Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Iverson to Cavaliers?

Why would Cleveland even entertain this? It's pure dumb. Cleveland already has a better version of AI in Mo Williams. Mo is team oriented while AI is just AI w/ no team concept. There is no single reason why Cleveland should bring AI. Lebron and Shaq already has the star power so it won't make sense to bring in this idiot. There's probably just one answer but even then it won't make sense for Cleveland. If AI pays his way into the Cleveland starting 5 for about $25 million a year then maybe he could be on the team.

The story is right on cue but both sides created the problem.

Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Rockets, McGrady at odds again

Not only 2 years ago but every year he went to the playoff. He was the one that really carried the team even when he was w/ the Magic. He played hard against the Mavs but the other team had more help. Yao was the problem on some of those playoffs where he disappears too much. The thing I don't agree is the way he announces his comeback or his injury. It goes against team policy. The team is always the last one to know that's why the team has the right to gripe.

Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Warriors players want Jackson traded

Until the owner realize that D'Umbtoni can't coach then the Knicks will still be a bottom feeder. D'Umbtoni go too much credit for the Suns team when it was all Nash. Look at what the Suns are doing now w/out D'Umbtoni? D'A" is an overrated coach. It's not just defense that he can't coach but offense also. The Knicks players are proving that they can play but the coach does not know how to put it together.

Posted Monday November 09, 2009, About: Source: Iverson considering retirement

There's no I in team but there is capital I in Iverson. I hope he retires because there is no more team that will take him. The guy would have been good if there was some kind of "Team" in his play. He could have been the next Isiah but he is not even close to him. Too bad. I hope he does not make it in the HOF because he does not deserve it at all. His head will continue to swell if he does make it. There are too many other PGs that are way ahead of this guy. Mark Price, Kevin Johnson, and Rod Strickland are way ahead of this selfish player.

Posted Sunday November 08, 2009, About: Grizzlies: Iverson hasn't asked for trade

Common... You're making this as a racist excuse. What's wrong w/ you? Too many excuses and this is the worse excuse ever. This has nothing to do w/ race. It's stupid comments like this that makes Martin Luther King's fight for equality so degrading to the cause of what he was truly fighting for. Stop using your race as an excuse and using it to your advantage.

Posted Sunday November 08, 2009, About: Grizzlies: Iverson hasn't asked for trade

Don't cut the dude. Just suspend him for the rest of the year and let him stay home and earn that weak $3 million. By doing this AI would have more to lose and that his ego will surely get the best of him. If NY can send Marbury home w/ pay for some, I forgot maybe $15+ million a year, then they can afford to do the same thing w/ AI. Releasing AI just gives him a freebie and allows him to go wherever he wants to go. Let him stay in Atlanta and he will never come back to the NBA again.

Posted Friday November 06, 2009, About: LeBron hasn't ruled out Knicks

Excuses and more excuses for the 2008 Lakers. They got Kobe who had so many finals appearance along w/ Phil Jackson. The Lakers were favored going into the finals because of what they did prior to reaching the finals that year. Kobe just plain gave up and the rest followed. It's really bullcrap to make up too many excuses. That Lakers team was also very talented.

Posted Wednesday November 04, 2009, About: Why LeBron may join Kobe in LA

If Lebron did have a choice between NY and LA w/ the current rosters that the team has right now then I would think that LA would be the obvious choice and maybe he will really turn the franchise around and take out the jinx. The only reason the Clips are jinxed is because of the stupid management and owner. Maybe, some fans from San Diego put a curse on that Clippers team when they moved out of San Diego. It's weird because Walton went to Boston and he was jinxed right away w/ bad injuries. There was one player that came out of San Diego and played really well after leaving San Diego. Terry Cummings was a good player and was an all star after having good seasons in San Diego.

Posted Wednesday November 04, 2009, About: Why LeBron may join Kobe in LA

The whole story is stupid. First of all, the story is hinting that Lebron knows that he is way better then Kobe. That sentence alone will get Kobe and his fans all riled up. Kobe already destroyed a dynasty by breaking Shaq and Phil Jackson apart and now the story assumes that Kobe will bow to King James and be a second fiddle again? Super stupid story. Maybe if King James joins the Clippers then that might work. The Clippers do have a supporting cast to help King James. Their front line is pretty good w/ Kaman as low post center and Griffin as the 4. They have shooters galore and they are pretty young except for BDiddy and Camby.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Gasol's hamstring may be torn

It just shows how vital Gasol is to the Lakers. There might be some bad karma to the Lakers fans. Can you imagine they call him Gasoft? This guy is their ultimate low post player that they are missing and it shows.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Grizzlies fail to lock up Gay

That's why they would be in the same sentence as the NY Knicks. I guess they are following their suit. Good luck w/ that idea.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Thomas at odds with Bulls coach

It's stupid that this even came out. This should have been dealt internally. How the paper learn about this in the first place?

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Maverick accused of homophobic slur

Whatever Gooden did was wrong but the NBA did not do it's part in protecting it's players. An official should have stepped in and warned both the fans and the players. The NBA official has the right to kick out both the player and the fan.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Marbury: Knicks should fire D'Antoni

I think he was an NBA head coach for more than 6 years. He took over Denver team and he stunk there. He took over a Suns team and they stunk until they got Nash from the Mavs that's when his team got really good. That was one of the major jump in wins when they got Nash. There's too much credit given to D'A". Nash was more the reason why the Suns were that good.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Daniels close to picking team

Worthless pickups just like those Juwan Howard, Magloire, Smith, Lindsey Hunter, etc. They are just there to get paid and ride the pine. I just don't understand these pickups.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Oden becoming a leader?

Oden let me down when I picked him up for my fantasy bball for blocks. He didn't give me anything.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Disgraced Donaghy to be released

Unless somebody investigates then time will not do anything but brush it under the carpet. Lord Stern has already done his part to make sure that nothing comes out from Dounaghy. Somebody mentioned here that he already stopped the book from being published. How can the NBA sue the publisher? The NBA has to prove that the story is false.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Report: Celtics, Rondo agree to deal

I don't know why fans are harping on this deal? The kid has proven his worth in a team that really needs him. The C's are doing the right thing by signing this kid because they know what he can do for the team and he has grown under the C's system. It's not like some other teams (NY) who continue to bring in expensive players from the outside and pick them up for their potential.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Could Bulls lure Wade to Chicago?

I think DWade and DRose would work well together. Both are very unselfish players who can set up teammates. DWade of more of a 2 and DRose is a 1. I think it will be hard to stop them if they are on the court together.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Lakers to let Farmar, Morrison test market

Excuses. Excuses. It's only one game and these Lakers fans are already turning against the bench players. All these guys are good role player and they bring something to Phil's system that's why they are on the team. Brown was never a PG in college and his job is not to be a PG for the Laker team but to make shots when he is open and drive to the basket on occassions. Brown will not be a good PG outside Phil's system. All the players in Phil's system play some kind of role. If they don't play their role right then the Lakers are in trouble.
