    Watched the whole game too. But did anyone catch all the calls/non-calls that went in favor of Ducan? I never wanted to believe the "star treatment" thing, but last night it was so obvious. TD got away with murders on the board (over the back, elbow on the head etc.), and shot free throws while clearly nobody touched him. Yao would have been fouled out by the refs.

    David Stern, you better do something about your league or more people will turn watching college basketball instead :mad:

    we might have trouble playing against the warriors. I think it was Mike Dun who posted up against either beno or brent barry. he made quite few shot. We just gotta play our game, don't run with the warriors.

    Am I the only one loving teams like the Jazz and Warriors playing this well? I know it'll make things tougher for the Rockets in the long run, but I'm loving watching this fun basketball.

    It's the Warriors, people. They're 1-3 on the road and still can't play defense. In December, they play 10 of 15 on the road that includes a back to back at San Antonio and Houston and a 5 game in 7 night East Coast roadie. Don't worry, by the new year, they'll be treading .500 at best and Nellie will be on the chopping block.

    Word. But, the mavs are trash now? :rolleyes: I agree though that fat old man does know how to coach offense. Even Andris Biedrins is making over 81% FT the past three game :eek: Donne has yet proven he take turn teams into real contenders. But he'll make a believer out of me once he can make Andris a three point shooter ;)

    Wasn't true that last year every body was saying the same thing to the clippers when they finannly appeared to be close to a playoff spot? It's the clippers, people. Nah, it was jusy a fluke, they won't make the playoff. Book it. Where are those people in the end ;)

    Seriously, if you have followed the Warriors this year, you will be reminded as a team something similar to Suns a year or two ago. They run they shot yes they do not defend too much but they can outscore you and they have young promising stars Elis and Biedrens arising from the horizon, and most importantly they have a great coach this year, a coach who knows how to run offense. Maybe they are not contender yet, but certainly they will be a force in this year's incredible west conference playoff race

    Well first, the Clippers actually played defense. The Warriors are about middle of the pack. One game they'll allow 120, the next game they'll allow 80, so they're inconsistent at best, horrible at worst. The Suns have a two time MVP and have won 62 and 54 games the last two years, so comparing them to the Warriors doesn't make much sense. Steve Nash makes everybody around him better. Baron Davis makes Baron Davis better...

    The one thing that the Clippers and Suns both had last year and the year before, respectively, is a strong inside presence. The Warriors don't have anything close to a 04/05 Amare or 05/06 Brand. Guard oriented teams generally don't fare as well over the course of a season as teams with a strong post scorer.

    Maybe they can lobby the league for a temporary pass to the Eastern Conference. :)

    You never noticed 'star treatment' before? Do you just never watch the NBA playoffs?
