Jordan working his magic again :crazy:. I'll probably wait a while before deciding if its a good deal. I suppose it helps the Suns in having a good back-court scorer, something they haven't really had since J. Johnson.

Diaw was worth it :crazy:

 

[Special K]

I like Bell and Diaw but eep!

It works out as the #8 pick for them..

I understand it more for the Bobcats which is crazy considering they lost the trade. Yea the suns get a 20ppg wing but what style do they want? I guess the deal was to good to think it through but f**k they are a miss managed team when you look at some of their deals in the past 5 years if not the worst when you consider their roster/potential roster.

 

[McLovin]

J-Rich is a poor defender...He and Nash will combine for the worst defensive back court in the league. Diaw's no bum, he's a walking mismatch...

 

[andrew057]

Diaw IS a bum. Richardson looked good today.

 

[Stonecutter]

Spurs go from 2nd last in their division to first in around 1 and half weeks. Very entertaining league this season .

 

[Noa]

Diaw was worth it :crazy:

If he can get back to the form of a couple of years ago when he was a triple-double threat every game it will be worth it for the Bobcats. Not a bad start, was in foul trouble early and sat out most of the first half. He never really gelled with Amare who liked to dominate the ball, he wont have that problem with Emeka and they'll mesh quite well imo. Watch for them to rotate between c & pf

This is all about the next few years for them rather then now

edited to add not quite right about the last sentance. this is certainly designed to give the cats a better defence which is what larry brown is all about

 

[El Coconuto]

Beat the Jazz on the road without Dwight Howard...

My post was in regards to the suns trading Joe Johnson for Diaw.

2 in a row for the Pacers. Danny GRanger with a HUGE night. 41 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal and shot 17-17 from the charity stripe.

 

[Noa]

Great news, Nate Jawai been cleared to resume playing . Should be ready to suit up in a months time.

 

[McLovin]

Jawai >> Bogut

granger is still THAT man

he's fast become the life of the team but atleast is getting some decent support with TJ ... still a long way off for us but if we can keep on improving we'll be in good shape

TJ and granger partnership is pretty exciting, hopefully can lead us out of this dark age

 

[McLovin]

What the heck is happening in Indiana?? They have a completely new starting 5 today...or did Yahoo screw it up?

 

[Selachimorpha]

Brandon Roy is ridiculously hot right now. Last 5 games he's averaging 36.4 points at over 50% shooting, 5.6 rebounds, 5 assists, topping it off with a 52 point explosion to almost single-handedly beat the Suns.

Roy's been damn good from the moment is stepped into the league but he's really stepping it up to an elite level this year, Portland need to sign him for life.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

yeah they rotating for the clippers but ford and nesterovic still racked up 38 minutes

it seems every third match we go into OT and today was double OT and lost 117-109 ... if granger played we probably would have won

i don't know what to make of this ... on one hand it's showing that we're staying in the match until the end and not being blown out in the third quarter like we usualy do

on the other hand we're not going the entire distance when we hit OT

we're scoring alot of points these days but our D is leaking like the titanic

 

[BeeeeeRad]

Yeah, but don't forget that Granger, Murphy abd Daniels our 3 most consistant players didn't suit up and that TJ Ford played injured. Plus then you see that Dunleavy and Tinsley (which is about 15M of cap space) havn't played a game all season.

I'm reasonably happy with our team this year, sure all these close losses and blown leads hurt but I think we have a good core group which with a good pf we could really be a good team in 3 years or so.

 

[Ridders]

Lakers losing two games in a row. We are being found out a bit with our current schedule. Bynum's been a bit of a let-down, although to be fair to him his minutes are down and he never gets any plays run for him.

 

[McLovin]

Trade Odom for someone like Battier or another defensive type SF/PF. The lakers don't need Odoms offence and he's never really been a Phil Jackson triangle type of a player, more of a run n gun do you're own thing type imo. Battier will be a huge boost defensively...
