Nope.  LOL  ;D
;)

IMHO, MJ would have at least 3 rings less if Bird's career wasn't cut short by injuries.  Speaking of the Celtics, it has really been bad luck after bad luck after that.  Lewis, Len Bias... most recently, not getting the first 2 picks.  Some may say that you can include Pitino, Walker, and Ainge to that bad luck!  ;D  When players like KG and Marion refuse to go to a storied-franchise like the Celtics, you know that something is really, really wrong.

Boston?  The Celtics' rebuilding program is crap.  They need to overhaul their front office -- replacing Ainge would be a good starting point.  The once proud franchise is a struggling year after year.  They could use someone like a West or Colangelo to shake things up a bit. 

The reason for their bad luck?  I think they pissed off the leprechaun when they left the Boston Garden.  ;D

It's a good thing Boston has the Rex Sox, while they are waiting for their basketball team to shape up.

My sentiments exactly... I was actually about to suggest that they rebuild their 'now-legendary' home court (made of wood parquet?) to get back that "luck of the Irish".

Meanwhile, with two of the biggest names in the NBA being involved in trade talks, this coming draft is turning out to be one-hell-of-a-suspense thriller, donchathink?

I think this play-off format is worth a shot.... for a year at least.  I won't be surpised at all if the final 4 teams would all be from the west.

Three-team deal with Garnett, Stoudemire cools

Phoenix wouldn't be adding much with Garnett if they lose Stoudemire in the process.  Hmmm... the Lakers might enter the fray to help Atlanta out from the financial aspect of getting Stoudemire.  What if the Lakers take Stoudemire from the Hawks and exchange the expiring contact of Kwame Brown plus another player plus the 19th pick?

I don't think so...it's not the west's fault if they're the better conference...it's not the east's fault if they're the weaker conference...

very very unfair  ;D

if he really wants a ring, he should sign in with the Spurs next year as an FA and create the true twin towers. add in tmac and we have the 21-1-21  ;D  but seriously, he should know that the Spurs are contenders, just ask Finley. well, if he wants to play with a friend, why not with AI next year  ;D ;D ;D

LAkers news:

Quote
The Lakers reportedly are going beyond U.S. borders in their search for a new backcourt starter.

With Smush Parker out the door and Farmar having played only one NBA season, the Lakers have offered a multi-year contract to 30-year-old guard Theodoros Papaloukas, according to Eleftheros Tipos, a newspaper in Greece. The report said Papaloukas had confirmed the offer and was pondering it among a handful from NBA teams. Lakers officials declined to comment.

Papaloukas, a Greek native who is listed at 6 feet 7, was the Euroleague player of the year last season with CSKA Moscow, and is widely thought to be the best point guard in Europe.

He signed a three-year deal with CSKA Moscow in June 2006, a contract that could require a substantial buy-out price. The Lakers probably would have to use most or all of their mid-level exception — five years and about $30 million — to sign him. The mid-level exception is given to teams that are over the salary cap and can be divvied up to sign more than one free agent.

Papaloukas had 12 assists to lead Greece to an upset of the U.S. in the semifinals of the 2006 world championships. He had 10 points and nine assists for CSKA Moscow in a 94-75 exhibition victory over the Clippers last October, an effort that prompted Clippers forward Elton Brand to tell the Associated Press that he "definitely [had] flashbacks of Papaloukas," from the U.S. semifinal loss.

My gawd! This guy's a great pick-up, if he does get signed by El-Ay.

I hope he doesn't turn out to be the second coming of Marko Jaric.  ;D

It's gonna be Oden. Durrant should be #1 and arguably the best talent in the draft; but you just can't pass up a big man like Oden.

So far, the only "big" trades we're hearing are the ones involving Ray Allen and Zach Randolph.  What a disappointment.  >:(

wow, i was expecting Randolph but not Ray Ray. Celtics should've just traded Pierce and start from scratch. but getting rid of Wally was a bonus, and they're in the East where big forwards aren't required. it will rain 3s again in Boston  :D
