NBA 2006 Yee Haw

AF,

I still think SA is in trouble in the long haul, they simply have not upgraded their bench. Any type of lasting or lingering injury will cripple them. I did see where they played Bonner, finally! but 35 min a game for Tim will take its toll I am sure.

We will see, its early, I wish them well for I like Duncan but reasonably I just can't see them being there at the end of the year.

AF,

I just finished watching the SA - Phx game and I must say I was impressed with Oberto. Should he continue to play like that I will have to retract my earlier statements about S.A. being a Tim and Tony team and place back in the running for the West.

SBC have you seen Kobe this year? New duds, a new start and a new fan base. :tongue3: And what about that weird kid who went to NO what was his name? Oh yeah, Chandler. He seems to be coming around course he is not an all star yet. :smilewinkgrin:

Also why is Flip still in Detroit? Seeing his days are numbered he'll be gone before February is my guess.

Da bulls 2-2 its a longgggg time till March.

What’s wrong with Dallas is anyone’s guess? But as always, I have two cents worth of input on a ten dollar question. :smilewinkgrin:

I believe the answer to the problem is the bench. I do not know where Van Horn is but he is not with the team, they lost Daniels and Deavan George has been hurt and now Howard is out. Their leading preseason scorer, Ager, has not left the bench except in cameo appearances and Stackhouse can no longer carry a team off the bench.

And the answer is, drum roll please, play Ager and let him shoot, shoot, shoot you need points off the bench and Ager is a scorer plain and simple. Hopefully George will add depth at the 3 which is also Howard’s spot.

Other than that fire the coach :tongue3: . I love that part.

Whats up with Isaiah Thomas and the Knicks? Crawford seems to be the only guy playing big time basketball. How the mighty have fallen with Francis and Starbury? Makes one wonder who outsmarted who on all those trades a couple of years ago.

Al Jefferson with the C's sure has had a string of bad luck the last two years last year he could not get his ankle to heal and now he will miss 4-6 weeks after an emergency appendectomy.

SBC,

I am not sure the Bulls are heading in the right direction yet. They certainly seem to have great athleticism but at this time do not seem to have a closer. I have had the opportunity to see them play on TV a couple of times and have not seen a dominant offensive presence at crunch time. Gordon though good is still inconsistent and for Heinrich to be the closer he will have to become better at penetrating and scoring with two or three men determined to stop him. They truly need a PF or SF who can take charge. At this point PJ or Deng do not seem to be what they need and Thomas is still a couple of years away.

They are certainly a player in the playoffs but I am more skeptical now than earlier in the year of their chances to do damage.

After seeing some of the rumors going around and after reading of Shaq’s surgery I predict that Fratello will be removed as head coach of Memphis and that Riley will hire him at Miami to replace himself and provide a handy scapegoat for a lost season. Hopefully that will allow Wright and Wade to play and up tempo style though Fratello is still pretty old school in that regard.

Nelson is doing well at GS and I for one am glad. Also I am in agreement with you concerning the Knicks. Let them lose, let them lose, let them lose I think is how the Christmas song goes.
But I drafted Crawford on my fantasy team so I really need him to do well.

The C’s have three in a row and Kobe is developing into a different player Yeah!
