Oh man, that three game stretch with Boston/Atlanta/Cleveland is brutal. Toronto needs to get their act together and play some of that spectacular basketball from January.

Its a bit too early for predictions imo. What happens in the playoffs will play a huge role with many players but anyways... - LeBron James --- Cleveland Cavaliers - Kobe Bryant --- L.A. Lakers - Dwyane Wade --- Chicago Bulls - Chris Bosh --- Houston Rockets (homer pick) - Amar'e Stoudemire --- Phoenix Suns - Joe Johnson --- Atlanta Hawks - Many Ginobili --- San Antonio Spurs - Carlos Boozer --- Utah Jazz - David Lee --- New Jersey Nets - Rudy Gay --- Memphis Grizzlies - Tracy McGrady --- Don't care - Ray Allen --- any contender, if Celtics don't make it past the second round then he is probably gone. That may be true but doesn't he also want to be 'the man'? I'm not sure if he still does but I do remember reading that about him a while back. In Phoenix he gets to play in that run-n-gun offense and with Steve Nash. I can definitely see him staying especially if Phoenix does some damage in the post season.

Anyone planning on watching this? The trailer looked pretty good imo. I might watch depending on the reviews.

JJ does make sense but only as a fallback plan in case Dwayne resigns with Miami or heads elsewhere. Wade is on a whole 'nother level, no team in their right mind would take JJ over Wade. Besides why would JJ trade down to the Bulls when he already has a great, great team in the Hawks?

Don't forget that Yao is a HUGE cashcow, chinese fans and the media will follow the guy wherever he goes. I don't think there is any way Les will let him walk unless the offers are downright ridiculous. Personally I think he owes it to the city of Houston and the organization for sticking with him through thick and thin. I wouldn't blame him if he wanted a larger contract but that is how I feel as a fan after watching him go down every damn season. Yao wants to get paid but he also wants to win, he can't do that with a bottom feeder.

You guys really think he will leave $30 million on the table? IMO, if Bosh leaves it will be via sign and trade. I'm not trying to sound like a huge homer but the Rockets could be a player in the Bosh sweepstakes because they do have a solid all-around core (don't forget they were serious playoff contenders for several years although they only got out of the first round once) AND have the assets to pull a sign and trade that will allow Bosh to save $30 million. Its ideal for Bosh and any other big time free agent. Would Battier + Jeffries ($15 million in exprings) + Aaron Brooks/Jordan Hill + one of the Knicks picks satisfy Raptors fans (IF Bosh is leaving and wants to come here)?

Who makes it in the Rocket banner? I would say either Martin/Brooks but now that the season is almost over, Yao?

Holy [expletive] this is amazing! Fantastic job Real Deal.

Great to see Taylor starting. Either Adelman was impressed with him in practice or he's embracing tank mode. Or a combination of both. Still a great debut for Jermaine, 6-14 shooting and some nice D.

So how far are you guys? I don't like playing during school nights so I haven't picked this game up since last Sunday. Right now I'm where you have to fight Sazh's demon.

Dana. :o I knew someone from CTU was working with the terrorists but I was suspecting Arlo.

I'd quit, I could join another board but it just wouldn't be the same.

^What? This show is still great, probably one of the best shows on tv right now imo. Anyways, this is old news but they finally decided to make it official. There are rumors that other networks are interested in picking up 24.

I just got this for ps2. Its an improvement over last year but its only still a decent game. Like Travesy, I tried using create-a-story mode but it just seemed like too much work to get nothing special done. Personally I preferred GM mode.

Another great game from Ariza. He showed tonight that he deserves more shots than he's been getting as of late.

Don't rule out Houston as a possible destination either, we nearly acquired him at the deadline for the second straight year.

Live action. Link Oh God, Bleach would make a HORRIBLE live action movie, maybe just as bad as Dragonball. Death Note could actually work though but only if they can get a damn good director. Although the only problem with the movie may be the shinigamis.

^Trevor had a damn good game today. 18 points on 14 shots, 9 rebounds, 5 assist and 3 steals. He really has shined since February.

Shouldn't have Yugo already made a rap by that time anyways? Then again 50 did have more time than Yugo to make his. Bleh, like you said its Real Deal's call.

Update: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AvNUJR00wmsh4BBarrgSTSi8vLYF?slug=aw-trailblazers032210&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Wow, after that I would say he is as good as gone.

Clutch the bear. He's so entertaining and funny.

Denver and Dallas would murder Phoenix. Your best bet to win is easily the Thunder (young, lack of experience, etc) and then Utah.

I'm not saying he's been the best but imo Trevor Ariza has definitely become one of the elite perimeter defenders. Sefolosha and Mbah A Moute are good choices.

1. Luis Scola 2. Troy Murphy 3. Josh Smith

I stopped watching when I saw we were being out-rebounded by more than 20. Our guards did their job but our frontcourt was horrifying. Oh well, it was good to see Houston make it into the tourney and play hard. I guess we'll go another 18 years without a tourney appearance now that Coleman and Lewis are leaving. -_-
