for a few months, help raise his value and then ship for more than Minny got in that crap deal with the Cavs.

Rick Fox lost them the game.

That is only IF his foot doesn't heal. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/sports/2010-07/26/content_11049012.htm Back in October? Sounds great to me. He was just answering the question and the media seems to have overblown it.

Kahn is so weird, he makes a pretty decent deal one day and then a crap one the next.
