    2003-2004 NBA Season

    In every fantasy draft, Garnett is always my #1 choice. He does it all and doesn't take a night off. I think he should be MVP every year. By definition, Shaq should be MVP since LA would probably miss the playoffs without him. But I don't think he deserves the award. Shaq COULD totally Wilt...

    Well, I'm 100% sure that Kobe was pouting during the game by scoring 8 pts. I know this because Kobe actually gave the Kings credit for beating them during post-game interviews. The Lakers always say they "beat themselves" after all critical losses (as Shaq did again yesterday) so why would Kobe...

    Damn. Them Kings missed some crucial plays down the stretch. (Bibby, how could you miss that wide open layup?) However, they played worlds better than they played a week ago. I'm feeling better about the playoffs as Miller and B-Jax get healthier and back into sync. Only one more week!

    Plus, Portland is an athletic, rebounding team. The Lakers have a tough time with teams like this. (And so do my Kings.) I will be surprised if the Lakers win both upcoming games versus Portland. If Portland would have made their Rasheed/Theo&Sharif trade a month earlier then they would be a...

    OK, first of all, I want to inform the jury that I did qualify at the time that my 2-1 prediction for the Texas three step was a ranting of a fan and not based on fact. The prediction was also made before knowing Miller injury was still bothering him. But damn, I thought still would have thought...

    Everybody keeps talking about how they need Payton and Malone to win a championship. Why? Was there a year they won the championship with them? p.s. Why is Webber so difficult for you to spell? Joe, Do us all a favor and take your rantings over to the message boards on espn.com to...

    Yeah, I don't know what the Spurs were thinking trying to win so badly. Who do they want to play more in the second round? The lowly, defenseless Kings or the all-mighty Lakers? Dammit, they should have just swollowed their pride and let the Kings have the season series.;)

    I think if they would be fine if they would put in the same kind of effort for every game like they do when a big name team rolls into town. But you could say that for every team. Utah is an excellent example that the difference between the #1 lottery pick and the #8 seed in the playoffs is...

    2003-2004 NBA Season

    Man, a bunch of really good games tonight as it turns out. A lot of close, hard fought games. Supreme among them was the Memphis 2OT win over Atlanta. Memphis had to hit a bunch of clutch shots to send the game to each OT (and pray for missed FTs to which the Hawks provided.) Unfortunately, I...

    I meant to say three not four. I haven't written a long post in a while and for some reason I got the number 4 stuck in my head. The Lakers need to make up 3 games no matter which way you cut it. Sorry for the brain fart. And I think the Kings have developed the same mentality as the...

    Gross. Calvin Murphy is being charged with indecency with a child. If this story is true then I hope he sees jail time. As a color announcer, he rivals Tommy Heinsohn as one of the biggest homers on TV today. In a way, it made the game more interesting listening to a guy talk about their...

    The Webber thing is way overblown. He has never said anything publicly about wanting a trade or screw the fans. He said nothing to team officials or to the team in general. The writer of the article told the local radio this morning that he got his info from an unnamed source so basically it's...

    2003-2004 NBA Season

    Would that be cash, money order or cashier's check? There's still a 2 game lead with 9 gms to go right? Actually, they have a lot more than a 2 gm cushion. It's a FOUR game lead if you break it down. Currently the Kings have a 3 gm lead since the Kings currently own the tiebreaker (2gms to...

    Big win by Utah on a last second shot. Portland continues to win too. I'm still picking Utah to keep that 8th spot. As a Kings fan, I would prefer to play Denver (assuming they're the #1 seed.) I thought Cleveland was dead in the water when I saw them down by ten late in the fourth quarter. I...

    The Hornets are headed towards a first round exit no matter if they have homecourt advantage or not. Bad calls on both sides for the Pistons/Spurs game. However, the Pistons got the bulk of them. Some of them were of the "WTF did the ref think he was seeing" variety. Manu was the Tasmanian...

    Said (as I remember it) by Walton during last night's Kings/Lakers game: "How can he be bored when the fate of Western civilization hangs in the balance?"

    This could happen considering the way they are playing but I got my rally cap on. I think I let them down tonight since I wasn't able to catch the first half of the game. It was all my fault for not being there for my team. :crazy:

    I'll believe it when it happens. Last week, the sports media was all over how Minny was struggling to integrate all their new players. This week it's the Kings turn to capture the media's attention. The Lakers wanted this win waaaay more than the Kings. That was very evident. They were...

    The Spurs-Minny game showed some bad execution at the end of the game for SA. It was almost like the Spurs-Lakers playoff series two years ago. Iso to Duncan. Minny would double/triple team him. He would look to pass but see that all his teammates were on the other side of the court standing...

    Houston v. Portland was a great game tonight. I love this season. Every night I can turn on the tube and watch a great game between two teams fighting for something. And the great thing is that in three weeks, the games get EVEN BETTER.:emoji_thumbsup: :D Just check out the roll call for...

    Damn that post by George K was too funny. Exactly. They have shown the heart of a former champion by winning a lot of close games and dramatic comebacks. These wins are overshadowing the fact that a lot of these games shouldn't have been close games or dramatic comebacks in the first place...

    Come on, now you're reaching. You're telling me that you can't tell when the Pacers are playing their best or when they are mentally out of the game? If someone sees several games of one team then they can tell if a team is not playing their best in the next game. There is a reason why this...

    Whew, somehow, somewhere, the Kings reached into their basketball shorts and finally found their balls. After getting crushed in the first half for the third straight time, the Kings finally manned up and played some D. When they cut the lead to one after the third quarter, I still would have...

    Will everybody please tell Seth that the Pacers are a lock to win it all this year? I think I know more about the Pacers now than my own team.:b ;) Whoopsy. That's my problem of not proofreading posts again. Thanks.:emoji_thumbsup:

    Artest did a totally cheap shot under the basket on Derek Anderson. As they ran pass each other, Artest elbowed Derek in the jaw and continued to follow through by putting both arms up to act as if he was just trying to put his arms up and "accidentally" hit the other player. Replays showed that...

    Agreed, AI should have played anyway that night. Agreed, AI shouldn't put his ego before his team. BUT he's AI. His coach is Chris Ford, interm coach. Ford shouldn't be getting into power struggles with him. Ford should get the bulk of the blame for creating this situation in the first...

    Here is an article on Grant Hill and insurance coverage. What amused me about Iverson sitting out was the interview he did with Jim Gray(?) during the game. He basically said that all he wants to do is give his teammates the best chance to win games and make the playoffs. He said this while...

    Chris Farmer, How do the people in Texas pronounce Turkoglu's nickname? It still kills me whenever I hear someone on national television pronounce it as "Hay-DUE" instead of "HEE-Doe." Everyone in Sac, including himself and his old team, pronounced Hedo as "HEE-Doe."
