How far can the CLIPPERS go? I would like to see them get to the second round. I havent seen them play until last night when they lost to UTAH.
The Clippers have a great team this year. I think they lead the NBA in rebounding which is always a plus and all 5 starters are scoring threats which puts a lot of pressure on the opposing team. The one thing they're not very good at is 3 point shooting, but they added Radmonivich (sp?) from Seattle, so they've even improved on that. I fully expect them to make it to the 2nd round.
Don't EVEN go there. You have no idea how painful it is to be a Warriors fan. I have been a serious Warriors fan for at least 15 years, meaning watching all the games, knowing the players, etc. We are entering our 12th year of not reaching the playoffs. FEEL MY PAIN BITCHES!!!!

As a Wizards fan, I feel your pain. Only recently we have become semi-respectable, but man it sucks rooting for a frustrating basketball team. Not all-out sucking, just perennial mediocrity to the point where they don't ever get very far in the playoffs if at all, and usually win just enough games to get a shitty draft pick. Then, when we do get the 1st pick, its Kwame Fucking Brown. Fuck.

Man, I was at that Lakers/Warriors game...I think my girl and I were the only two pulling for the Warriors in the entire section, which was mostly populated by O.C. kids in Kobe jerseys who are now students at Cal. It was a sorry display all around. The "MVP!" chants for Kobe were just as loud as the "Beat LA!" chants. That's sad.
anybody peeping the Nuggets at all? I know, probably not a favorite around here. They shot 64% last night against the grizzlies though (68% until the 4th). Melo shot 11 for 12 in the 3rd. They have been looking good this season. I'm just getting back into basketball since the early 90s really. So pardon my littledudism on the subject. Ruben Patterson was a great addition to the team I think. Camby had 21 points and 21 rebounds the other night. Martin is ill when he actually plays (missed 15 games this season I think). Carmelo Anthony's game is improving, he's starting to live up to all his hype in a major way. I'd like to see these guys succeed. Thoughts?

The Nuggets are tough to beat at home.
they're good but it doesn't even matter cos they're in the WC. They can't beat the Spurs, Suns or Mavs in a series. Neither can any other team in the West. I'm sure if the Nugs were in the lame EC, they'd be competing seriously for a spot in the EC Finals.
true. the west is tough this year. i've enjoyed watching most of the phoenix games I've seen so far (even without amare), steve nash is a hustla. I'm not a big fan of duncan or nowitski, although i recognize their talents (not to base my opinion of a team off their star players though). too bad Nene wasn't playing this season. i think the nugs are gonna grow stronger, especially with patterson and hopefully having nene back next season. We'll see what happens.
they got ugly now, so they'll be winning quite a few more games now. Love that dude.
be back for more comments later!
cassell, injured and working with only one hand, went on an incredible streak in the 3rd. it was like watching a limping E.T. defeat a gang of predators. yeah, spurs were tired from last night's game and duncan got in early foul trouble, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the clips dominated the best in the west!
sorry about that... but this ghoulish looking center has been dominating recently, even in his match-ups against KG last night (24 points, 23 boards!) and duncan last week.
but actually nobody still cares about the Clips. Even though they are respectable now. Hey i wish them the best of luck though.
Lakers @ Sacramento tonight. This game I think is crucial for both teams. Sacramento because this may give them enough confidence to lock a playoff spot in the West. Los Angeles because they need to stay above 500 and hopefully be a couple games up by the end of the regular season.
are you in la? i think folks here are coming around to the clippers, if for no other reason that that other la team is impossible to root for. i also saw some people sporting clippers gear in milwaukee over the weekend - i know that don't mean a thing but i wanted to throw that out there. i'd say that they have a decent amount of fans, but its silly to think they'll garner national attention like the lakers... well at least until 2007 when they start taking over the west.
My Mavs are sooo banged up right now. No Howard, Harris, KVH or Griffin. They are having to seriously grind it out and Dirk could vault to the lead of the MVP race if they can keep their record up through this strectch. He has to step up. Cats like Rawle Marshall and Josh Powell gettin big minutes.
Anyone watch Mavs v. Cavs the other night? Super entertaining game. JET's throwdown on Gooden was sick. Damps' block of Gooden's dunk attempt was even sicker. Lebron is filthy.
yao ming & carmelo anthony are effing killing it these days... unfortunetly, my gs warriors season is pretty much over... they can at least play out the season and play spoiler once again.

cmon Mavericks, get yr shit together and crash that party.
Suns at Dallas this afternoon on ABC, before the Oscars.
hey even if it is a fluke, i'll take it.
it's a confidence booster for the team.

Lakers acquire Jim Jackson
I think this was a decent move by the Lakers. Jackson can hit the set J and I think he'd be a good fit in Jackson's system of coaching.
By the way, I am reading this right now, and it's a really good read. Definitely sheds more light on the players, Phil, and Laker management:
This has GOT to be a dress code violation of some sort...
Amare has been killing it fashionwise all season...

True, but he's a horrible addition for the women of the greater Denver area.
K-Mart = talkin' loud, ain't sayin' nothin'
He's out again w/ new spasms.

"So, you're the best guard in the league and the team is 17-45, yeah, it's the coach's fault," Brown said.
