Michael Beasley isn't going #1?

RP · 03-06-2008, 07:40 PM

We play the Spurs tonight. It might go to 2% by tommorow.

**Testicle** · 03-06-2008, 07:42 PM

Watch, Dunleavy will drop 40, Duncan will break his ankle and the Pacers will win just to screw up their draft position.

Still think Kobe should be MVP?

**Jura** · 03-06-2008, 08:19 PM

Basically Lebron can do anything he wants on the court.

**SammyG** · 03-06-2008, 09:52 PM

Yes. Without a shadow of a doubt.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 03-06-2008, 10:53 PM

Without a shadow of a doubt merely because he is a warrior

**Testicle** · 03-06-2008, 11:09 PM

Another 39 points for LeBron tonight. In a loss though.

**McLegend** · 03-06-2008, 11:32 PM

I want my MVP throwing his team under the bus.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 03-06-2008, 11:32 PM

Shut up fatass Kobe is a warrior

**McLegend** · 03-06-2008, 11:37 PM

That's right.

Warrios and MVP candidates demand to be traded.

**Testicle** · 03-06-2008, 11:50 PM

Hard to believe that Dallas is 7th in the west. Plus they're losing tonight.

**Jura** · 03-07-2008, 12:06 AM

Dallas has had talented players now and in the past but they can never get the job done.

**SammyG** · 03-07-2008, 12:17 AM

They were without Dirk today, I didn't expect them to win. Houston is being a little too unreal right now. 17 in a row, what the fuck.

**IC Champion** · 03-07-2008, 02:55 PM

If I'm in the West, I'm happy Yao went down, because even with out him Houston is getting the job done.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 03-07-2008, 03:11 PM

Will be hilarious if the Suns and the Mavs don't make the playoffs

**SammyG** · 03-07-2008, 03:19 PM

Omg would be amazing.

**IC Champion** · 03-07-2008, 03:19 PM

Ive already said I wouldnt be surprised if the Suns, or Mavs didnt make it. Denver has a good team and their in 9th last time I check, so either Mavs or Suns aint making it.

RP · 03-07-2008, 04:10 PM

I'm really in love with Russell Westbrook too

The owners of the Pacers are just now realizing how much of a joke our organization has become.

Good news though is that the Pacers are making a furious run for a top 3 pick. Lost 3 straight. Only have 24 wins right now. I think the magic number for a top 3 pick is like 28 or 29 wins. So theres a chance. If we stick to the formula ( by formula i mean losing to Seattle when we should obviously win ) then we'll have Orlando and Dallas. Thats 5 straight losses. I think if we can get the #2 pick we will get Derrick Rose and thats who we need. Rose is gunna be the best player in the draft. Everyone is on Beasleys jock, but Rose is being compared to Chris Paul but with way better defense. I've ever read people saying he's the fasted basketball player in the world. I dunno. Havent seen enough of him yet, but he's what Indiana needs. We need a PG that can lead this god forsaken squad.

GO PACERS ( pls lose )

Bynum's return to Lakers may be month away-
Lakers coach Jackson says Bynum might not return until near the end of the regular season and that he will be blended in carefully.

By Mike Bresnahan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
March 8, 2008

Andrew Bynum's return from a knee injury might not be until close to the end of the regular season, Coach Phil Jackson suggested Friday.

"That's still perhaps a month away, maybe, whatever," he said when asked about the team adapting to Bynum's return. "I can't even put a date on it. It's just too early to think of it like that."

The Lakers' last regular-season game is April 15 against Sacramento. Their first playoff game will be either April 19 or 20.

Bynum could begin jogging on a treadmill next week, but Jackson already sensed a challenging adjustment period when the 20-year-old returned to the court, particularly with Pau Gasol now in the mix.

"Very difficult, especially when [Bynum] has never played with a player like that," Jackson said. "Regardless of how Andrew comes back, he's not going to start at 100%. He's going to start somewhere where it's going to be, 'Is he in basketball condition now to play eight, 10 minutes, six minutes,' whatever it is.

"When we put him on the court, it's going to be in relief to start with. He's going to come off the bench and play a secondary role, probably, to start with. And then as he gets a couple games where it looks like he can sustain the effort and his conditioning improves, then we'll work on how it fits together.

"Now, if this is in the playoffs, it's almost impossible to do that because you don't want to break up the chemistry. It's going to be handled just the right way."

Bynum has been out since sustaining a bone bruise on his left knee and a brief dislocation of the kneecap in a Jan. 13 game against Memphis.

There's a decent fight for the seventh and eighth spots in the Western Conference, although the Lakers are reluctant to acknowledge it while battling San Antonio for the conference's top spot.

"I'm not really watching that," Jackson said. "We're still 15 games away from that. The last eight, 10 games, you start watching everything that everybody does."

Dallas (39-23) is currently seventh and Golden State (38-23) is eighth, but Denver (37-24) is within striking distance.

The players admit to some scoreboard watching but also refuse to look too far into the future.

"After the game, I like to see the scoreboard just to see how other teams have played, so I have an idea a little bit," Sasha Vujacic said. "But for our opponent for the playoffs, I'm not even thinking about it."

How come?

"What happened last year to Dallas, it was a good experience for everybody -- you should never predict," Vujacic said. "When you're doing that, you're going to get stabbed in the back."

Dallas, the top-seeded team in the West last season, lost to eighth-seeded Golden State in the first round.

Indiana now has a 2.25 % chance to get the #1 pick. Moving on up!

**SammyG** · 03-09-2008, 06:52 PM

Just lose every game from now on, tankjob.

RP · 03-09-2008, 07:17 PM

Thats what i'm saying.

**SammyG** · 03-09-2008, 07:19 PM

nice, suns beat the Spurs. Now if the Lakers win tonight, 4 games up on the Suns in the Pacific, and 1.5 game up in the West.

**DaveWadding** · 03-09-2008, 10:17 PM

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOS SUNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

**SammyG** · 03-09-2008, 10:42 PM

Holy fuck Lakers playing NO defense rite now. Sacramento is also making every shot, they have 71 points at halftime. Damn. Might lose this if we don't improve on D.

**SammyG** · 03-10-2008, 12:10 AM

tough tough tough loss at home. Sacramento always plays us really well. Sucks. Good thing is, we are still 3 games up on PHX, and half a game on SAS

**Nervous Ferret** · 03-10-2008, 12:10 AM
