Kidd traded to Dallas, the teams in the west have made big moves to try and become front runners in the conference, Dallas now have the 3 pronged attack to match the Celtics.

Kidd
Howard
Nowitski

Not that impressive, I can do that.....

Teletext at moment has a story regarding NBA creating 6 franchises in Europe with a team in London

Wasn't a done deal as of last night because one of the players being traded to NJ ( Devean George) has a no trade clause in his contract, which he activated. Can't see it blowing the deal, but it might take a bit longer to work out. Fortunately this didn't come out until late last night which worked well for us as NJ didn't play Kidd, thinking he was pretty much a Dallas player already. We then proceeded to wipe the floor with NJ.

Think the Rockets have some something like 17 of their last 20.


In other news, T Mac is still softer than Stuart Fielden.

Thank goodness

The Lakers now have the best record, who have thunk it? The west is wide open with any team that finishes in the playoff positions capable of winning it. I'l go for a Mavs and Cavs final

Our hopes of any success are over.

Yao out for the season with a foot injury, although he wants to play for China in the Olympics. He should be able to as it shouldn't effect his recovery in terms of being ready for the next NBA season.

Biscuit man T-Mac will no doubt also be injured at some point leaving us with nothing especially in the west.

We traded Bonzi Wells also, who was a decent player. Scola will do ok but can't carry a team. It'll be good to see how Gerald Green goes for us.

I'll go for the final 4 to be.

Celtics vs Detroit

Lakers vs Spurs

With a Detroit vs Lakers final.

Looks like we could be on for a Celtics-Lakers finals, would be great for the NBA if it happens. Mike D'Anoni named as Knicks coach and the bulls set for the number one pick. Rose or Beasley?

The finals currently 2-1 to the Celtics, anybody else been watching it?

Yep. Been a pretty decent series so far.


The 2-3-2 Format is stupid and favours the second seeded team.


I think LA will pull through. As much as i don't like Kobe, i think they will win all three (well the other 2) at home and then win one away.

Time to dust down my Boston Celtics leisurewear T shirt and pretent I know something about basketball, I think.

I turned it off at half time yesterday in disgust

The series is over now. No way will LA beat Boston three consecutive times, with two in Boston.

The draft tonight, Jermaine O'neal has been traded to Toronto foe TJ ford and the 17th pick. I get a feeling there is going to be alof of trade activity.

Rose is a certainty to go number one IMO.

Not a completely done deal yet apparently. It's all agreed in principle, including another player as yet unnamed - I believe for salary cap reasons as Jermaine is on a big fat contract. I'll be well chuffed it if comes off. It's a bit of a gamble of course but if the lad can stay fit then a team with O'Neal and Bosh on it is going to be superb to watch. Nice one Mr Colangelo.

If he stays fit, you have a real chance in the play-offs next season.

Lets hope so

The O'Neal deal would be Colangelo's best bit of business to date (with the posible exception of tying up Bosh to a long term deal). Plus it means that Jose is our Point Guard, no more sharing the role. That's also great news for the Raptors. I am really looking forward to next season. Now all we need is for Bargnani to show the sort of form we know he's capable of and we could well be in for a play-off run.

2 weeks away, we seem to be getting used to D'Antoni's offence in pre-seasn Duhon is looking good, look out for the guy in my avatar this year Wilson Chandler...you'll see a big improvement.

I'm hoping for a better season out of us this year.

We have got Artest now who can take some of the pressure of T-Mac and Yao. Hopefully some more improvment from Scola and we are in with a definate chance of competing for the West. Although as with New Orleans, a team can come out of nowhere really.

I think we have a very good overall team. We don't really contain a mega superstar. Both Yao and T-Mac are in name but are to inconsistent over the course of a season and/or injured. With the likes of Phoenix getting older and likewise with San Antonio it should be close.

I think we'll win the west though.


Suprise team (West)- Portland. They are loaded with young talent.
Suprise team (East)- Atlanta. Yes they made the play-offs but they will improve big time.
