For the past years, coaches have always been the scapegoats for team failure. This season seems kind of weak, especially in the West. Houston is like second place and they don't even have a great record. Mediocre, at best. : ( 22

The Houston Rockets are not playing with their full potential. :(
I hope that they trade T Mac for someone who does not get hurt every 10 seconds.

Pft, it is the odd year again, never write off the Spurs, especially in odd years.

I'm starting to think Utah could really afford to not re-sign Boozer now. Look what Paul Millsap's been doing lately. That proposes an interesting situation once Boozer returns from his quad injury. Personally, I'd start lining up some trade offers for him. Millsap can put up some real decent numbers offensively, and he's not a complete liability defensively like Boozer is.

Fortunately, Millsapmis in my fantasy team as well along with Paul Gasol and both had a big day yesterday. I just hope that Boozer will return by March so that I can mount a late season charge.

Well, that sucked - led all of the game and then with 20 seconds to go, Tayshaun Prince hits the shot to give the Pistons a lead they would not submit

Well, I guess you're right. I was out of my mind and forgot the whole history.

Also, Boston sucks and a lot sucker because of their last 10 games record. What the hell they are doing. They are losing their rhythm and their usual gameplay. Not a Celt fan though.

Boozer is requesting too much. I think its best to sign and trade or don't re-sign him at all. Especially since he's injured once again and we all know how his career has been with injuries. Not a healthy player.

As for Boston, they lost their confidence the day they lost to the Lakers on Christmas. I think they need some help from the bench. : ( 23

I couldn't agree more. He's getting to the point where any little injury could sideline him. He could get a lot of money somewhere if he signs somewhere else, so I'm sure he wants to come back completely healthy if he wants that lucrative contract. I'm sure he'll get it somewhere. I'm just not sure if it's going to be Utah giving it to him.

Also, he just had another knee surgery and could miss another month of play. Not looking good for him and looking a lot better for Millsap.

They just need a swift kick in the ass! Bench Garnett! Start Scalabrine!

LOLLERS

In all seriousness, I think they can turn it around. But you're completely right in saying that they need help from their bench. Garnett, Pierce and Allen can only give you so much every night. It's time for guys like Leon Powe and Glen Davis to step up their play. Also, it seems as if Rajon Rondo may have hit a little speed bump as well.

The stunning court papers claim Curry, a married father of three, repeatedly approached chauffeur David Kuchinsky "in the nude," allegedly telling him, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave."

Your statement here gave me a little scare. At least it's just a bruised knee. It's nothing like Boozer's been going though. He should be good to in a game or two.

More like LOLLERSKATES! Seriously, where do the Knicks find these kind of guys?

I think the funnier accusation there was he the chauffeur claimed that he was forced to clean up dirty towels, which were ejaculated into by Curry. The not-so-funny part was the racial slurs that were supposedly thrown out by Curry.

I'm telling you, Eddy Curry's reputation was shit before, but this just made it 100 times worse.

Well, since Millsap has carried the offense for the Jazz since Boozer was out, I need him to come back ASAP so that I can get some valuable points.
P.S: How can I trade away Jamario Moon for someone decent? The fouth round is WAY too high for an average player like him.

You know, there's a player I want to talk about that I'm not sure if he gets some of the props he deservers. He's probably one of the greater scorers in the game already, but nobody knows that because he plays on a struggling franchise in Indiana.

I'm talking about Danny Granger. It seems like every time I see his name in the box scores, he's put up anywhere between 20 or 30 points. It sucks his team is struggling. I don't know much about the Pacers myself right now. I'm assuming they must be somewhat of a young team. But yeah, give Danny Granger some credit. The guy performs every night.

I'll take it a step further. Danny Granger deserves to make the All Star team for the Eastern Conference. He obviously won't be a starter, but he should at least make it as a reserve.

Fuck you, Raymond Felton!

And last but not least, when are people going to realize that the Orlando Magic are a very good team? Its not just because they dropped 139 points (Including an NBA record 23 three pointers) on the Kings, but the Magic are among the league's top defensive squads, they can score, they have the best frontline in the league, and Jameer Nelson is finally playing like a starter.

I can see Orlando beating either Boston or Cleveland come playoff time.

It'd be a complete shame in the process of how they select all-stars if he didn't. Obviously you're right in saying he won't get in as a starter. Guys like Allen Iverson, who are probably having worse statistical seasons than Granger, will get to start because of fan voting. Honestly, I have no problem with that. It's a game for the fans, and if they want to see their favorite players, then great. But if Danny Granger doesn't make the team, I have no faith in the all-star game anymore.

I can see Orlando beating either Boston or Cleveland come playoff time.

Wouldn't surprise me any.

The fact of the matter is Orlando has a tendency to be incosistent at times. Don't get me wrong, they're right up there with Boston and Cleveland. But there will be games where they don't even look like they can beat some of the lower-tier teams in the conference. If they stay consistent on both ends of the floor, then I wouldn't count them out representing the Eastern Conference this year in the NBA Finals.

Too bad that people who live in the PAST will still vote for Iverson regardless how poorly he has been playing this season.

Fuck you, Raymond Felton!

lol, Tar Heels suck.

And last but not least, when are people going to realize that the Orlando Magic are a very good team? Its not just because they dropped 139 points (Including an NBA record 23 three pointers) on the Kings,

Even J.J Redick had 15 points including 4 three pointers which tells you all you need to know about the Kings' defense.

To be fair, JJ has been playing more (And playing well) as of late. He had 12 against the Spurs a couple of days ago, and they're pretty good defensively.

Chris Paul.. Damn, just damn.

33 points, 10 boards, 11 assists and 7 steals (Only 2 turnovers). The guy is just a monster on the court.

Once again, the Pistons lose a close game against a team they should have beat (Indiana), and I'm getting close to just giving up on the team. I tried giving them a chance, but losing to Charlotte at home, then losing to an Indy team that isn't all that good? Kinda hard to root for them right now.

Also, lol Utah. Losing to the Thunder by 21? There's no reason why that should happen to the Jazz.

I almost threw up as soon as I seen that. You know, they always seem to have trouble with the lollipop teams in the league, especially on the road. They lose to teams like Oklahoma City and Charlotte, but they can always handle teams like Detroit and Denver. It's messed up.

All of the Jazz players must have had a bad night at the same time. Lumpy mattresses in Oklahoma :P

Also, did you see Chris Andersen's defensive plays for the Nuggets on Tuesday? He set them down, then caught the ball on halfway, before sending it back for a buzzer beating shot from halfway :)

They don't call him "The Birdman" for nothing. It sucks to see a player like him have substance abuse problems. It took a good couple of years off his career. He has the skills and athleticism to be a pretty solid bench player. He's proved that in spurts this year. I hope he can just stay clean and not get back into his checkered past. But yeah, that was a good defensive play he made in that game.

Roger Mason's quickly becoming a Robert Horry type now. He's done this not only against the Lakers on Wednesday, but he did make a winning shot a couple other times this season. I actually remember the one from Christmas Day. He nailed a three-pointer from the corner just as time was about to expire. He's been an important asset in San Antonio this year.

Well, yeah, I concur. He's young but the intellect of an authentic player is there, even the maturity. He is like a veteran at his age. He made clutch shot after clutch shot. I guess he made a name for himself and be a superstar someday. But I dunno what's with San Antonio on their games, I just realized that their winning are almost all game winners.

I'm pretty much done with the Pistons. They've lost five in a row, and six of their last seven games. Not only that, they've lost to the Bobcats (AT HOME NO LESS!!), the Pacers, the Thunder, and last night to the Hornets (A team they usually dominate).

The Pistons need a legit PG. Maybe they should think about trading AI to Denver for Chauncey Billups. I think that would help Detroit >_>
