No Kobe!?

 

[Johnners]

nah, not a huge Kobe fan.

 

[Dravid]

But hes no longer a ball hog. There is a reason he changed his number.

 

[Johnners]

ball hog has nothing to do with it, just don't like him.

Not sure if Bogut will be a starter for East. He hasn't started the season all that well.

 

[Johnners]

Can always hope though can't I

Haha I saw that on ESPN. How embarrassing. Reminds me of the billion times Shawn Bradley would get blocked by people 2 feet shorter than him. I would have tears in my eyes...both from laughter and sadness.

on another note...you must be happy with the mav's resurgence, 6 straight games... dirk is pulling them out of the 0-4 hole they dug themselves into...

Yeah but I'm a bit skeptical. None of the wins have been against clubs with a winning record. The next few games will tell me a lot more. We have a tough back to back schedule followed by a road game to San Antonio. If we have shaken off this early season rust, then we need to win 2 of the next 3 (specially against the Spurs).

yeah it's early season yet and a lot of things can change....the spurs and the jazz are kicking some serious ass though....the way they are playing, if kirilenko, okur and boozer stay healthy, i think the jazz could be serious contenders for the title...

Well now we're talking. My Mavs may have shaken off that early season rust after all. They beat the Spurs last night and now have a 8 game win streak.

yeah i saw that game, the way they started off, it looked like developing into a rout, the spurs then came back in typical workmanlike fashion and kept it tight all the way in the second half...this is the best rivalry in the nba right now....

I agree. I'm probably biased, but the Mavs/Spurs playoff series last year was IMO one of the greatest playoff series of all time.

 

[Dravid]

Pistons on a 6-0 run...yeah baby!

 

[Dravid]

Haha Big Ben and his new coach Scott are on each others backs

duncan himself said it was the best series he had played in even though his team lost so there was no bias there...and the heightened intensity is showing even in these regular season games...did you see duncan's reaction when he put one in off the glass to draw the spurs level in the third quarter? it was almost playoff level aggro and intensity....
