whats up fellas, long time no nba talk in our discussion here. let me revisit our beloved league and throw some food for thoughts at ya :p ok where to start from....all stars just around the corner and it is going to exactly reflect what we've all been experiencing in our league throughout the year. injuries injuries and more injuries. seems like about half of the all stars selected from both conferences won't be able to go. which is a blow to the fans for not being able to see all these great players on the court at the same time. more than anything, i am really disappointed about not being able to see nash dishin dimes around being the all starts mvp as well. without a doubt nash is my mvp, as shown by recent suns play. no matter how good of a players they have, they are not even close to what they are with nash. even though my boy dirk who is having a monstor season, i'm gonna have to give it to nash for what he's worth to his team. ok let's start with other general disappointments in and around the league (including our own). defending champs heats have not played like the champs at all this season, looks like walker, payton and some of the old farts have had it after winning the ring onces, so with shaq out most of the first half they had no bench help and their depth was a major issue. i guess this is the affect of new rich nba, once you got your bazzilions bucks and a ring, there just aint much motivation to play for. this is sad because back in the days there used to be a thing called "team pride" but in today's moneyminded free agency world there is noone with true alliance. all players care about is their $$$ and the ring. so, even though wade is playing like an mvp the heat are still my most disappointed story for the 06-07 season so far. yes i kept them above the celtics. speaking of which, if they don;t get their win against the bucks tonite there is no telling when their next win will come, not for another 5 games at least. so good luck to them and their big fan among us ;-) now to our league, it should be no surprise kg4mvp was the biggest disappointment. injuries just about killed him. with the recent news of braon davis going down with injuries isn't helping his cause. i see a lesson to be learned in all this for our next draft, DO NOT draft injury prone players. amare was an exception this year but i still wouldn't have done it because the risk far more out weighs rewards. last but not the least, nba trading deadline are only few days again and this is the one that is going to have far implications in our own league. so you guys be alert do your homework, looking for the guys on the trading block and their effects on other players, in or out of your roster. from what i've been hearing 2 big names for sure to be traded are jason kid and pau gasol. where will they end up is anyone guess but if they were to get traded we will be presented with some opportunities to cash in. alright this is all for now...see ya'll on the other side. peacE
