Okay, are we gonna play short term memory? Chicago has been the toughest out in the playoffs for the past few years. Why??? Because even though short on stars, nobody rebounds and defends as well to a man as they do. Now add 18/10 guy Carlos Boozer and. 3 pt. Specialist Kyle Korver to the mix, and folks are still sleep on us? D Rose of last year is not the same as D. Rose this year, and we are still a top 3 defensive and rebound team. The Knicks are not deep, nor are they defensive minded... and since we are talking about what doesn't work in the post season, let's talk about D'Antoni and his scheme. Yeah... we all know how that holds up. After all, the Cavs did drop 115 on em... or have we forgotten this as well???

lol. Good one.
The only thing Arroyo brought for the Heat was a spot-up jump-shot, and Miami already has enough of those guys. Chalmers is not only a good jump-shooter, but plays great D and has the athletic ability to get to the rim. I don't blame Spoelstra for not playing him anymore.
And speaking of PG play, Mike Bibby is expected to sign with the Heat.

all i can say is the knicks were 2-0 against Chicago this year. And they took the Cavs too lightly the other day. but win over the heat yesterday sent a message to the league that the knicks are a team to be recogn with. Only time will tell whether the Knicks are legit or not. they got a match up against the magic tomorrow and the bulls again in april.
Unless the Knicks end up the 6th or 7th seed, the Bulls won't be seeing them, and that Knicks team had the Bulls number... this one doesn't. Is that to say the old Knicks were better? No, but they were better built to beat the Bulls.
lakers back on track...4-0 since the break...and still no one is talking about the spurs, parker out for 2 weeks, tough games coming up for the spurs
The Lakers pushed the Wolves around yesterday like they were playing a JV squad. Although I like him, the more I see that "team" play the more it becomes evident Rambis needs to go.

Imo Laimbeer would probably do a better job than Rambis.
no need to panic NBA FANS your BACK TO BACK CHAMPS R back in action after some much need R&R here in the city of angels... YOUR BACK TO BACK CHAMPS face his airness team and we are getting tire of losing to them. bobcats better know their role and BOW DOWN TO YOUR BACK TO BACK CHAMPS tonight @ staples center.... CHAMPS BY 11
really? the knicks lost to the cavs for the second time in less than two weeks. they are a tale of two teams. sometimes they look like they can beat anyone and sometimes they lose to crappy teams. come on, step it up melo and amare.
Tale of two teams?? Seems like 1 team who can't play D to me. The Knicks are barely over .500 and people are acting like they're already in the conference championships. Hilarious.
Spurs slapped the shit out of Miami and basically told the rest of the league who their daddy is.
Chicago whooped Orlando. How the mighty have fallen. If the Magic aren't hitting their 3's they're weak. Real weak.
Boston beat Golden State. Obv.
Dallas beat Indiana. Obv.
Lakers squaked by Charlotte. But a win is a win.
I'm calling an L.A - Chicago final. Because why the fuck would I pick the Spurs?
Spurs vs BACK TO BACK CHAMPS this sunday NUFF SAID
Big win by the Bulls last night, and another open-handed bitch slap given to the Heat. This is where Chicago makes a run for first in the East. Let's see how they can fair down the stretch with this rather rough schedule.
Attention New York Knicks: You can't cheat the game. If you guys think you can just offense your way to a title run or a dynasty, you're just lying to yourself. No rebounding and half-ass defense can't and won't get it done.

the next few games for 8 games will tell how good the miami heat are. they played two good teams already and lost. so not a good start.
the nets and raptors games has gone pretty well the past two days. good way for the nba to introduce themselves internationally.

I agree with firing Triano, but Bargnani is our franchise player and main offensive threat, so we cannot afford to give him up. What the Raptors need to do is sign Marc Gasol this offseason and move Bargs from centre so he doesn't need to worry so much about defence. Do that, and the Raptors will be stronger automatically.
