I told HD that the so-called Cavs/Wizards "rivalry" is as competitive as the Roadrunner and the Coyote.

The Wiz aren't this bad Sabres, trust me. They're playing with 6 players. Almost everyone significant on their roster is out with injuries.

Now, the Knicks tkake their act to the West coast.

Yeah, that was a brutal 3-game stretch for the Knickerbockers.

2008-09 point differential rankings

1. Cavaliers +10.3
2. Celtics + 9.6
3. Lakers + 8.6
4. Magic +8.6

To put this in perspective, the fifth and sixth place teams from this season are Denver and Portland, tied at +3.9

Think about that for a minute, 27% of the top 15 teams with the best point differential in the last 35 years, are from THIS season!!

That IS an impressive stat Celts!

Just like I've been saying for a while now, we're in the middle of another great period in NBA basketball. Talent around the league is at an all time high, which creates for some spectacular games. As a fan, I'm just soaking it all in.

Except for the damn Spurs somehow still winning, everything's going well for the NBA from my perspective.

Bobcats send Morrison to Lakers for Radmanovic - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

Charlotte really made a mistake when they selected him.

What a crock! Go to hell NBA! You clearly have an agenda. You pissed on Cleveland twice now in the last week! We will not forget this!

I thought that was kinda lame too, taking it away after the game was over.

MAN oh MAN....Rumors are FLYING here that a certain someone COULD be a Heat!

The Arizona Republic, in a story posted Friday on its Web site, quoted Stoudemire as saying: "I know for sure, wherever I go, we're going to definitely be playoff contenders. I bring a lot to the table."

Sources told ESPN.com that the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers are among the many teams with whom Phoenix has exchanged trade concepts, with the Bulls and Heat believed to be pursuing Stoudemire hardest at this early stage.

Almost every team in the league has some degree of interest in Stoudemire, but sources close to the process maintain that the Suns will part with the 26-year-old only in a deal that delivers at least one decent-sized expiring contract along with younger talent and/or draft considerations.

Rumors out of Miami is Marion BACK to Phoenix and Michael Beasly and possibly Dorell Wright for Amare Stoudemire and a #1....

I don't know if they I would give up Beasley THAT fast though....I mean he is coming into the league about the same age as Amare with BETTER skills AND almost the same height when Stoudemare started....
