Of course the Knicks are going to rebuild. They've got a nice draft pick coming up and some of their talent is young. I really like Balkman and especially Lee, but Isiah was incompetent. Robinson and Crawford are great too. But Eddie Curry, Marbury, and Randolph must go. They're dead weight.

A lot of people might not agree, but I think that Phoenix needs to go through a rebuilding phase much like Dallas is going to do. I don't expect to see a lot of the Suns players returning next year.
 
Randolph isn't bad...

And wtf at orlando turning the ball over and missing wide open 3s!!!

Yeah I think I worded my post wrong. I meant Phoenix would be admitting a rebuilding phase
by picking up Marbury.

Of course the Knicks need to rebuild...holy shit :lol
 
Although the Pistons are clearly the better team so far tonight, I would like to give a special nod to Jameer Nelson and his guarantee of victory for the Magic. Sure, it may not work out, but he IS 3/3 from the field, so at least he's TRYING.
 
Dwight Howard has got to practice free throws in the off season. It's hindered Shaq his whole career and Dwight should look at this year's Phoenix/San Antonio series to see how shooting poorly from the free throw line can haunt you your entire career. He needs to be up to at least 70%, probably more.

I think a bigger problem for the Magic is the turnover differential. They need to learn how to take care of the basketball or they're never going to consistently beat Detroit.

Well in all fairness to NBA-Age, certain other OT cliques also drove him away.
to be fair i think it was houston medical staff that brought yao ming down that ultimately brought down stealth.
im gonna now drink on his behalf. cheers mate!
 
Are we seriously choking this bad with the season on the line?! Someone step the fuck up!

FUCK. I was like well at least it's only 8-2 this 6 minute run.. and then Prince drains a 3. God dammit.

17-3 in turnovers. What.

They've let Wallace maim Howard the entire fucking series and I don't understand it. Every time he goes for a rebound he either pushes Howard or goes over his back and there's no call. On the offensive end, he's been fouling him pretty much every time Dwight touches the ball.
 
Heeeeeeeddddoooooooo :( Oh well, I knew we were a year off still. If we can add a top-flight SG or PG, then I feel like we'll be in a good situation for next year. The other alternative is adding another decent big so that Hedo can move to SG and Shard can play SF.
 
Well that looks like a fitting end to the game for the magic. I have a quick question though.


Whats up with 20 second time outs lasting at least a minute? How does that work out?

Isn't he a bit too slow to be a 2 guard?

08-09...Year of the Redick.

So, how do you grade Allan Houston's first year with the Magic.
At least Houston hit a few game winners in his day, including that runner that knocked out the Heat in 99.

I have a feeling the Spurs are going to be borked in this game. Duncan got called for bullshit foul and CP3 got away with holding Parker.

Well Manu just got a 3 point flop called for him, so it's all evening out...
 
I'm waiting for West to snap and beat up the Spurs bench

that boy ain't right

and the coaches put this guy in the all star game over Manu?!
 
No fan of San Antonio has any right to complain about officiating after the Phoenix series last year :lol
