Actually all the major NBA writers are pretty much saying Kobe, Nash, and Billups. Although I wouldn't mind LeBron being in more of the MVP talks 😄

Yeah I forgot to add in Billups.

toronto versus kings was a great game... jalen rose, even though hes been quoted as saying he wants to leave, aint doing a vince and is still playing hard, nailing the winner last night against scato. i hope we can keep hold of jalen... or get some needed muslce for him. hopefully new gm wayne embry will do us well.

yeah... but ITS ABOUT TIME he went back to being "CAPTAIN CRUNCH" i cannot count the number of times hes f***ed up in the late stages of games this season. but even when vince wasnt giving effort, he played better than jalen did at the start of this year, lol. and u know there is a lot of truth in that, he was in a MAJOR shooting slump at the start of the season but he is starting to get it together.

anyways.... who thinks bosh will sign with the raptors again once he is a free agent?? i think he will just bcz he does not want 2 come back to toronto to be bood if he doesnt.

Bosh will have plenty of offers (i know the Lakers want him) but the Raptors can offer more money and thats usually the deciding factor.
Tanjot, you almost went an entire post without mentioning Wince - thats progress.

Dunk contest:
Josh Smith
Nate Robinson
Andre Iguodala
Hakim Warrick

The first three should make it fun. I have no idea about Hakim Warrick.

sorry about the iverson prediction for mvp.. i thought you were joking when i read that the lakers had a better record than philly... but then i looked back at the standings and realised i'd misread it... duh me.

nash is doing a fine job, considering everyone said he won it last year because of amare, just goes to show hes been doing it with or without anyone. i do think dirk should be given more recognition tho, hes been playing well, and the mavs are doing great. personally, i think they should scrap teh mvp award this year, and give one each to the pistons starting five. they've been simply amazing this year, and if they beat the bulls record it'll be insane. 72-10 was crazy, dare i say it... 71-9??

😆 They'd still have 2 more games to play though.

oh man... kool, my maths has gone utter crap lately lol... i could be good and just edit that post, but i'll leave it there just for comedic value..... bloody sums. 73-9.... thats better!!!😄

😆 Its a good sign when you can laugh at yourself Royke, it makes it much easier to laugh at others without feeling guilty.

Iggy FTW.

Lebron declined to enter it, which kinda sucks.

And i don't know what they were thinking with Warrick.

Still looks better than last years.

Sorry what does "FTW" mean?

For the win, meaning that I want Iggy to win.

Or if say Iverson hits a game winning buzzer beater, you can say, AI FTW!

Thanks, i feel alot cooler for knowing that. 😎

koo, you have to laugh at urself, its probably the best welsh trait. we get taken the piss out off all the time, but its mainly ourselves doing it. such is life in the vallies🙂 needless to say, its been one of those days. artests first home game tonight.. think he'll go buckwild? or maybe not too much to try get the crowd on his side? they're no doubt sceptical as for whether he wants to be there.

Darth,
Toronto traded Aaron Williams for two future 2nd rd picks.

So for Vince Carter, we got 2 first round, 4 second rd (I think), and Eric Williams (which will be traded eventually).

Cant say its bad as before.

Pistons lost to Nets. Before tanjot goes nuts, I'd like to point out that Carter shot 7 for 20 for 17 points and had 8 turnovers.

WHAT??!!.....no chris anderson??!!.....this as an outrage!!!

Wow didnt see that one coming, the Pistons were looking unbeatable.
The Lakers just destroyed the demoralised Knicks 130-97, the Knicks played with no heart after losing to the Hawks a day earlier. Kobe scored 40 but i would have preferred him to just sit back and rack up the assists as his teammates had it going for once. 6 Lakers in double figures, that might be a first this season. Andrew Bynum had a career night 16pts on 7/7 shooting to go with 4 boards and an assist. I love what this kid brings to the Lakers, he has such a great attitude for an 18yr old and the work with Kareem is paying off. He showed quite a few new post moves tonight and a real nose for the ball on the boards. He is gonna be a great center in this league, im stoked the Lakers took a chance on this kid in the draft.

vince better enter the contest this year, although i highyl doubt he will bcz players these days just want 2 keep their reputation.
