    font class="post"1b,121b,121There bench is actually what got em back in the game last night. They sat Nash, and put in the rookie Dragic. Dragic's fresh legs were actually able to keep up with Chris Paul and force a couple turnovers. Then Diaw schooled Posey a few times on the post, Grant Hill hit a couple jumpers, Bell got hot for a few minutes, then Nash came back in and screwed it up. 7 turnovers for Nash is unacceptable.

    Dont Sleep on Donnie Walsh - dude has put Curry and Starbury on the INACTIVE LIST!

  • I'm having a hard time not getting too excited about my Hornets right now, since it's only 3 games in and we actually have started 3-0 the past 3 years. But if CP-3, West, and Peja all stay healthy most of the season... best championship victory party America, nay the world, will have ever seen. Also Posey is looking like he was a great addition to the team - averaging more points than he did at Boston or Miami and playing the same good defense. b,121b,121b/wb,121b,121NBA strutter revealed!b,121b,121img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/133/422401678_3f7280b27c.jpg"1b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bf2e70d8.gif" alt=""1/1

    1) Lakers are playing defense this year.b,121b,1212) Derrick Rose is fast as shit.b,121b,1213) Beasley will probably take ROY.b,121b,1214) Mayo is fearless but his shooting percentage is low, like in college.b,121b,1215) Boston will not win the championship this year.b,121b,1216) Houston will be good but not that good.b,121b,1217) New Orleans is still very dangerous. Very capable of taking the West.

    Chauncey cant run w/ the Nuggets. Is Karl gonna slow down?

  • drewnicedrewnice 5,465 Posts
    Iverson brings another level of intensity to the Pistons who have been pretty lazy when it comes to crunch time. A.I. is still hungry for a title. Newly signed Maxiell fills the McDyess spot, Chauncey goes home to Denver. Sheed and The Answer in Battle of the Press Conferences! I like this trade a lot.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Stat-wise, yes...hunger for a championship this year, yes...b,121b,121b,121A good bit of analysis from a reader of The Detroit Free Pressb,121b,121i1You people that are criticizing Joe D deserve the label "Stupid fans". Here's a bit of info for you: Rasheed and Iverson's contracts are off the books at the end of this season. That means $35 million in cap space for the Piston's to use to snag a primo free agent or two. On top of that, it allows Amir, Maxiell and Hermann to get more playing time. They're all younger and more athletic than McDyess. Finally, Iverson is a much better player than Billups and Iverson's only a year older. The big picture is that Joe D just struck the lottery from a cap space perspective. Remember, not only does this allow the Piston's to pursue stud FA's, it also allows Joe to sign Stuckey to a nice extension.[/i]
