Stern's just happy because the Lebron "Decision" was the best thing that happened to the NBA in terms of getting people interested in a long time. More interest of course means more money and more money means statements like that.

Yeah, but keep in mind if the Heat don't win a championship...well I couldn't think of anything at the moment.

Well we won't know what will happen until the playoffs which the Heat will almost surely make barring injuries, or out of the blue criminal charges. (Free Lebron! He didn't rape that woman!) If the Heat make the finals though, it won't matter if they win or lose. Most of the country will be tuned in to watch (most of them wanting the Heat to lose) and again you can see the dollar signs in David Stern's eyes.

Here's to the Nets turning it around to make the playoffs this year.

If the Nets even make a few games over .500, the coach should win the COTY award.

Basketball tournament in 9 days.

Hnnng

I hope the Bulls will get Carmelo Anthony somehow, can't guarantee anything but still.

Here's hoping the Bucks can compete this year

We're moving on up

Hey guys I just saw the globetrotters today and got a couple of pictures with them

Did they do the old bucket of water trick?

Yeah! I didn't get splashed though because I was sitting in the 9th row or something

Awesome I can touch a 3.06 rim (from a 2 leg or 1 leg jump) and I'm 183cm tall (237cm reach). That's like a 70cm (27') vertical jump!

Can I join?
I like the Celtics.

And I now like Shaq. :3

So Charlie Villanueva got all pissed because he said KG called him a "cancer patient" and that's offensive to people with cancer (Which I don't think is particularly true, because people going through chemo would probably agree that CV looks like he's been going through it because he has alopecia)...and KG replied, and I quote:

""My comment to Charlie Villanueva was in fact 'You are cancerous to your team and our league,'" Garnett said. "I would never be insensitive to the brave struggle that cancer patients endure."

I lol'd.

Have any of you guys picked up NBA Jam? It's so much fun to have Obama dunk on Hillary Clinton.

I know it's early in the season and I'm not a Knicks fan but did those butt monkeys of NBA just became good so far?

I saw an article about him on nba.com and thought about him teaming up with Blake Griffin in LA. That would be interesting, but I'd rather Griffin came to Denver and played with Melo :P

Still, I can dream - we sat the Heat down pretty well and we'll see how this works out with Melo. If we can get a team together that will win a championship, he might just stay... We may have blown that one, which is a shame.

The Bulls go on to make it three losses in a row for the Heat and Bosh gets injured which will cause them more problems down the line. Good times.

Chicago's defense has significantly improved. Good for them. Can't say I feel sympathy for South Beach.

Almost a month without a post... But this is worth a bump (if its true).

For the lazy... Jerry Sloan is apparently resigning. That's right, the Jazz will have a new head coach for the first time in quite a while.

I can't believe it, to be honest.

Wow, I never saw that coming - It's official now that Sloan has stepped aside. The local media are saying it's good timing, but it seems to me that they're trying to keep a level head on things, since they don't want to run around like headless chickens. 31-23 isn't an awful record, but it might help to stabilise the ship, before making a shot at the playoffs.

Ray Allen should become the all time 3 point king tonight, as the Celtics host the Lakers. Who better to break an NBA record against? Seriously, this guy is the model professional and it really does show the benefit of practice.

RAY ALLEN: THE 3PT KING!

According to the website Did the Cavs win Last Night, the Cavs won!

Twenty six straight losses; a mark I'm sure the Cavs will break again in no time. :P

My high school's basketball team has a chance to become league champions tomorrow. All we have to do is win tomorrow's game against a team that's 6-12 and we'll win our first league championship since 1981. It's pretty exciting stuff.

Carmelo is going to the Knicks. ... finally.

I still don't know why he wants to go there, since the Knicks, as they are, still can't beat the top four in the East.

I was hoping that he'll go to the Bulls, oh well.

The next thing the Knicks need to do is to extend his contract.

If anyone cared about it, my school's team ended up winning the game and became conference champions. Tomorrow we're going to be playing against a local school for the first post-season match-up. A loss will send our boys home for the rest of the season. It's intense stuff. I'm really hoping they make it to the state championship this year.

Oh and here's a photo I took of the crowd during the game. We have some awesome fan support.

Apparently, because they have a shot at winning a championship. Only time will tell. Shame, I'll miss him and move on.

Speaking of which, there was a robbery yesterday, with Portland stealing a win from us, 107-106. It was our game to lose and we found a way. The feeling seems to be mutual with both teams playing at Pepsi Center at the moment :P

Well, looks like that dream is never going to be realized. My boys lost to a team with a record of 7-13. It was embarrassing. I'm heart-broken.
