From what I've read, it seems like Harris was significantly handcuffed by Senator Kohl as to who he can trade. He may have been able to get decent value for Redd at the deadline, as well as include one of their horrific contracts. Now they are pretty well stuck in mediocre mode, getting around the 7th-8th pick in the draft the next few years. Yeah Redd puts asses in the seats, but there are some pretty good perimeter players in this years draft that will be gone when they select.

I'm surprised ESPN didn't sneak in a link to Simmons pitching himself as his replacement.

i think after Miami scoring 54 in last nite's game, the NBA needs to do away with the lottery and just put make it one ping pong ball per team and open the odds of getting the #1 overall pick to every team. this isn't professional basketball. i had thought higher of Pat Riley, but not any longer.

Celtics once again showing how much they would struggle if they were in the West. Up 82-70 against the Hornets right now.

Shrug. Still 22-5 against the all-powerful West.

That's not bad at all - I imagine most of those top 9 beat up on each other and pad their record against the bottom half of the West, and the East. The only numbers that really matter for the Celtics are 55-14, and #1 seed in the East. Which compared to 25-58 (their record last year), means at least one giddy Celtics fan in Boise no matter what happens from here. Last edited by molson : 03-22-2008 at 10:31 PM. |

How about Shaq and Amare tonight? Amare had 38 and 13 with 4 blocks. Shaq had 23 and 13, while hitting 7-9 free throws

Dirk out for at least 2 weeks as a result of the injury today. Dallas Schedule for next 2 weeks:
Clippers 3/25 at Denver 3/27 at Golden State 3/30 at Clippers 3/31 Golden State 4/2 at Lakers 4/4 at Phoenix 4/6 Denver won today so they're only 2 games in the loss column behind Dallas and GS. Denver and GS also play each other two more times this season. Who makes the playoffs as the 7th and 8th seeds? |

In the last couple of weeks, we've seen these fourth quarters in the New Orleans Arena: Hornets 24, Spurs 8 Hornets 33, Bulls 13 Hornets 31, Rockets 10 Hornets 32, Celtics 17 Being a Hornet season ticket holder, it's not possible to put into words the difference in atmosphere between now and the beginning of the season when we were drawing in the 8-12,000 range. New Orleans just might be arriving as an NBA town. |

The next night these two teams matched up again in another very entertaining game. A terrible shame that the refs messed it up at the end and gave the game to the Lakers on a horrible call.

I've been meaning to ask -- I didn't get to watch the game. Was the call that bad?

Yes. Derek Fisher had Monta Ellis in a bear hug and pulled him down by the back of the jersey. The ref on the baseline, who couldn't see Monta's back, called the foul on Ellis. The ref who had a perfect view from 10 feet away stood there looking like the village idiot. It was almost as dumb as Lamar Odom getting a lane violation on the 1st of 2 FT's.

I should add that Monta Ellis is probably #3 or 4 ony my list of man-crushes for NBA players. Obviously LeBron being number one, Dwight Howard at #2, then there's 4-5 other guys I like to watch a ton.

Monta became my favorite player not long after the W's drafted him out of high school. He is very fun to watch and his game just keeps getting better. What a steal he was in the second round. If he were entering the draft this year as a junior, is there any doubt he would be a lottery pick?

Once Monta starts getting the D-Wade bullshit superstar calls, we'll be looking at at least a 25ppg scorer. I think he could stand to bulk up a little bit, as well. Definitely a fun guy to watch, and I think it's pretty cool how he stopped shooting threes cause he knew it wasn't the strength of his game. He needs to call LeBron and talk him out of shooting 3s as well.

That just means they'll move him back to the broadcast booth. And you thought he was bad at being a GM......
I think they should let Isiah be Hilary's VP. At least that would be a job he wouldn't be able to screw up. |

Knicks are controlled by Dolan. as long as he's the owner then it wouldn't matter if Red Auerbach was the GM. still, it'll be nice for a fresh change, to say the least. East is too wide open for even a cellar dwellar not to be able to turn it around in one season. in any given season the 6-8 spots are always up for grabs.

If you asked me on November who would be the top 3 teams in the West at this point in the season, the Hornets, Lakers, and Rockets would not even be in the top 3.
It is indeed the Wild Wild West out there.

Suns shot 56% to Boston's 52% and lost by 20. Sheesh, turnovers and lack of rebounding killed them. Barbosa was horrid as well. When this team's sloppy, they can lose to anyone (esp a very good team at their place).

How about that Chemistry in Milwaukee? Bogut knocks down the FT and has to give himself a couple of high-fives:

Might this be the result of hard feeling from his comments last offseason?

I don't think he complains nearly as much as he should. We get a lot of Bucks games over here (surprise), and so often Bogut is playing well and scoring inside when suddenly Redd and Mo Williams turn in to black holes and stop passing the ball inside.

The Suns-Nuggets game tonight might be the craziest I've seen all season. Phoenix was down 22 in the 2nd and 19 at half after shooting 30%. They looked terrible. In the second half, Phoenix outscored Denver 81-47 on almost 80% shooting (8-10 from 3s) and won by 15. Nash had 36 points on 8-12 shooting from 3 and Amare had 41 and 14. The Suns went on a 52-23 run through the end of the 3rd and into the 4th.
