...yes and yes...

Posted Thursday January 29, 2009, About: Jazz won't let Millsap go

if i were miami i would go ahead and play boozer at center...then haslem plays PF, with beasley and wade on the wings...he's center enough for that system, i figure.........marion is gone for a serviceable part and cap room......

...the whole is greater than the sum of its parts....

Posted Saturday November 29, 2008, About: Why Barkley ripped LeBron

...lebron is dissing his teammates by saying anything other than "my only concern is winning the nba title this season".........

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Surprising D-League demotions

...DaJuan played last year for Prokom Trefl, a top tier team in Poland...he had to have most of his colon removed a couple of years ago and has lost alot of his stamina....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Bobcats interested in Tinsley

...so he can trade felton, who altho' playing well seems to have fallen out of favor....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Bobcats interested in Tinsley

...augustin - definitely...felton is a good combo guard but not a true point...i would play both over either marbury or tinsley, but i'm not larry brown, who doesn't play young guys if he can help it....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Surprising D-League demotions

...he trashed the lakers while still a laker...not exactly a warm and fuzzy kind of guy....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Warriors-Nets deal in works?

...for sean williams, maybe, who seems to be in jersey's doghouse....they certainly don't need belinelli now that nelson has anthony morrow, and if the warriors deal harrington as rumored it would give them an athletic replacement in the frontcourt....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Bobcats interested in Tinsley

...desperation can make for strange bedfellows...and brown loves veterans over young guys....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Why All-Star voting is unfair

...exactly...just because china has more people voting, the boston globe seems upset that their guy garnett will suffer for it...it didn't seem to be a problem until there were chinese players in the league.....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Why All-Star voting is unfair

...they have always been about popularity, which isn't a bad thing, necessarily...as long as voting is involved that's all it will ever be....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Bobcats interested in Tinsley

...jordan is not a good judge of personnel...and i agree that marbury is not a team player, but the writer of the article seems to be taking an unwarranted slap at marbury in an article about charlotte and tinsley...HE is the one comparing the two, not me. i'm just pointing out that if you compare the two players to each other, the way the writer does, it has to be marbury hands down, talent wise...(god, i can't believe i just defended marbury - please forgive me).....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Theus in trouble in Sacramento?

...the kings are clearly in a rebuilding stage...can't the maloofs be patient? are they becoming mark cuban wannabe's?.....they are the reason they don't still have adelman...two weeks in and already throwing the coach under the bus....at the beginning of the season the kings were predicted to finish last in their division, but they are now better than that. isn't that good enough to keep from criticizing your coach in public?...inquiring minds want to know....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Bobcats interested in Tinsley

...if i'm reading this correctly, it's a slap at marbury. now i don't care for marbury's selfishness and immaturity, but this shows what a rag the post is for injecting the writer's bias into reporting a story...if marbury played tinsley 1-on-1 ten times he would win at least nine of them...he's a much better shooter and a better point guard when he wants to be....

Posted Sunday November 16, 2008, About: Why All-Star voting is unfair

....agreed, Bond.....the nba champion calls itself the world champion, so how can you complain when the whole world votes on this??......you can't have it both ways.....

Posted Friday November 14, 2008, About: Marbury, Knicks begin divorce talks

...now that he's seen that walsh isn't going to make d'antoni play him, he has to take a reduced buyout if he wants to play this season....

Posted Friday November 14, 2008, About: Is Gallinari's injury in his head?

...i think he thought he would come in and take the Big Apple by storm...early comments by him indicated he thought he would start...now that reality jumped up and bit him he's badly demoralized...they said he may even head to the d-league...that had to jar him....he can shoot the lights out, but that's all he does...and who sits? chandler? i don't think so.............

...and Hova, you're right - philly ain't goin' nowhere.....

Posted Friday November 14, 2008, About: NBA teams facing financial troubles?

...don't forget new orleans, too...the city can't seem to support the team financially (its only about half the size it was before katrina) even tho' they are very good...i look for a team to move back to seattle in the future... and a team moving to vegas in the next couple of years..........
