interesting stuffs..looks like we got hard-core ana bball bloggers........ before bringin anythin...heres how the Championship's been divided so far: 2002- dc -winner dc...(dalls knocked out 1st rnd) 2003- denver- winner dallas( dc runner up) 2004- phoenix- winner dc ( phoenix runner up....phoenix beat dallas in the semis) 2005- dallas- winner dallas( dc runner up) 2006- ny- winner dc (dallas runner up)... attn: sleepyspur....dallas has not won 2 of last 3 championship as u can see... both times dallas won...saurav (2002) and the others( 2005)...were in the dallas team....dallas and phoenix combined....u cant hide that fact... ..dallas hasnt won anythin without saurav.....saurav hasnt won anythin without dallas.....the truth is they cant win without each other.......therefore,there is no argument that saurav is the most imp player for dallas....even though he has been a dudh-bhat.......now when they split...both side loses..(loses-as in strengthwise)....dallas stay the same this yr....phoenix brings that tall guy from new-york.....another dudh-bhat......just to make their team stronger....lets see where it takes them.....btw...that guy from ny.....wasnt much of a threat anyways.....esp..in his so-called hometown..NY.....some ppl jus cant stick to their roots.... dc on the other hand...has stuck with its core players....in all those 5 yrs....atleast 4 players remain the same...the 'help' keeps changin...n they say that these'help are from nowhere else but dc......on hearing that dc wont have 2 core big men...dc def lose some strength ....but then again the addition of another good pg takes care of some of that... now its obvious that all that been being talked is on dc dallas n phoneix...which seems natural as per the stat.....no other team has been as good as dc and (dallas+phoenix )combined.....but the young-guns that are on the rising might surprise 'em all....or will they?....2 weeks..n this tread will have a new meaning.........good luck to all... may the best team win!!!
