Yep I do!

[brooklyneast05]

i don't, but i kinda want it.

[Tung]

I got the Free NBA League pass that ends nov 11. free two weeks of this shit. IT'S AMAZING. and you can order it now for only $90 for the WHOLE season. that's a mad steal imo.

[Tung]

OH SNAP. Denver just got a steal.

Billips and McDyess for Iverson. I don't get Pistons side on getting Iverson, but Denver getting Billups will help Denver alot.

[brooklyneast05]

i love iverson and hate denver, so i'm ok there.

[DoubleJ]

I mean to me it really does nothing for Denver. They are essentially helping themselves to score less points.

[brooklyneast05]

There is one sticking point to the deal, though. McDyess does not want to go to Denver, and a source close to him says "he will not put on a Nuggets uniform" and may opt to retire.

that made me laugh for some reason, he's just like hell no

[DoubleJ]

He knows that he can't bang with the big boys in the west.

[brooklyneast05]

f**k the west

[DoubleJ]

Truth. The east is better now.

[Tung]

lol Javonn you kidding me? Iverson is a great player, but he doesn't fit in with Denver, cuz he's a score-first point guard. Billups is more of a typical pass point guard, and adding billups will only help Denver's defense.

If you saw the Lakers-Denver game past Saturday, you will know they were leading the game like for 45 minutes, until Lakers played defense and won.

[DoubleJ]

You tell me where the other 25 - 30 ppg are going to come from?

[Tung]

Billups can score 17-20 points. So missing about 10 points isn't much. People like Carmelo, or JR Smith, KMart's numbers are going to go up.

[DoubleJ]

Didn't Smith sign somewhere else? They couldn't even win W/ Iverson! They lost three of their best players.

[Tung]

they traded andre miller for iverson. lol that trade was so lopsided.

[DoubleJ]

And now the mavs wanna trade Kidd lmao!

[Tung]

the Spurs are 0-3. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

lmao@east being better than the west, and wtf@billups not helping denver? if anything its better for denver than pistons, joe dumars gambled and we'll see how it plays out.

[brooklyneast05]

oklahoma city thunder is such a lame name

[andrewexd]

the east isnt better. the only good teams they have are boston, detroit, orlando. cleveland/philly/toronto are kind of in the middle because i havtn seen them play much (JO and brand). the west has (in no particular order)

hornets
suns
rockets
lakers
spurs (although manus injury could mess them up)
jazz

and then other team which i think may or may not make the playoffs
nuggets, mavs, clippers (if they can get it together), blazers (depends on oden though),


dumars did the trade because iverson will keep the pistons competetive while clearing 20 mil in cap space next year i hear they want boozer. Meanwhile denevr gets a real pointguard who can defend and make plays but his contract is kind of big for a 32? year old. good deal for both. JR smith should take some of the socring load as should nene before his annual 30 game injury. the camby trade was stupid imo. at least for the nuggets.

[Tung]

^ agreed with everything.


damn who saw last night game rockets vs blazers..

brandon roy is a beast!!!

i don't think the east is better. i just said fuck the west, because i hate the majority of western teams

orlando has been doing shitty and sixers even shittier, although the hawks are surprisingly capable of drillin in points and even beating my hornets. spurs are too old, lakers are too fucking beast, clippers have no chance(wtf why would you even mention them), blazers are prob gonna be 8th seed regardless of bill walton, i mean oden. denver may have a chance with the likes of billups, and boozer might go to miami, in my opinion.

[andrewexd]

calm down its only been 2 weeks.

why dont the clippers have a chance ? baron davis carried the warriors to 48 wins and the clippers have a better roster than the warriors did imo so why not? al thornton is a beast and is coming off a very successful rookie year (all rookie 1st team, 14th darft pick). chris kaman just had career high averages of 16, 13 and 3 and camby had career highs in rebounds and blocks 13 and 3.5 at the age of 34?. dunleavy is an idiot though so who knows.

spurs are too old for what ? theyre going to struggle without manu ginobli. too much playing time will be asked of duncan and parker and their bench isnt that great. roger mason might help the socring load but the spurs cant play every game like they did against minny. I dont think they can win their every other year championship but you would be silly to count them out.

boozer isnt going to miami makes no sense. Boozer cant make a 15 win team into a 50 win team . Deron williams is out and theyre still undefeated. speaking of.. williams is going to be an allstar this year or next (depending on the extent of his injury) they have 2 more allstars in kirilenko and okur. paul millsap and ronnie brewer are becoming very solid. Brvin knight is one of the best ball handlers in the game with a very impressive turnover to assist ratio (4.2 i think). I dont think boozer is going anywhere though. The Jazz can offer him the most money and the most years on a team that won 54 games. whats not to like ? The pistons are viable because they have been to the conference finals every year for 6 years. The heat i dont think will get it together this year. marion has dropped of a bit and you cant win championships without a center or pg. the two most important positions and i dont even remember who the heat have. jason williams retired and shaq left so...


sixers.. im not sure about. Brand isnt fitting in that well.. yet. They will get there. They still lack shooting especially 3 point shooting. they will get into the playoffs. Theyre not that great in the half court which elton brand has forced them to do. Ive only seen one game of theirs but brand needs to step up.

hawks have alot of good young players. horford, bibby, smith and joe johnson. I expect them to make the playoffs too.

orlando will get better... a team with dwight howard rashard lewis and hedo cant be shitty. I dont know if they can beat 52 games but they will be top 5 in the east.
