THE BULLS

Fri, 01 May 2009 07:28:23 PDT

The Bulls are showing signs of their great days once again..

They have very talented guards in Rose and Gordon, They also have a veteran center finally who compliments his teammates well in Brad Miller.

All the other players play their roles well such as Hinrich, Salmons, Noah. They have made themselves exciting once again and a force to be reckoned with..

I always thought who drafts Noah really wants to win.. He wins big in college and is a very passionate player, now they have Rose who compliments the whole team and especially Gordon,now they trade to Sacramento for Brad Miller and John Salmons! That deal made them contenders.. They have lacked a solid veteran center for some time.. They were stuck with Chandler and Curry and Wallace for some time and finally got a more mature and seasoned vet to fill up the middle and who can also make his free throws..

QUESTION FOR JHONNY PERALTA

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:53:05 PDT

I have one Question for Jhonny Peralta of the Cleveland Indians.. Why do you bother bringing a bat with you when you walk to the plate? you never swing man.. i've seen you strike out LOOKING with bases loaded a few times already this year and with runners in scoring position alot... If i was Eric Wedge i'd send you to the plate with no bat since it seems all you want to do is draw a walk.. I LOVE HOW MILLIONAIRS CAN CASH A CHECK WITHOUT PLAYING...

THE BRADY QUINN FACTOR

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:29:12 PDT

This is the year Quinn should be the starter. It's about time the Clevelad Browns start to invest their time into players and make the Browns a legit team. They are always putting players on pedistools them letting them go.

I think they should start with Quinn. let him play win or lose.

The Fans deserve to root for somebody instead of someone new every year....

Brady Quinn has the talent and the Charm to impact the team and organization.. build around him and they will become successful if they give someone a shot long enough.. let the players build a system and friendship it takes to win a superbowl..

The Cleveland Fans have been great they deserve better management..

Los Angeles Angels will come together and win 100 games this year

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:13:29 PDT

The Angels are one fo the most complete teams in MLB. They have Power, Speed, Pitching when all healthy, veteran leadership, and a tragedy they should all overcome to empower them and inspire them..

They have struggled to start the season but baseball is a marathon not a sprint.

Once Bobby Abreu gets his power numbers up and their pitching becomes healthy they will be back on top in their division.

Abreu is still playing well though without any homers. He has 8 stolen bases which is amongst the league leaders and he is getting on base almost twice a game.. Torii has been cleaning up in his at-bats! Kendry Morales is finally getting his daily oppurtunites while struggling for playing tme the past 2 seasons and he is coming alive.

Howie Kendrik is always a threat for extra base hits and seems to have added some pop in his bat this season.

Denver Nuggets look good

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 07:56:26 PDT

I'm not a fan of the nuggets but i'm not a hater either. I call it how i see it.. Chauncey Billups has shown how important he is to a team, Detroit imploded the moment he left and the nuggets thrived.. They are all Healthy and can play fast and slow ball and have good defense.. Chris "Birdman" Anderson is a force of the bench as well..

I feel they are true contenders for the title.

It seems they have matured immensly and George Karl finally has a team that may get him a ring...

I also have to admit they are exciting to watch. I dont like watching them against my team but i feel thats a compliment to what they have become... most NBA Games i don't sit and watch only the few teams i love i watch but Denver is a highlight reel almsot every time they have the ball.

Celtics will not make finals

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:44:58 PDT

I say this not cause they seem to be struggling with the bulls, They went to 7 games in all 3 rounds of the playoffs last year so they are right on track from last year. This year though people have their number and they are banged up a bit like the lakers were.

I think they dont have the desire they did last year as well..They were hungrier last year.

Paul Pierce is over-rated.. where was he the past 10 years.. how many times did he get his team in the playoffs without KG and Allen? in the east yet to.. you can be under .500% and make the playoffs in the east...

last year they had Posey who i feel is the main player to stop the lakers on the defensive end and also made some huge shots.. they also dont have Sam Cassel who was a good leader and helped groom Rondo.. they dont have P.J. Brown who is a good veteran, they have inconsistant Mikki Moore and Stephon Marbury.. they lack the class they had last year..

Mark Jackson should be a coach

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:54:33 PDT

I think Mark Jackson should be a NBA coach.. If Phil Jackson steps down Mr. Jackson should take over...!

He is one of the greatest players of all time, atleast TEAM players of all time. plus he knows the game.. i love listning to him commentate games as well. he has his own style, his own quotes etc etc.. I think he would also apply that to coaching and motivating his team.. the only problem with him becoming a NBA coach is that i wont be able to enjoy his commentating. Marc Jackson has got my vote for Lakers next coach!!!!!

MVP Chatter Lebron Kobe Wade

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:23:19 PDT

This is easiest Question for MVP in awhile. My only confusion is why is WADE so Strongly mentioned? Wade is a great player and had an amazing season but if you look back to recent history when KOBE put up 35.1 points per game which hasnt been done in 18 years at that time he was 4th in mvp voting due to his team only being 42-40. no mvp has ever won with out his team winning 50 games or more... and lets also remember Kobe didnt have a great team around him either.. He had KWAME BROWN as his starting center and Smush Parker as his back court ally... Wade is 43-39 this year with numbers lower then kobe's offensively from his 35.1 season.. Wade was great all year but he shouldnt even be mentioned in the top 5 due to recent history of how the mvp has gone.. this year Lebron is clear cut MVP. his numbers are staggering all across the board. leads his teams in every statistical catergory and has the best record in the NBA.. Lebron is the MVP and Kobe 2nd. but you get no trophy for 2nd so i wish people would stop this discussion now.. also WADE fans get over it. i hear you crying over how great his season was and how he had no great teammates blah blah blah.. It hurts doesnt it. I know the feeling from Kobe for many years!..

Lakers Eliminate the Jazz in 5 Closer to Cavs vs Lakers in Finals

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:05:54 PDT

The lakers knew what they had to do the moment the stepped foot on the court monday night. Knowing the CAVS already are set for round 2 the Lakers didnt want to extend their first round series cause all season it has been all about the Cavs and Lakers, Lebron vs Kobe!!! even recently there are commercials putting them up against one another for their sports drink ad. It's like it must be Cavs vs Lakers....

Last year or should i say since the moment Garnett became a Celtic they already started running old reruns of the classic 80's matchups of the lakers and Celtics and all year it was about "How great would that final be?" Kobe going for his 4th, Phil going for his 10th, Garnett, Pearce and Allen going for the 1st.. It was set in stone the day Garnett got traded to Boston. It seems almost fixed?
