Peetie's NBA Thread

I always thought that if the Nets moved to Brooklyn that they had a better shot at getting him than the Knicks. But that arena in Brooklyn is dead at this point.

What happened? I thought that arena was a go-ahead?

The economy seems to have put an end to it.

Bummer for the Nets.

The Knicks beat the Celtics tonight in what can only be described as an enormous WTF moment.

How SWEET it is!

After the Lakers, NYKnicks have always been my favorite team. And the Lakers now have the best win % and are ahead of everyone in the loss column (The Celtics have 2 more wins but have played 3 more games than LAL). And the Lakers have won their last 6.

Well, the Knicks just got destroyed by the newly-transplanted Oklahoma Thunder (formerly Seattle Supersonics).

I think Mike D'Antoni wishes he had Steve Nash Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion about now.

Not yet. He should be back next week sometime. They said he was going to be out 7 to 10 days. He's a fantastic player, but it's turning out that the Blazers are a little more deep than previoously thought. Travis outlaw had the game winner last night at the buzzer. Don't get me wrong, they have a long way to go. But after years of bullshit since the Drexler Buck Williams years it's nice to see. Especially when they can kick shit on Rasheed...God damn ingrate...<--note biterness...

Yeah, it appears the TB's definitely have a good, young nucleus to build with. With Roy and Aldridge(sp?), it's already paying dividends. When Oden comes into his game, they'll be ready to make a strong move up.

CHEERS!

I agree 100%. and on top of that Oden is a class act guy. real nice and already doing alot of community outreach. Which is pretty mature for a guy his age.

But I do miss the good old days...BTW - did I mention I work with a guy who is good friends with the medical examiner who did the autopsy on Kevin Duckworth? You know how much they said he weighed in the slab?? Take a wild guess...

[peetie44]

420lbs?

Wrap your mind around this...

605lbs.

WHOA!

I remember him as being a wide-body, but with good quickness, footwork & hands, and he was a nice inside-out passer. Just ask The Glide.

Cavs-Celtics tomorrow night. Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
