    Melo needs to grow up. He acts like his street cred is off the charts though he's back peddling in a fight. The dude just wanted to get into a fight because his ego is getting too big. I wish scola would stand up against him though that would gettt him suspended and ruin his image.

    Me too.

    I can just see our starting 5 being the most balanced scoring team in the league, probably even more so than the Spurs. Ideally, Mac, Yao and Artest's numbers will all take a plunge but increase in efficiency if Scola emerges as a legit 4th option. Then you have Alston chiming in with some 3s, just as long as he keeps those midrange bricks and teardrops to a minimum. Especially so with Rick's motion offense.

    It's highly probably that all 5 of our starters will be above the 13 ppg mark.

    Welcome to the sacramento kings of the adelman era. if you looked at there stats. almost every starter averaged in tyhe high or early teens. there game plan was to share the load equally and wear teams out.

    81-1 and championship. And I expect that one lost to be to Utah... Of course because the Rox forfeit,they are gonna be up by like 70 points,and they felt bad after seeing Ak47 crying.mwahahaha.

    Thanks God that manu was injuried before the game ,otherwise ,we would hardly win the game so easily . I mean ,we may win that but it wouldn't be that easy .And I hope Manu's injury will not be cured untill the spurs are wiped out in upcoming season's playoffs .

    To my caution that the argentina made some troubles to us in the 2nd quarter , which means we are not far better than the europe teams .The argentina should have the oppotunity to win us if Manu had been attendent .Then ,we 'd better pay more attention to Spain who won the world cup's championship without Gasol in the final ,even though we demolished them in the group .However , group games mean nothing ,The spain national team may be a different one in the final .Spain national is pretty good even without Gasol , so it' s reasonablly how horrible they are .After all , I still think teamUS have a 55 percent to win the game .But we must have one point solved , Pau. I don't think Melon is able to lock Pau up because of the size gap between the two guys , Carlos Boozer is to take the tough job .Chris Bosh may be ok though ,but i still prefer Boozer to match up with Pau and being totally eaten by Pau .Hell Carlos Boozer.

    It looked like a punch when I first saw it live but was probably more of a sissy shove.

    Well, the words for Manu wasn't very nice. And btw, are you American with all the "we"s? Well you don't sound like one.

    Nah, not Rafer. I still think Shane's gonna start in place of Ron, though.

    Melo is a sissy. We all remember his backpedalling days against the NY knicks. Acting tough then back pedalling when the going got tough. Pathetic , we all know how tough you are Melo.
