Voted: Blazers most fun NBA team to watch

[h0lmes]

These NBA rules need to be changed. Thats such bullshit that Marbury can be cut, and just sign with the Celtics for the veterans minimum. How is another team supposed to come out from the East with this shit happening?

The NBA is just fucked up altogether. Their business model stinks. The talent is spread to thin. They've got maybe 16 good teams who consistently win year to year, all the rest consistently lose. Something like half the teams are losing money every year. The players are paid WAY to much.

To top it all off, the NBA is likely going to be getting a 200 million dollar loan from Bank of America and Bank of America is likely to be nationalized. What does that mean? The tax payers are going to be footing the bill for the NBA. We already pay for their half a billion dollar arenas and now this? The NBA is a fucking joke. I wouldn't be surprised if the NBA doesn't survive the recession. In fact, I hope it doesn't survive.

Lol. Im sure you hope it does not survive, since your state had its franchise wrongfully stolen away. Id be a little bitter, too. Its just bullshit that NYK buys out Marbury's contract, so hes probably making ~$12M this year from NYK, then he goes and signs for $1m with boston. They get a very serviceable player for $1M. Its absolute bullshit.

Gotta love unions.

In the long run we are not footing the bill. The lender is earning money on interest...

Well, I guess if you were going to get farted on by one player....

Haha.

This made me actually LOL. Patrick Chewing FTW

Rockets FTMFW. I like the blazers - they are my 2nd favorite team in the NBA. They looked like a middle school b-team last night.


PS - Portland is on my radar. I want to move there so badly.

[jflip2002]

Portland was out played and outclassed lastnight. Roy is a stud, and Aldridge will be a star one day, but it stops there. I dont see Portland winning a game if they cant contain Yao, that was embarassing.

Orlando is going to dominate today, Philly cant stop Dwight. No way, no how. We probably wont sweep, just because we're a shooting team, and will have one bad night.

Id also love to see Chicago win, thatd be great. Fuck Boston. Not just the Celtics, the whole city.

[TurkE30]

cant mess with lakers, Bynum being back is a huge help..

[jflip2002]

Why the fuck do Laker fans think they all of a sudden have Hakeem Olajuwon? ITS ANDREW FUCKING BYNUM. WHO CARES? Hes not good, hes a little above average. Sure, its great to have him, rather than not. But it doesnt change the dynamics of the Lakers. Theyre still the favorites in the West, and will still not beat Cleveland or Orlando in the finals.

[Turf1600]

Orlando is WAY over rated. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that it will be cleveland in the finals.

In the west it's a toss up. The lakers can be beat.

[jflip2002]

The Lakers are the lock of the playoffs. Orlando is far from overrated, Philly just gives us match up problems. Philly and Detroit are the two teams I fear in the east more than anyone. There are just certain teams that give us fits, and those are the two. When we get past Philly, it'll be smoother sailing. We are 2-2 Vs. Cleveland (1 loss was by 1 point), and 2-0 Vs. Los Angeles. We had that bad night I was speaking of earlier in the thread. Hedo didnt make a FG until the 4th quarter. Dwight leaving hurt really started that rally. Theres no excuse for losing an 18 point lead in the late 3rd, early 4th, though.

Just remember that it took Boston 7 games to beat Atlanta in the first round last year.

[Turf1600]

I think we all agree that the refs changed the way that game was played. Great game though otherwise - I just wish it was called fairly on both ends.

[jflip2002]

Rondo is a dirty little cock sucking piece of shit.
