Artest didnt punch anyone in the mouth until he the fan came on to the floor and lunged like he was gunna attack. For that. Artest was well within his right to protect himself.. Look who cares. There was alot of people at fault that night and yes Artest went nuts, but not until a couple of other people lost there minds, namely the beer thrower and Ben Wallace. If Wallace cant take a hard foul and walk away then he falls under your violence theory. Anways. Artest says he made a big mistake and wants to play for us again. Which means this will get uglier because O'Neal dont want him on the team. |

I'm really interested to see who Indy values more. I know who I'd keep, but I guess I've probably made that pretty clear so far, so I'll spare you. It'd be an interesting time to be a Hoosier. Honestly, I'd rather listen to an O'Neal-or-Artest debate round the clock on local sportscast than the Fire Millen stuff we get here.

People wanted Wolves to get Granger but I am content with our pick of McCants. He will be good someday.

Kobe Bryant is pretty good. When he left the game the score was Kobe 62 Dallas 61. Now considering Dallas is one of the best offensive teams in the league. Thats pretty good i'd say.
Can someone explain to me why he wasnt left in the game. He might have threatend the century mark the way he was playing. I dont care what the score is. I would have left him in there. |

Probably because it was a blowout. But 62 pts in 3 fucking quarters is sick! He coulda gotten like 70-75 pts..maybe more!

That was pretty funny. JamesSteele could learn some things from Armstrong about how to draw ***ULTIMATE HEEL HEAT***
Kobe was ridiculous last night. I'm not a fan of the guy by any means, but 62 points is pretty damned impressive. |

Cannot wait for tomorrow.
Pistons/Spurs is going to be a fantastic game and, more than likely, a preview of the NBA Finals. Nothing quite like watching the two best teams in the game going at it. |

The whole Kobe "heel" turn is kind of over now, but at least the Lakers may actually have a chance this year. Last year it was just picking on Kobe because there was no way he won with that team.

...Or this team. Although they have been playing a lot better, but I'm still not sold on the TEAM. Kobe can score all the points he wants. Although, the 62 points performance was pritty hot.

I've heard this one before too. "If all Kobe does is shoot, the Lakers won't beat the Heat."
But isn't that theory already displaced by the fact that when he scored 62 the Lakers blew out the Mavericks, who based on play this season are probably better than the Heat? |

No, because Dallas doesn't play defense.

Whats your point?
Oh, I forgot. Miami has Shaq, so despite their 15-12 record they are WAY better than Dallas, who is a mere 20-7. Thanks ESPN. |

They are 5-2 since Shaq returned. Shaq plays defense. ZO plays defense. DWade plays defense. Payton plays defense. Haslem plays defense. Hell, even Williams and Posey play defense. Walker, obviously, does not. 7/8 of their key players play good defense.
The Mavericks don't currently, never have, and probably never will play defense. Their sole strategy is to score as many points as they can and maybe they will make up for their shitty defense. ![]() BTW, that was called a foul. |

Why do the Heat even have Antoine Walker? He can obviously still be of value to some teams. It was an awful decision to bring him in in the first place, but why not offer him around, they could easily get a helpful guy for him.

I still can't get over the fact that the two best teams in the NBA over the last three years get stuck at noon while we get two barely-over-.500 teams in the "main event" game. Just goes to show that the average fan doesn't give a shit about good basketball. They just want to see if Kobe and Shaq get in a fight.

I'm convinced that the Lakers are one decent center away from having a really good team. Mihm just simply isn't good enough, but Kobe and Odom are.

Agreed. It's the media of course that clings on to anything like that.
In a related note, the Heat still won't get past the Pistons. |

To be honest, I don't think Shaq has ever cared as much as it's been made out to be. I mean think about it, the Lakers were on the downfall, if the Lakers had kept Shaq but left Kobe go, they would probably have been a playoff team but not a championship contender. At the same time, there was a couple teams that Shaq could put over the hump, the Heat being the best. So by making the big dramatic exit out of LA, he got put into one of the top teams in the NBA while still holding some credibility in LA, because after all Kobe and the Lakers are the bad guys, right?

I don't want to get into this again (I'm sure Outlaw agrees) but if you remember back to the original reason Shaq said he wanted to leave, it was because the Lakers said if they had a choice, it was Kobe over Shaq. So Shaq said "fuck you" to the Lakers, "I'm not going to wait around to see if you can or can't sign Kobe, trade me now." It was after that when everybody turned on Kobe.

Most people, yes, but I just never liked him for whatever reason. Just a personal opinion, but it doesn't matter who they surround him with or how happy they make him, I just don't like him.

Hey loop. Just a thought i'm throwing out here. I dont think Indiana has a shot in hell to beat the Pistons in any amount games of a series, but i do think the Nets can beat the Pistons. Am i wrong?

The Nets are playing pretty good basketball right now (second-longest winning streak in the league behind Detroit, I think) and they would cause some match-up problems that most other teams wouldn't. For example, who do you put on Carter? He's bigger than Hamilton (an inch shorter, but more muscular), so he could post him up. He's faster than Prince, so he can take him deep. I think that if they can put up a string of great games, they are capable of knocking them off.
The Pistons are the best team in the league, but they're not invincible. Obviously, it's too early to tell, but if the playoffs started right now, I'd be nervous about a Detroit/Jersey series. |

Charles Barkley said the only three teams that should even consider going after Artest are: Miami, Phoenix, and Dallas.
Couldn't agree more. |
