Pistons demolishing the Wolves right now. Ricky Davis actually managed to score in this game (Detroit shut him out in his last game with the Celtics), and he looks pretty good. Even though they're losing by 17 in the third, this team is better than the team that Detroit beat in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago.
The Palace is full of celebrities for this game, especially football-related celebs. Bettis, Cowher, and Roethlisberger all have front row seats (as do some players that I don't recognize without jersey numbers), and they showed Donovan McNabb shaking hands with some fans earlier. |

Raptors almost lose an 18 point fourth quarter lead. Raptors are actually decent this year but they play the worst fourth quarter defense imaginable

I think the Raptors could be good if Peja joins them next season, which has been rumored.

Raptors trade Jalen Rose and a first rounder to the Knicks for Antonio Davis
I like the trade for the Raptors. Davis is a valuable player that is going to help Bosh... if he reports, which wouldn't shock me if he didn't. He hated Toronto by the time he left, but it was a totally different team and system at the team. He said he wanted to move for family reasons, but who knows. He and Mitchell were also friends in Indiana so maybe he'll play for Mitchell. The Raptors had to throw in the pick, its Denver's first rounder for this year from what I'm hearing so its going to be of little value in a weak draft. This move puts the Raptors 10 million under the salary cap at the moment, that doesn't include Alvin Williams and Eric Williams who will be gone next year and Mike James who the Raptors will probably resign now. On top of that Antonio Davis' contract is expiring. Don't really get the trade for New York, Rose isn't the same offensive player he was in Indiana and is pretty poor on defense, don't see Brown giving him good minutes unless he comes out looking like an offensive stud. The pick also doesn't have much value unless Denver goes into a freefall. |

Wow the Warriors suck. I swear if they just went with a lineup of,
PG Baron Davis SG Mickael Pietrus SF Jason Richardson PF Troy Murphy C Andris Biedrins ...they'd make the playoffs |

I was a fan of Jalen Rose and wanted the Wolves to go after him last off season, but he really had a bad start of this season. The Raptors may be starting to get things right.
A question though: I know when the Wolves gave up first rounds for Jaric and Ricky Davis, they were protected so that if the Wolves don't make the playoffs they get the pick back. Does Toronto have the same deal? It might be a little much if not. |

Didn't notice if anybody posted these. Don't think so.
2006 NBA All-Star Game Starters East F - LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers F - Jermaine O'Neal, Indiana Pacers C - Shaquille O'Neal, Miami Heat G - Allen Iverson, Philadelphia 76ers G - Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat West F - Tracy McGrady, Houston Rockets F - Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs C - Yao Ming, Houston Rockets G - Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns G - Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers Reserves to be named Thursday. Who do you guys think should make it? For me: East Gilbert Arenas, Washington Wizards Chauncey Billups, Detroit Pistons Vince Carter, New Jersey Nets Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics Ben Wallace, Detroit Pistons Rasheed Wallace, Detroit Pistons West Ray Allen, Seattle SuperSonics Elton Brand, Los Angeles Clippers Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves Rashard Lewis, Seattle SuperSonics Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks Yeah, I know I put three Pistons on the East team, but look at their numbers, and tell me they don't deserve it. Not to mention the fact that their team is, far and away, the best in the league right now. |

You could make a case for Rip in the East as well. The starters suck though. Marion should start instead of T-Mac and anybody should start over Yao. In terms of the east, it's hard to determine who should have made it over Jermaine, but Gilbert has a case for himself.

I'd actually forgotten that O'Neal was out. So, yeah, start Rasheed at the power forward spot against Duncan, and add Rip.
No team has sent four players to an All-Star team since the '83 Sixers, btw. |

My reserves:
West: Tony Parker and Sam Cassel at the guard spots KG and Marion at the forwards Dirk at center Gasol and Brand as the wildcards East: Arenas and Billups at the guard spots Bosh and Howard at the forward spots Wallace at center Carter and Pierce as the wildcards I dunno who to replace O'Neal, if it can be anyone then I give it to Hamilton narrowly over Redd and Kidd. If it has to be a forward then Rasheed Last edited by The Icon of Elisim; 02-03-2006 at 10:26 PM. |

What s great win by the Pacers. What a tuff performance.
I dont like what Saunders said after the game though. Something about playing 4 games in 5 nights. Give me a break. Indiana is the last team you should be complaining about your schedule to. |

Steve Francis will be traded to Denver in the next 2 days for Nene and Earl Watson. Nene and Watson will then be shipped to the Knicks or Sonics

New York times says that this is already dead but the talks were that New York got in on the trade talks
To New York: Earl Watson Byron Russell To Denver: Steve Francis Trevor Ariza To Orlando: Jamal Crawford Nene Voshon Lenard Magic still say that they are in talks with Sacramento, Indiana, Denver and Detroit for Francis |

Just found out I'm going to the Pistons/Bulls game March 8. Been a Pistons fan since I was seven years old, but I've never been to the Palace for a game.

Pistons just lost their second straight game. First time that's happened all year. They've lost 3 out of their last 4, too.
Ah, well. They're still head and shoulders over the rest of the league (except for Dallas and San Antonio). |

Yeah i think they'll be ok.
Oh btw. I cant imagine who the Pacers would trade for Francis. Certainly not O'Neal. Sarunas and Granger are pretty much untouchable. Fred Jones lately has become a untouchable. That leaves what? Stephen Jackson? I definetly know they wont trade Peja. I think Indiana will make a serious run at signing Peja. I doubt Indiana is in the running for Francis. |

There was a rumor going around that Jermaine might be moved in the offseason, but I don't know how legit it would be. I would be shocked if they moved him for the likes of Steve Francis though.

This team Indiana is putting on the floor is pretty fucking nice right now. They're still battered and beaten, but they can play some amazing defense and they shoot the hell out of the ball from 3. If David Harrison can get his emotions straight this kid along with Granger, Sarunus, and Fred Jones. THis team has a shot. We've won 3 in a row. 2/3 were blowouts and the 3rd was a win against the best team in 8 years, by 9. Theirs still hope. |

Sarunas' pass last night was one of the sickest things I've seen all year. That was like a Globetrotters move.

Reserves came out today
Eastern reserves Chauncey Billups, Pistons Richard Hamilton, Pistons Ben Wallace, Pistons Rasheed Wallace, Pistons Chris Bosh, Raptors Paul Pierce, Celtics Vince Carter, Nets Western Reserves Ray Allen, Sonics Tony Parker, Spurs Dirk Nowitzki, Mavs Elton Brand, Clippers Pau Gasol, Grizzlies Kevin Garnett, Timberwolves Shawn Marion, Suns Only one that really jumps out at me is Allen, I expected Carmelo or maybe Paul or Cassel. I guess they will also be adding Arenas to the East team but I would love the message it would send if they gave it to Redd instead |

Rasheed is on a heck of a team right now, but he's not an alstar IMO.
Chris Paul should be an allstar reguardless of whether he's a rookie or not. He's an allstar. Melo..Should be an allstar, but i cant realy make a case unless he's a EAST allstar. Michael Redd deserves it, but for who? Rasheed imo, but people would have a problem with that. |
