Re: NBA Western Conference Poll
 

The three reasons I will go to a Sonics game this year:

Watch Ray Allen shoot
Watch Danny Fortson enforce
Watch Nick Collison and Reggie Evans hustle

Ray Ray is just sick. Trade Rashard Lewis, Jerome James (expired contract + money balance), and a pick for J-Kidd and that team is the sixth seed in the West.

The Jazz are very strong this year. Their half court offense is awesome.

The Warriors are one of the most poorly managed franchises in all of professional sports. It is becoming clear that Chris Mullin, while a great player, is a stone idiot. It will take years to recover from the disaster he has forced upon Golden State.

Why? you dont think adonal foyle is worth $40 mil

Re: NBA Western Conference Poll
 

It gets better. Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy were both scheduled to become free agents next year. C Mull was so worried that he would lose these two in free agency that he signed Richardson a 6 year, $70m deal, and Murphy to 6 year, $58m deal.

Have you ever heard of Troy Murphy? Didn't think so. You wanna know why? Cuz he's a medium sized slow guy who can't shoot from the floor, can't shoot free throws and is a kind of mediocre rebounder. Oh yea, and he's always injured.

So anyways, Jarhead is so worried that some other team will snap up these stars in the making that he cripples the Warriors for the next 5 years, at a minimum. Like anyone is going to give these two clowns (murphy and richardson) that kind of money on the free agent market.

the western conference was so two years ago.

lol, you know I've been to Lansing. I also went to a club in Burton (Flint), before the Pistons won it all last year. The DJ was quite the Piston's fan, and I had to put a stop to all his Billups hype! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The West is making a comeback this year, and the Pistons may not even be around to see it by the Finals. Btw, not at all a Piston's hater. In fact, last year I was picking them to win it all halfway through the season. It's not going to happen this year, unfortunately.

A team from the West will win the title. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Re: NBA Western Conference Poll
 

You are right about Murphy, but Richardson is tight man.

Re: NBA Western Conference Poll
 

How many of these teams have any chance against a healthy Spurs or T-Wolves teams in a 7-game playoff series? Oh yeah, that's right, none.

Re: NBA Western Conference Poll
 

don't get to excited just yet. Phoenix, Utah, and Dallas can all compete with those two teams, easily.

Re: NBA Western Conference Poll
 

Phoenix, are you serious??? They've played 2 teams that are any good at all (Cleveland and Sacto) and they lost them both. They would get their ASS handed to them. Utah and Dallas might be able to compete, but ultimately simply don't have the horses to handle TD or KG. (or the Defense)
