Here's to hoping Chernobyl gets a team.
I wouldn't mind seeing them buy a Euro league, but to start putting actual franchises there just seems bad. Think of the horrible travel the guys playing for those teams would have to endure, those overseas plane trips.
Would they be the Chernobyl Mutants?
^ Win.
NBA Europe will be like Iron Chef America -- kinda lame.
Glenn Davis went down with a knee injury vs. the Knicks.
Ray Allen was added to the East All Star team btw. He's replacing Butler.
lol, the Dallas crowd was all over George (who scored 0 points on 0-11 shooting btw) last night.
First off, fuck Allen making the All-Star team. I'd rather see quite a few others go in his place.
Second, if you just screwed up a trade that your franchise was banking on to bump it to title contention, and then you go out and take 11 shots, you are an idiot. after he started 0-4 he should have just decided "if its not a dunk, i'm passing".
He has 3 rings too. What a prick.
Dear lord, 3? I didn't know it was that many.
3 with the Lakers. I don't even remember him doing anything on those friggin' teams.
Kobe may withdraw from the All Star Game and 3 point contest with a dislocated pinky.
He didn't. They had Shaw, Kobe, Rider/Rice and probably a half dozen other players ahead of him on the depth chart.Quote:

Kobe has a torn ligament in his finger.
Nowitzki will replace him in the 3 point contest, but the Lakers were told by the league that they aren't looking for a replacement for him in the All Star Game.
If they do, I say Baron.
I'd agree with Baron Davis. He's been quietly having a great season for GSW.
Outdoor Preseason Game:
I know it's preseason, but that sucks. Outdoor basketball is completely different than indoor. I know they'll use hardwood and a regular ball, but it's going to be an ugly game, I promise you that. They better hope for ZERO wind.Quote:
Taking a page out of the NHL's playbook, the NBA is heading to the great outdoors when the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets square off in an October exhibition game, according to a published report.
Indian Wells Tennis Garden will host the Oct. 11 Suns-Nuggets exhibition game.
The matchup will be held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Calif., on Oct. 11, The Arizona Republic reports. The stadium seats 16,100 fans and annually hosts the Pacific Life Open tennis tournament.
According to the newspaper, the Suns visited the game site last summer and put down a basketball court on the tennis surface. The Suns are also expected to bring a scoreboard and video boards for the game.
An official announcement of the game is expected Tuesday.
Once before, according to the paper, an NBA game has been played outdoors. Phoenix was also part of that event when it faced Milwaukee in Puerto Rico in 1972.
I think it's cool, for a preseason game. Tennis stadiums are pretty intimate, I doubt there would be a ton of wind. Sun in the eyes would probably be the biggest problem, or possibly just fatigue from hotter temperatures. It might not be 100 in October, but it will still be hotter than a climate controlled inside court.
I like it as well.
lakers up over 40 on the hawks in the first half. damn.
kobe and gasol already have some chemistry going.
bibby is basically playing w/o a thumb on his bad hand. hard to imagine how you play basketball without a thumb on your right hand.
Wholly shit, 73-37.
Houston with another road win, albeit against a crappy team.
The messed up thing about the West is that Houston is the 9th seed and would be a shoe-in to make the conference finals if they were in the East.
The Lakers dominating again brings a tear to my eye.Quote:

Lakers-Suns on ESPN, Shaq is starting.
Shaq is sucking. boo birds are fluttering already.
in all trades you allow for a grace period. i think you need to give shaq a big one in phx. adjusting to style and getting himself in shape.
he can do alot for his physique in 2 months, not so much in a week.
Just postered DJ Mbenga.
Phil Jackson makes me laugh.
Three fouls on Shaq in the first half. Nothing changes. :D
The Lakers need to stop settling for jumpers and start attacking the basket. This game shouldn't even be close.
you know that when a guy diving for a ball out of bounds seems significant something special is happening. this game is setting up to be an all-timer in nba regular season history. i do suggest putting espn on and watching the 4th qrter if your not doing so already.
Yeah Ledezma, WATCH IT!
Lakers have way too many weapons.
Knicks lost by 40 BTW.
Zeke. :(
Bench guys who can knock down an open shot. Wow!
We need a fast forward to April because this may go down as the best postseason ever.
Who unfortunately fall in love with their jump shot. :(Quote:
