HOUSTON ROCKETS should be the NBA Champion in 2008, do the Math...

Dko ganahan anang Steve Francis.. Paetsss!

Ang Spurs pud lig-on jud na cla sauna pa, pra d lng jud prone ang focus sa mga tao nga lig-on cla ila gi bench c Manuel Ginobili.. But for sure it's one of those classic strategies na nga gbuhat ni coach Greg Popovich.. tan-awa lng gud na ila transition. For me cla jud ang daghan superstar player way labot ni Oberto in speaking to NBA.. samot na gi-add c Finley, dba?

But i am still a Rockets fan.. palayason lng unta na c Francis, ipuli c Deron Williams, thats what i call Championship contender na jud cla.

trade Rafer Alston for Udonis Haslem..

oh well, quit dreaming..The Heat have Jason Williams and Dwayne Wade, no need for another pointguard

But i am still a Rockets fan.. palayason lng unta na c Francis, ipuli c Deron Williams, thats what i call Championship contender na jud cla.

Nah, I dont think Utah will agree, tiguwang na si Francis, Si Deron Williams dako pa kaayo ug potential


My bet is these would be the teams contending for the title:

San Antonio Spurs
Cleveland Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons
Miami Heat
Dallas Mavericks
Phoenix Suns
Chicago Bulls

@thadzonline

guwang na jud noon na c Francis, ila lng i-package c rafer alston im sure daghan teams mukuha ana nila kay gamay salary.. and the teams name u have mentioned above are the same team that had reached NBA smi-finals and finals last season.. kulang lng Houston Rockets... thats my bet too..

para ma champion ang rockets ila na itrade si yao ming o si tmac..

[thadzonline]

dili ko impressed sa Rockets..too soft..duda man sad gani ko sa SUns kay I believe hey should have acquired a Power Forward or a Center instead...loaded sila sa 3 spot so possible nga mag trade pa na sila...I like the Cavs chances though..the recent Finals should make them tougher and more smart, daghan jud to lessons ila makuha ato..

And they have done a good job keeping the core of the team..

Wade is better off at SG and Jason Williams is 32 years old, injury prone, inconsistent and has an expiring contract. Miami is in dire need of a better point guard.

duda man sad gani ko sa SUns kay I believe hey should have acquired a Power Forward or a Center instead

Probably someone to give Amare and Diaw some ample time to rest, but I really don't think they badly need a big man this time. Phoenix is a running team and they're way better on the open court. Adding a solid big man inside will slow them down and could put the whole system in jeopardy. As long as Steve Nash is still with the team, they should stick to what they do best, which is to run.

Phoenix has proved it in the 2006 Playoffs that they don't need height to make it far. They made it to the Conference Finals playing with a 6'8 center in Boris Diaw and moving the 6'7 Marion to the PF position at times. They let other teams eat their dust.

Maybe keep Yao Ming and send McGrady away. McGrady is a known performer and a clutch player, yet he's still not got off the first round jinx. He can't win a playoffs series.

Maybe, just maybe, if the Rockets didn't send Francis away for T-Mac, then the Rockets could be a lot better off. Francis and Yao had good chemistry on the court together.

G-trade man gni na cya b4 kay buaya

This is not the reason why they let 'The Franchise' go. T-Mac for Francis? Who wouldn't take that offer. They even included Cuttino Mobley in that trade.

Well, The Spurs should have taught them a neat lesson that speed alone cant get them far. The Spurs can set their halfcourt offense with ease, they deliberately slowed the tempo to their advantage, and since they were a lot bigger, controlled the boards and somehow limited the Suns transition points. The key to the Suns' running attack is securing the defensive rebound and make the quick outlet passes.

just my two cents...who knows maybe the next time, they can really prove they can win running away from the Spurs.

They were rumored to be acquiring KG, so they knew they needed a big man....well, who can run...

Wade is better off at SG and Jason Williams is 32 years old, injury prone, inconsistent and has an expiring contract. Miami is in dire need of a better point guard.

Wade can play point very well too, in fact, mas maayo gane cguro if cya pointguard kay he can influence the offense better..and Id like to believe they have resigned Gary Payton, so what they need is a younger point that they can develop...I think Alston still has some good years left, but I dont think the Heat will swap Haslem with Alston...

Stoudemire and Diaw's suspensions dealt the Suns a big blow during that series. We really could never tell the outcome of such series without such suspensions. Both the Suns and Spurs split the series 2-2 prior to the Horry-Nash incident, and both are 1-1 at home. Both teams play different styles and both are effective. Phoenix should stick to what they do best.

They were rumored to be acquiring KG, so they knew they needed a big man....well, who can run...

It's KG and not other big man. Who would not say no to that deal? . A rumored deal was KG and Marion. Nash-Stoudemire-Garnett, that complete's the championship equation.

Wade can play point very well too, in fact, mas maayo gane cguro if cya pointguard kay he can influence the offense better..

That's too much load for Wade and taking consideration his current status of recovering from his shoulder injury, it's not a good idea to let him do it all for now.

but I dont think the Heat will swap Haslem with Alston...

This deal is some sort of "I get one and I lose one" for Miami. Miami gets a PG and loses a PF.

I still dont think so, I think would rather wait for an opportunity where they dont have to lose Haslem in the deal, Antoine Walker could be more dispensable.

The Spurs sure had gotten on the gut of Diaw and Stoudemire, and thats part of the chess game in the playoffs..in our language, ang pikon talo....and by the way they just let go of another Center in Kurt Thomas for draft considerations..

oh well yes, who wouldnt say yes to that deal..hehehe..that's what I'm saying if they can get a big man, it must be somebody who is quick enough so as not to disrupt their up-tempo offense..

That's too much load for Wade and taking consideration his current status of recovering from his shoulder injury, it's not a good idea to let him do it all for now.

Considering the Heat is not a running team like Phoenix, it wouldnt be much load to play point..although I agree he is better off at position 2..He's a good passer, so maybe he'll play some point this season

Antoine Walker could be more dispensable.

Walker is of great value for the Heat right now. Miami just lost Jason Kapono and is on the verge of losing James Posey. They're in need of a SF. Walker can fill in to that role.
