As a Portland fan I have to say, I can't wait to see Oden in action!

I swore off the NBA after what they did to the Suns last year.

The NBA does not exist.

I hear Donaghy will continue blowing the whistle this year as a paid consultant. Stern hired him to roam the catwalks of NBA arenas and spot "cheating" referees. If Donaghy had just stuck to fixing Utah Jazz games, he probably never would've been caught. The Jazz foul the sh*t out of everyone anyway, so who would notice if Donaghy calls a few more???

Bobbo,

You nuts? "AINEC"? Whether he's the best or not is debatable, and if he is, it's certainly close. Maybe it won't be in a couple years, but he hasn't reached it yet.

And the rest of the team is just awful while the East has improved. Lebron will be great. They'll play good D. 50 wouldn't shock me, but anything more than that and I'd be surprised.

dirk is fine. that series wasn't even his fault. the whole thing was just stupid and pathetic. GS was a lucky lucky lucky lucky team and the mavs had everything locked up for 2 weeks and were on complete cruise control, and they never got off of it.

I just hope when we have 70 wins with 12 games left we don't pull the same stunt. Just keep playing the starters, playing them hard, and playing to win. Trying to "flip the switch" only works if Stern has it rigged for you.

Mavs are the best team in the nba and they will either win the championship, do something retarded and lose in some horribly depressing way, or get gayed by the officials.

Cuban looked good on dancing with the stars, so that's a start.

that's a pretty wack assessment. Though Dirk certainly didn't play awfully, he performed well below his season standard.

The main problem, though, was coaching, IMO (and of course, the Warriors running sick hot and the Oracle being insane). The Warriors basically said "[censored] your middle high post bs" and attacked whoever received it up there, usually Dirk. The Mavs were so flustered.

I'd rather have LBJ then any other player in the nba on my team for 1 season. (And for the future, of course)

I agree about the rest of the team, the improvements in the east, etc.
