Official NBA 2006-2007 season thread

I know it's a bit late but the Bucks have just put 3 together for the first time in a long time. Probably a bit of wishful thinking hoping they'll somehow make the 8 for their division. But while there's life, there's hope.

i'm also dreaming of something fictious' the Timberwovles making the 8 on the west side I know it wont happen but theres still hope

From Elias Sport Bureau:

• The Mavericks have won 50 of their last 55 games after starting the season 0-4. They are only the second team in NBA history to win 50 of 55 games within one season: the 1995-96 Bulls also won 50 of 55 games at one point. (By the way, no team in the history of either Major League Baseball or the NHL has ever won 50-of-55 in one season, either.)

Timberwolves management is full of idiots to be honest. They did nothing to make their franchise player happy and 99.9% he's leaving timberwolves end of the season

Me too! In all seriousness, regular season accomplishments, while nice and something to build off, really don't matter. It's what you do in the playoffs that counts obviously. That's why I'm still wary of the Spurs. They have a heart of a champion and my money says that they'll put it together by the time the playoffs come around. I still think the top 3 teams in the West are Dallas, Phoenix, and San Antonio - in that order.

well if KG is leaving then i'm leaving he is the only good player the Timberwovles have and they just kept him at the end of last season and i'll be very suprised to see him stay

Anyone else notice the dissapearance of Turb with the Raptors losing a few? The Wizards are giving them a nice touchup today.

Anyway, another Lebron show yesterday, with the assitance of Hughes to get the Cavs over the line agains the Rockets in Mings return game. If Hughes & James really start to gel as a combination it'll go a long way to improving the Cavs chances in the playoffs.

*chanting* Raptors suck, raptors suck, raptors suck.

How'd ya know ?

Mannn, this sucks, we'll still make the playoffs, and we're still quite a decent team good enough to cause an upset any time any place , but I wanted a good respectable record to go along with it. We're just going through a rough patch and it will soon be dealt with.................. I hope .

Mann, I am still waiting for April 13th... !

Anyways, hopefully Dallas beat NJ, which is quite likely, so they don't cut down on us.

[Dravid]

Btw, turd, didnt I like tell you raptors will lose.

[Turbinator]

Ummmm .................................................. .................................................. ................................. *runs away*.


EDIT: It's funny how you all come out when Raps start losing but don't respond to my boasting when they are winning .

Plus Dravid you also told me a while back that Raps would lose atleast 3 out of their next 5 games, and in fact they ended up winning 3/4 of them.

NBA has been easy on primma donnas in the past and its about time they applied their laws uniformly.

He is one of my most fav players post MJ era.

There we go again..As I said..Kobe deliberately does this.

[Dravid]

A laker fan I know laughed when he heard the decision to suspend him. As a non laker fan, I laughed too at the decision to suspend him.
