hehe...Melo was sluggish at the start of last season too

Maybe he needs the early season to clear his head from off-season marijuana use. :lol:

How good is Ray Allen?? The fact Seattle let go an ageing Gary Payton and Desmond Mason to acquire him, Ronald Murray and a first round pick (Luke Ridnour) must go down as one of the best trades in franchise history. If the Sonics don't max Allen they will regret it for a looooong time. The only guard ahead of him IMO is Bryant. And that can be debated, Bryant cares more about shots than rings, so I'd have Allen at my ballclub!!!!!

Allen will cool down in my opinion. The problem with Seattle is that they rely on perimeter shooting so much, and it's inevitable that the bubble will eventually burst. Right now, Allen is playing extremely well. We'll have to see what happens in the next few months. They should make the playoffs, but a top 6 seed will probably be out of reach because it's so hard to maintain a decent % for 82 games.

A Jimmy Jackson No Show in New Orleans!

It's a few days old, but I found it an interesting read. re B. Davis.

 

[CanadianSteve]

Yeah, there are many cases now where players try to dictate where they play.

Another recent news item was the firing of Denver's coach, and replacing him with assistant Michael Cooper.

I thought Bzdelik was doing good thing's in getting that franchise going well.

I guess the office knows best.


On the New Orleans issue. Players like Davis and Jackson should be trying to get the team back on it's feet, instead of bitching about where they are currently placed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 -- Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets and Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves lead all players in the Western Conference and Shaquille O’Neal of the Miami Heat and Vince Carter of the New Jersey Nets lead all players in the Eastern Conference in votes received after the second returns of the 2005 NBA All-Star Balloting program.

Just goes to show what a joke the fan based voting is. As more Asian players enter the NBA hopefully the NBA will revert back to a coach picked side. Yao Ming has been very average this season.

Everyone still rating Carmello over LeBron??? :lol: :lol:

 

[CanadianSteve]

Recently there was an article about Dwayne Wade in Sports Illustrated, and it said in a few years the big rivalry will be between him and Lebron. So Carmelo's stature seems to have slipped.

Good article on Melo on ESPN:

Looks like he wont be in the All-Star game after all, after his first season he looked like a definite starter.
