Lose to the Bucks badly and you win the NBA Championship right?? or isn't that the formula? I for one think the Zen man planned this out.

Blake Griffin is a flat out monster. 16 straight double doubles, and a NASTY alley-oop off a half court lob from Baron Davis. Check out the highlights, he almost hits the back of his foot on the backboard when he's swinging on the rim. Simply unreal, to me he's the most exciting player in the NBA this year hands down.

That's what I despise about Billups' game:
J.R.Smith hits nothing but net from three on at least his last two shots, Lawson equally hot, Nene matched up against Splitter and he goes up for a transition three with nobody in rebound position. Spurs now down nine after the 3rd as the Melo-less Nugs get some separation.

Nuggets up 89-80 in San Antonio after the 3rd Q, without Carmelo.
And yet I have no faith that they will actually win.

They gave up 89 in three quarters? Is this championship caliber basketball?

On another note, Blake Griffin has 24 and 17 with about a minute left in the game, which means that's 17 straight double doubles for him!

Rumor has it that's he's easy to coach too. I'd take Griffin in a heartbeat. The kid's game is just sick, and talent like that combined with size and athleticism is rare. He is special, no doubt. Too bad it's wasted playing for a douche like Sterling.

I hope the dude has a great career...but I expect you would be dissappointed if you took him that way. It appears to me that guys who completely rely on atheleticism have pretty a pretty short shelf life.
Hopefully he will be the exception.

From the Hollinger chat..
------
Tee (Charlotte)
Jackson, Gerald Wallace, and DJ.....who is staying and who's getting traded?
John Hollinger (2:43 PM)
Have to think Cap'n Jack is the most likely of the 3 to go, given his age and desirability to contending teams. Wallace is 50-50 -- trade rumors have been around for a while, but he's also the face of that franchise and at 28 he's not exactly a fossil. Augustin is expendable, but will go only if it can facilitate the dumping of a bad contract like Diop, Najera or Carroll.
-----
All ex-Mavs!! Man, have the franchises we've traded with most submarined or what (NJ, Washington and Charlotte).. I suppose most were in rebuild mode but I take it as a sign, the Mavs have been the winning end of each trade.

Very true, he seems like a natural leader with a great work ethic as well, always making sure his teammates know the situation and stuff. Last night against the Rockets, towards the end of the game, he was reminding his teammates that they were out of timeouts. Gotta love that from such a young and talented player.

True, he could end up fizzling out, but he's got the talent as well as his raw athleticism. He's been hitting jumpshots fairly well as of late, and his spin moves and fadeaway jumpers in the post have been deadly. He can still be effective even without jumping out of the building and the crazy alley-oops.
I'm pretty sure that he has stayed healthy, other than the knee injury last year, so it's not as if he's an injury prone Greg Oden type player.

Don't know how likely a comeback is at this point. It's beginning of the 4th quarter, and they are down by 21 playing their scrubs. I get the feeling that Pop isn't going to play his starters again, except in the unlikely event that the scrubs spark a comeback.

I think the key to the magic deal is arenas. The magic need to push the hell out of the ball and muck it up...When they need a half-court score they have it with Howard...
He's also easily fast enough to get up and down the court...

Both J Rich and Gilbert are great players in transition, Hedo is good in the half court and gives them a creator

Glad we played the Magic when we did. They looked much more in tune with each other tonight.

Suns are done...
Spurs helped the magic look that good. Their defense sucks.

That too.
I think I'm gonna get tickets to the game vs the Spurs next week and making it a full sports day. I'm going to a bowl game that morning and will hopefully be celebrating a football win as I walk into the AAC.

No every defense has an off night or the offense goes baserk and hits shots, while SA's defense isn't what its been in the past its average they are last in opponent free throw attempts and middle in pack in oppenents fg%

So who is everybody rolling with tomorrow? At the beginning of the season I couldn't imagine any scenario where I'd root for the Heat but that was before I realized that we had a realistic shot at finishing ahead of the Lakers. A four game lead in the loss column would be huge so, as much as it pains me, I'm rolling with Lebron/Wade and Bosh.

I'm still hoping for a broken leg for diva, can't root for the heat... The lakers don't concern me nearly as much as the spurs do. We'll be right there at the end for the best record, only the spurs could knock us around.

Heat, no question. I am one of those who doesn't wish them any ill will--really at all, but certainly not in the regular season. I think their storyline has made it a better league to follow.
Any Lakers loss is a good loss.
