GO HAWKS!!!

More coaches fired, more better choices for the Knicks. And for sure with all the early playoffs exits with some powerhouse teams, a lot of players will be in the free agency pool or will be demanding trades.

The offseason will be a very crazy one for sure.

daug ang Wizards! wala man gud si Agent Zero!

Yup. Wizards play good without Gilbert Arenas.

Cuban might be blamed for his antics but one thing he is good at: his passion for the game.

expect a brand-new Mavs before the trade deadline next season.

Like putting Dirk on the block, maybe. Or package Jason Kidd with him too. They still have a shot though. More time to mesh and let Kidd and the Mavs figure out their chemistry.

I sure hope my Hawks are going to look for their head coaching options also.

Game 5: Hawks-Celtics

Phantom calls, inappropriate calls, bogus offensive fouls... mao man siguro ni highights. Not just "bad calls" for the Hawks only but also for the home team.

I don't know if pressured sad ang referees OR they really want the Celtics-Lakers match-up sa NBA Finals.

he's been doing trades since I could remember, blockbuster ones at that. I couldn't even remember all the names and faces of players that have come and gone the Mavs locker room. I don't think there's anything impossible for an owner who wants to win championships what with Dirk's window of opportunity slowly closing down on them.

Aside from being a big basketball fan and lover, Mark Cuban is a big businessman as well and the way I see it, he's making the Mavericks a "marketable" team. The Mavericks are consistently on the headlines bringing in names like Antawn Jamison, Antione Walker, Nick Van Exel, Juwan Howard, Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse, and reacquiring Jason Kidd to name a few to team up with Mavericks household names like Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Michael Finley, and Josh Howard.

Big named players in one team == More and more ticket sales. :mrgreen:

Though the Mavericks are consistently choking though they've got one of the best rosters in the NBA, one way or another, the franchise is still winning in sales.

Cuban should better look for quality role players than stars like what Detroit and San Antonio has been doing. If Cuban continues to take superstars to help out Nowitzki and Howard, their 2008-09 season will end up in frustration again... as usual.

NBA is a very big league, di gyud na malikayan ang mga binayranay. I'm starting to wonder why "dynasties" existed.

You know what, been thinking that also. Sunod ani, mo-retire na si David Stern dayon i-puli dayon si Vince McMahon.



More drama. More intense.
