NBA 2005-2006 Season Thread
Well the season began Tues. After 2 games I am impressed with the Bucks and Pistons alot. Kobe's game winning shot gave Lakers fans hope under the Zen Master again. This will be an interesting season

Indiana looks great right now through 3 quarters with the Heat. Artest is playing like he played at the start of last year. He might be MVP this year.

Artest wasn't too hot his first game though.
The Heat are overrated and will not make the NBA Finals. The Pacers are the best team in the league. The Spurs will falter. |

It's going to be the Spurs against either the Pistons or Pacers in the finals this year. Either way, it'll be a great series. I'm leaning toward the Pistons, but I'm also well aware of my own local bias (and subsequent dislike of #s 1 and 15 on that other Central Division team.
![]() IMO, the Heat actually made themselves worse this offseason by bringing in a bunch of big names who will only serve to keep the ball out of Shaq and D-Wade's hands (which were the times when they were most successful last season). This is a team that was a game (and an unfortunate injury) away from the Finals last year, and they neutered it. |

I agree with Loopy's analysis of the Heat. Awful moves.

Bucks starting the year 3-0, good start, hope they can keep it up. That trade for Magloire is looking like a steal for the Bucks.
Redd is looking great this year as well, which is to be expected. T.J. Ford hasn't really missed a beat, he is leading the offense really good. |

They were like seventh in the west all the first half, and Kobe kept them close against the far superior Heat. They weren't that bad I don't think.

Lol at some "source" thinking Kevin Garnett is going to be traded to New York. The potential trade is just awful, and there were so many things wrong with the article.
KG isn't going anywhere, and if he does it's not going to be any time soon. |

Interesting trade rumors from insider
"Don't be surprised if the Timberwolves talk trade with the Jazz, with Michael Olowokandi going to Utah for Carlos Boozer, and with either Troy Hudson or Marko Jaric of the Wolves as part of a deal," reports the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Nov 22 - The San Jose Mercury suggets, "Open your eyes, Warriors fans: The Unofficial Garnett Trade Market just revved to life this week, and (Chris ) Mullin could turn out to be a very intriguing and very motivated participant. So if you're Minnesota, do you want the New York Knicks' raggedy collection of expiring salaries or a potential Warriors package of Jason Richardson, Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu and a No. 1 pick?" Another note they made about KG is that he won't publicly come out and ask for a trade to avoid the press backlash but if he ask the Wolves for a trade they would trade him |

ESPN Insider is the most unreliable place to get rumors.
1. Charlie Walters of the Pioneer Press is well known for making up trade rumors based on absolutely nothing, and of course that first rumor was admitted as untrue in that paper the next day. The trade doesn't make any sense either, why trade Kandi when he is finally having an impact for an undersized-injury prone player with an attitude problem? 2. There is a big difference between legit trade rumors and what we are looking at here. The Timberwolves are not shopping Kevin Garnett right now, so how could there be these potential trades? These are things that newspaper columnists come up with based on salary caps and what they consider to be fair. Do you honestly think that at this point in time, the Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors have had discussions about this trade? Do you think that somebody in the front office of the Warriors tipped this reporter off that they are planning on trading away four key players before KG is even on the market? It is sensationalism, nothing more. I'm not saying that KG won't ever be traded, but if he does it won't be anytime soon, and I guarantee you that teams are jeopardizing their players trust by setting up these blockbusters. But honestly, ESPN Insider is so bad for stuff like this. It summarizes a big article of speculation into "Knicks to retain KG for Antonio Daniels." The best site to look at, overall the best NBA website out there, is www.hoopshype.com They go to every newspaper or website with any sort of NBA news and compile them in an organized rumor mill. This way you can see the true context of the story and link to the full article as well. I highly recommend it. |

LOL. At tonight's Pistons/Knicks game at the Palace, one of the fans was holding up a sign that read:
What can Brown do for you? 5-9 |

Of all places, Artest wants to go to the Knicks? Anybody the Pacers would get for him would hurt their team it seems like, and I can't tell if Artest would be good on New York either.
