Thread: NBA 2008-09 Season

Spurs BARELY escape Minnesota. They owe Tony Parker big-time for saving them from 0-4.

Two battle of the unbeatens went to the visiting teams tonight:


The Pistons (4-0) defeated Toronto (3-1), 100-93.

The Hawks (3-0) defeated New Orleans (3-1), 87-79.

Looks like that seven-game series with Boston may have been the spark to revitalize Atlanta, a good team in the 1990s but HORRIBLE for most of the 2000s!

There were multiple "monster performances" last night....

LeBron had 41 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals in the win over Chicago.

Tony Parker had 55 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists in the overtime win against the Timberwolves.

Can anyone tell me why Chicago doesn't have Ben Gordon starting at SG while Larry Hughes is injured? Instead, they have Thabo Sefalosha starting at that spot!

Last night, Ben Gordon scored 31 points off the bench! Thabo scored ZERO!

This would create a starting lineup of:

PG- Derrick Rose
SG- Ben Gordon
PF- Drew Gooden
PF- Tyrus Thomas
SF- Luol Deng

The Bulls would also have PG- Kirk Heinrich and PF- Joakim Noah coming off the bench. Once Larry Hughes gets back, this team should have a lot of weapons.

Despite being small and young, I like what this Bulls team is doing. They are in desperate help of a legitamite big man/ center though. And from what I saw last night, Derrick Rose IS the real deal! This kid is going to be a star in this league for quite some time.

I agree with LeBron's desire to play with a winner. But the thing is, Cavalier's owner, Daniel Gilbert is committed to winning too! Daniel Gilbert has done everything in his power to build around LeBron. Gilbert has even built a state of the art practice facility halfway in between Akron and Cleveland for the Cavs and LeBron. Plus, every contract besides the new guys we drafted and Mo Williams will be off the books in 2010. Like Detroit, we will be able to sign anybody else we want.

So, you see Paul, Detroit really doesn't offer any true advantage over what Cleveland has to offer. Besides, LeBron's a Buckeyes fan. Why would he want to move to that nasty school up North?

I've been known to flip-flop depending on how my "meds" are working.

Still without Iverson, Billups or McDyess, and still winning.

Those game sound like a bore. How 'bout everyone tunes into the Browns/Broncos game?
