  • How fitting that my first post at AI, be about the NBA. I wouldn't say that the "Mav's aren't very good". Look at what that franchise has done in the last 3 years. Yes the Kings beat 'em down, and right now are the better team... second only to the …
  • I'm new here, but I'll chime in: Name: Patrick Age: 28, just turned... man I feel old. Race: white Sex: male Height/Weight: 6' 1", 190 Hair/Eyes: brown / green/gray/hazel... they like to change in the sun Ethnicity: Irish/Scott/Czech/etc. y…
  • Hat's off to the Nets and Kidd. They had one of the most amazing turn-arounds in NBA history. From lottery to the Finals in one year. And they did lost to one of the best teams off all time... you can't fault them for that. Ah, yes... bitter,…
  • My bad, Kobe is of course 23. Let's see... according to Woody: Players that suck: Kobe Bryant Michael jordan Shaq Players that are good: Yinka Dare Adonal Foyle Jud Buechler Travis Knight Hmm? Yup, that sounds about par for the co…
  • WHAT?! Woods talks basketball WITHOUT a conspiricy angle? When? Kobe did posterize poor Todd didn't he? Nasty! It was nice to see LA play good in the beggining for a change. I still think they're only playing good enough to win. But, then…
  • "...any so-called sport where the outcome so often depends on a ref's "interpretation" of some hair-splitting rule is not a sport." What magical world do you live in? Let's see... that takes care of basketball, football, baseball, hockey,…
  • ShadyG, welcome to the fray. Refs get a flat yearly salary. I think the Playoffs might be paid per game though. You make excellent points. Unfortunately, they will all be lost on those who only see it the way they want to. Whatever makes …
  • BTW, I used to love Vlade. When he hit the 3 pointer (for the Lakers) to beat the Bulls in the beginning of the '91 Finals, I was his biggest fan. During the past few years, unfortunately he has started to flop more than anyone else in the NBA. Ever…
  • Here's the wonderful thing about officiating. As a ref, you have one, real-time view of the play. You instantly blow your whistle and make the call - right or wrong, you call what you "see". As fans, we get the live view, endless replays in slow-…
  • I think this makes more sense: I think the only idiots are people who understand that the NBA is fixed, especially after Game 6!
  • LOL! Poor, poor Woods! Great game. All though it seemed to me that neither team wanted to win in the 3rd quarter. Ya, know it just came down to who wanted to win more... and who could do it. Plain and simple, bad calls aside on both sides, Th…
  • I'm leaving work to go and watch the games, but I thought I'd drop this question: When was the last time that both Conf. Finals went to game 7's in the same year? That's what's gonna happen tonight when the Lakers and Celtics both win. And everyb…
  • That's pretty damn funny! As the writer intended it to be. Sadly, TW will read that and call it printed fact. Probably hang it on his wall...
  • Yes everybody, thank TW97 for his "saving" the NBA. Where would we be without his, um... genius? Actually, maybe I'll take his viewpoint. I think it'd go a little something like this: "Clearly the Lakers are the better team, but NBC, David…
  • Kidd - 1. Pierce - 0. I still say this series goes 6 or 7. And what's up with Kobe getting the flu. I bet he plays and drops 34.
  • I like both teams, but everytime I convince myself that the Celts are going to win in 6 or 7, I think about Kidd and what the Nets have done, and think that they might be able to pull it off. One thing is for sure, I can't wait for the 4th quarter b…
  • And BTW, Woods... how is it that you live in Cleveland, yet like the Pacers and not the Cavs. I love Z, Wes and Miller. I keep waiting for them to get better, but it's slow in coming. Of course I kept saying that NJ was gonna be good when they were …
  • Umm, yes actually... Baron Davis. Thanks for the welcome. Man, Woods... I seriously pity you now. To be so jaded is unhealthy. I don't even know where to begin with you. Quite simply put, big markets attract big-time players, so it's no …
  • Wow! I've found a new home: Apple nuts talkin' mad ball shi*t! I love it. Now to enter the fray (all in good fun o' course): Woods 99: Why are you so bitter! I'd give you crap for it, but you sound EXACTLEY the way I used to when the Bull…
  • My personal favorite... boxin' the clown!
