I know, but Loopy was implying that the Lakers without Kobe or anybody else could still come close to making the playoffs.

Well, if that's the case, replace Shaq with, oh I dunno...Chris Kaman. What do you have? I don't really see how you can use that method of defining an MVP.

You replace Shaq with Chris Kaman and the Heat are still one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, and they have a center who plays all season

Its not a scientific means of choosing an MVP but its not a scientific process. There are alot of different ways to choose an MVP. You got "best guy on the best team", "best stats all season", "most dominant down the stretch" and "team played terrible with him out therefore he was the most important to the team" among others. This is just a way that makes sense to me
btw BCWWF is right, Kaman on the Heat wouldn't move them in the standings by more than a couple games. D-Wade on the other hand, if you replace him with Ben Gordon you would see a bigger drop off but the team would still be in the playoffs |

Kaman is good, he is one of the most underrated players in the league.
Do you really think that: Jason Williams, Dwayne Wade, James Posey, Udonis Haslem and Chris Kaman with Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning and Antoine Walker off the bench is not going to make the playoffs? I mean even if you put a really bad center in there like Michael Olowokandi, the Heat would still win their division. |

Spoke too soon. I still think Chicago can get out of the first round. Miami seems so beatable to me. I think anyone in the playoffs can beat Miami with the exception of maybe the Bucks and Cavs.
Speaking of the Bucks. They're already eliminated IMO. I love the Indy draw. They matchup great with the Nets and they've dominated the Heat. I dont know about the Bulls tho. I really like the Bulls in the East. My pick is the Bulls. |

The Bulls are going to be so good next year. Think of them adding Tyrus Thomas/LaMarcus Aldridge and JJ Reddick for bench scoring...SICK

I didn't say they wouldn't make the playoffs. Of course they would make the playoffs, because after the top 4 spots or so, the Eastern conference is pretty weak. They would not be a contender at all with Kaman instead of Shaq. The Heat are 42-16 with Shaq. 10-14 without him. Do you really think that Kaman would get double and triple teamed like Shaq, which would then open up open shots for Udonis, JWill, Walker, Wade, Posey, etc.? That's Shaq's most valuable part of his game, he gets other people stats.

That's cool. Bosh is gonna be a pretty big star, and having that kind of a player as your anchor can only be good for that franchise.

Memphis First Round Predictions Detroit 4-1 ( The Bucks arent that bad and they'll probably get hyped to atleast take one in Milwuakee (Sp).) Chicago 4-3 ( Fuck it! I'll go for it. I love this Chicago team. Not as much as i love my Pacers, but a different kind of love. I think Miami has played all year like a team that might stumble and when you're a team that might stumble, the last team you want to play in the first round is Chicago. ) Indiana 4-3 ( Indiana has gotten some chemistry back and O'Neil has been a monster the last 5 games he's played. Who on Jersey will stop O'Neil? Indiana is playing a high tempo game now and can matchup with Jersey. Plus Indiana is better on defense and a better shooting team from beyong the arch. Indiana's bench is deeper. Throw out the seeds, I think Indy pulls this one out. ) Washington 4-2 ( Most people think of Lebron vs Arenas, but forget that Arenas has Jamison and Butler on his team. Lebron has inconsistant Damon Jones, banged up Hughes and Illgalskus and a decent player in Gooden. I think Arenas can score with James. I think Washington is the better team here. ) San Antonio 4-0 ( Sorry Sactown ) Lakers 4-3 ( 7-2 upsets on both sides. Kobes and Odom seem to be playing real good together as of late. Luke Walton is starting now and producing. I think with Kobe you've always got a shot. Its not like the Suns play any defense so Kobe might average 40 a game in this series. The Suns just seem like the softest team in the playoffs right now. I can feel the upset coming. ) Denver Nuggets 4-3 ( Nuggets got to much fire for the Clippers in a 7 game series. Thats if they stay healthy. ) Dallas 4-3 ( I could totally see Dallas sleeping 3 games and losing. Everytime Dallas got some momentum going and strung a few games together, they just totally fell asleep and lost a stupid one. That and i think Memphis will be pretty pumped and they have a very solid team. Who's guarding Gasol? Dampier? Nowitski who cabt play defense? Gasol will have his way, but Dallas still manages to win. ) |

I like all of your Eastern Conference picks, but you might have fallen astray on the Western Conference. Clippers over Nuggers is my only upset on the Western side. I didn't like Phoenix's moves when they made them, but the guys on their team now are a lot more complete than Joe Johnson and Q were last year.

I like your picks Rectal aside from a couple.
Give me Bosh over Rasheed on 3rd team. Wade and Arenas switch spots and Duncan and Brand switch spots. Theres no more comeback player, its most improved which has to go to Boris Diaw. Mike Miller I have for 6th man and Granger is obviously a joke, Villaneuva is a lock for ROTY ![]() And I love the Skiles for Coach of the Year but I think Avery Johnson is a lock for it Last edited by The Icon of Elisim; 04-23-2006 at 06:56 PM. |

Nooo. SUCH a heartbreaking loss. I thought we had a chance. Tim Thomas fucked us up. Kobe got teammates involved today though. Pretty impressed with Luke. Look for Kobe to shoot over 30 times next game

Now that a day has passed.. I feel very confident for LAL. They can totally win this series. Their D after the 1st quarter was great. If Kobe had a slightly better game they woulda won. Lake show will win game 2.
