All Purpose NBA Thread I

^AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Anyway, I guess I'll have to keep the channel on TNT when the playoffs come. I think they have the Western Conference Finals this year. The West is going to be some great, great games. I still like the East too, but I hope Miami can get the two-seed because I wouldn't want to see Miami face Detroit in the first round. It'd be anti-climatic in a way. They are the two best teams in the East. Chicago being third.

 

Nash re-injured his right shoulder tonight in his return. Late in the second half of a Suns' blowout win over the Clips, he's sitting on the bench after previously laying on the floor.

He never returned after he "tweaked" it.

 

Nash did look good last night. I loved the last 6 minutes of the game because Pat Burke went off last night. I liked Burke when he was in Orlando, and I like him now because he brings a great work ethic wherever he goes. Leading rebounder last night for the Suns was Burke. HAHA!!!

BTW, I found out TNT has the Eastern Conf. Finals instead of the Western Conf. Finals. Damn ESPN/ABC. TNT >>>>>>> ESPN/ABC as far as basketball coverage.

 

Trade deadline moves

Dixon to Toronto. I guess they don't like Ford? Or is it Parker? Don't get me wrong, a nice add overall.

Anthony Johnson to the Hawks. This one's a head scratcher. For a 2nd round pick? Don't think Johnson's going to be the difference maker, and with the Joe Johnson deal, this leaves the Hawks without either of their draft picks for the 07 draft. I guess they're good to go as is in Billy Knight's twisted mind.

 

And the Utah jazz acquire Alan Henderson and a 2nd round pick from Philly for a 2nd round pick. Henderson will be waived, though. Meaning the trade was just picks and Philly dumping a salary.

 

Man, someone threw the light switch on with Tyson Chandler.

 

And at halftime, the score is:
Detroit 31, Miami......50.

Shaq showin' who the real Miami Heat MVP is. (16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists)

 

How bout those Mavs! ;D

 

I know ya'll beat the Cavs last night because LeBron missed those shots, but no one's talking about how he SHUT DOWN Dirk towards the end of that 4th quarter. 0 points during the final 6 minutes. MVP?

 

Hey, I never talk about Mavs as MVPs. I just talk them up as this year's gonna be champs that's all

 

In my opinion, they should win this year. But of course, this means absolutely nothing come playoff time.
