**Official NBA thread**

i agree with you, and i dont see them going much past the second round because when you get deep into the playoffs, you want a solid center to play inside out ball and houston wont have that. it was just like with golden state last year. same thing happened to them, went on a nice run at the end of the season, beat the mavs and it was downhill from there
Word! I was really praying for the Warriors last year though. I enjoy watching the underdogs do well.

I think the underdogs will be the Hornets this year. Like to see them do well. The West is really anyones game though. Lot of talented clubs over that way.

 
A little off topic, but.... I got a buddy that works for the Washington Wizards, he works the vistors locker room and sideline during games and...... MAN he has told me some stories //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
well the hornets are a very good team, but i do agree with you on the underdog part. i really was pullin for them too. the warriors are alot of fun to watch, and i love there style of play
Yep, they are a lot of fun to watch. Baron Davis and Monta Ellis are some high energy ballers. I really like the energy they have. Crazy that they may miss the playoffs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I hope they do though.

 
my high school coach went to school with chris kaman and they are really good friends, he just got back from his house 2 weeks ago. he usually goes out the 1-2 times every 2 months or so. i have met him multiple times and he is a very laid back guy and fun to hang out with

 
Well, we all know how much the NBA guys that are married cheat on their wives, but, I was unaware that they use the employee's to their advantage.

My buddy gets paid often to go into the stands and collect phone #'s for players! And, the NBA guys pay WELL.

Shaq is one of my buddies regulars, make sense that he is now getting a divorce or is divorced.

Also, some of those NBA guys CAN DRINK, my guy has made all sorts of money from making trips to the local ABC store in DC , they tip him for the trip AND for sneaking the liqor on the bus.

Jermain O'Neal paid him his whole stipend for him to buy a large amount of Patrone for him and secrete it onto the bus lol .

Also, he has told me of a few locker room incidents, he told me... little Nate Robinson, of the NY knicks, is a little pitbull dog!

Says Quentin Richardson became angry when some of the players for the knicks where heckling him while he was at the free throw line towards the end of a blowout loss.

On the way back to the locker room, Quentin informed the other players that the next time they did that, he would slap whoever makes comments.

Little nate took offense, and informed Quentin that he could slap him right now! Quentin mumble some words but backed down, my buddy had the feeling that it was common knowledge that Nate was not to be *****d with.

Then there is the Shawn Kemp story, apparently, there is a saying amongst the past teams he played for, Kemp was known for "Kemping" rookies.

"Kemping" was when Shawn Kemp snuck up behind a rookie and "Bless" them with his..... stuff.

My buddy also said he walked in on Elden Campbell once in the locker room as he was undressing after a pistons/wizards game.

He said Elden was sitting on a very low bench in the locker room, and his stuff was touching the floor lol .

I still cant believe that one, he said he didnt want to tell me about that one for obiouse reasons, but... he said he was in shock when he saw it and some of the other players were laughing at him until he snapped out of it.

Then there are the stories of the good the bad and the ugly.

He worked out with/for Chris Paul when he was working out for the draft, he told me, CP was one of the nicest down to earth guys he had ever met.

He once got into an altercation with Keven Garnett, he asked KG if he could sign a shirt after a game for a friend of his, KG was all smiles and yes man.

After the Wizards smashed the wolves, my buddy approaches KG about that autograph, KG flies into a rage and has to be restrained by the trainers, says KG was inches from his face screaming about "****ing autographs" , my buddy is NOT a fan of KG needless to say.

I could go on lol .....

 
sounds fun, they are just like me and you but just have tremendous talent. you have to remember where 99% of them grew up. they grew up doing all that stuff its not like they were churchy kids, they have all got in trouble at one point or another. but i can believe it

 
and stephen jackson looks like the most hood gangsta in the nba, lol
we should have never let him go. antonio daniels was much more trouble off the court here in SA than stephen.

so, you are saying because they are black they dont know how to act civilized? because they are from the ghetto? how about those white football and baseball players that get into the same trouble? are they from the hood too?

 
well they finally faced a real team.
I dont think it's fair to say they finally faced a real team...22 is so **** hard to do...Boston couldn't play Miami/Memphis and Minnesota every night for 22 games and win all of them...

I'm very surprised at that Rockets team going for 22 with our without Yao, I would have never guessed it...I give them much respect, but I think they definitely overachieved for awhile...I would b surprised if they made a splash in the playoffs...I look down their bench and just don't see it...but good luck...
