Wow what a game. It was rough, it looked like a heat vs knicks game from 6-7 years ago. Too bad Van Gundy doesn't have the tougher team this time, maybe that's why his b*tching so much.

Minnesota got lucky last night, hit some lucky shots....that series should be 2-2, but Bzdelik drew up a f-d up play coming out of a timeout to win the game...thats the time where you come off a double screen of the wing or a high screen and roll and dish out to the open man...

tonight, I'm expecting a BIG game from GP and Karl...hopefully the ref's wont call p*ssy calls to limit him

One down, three to go.

12 more wins...buckle up for this ride

Phil's out, but is offered a position as VP of Basketball Operations, Mitch is feeling heat from Dr. Buss. Shaq's demanding a trade...or bluffing. And everybody is opting out to raise the payroll exeed the salary cap just as much as the knicks are at...buckle up for this ride

As long as they resign Kobe and Derek Fisher, that's all that matters. They'll have a good young nucleus with Kareen Rush, Devean George, Luke Walton and Brian Cook. I'd like to see Karl back for another year at least, but if his body won't hold up, what good is he? Same with Horace Grant. They need to get some younger guys in there. Obviously, I'd like to see them keep Shaq, but if they can get good value for him (which basically means Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, or Jermaine O'Neal and Al Harrington or Ron Artest), it isn't worth it. There will be a lot of changes this year, and I just hope they see the light and go back to their old way of signing good role players who execute and play solid defense (like the Pistons did) rather than loading up on stars a la the Kings and Blazers and Mavericks.

whoever chooses Ben Gordon in the draft, struck gold...whatever team passes should be fined

[loseyourname]

Well, the Pistons passed on Carmelo Anthony, and they still won the title.

[jilbagh]

good thing they traded for rasheed wallace and went through a deeply injured indiana team to get to the finals...plus carmelo would've gotten pissed cause of the playing time he wouldn't get in that sorry as s town

[jilbagh]

ben gordon isn't even being mentioned in the lottery..this is sad, he's going to be a elite pg in a year or 2..mark my words. looks like the lakers are going to pick up sasha vujoic, which has gotten great scouting reports. he can play 3 positions on the floor and can spot up shoot. I can't wait to see what losers are gonna be chosen on Thursday! Thursday! Thursday! after about the 16-17th pick, I dont see anyone worthy of the guaranteed 3 year contract 1st rounders get
