i'm concerned about the pistons. this team is a shell of its former self. gone are the days of tough defense. not because ben wallace is gone, but because there isn't intensity and emphasis on defense. this flip saunders offense looks bad. no ball reversal. just throw it into mcdyess and let him kick it out for a 3 point shot and hope it falls. all i see from rasheed is him running to the 3-point line and waiting for the ball to come to him. i see billups post up more then rasheed

That might be the funniest thing I have heard in a while. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

what's so funny?

It would be the truth, if they got rid of that fat *** curry, francis, richardson and a couple of other and then gave more time to frye, nate and got another big man, they'd be set.

dude eddie curry is having a career year, what the hell are you talking about? if the division wasn't so bad the knicks wouldn't even be playoff contenders. they are 1 and done at best

I know curry is putting up good numbers, but I have never liked him. I don't know why, but I don't think he is as good as people make him out to be.

They ****!!!!!

Besides Eddie Curry, they have the biggest egos in the bussiness in Francis and Marbury. I mean who puts those two on the same team.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif There is a shit ton of star power yes. But they dont play like a team what so ever. Everyone that gets the ball, just wants to take it too the hole.

Case in point, they have all that talent and are 17-24!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Then I find it funny you say if they get rid of Curry, lol! He is the best player on that team right now. I agree, they should get rid of Francis and Richardson. Then again, I have never been sold on midget man Nate Robinson either. He is another get the ball and shoot. I mean he is the smallest guy on the team and is a bonafiyed point guard and he is averaging 1.4 assists a game and 8.7 pts. Something isnt right there.

well looks like billups won't be returning next season, so this could be the last chance for the pistons to win a championship.

That sucks, I guess the Pistons dont want to keep good talent. Nope wait, they did pick up Chris Webber. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

no, dumbass it's billups who wants to move on, and chris webber is playing great in detroit and philadelphia is paying webber.

great for webber. double checks, and about curry, you cant be a center in the nba and average .6 blocks on the year. i agree he is putting up good numbers offensively and alright numbers on the boards with 7 a game, but when you the teams main center and you are only averaging .6 blocks a game, your not doin your job. kelvin cato is averaging more blocks then curry and he only gets 5.5 minutes a game. curry needs to step up on d

i think the knicks need an overhaul. if i were them i would trade steve francis, channing frye, and jamal crawford for a star small forward, and maybe a second or first round draft pic.

how 'bout them mavs!

 

[blackbonnie 5,000+ posts]

maybe if allan houston wasnt getting paid 20 million for this season when he retired last year. maybe they would have a little money to pick up a good forward. considering that starbury is getting paid 17 million for this season and he is the highest paid player on the team that is playing doesnt show a lot. the knicks have the highest salary in the league and one of the worst teams. youd think that with 140 million dollar salary (48 million more then the closest team) they would maybe be in the top ten teams of the nba

mavs are doin great, 17 in a row as of tonight

Mavs should've won it all last year if not for the refs handing out fouls for looking at Wade.....

Mavs are the best team hands down this year, but as we saw last year, regular season means nothing (Detroit ) but Mavs are looking VERY good and I wouldn't be pissed at all if they beat Detroit in the Finals.
