good news that is! i havent seen any of him to be honest, will have to youtibe some of his high school games if theyre online? i've heard the man can rebound and block shot, but his offensive game was a bit lacking?
Why look at highschool when you can look at college?
Sixers beat Pistons, Hornets routed Spurs. Both good news.
But the Hornets and Jazz or 4-5 seeds right now, which sucks because I want them to be in the West Finals.

Oden, Aldridge, Outlaw, Webster and Roy is gonna be a very exciting starting 5. They'll need some time to develop that chemistry once Oden returns but damn they have very good defenders at every position (switch Webster and Roy and bring Jack in as PG) and the thing i love about Nate McMillan is that he demands that they play hard defensively. That kind of mentality will take them far because sometimes your offense just isnt there but defense should be constant. If the Blazers can keep that core together and make sure that egos dont get in the way then they have a great chance at winning some rings.
The Suns, Spurs and Mavs are on the downswing now so i can see teams like the Blazers, Hornets (if they can get some low post offense), Rockets (if they can ever stay healthy), Jazz and the Lakers being the teams to beat in the west. Obviously that depends on how the GM's from the older franchises rebuild after their window is closed but the Blazers have done a great job shedding their delinquent garbage and building a young, athletic team that plays hard and for each other.
You should be proud of your team Myth. 👆
I certainly am proud. Thanks.
Portland will win the next one
Spurs face Detroit. Hopefully, they can shoot better from the floor and free throw line. Detroit might be too big upfront and its in Detroit
Lakers face Chris Paul and company. Lakers destroyed them the last time and that was without Gasol. Everybody plays well for the Lakers, should be 1-0 on the road trip

Since New Orleans and Utah both won, they are now the 3 and 4 seeds respectively and as of right now won't be playing each other in the first round. w00tAnd the Sixers won again. I hope we can keep this going and somehow overtake the Raptors for the 5th seed.
its possible... we're without cb4 and its hurting us bad. we're getting good minutes from other players, ford has been outstanding and even rasho has played well. bargnani needs to pick it up though. parker could become a really great player if given the opportunities. andre miller is an outstanding pointguard and overlooked in my opinion!
Yeah, Bargnani hasn't been playing very good. He has been damn good in short spurts but nothing very consistent.
Some fans near Toronto having been saying that we should trade him and try to get something for him before he sucks. I say thats complete shit. He played well last year and could of got the ROY but this year he regressed a bit. Probably the sophomore slump.
Well Houston won over Lakres tonight, and they are now the leaders of the West.
I mean holy shit 22 wins... Without Yao Ming. And I see them playing really well on both sides, offense and defense. Their working great teamwork, rotating around the court very efficiently to get a high percentage shot. Their defense is also great, which was proven today while they were guarding Lamar and Kobe. It could be argued that they won because Gasol wasn't on the Lakers, but we'll see.
