and my point is that they wouldn't have made it past the WCF if another player on the wolves was healthy in that series malone was still good to go if lebron is in miami no way they dont win a championship in the next 2-3 years..its gonna be scripted almost for them to get one thats the stupid part of it all. wade gets BS calls on his own, lebron gets BS calls on his own, imagine the two of them getting BS calls together...miami will be shooting Fts right after the jump ball
They may not have that chemistry next year, but these guys are in their prime and have a good have 5-6 years left in their tank. I say they win atleast 2 when it's all said and done.....barring major injuries.
So you're saying that if healthy, the team of Garnett/Sprewell/Cassell + scrubs would have ended up going to the Finals, I don't really see how we're disagreeing.
They've played together for the US team extensively and during all-star games. I don't see chemistry being an issue. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a return to Cleveland.
The end of the season has arrived and it appears that I was wrong about Kevin Martin. At first I was quite shocked because my predictions never fail to come true. Once I came to grips with this though, I engaged in self reflection and realized that even the best statisticians are wrong sometimes due to outliers, or that perhaps I made a rounding or clerical error along the way. So in an attempt to better myself, I went back to review my calculations so that this never, ever happens again. I was quite shocked to discover that, in fact, I had not performed any calculations at all on this topic. This was highly irregular so I struggled to recall what had happened, and then I remembered that shortly before I made my prediction, the Rockets had traded my two favorite players and I was extremely upset about it. My prediction that Kevin Martin would shoot less than 40% turned out to be more of an emotional guess than the results of detailed analysis. Yet as a statistical genius I know that emotion should never be involved. Statistics should be all detail, no emotion. This was a critical error that I will never make again. However, I am a man of my word and I stand utterly defeated by HtownBBall. For a time it seemed as if Kevin Martin would not be able to finish the season, granting me victory. But then he came riding in on a stallion like Aragorn and the warrior kings of old, battling through injuries to shoot 42.9%. How cruel fate can be. So it would seem that I must retire. However, if HtownBBall and everyone else would accept my humble apologies, I would pledge to dedicate myself to my craft in the offseason, studying extensively so that something like this never, ever happens again. There is still so much ground to cover, delightful wonders such as pie charts and bar graphs, that it would be a shame to waste my talents. But ultimately if the wounds are too deep and I can't be forgiven, I would at least ask that I be allowed to retire gracefully of my own free will rather than being banned, so that at least I could still read the forum from time to time.
lol at Knicks. After all those years of clearing cap space and all the hype all that have to show for it is Amare. Those picks look nice!!!!
Best tweet I have seen re: Lebron James OnlineTHUG "sources say LeBron James is leanin towards miami" dat doesnt mean ****! Magic Johnson was leanin toward death wit AIDS but is still alive
TOTALLY! This is potentially a top ten pick. Good luck Knicks with Amare not playing defense, not rebounding and winning 32 games next year!!!!!
I think the Lee for Randolph,Azubuike,Turiaf, or some similar variation will help them make it to the playoffs,but I doubt if they will go very far.
Really? Those guys plus Amare equal playoffs? Sorry, Steve Nash will not be walking through that door....
If the Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike and Ronny Turiaf for Lee trade goes through. Douglas, Chandler, Rautins Gallo, Azubuike Amare, Fields Randolph, Turiaf
You're right,Nash won't be there,but it's still possible for them to get a decent PG by trading Chandler. I don't see them getting past the 1st round.
Sounds good, we trade Jeffries and Battier + picks for Amare, then they buy Battier out and he re-signs with us.
