(and no i don't want the golden state warriors or nuggest often).

That was a street game, I tell you

Sure, the Nuggets can score a ton, but on the defensive ends they are equally inept the other way around. And no, against the Nuggets we won't try to run with them, that's not how we won most games. The Nuggets run alot of one-on-one for AI and Melo, and they love to bury you in fast breaks. I think both Kobe and Fisher, or even Luke are more than capable to handle their own man. The rest is down to rebounding and not turning the ball over. As long as we control the ball and tempo, the Nuggets cannot run thus they cannot do what they love to do.
I don't think Bynum will be back at all in the playoffs. I'd rather see him all healed and rested up for next season. There is no point in rushing back and get hurt again. He still has at least 10 years in him. So just get healed up first, big guy.
By the way, if you are opposing coach and if the game is close in the closing seconds, a note to you... always foul Odom and send him to the line! If anyone on the Lakers who can't really handle the pressure, that would be Odom. Just look at his eyes if the game is close in the final seconds... he almost always have this "don't give me the ball" look on his face. And I've seen a few too many missed shots from the line in such situation. Other than that (like it is not bad enough
), he is a scary third opinion and is an above average rebounder.

I know, but I thought that is a pretty interesting coincident there. So we will see how he bounces back in year # 6. I enjoyed watching him and I hope he ain't going to throw us a Penny Hardaway the rest of the way...

He's a greedy role player... and Marion- psh... that asshole is laughing all the way to the bank.

Let's see how the Mavs fair against the Hornets. They went 2-2 in the season. I know it is just me, but Kidd's 37% shooting % will hurt his team big time eventually.
As for Marion, let's see how he is going to handle his extension talks with the Heat. I heard the Heat will only offer him around the $10M per season range. If I were him, I would take it. Seriously, I don't think I would offer him more than $8M per if I were a GM.

See, this is the thing, man. Even if you HAVE the money to shell out, there is NO such league pass package available in HK, man. It sucks major balls!!!
Well, a piece of a good news is that, I heard a TV station here will also carry at least one more game per week. So there are a total of FOUR!!!
Man... I want to cry...
Back in the day when I was still living in AZ, I used to have the league pass thing, and that WAS awesome!!!
I think I might have turned down a couple dates because there were great games on
