Assani,
As others have pointed out your analogy is really flawed.
I said earlier I would bet you at 24.5. Do you accept?

[/ QUOTE ]

Please stop avoiding my question. I am willing to make a bet perhaps, but please answer my question:

How many points do you think Durant will average this year?

[/ QUOTE ]
24.5

[/ QUOTE ]

If I trusted your sencerity, I would continue this conversation. I have no desire to talk to someone who I think is a liar though.

[/ QUOTE ]
Assani you asked a ridiculous question. You asked more or less "What is the minimum you will bet on" considering there is a decently large gap between 26.5 and what I think the answer is it would be retarded of me to close off anything in between 26.5 and my true o/u.
Note the above is all working under the assumption I was lying when I said 24.5.

i don't see a single position the suns are better at than the C's. most people will say nash at pg is better than rondo but i disagree because of defense and athleticism.

I think Gilbert is an annoying ass. The day he stops thinking like this will be the day Washington finally does something.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]why? He's all talk. Back it up Gilbert. Quit sounding like a little girl all the time.

Arenas capped a 54-point night by banking in a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 30.7 seconds left in overtime and the Wizards beat the Suns 144-139.

Arenas, admittedly carrying a grudge after being cut from the U.S. team for this year's world championships, pounded his chest and appeared to stare into the stands at Jerry Colangelo several times after making big plays. Colangelo, the Suns' chairman and ex-owner, is the head of USA Basketball.

He also stared down D'Antoni after sinking a 37-footer at the first-quarter buzzer.

Arenas took the ensuing inbounds pass and ran the clock down until he launched the game-winner over Deron Williams.

"I felt like I was in a win-win situation, go to OT or make the shot," Arenas said. "I was on fire the last three minutes of the game so there was no point of going in and trying to create two points. Once I felt the ball come out of my hands, I knew it was going in. It had great arc and it was lined up with the rim, so I started celebrating pre-make. I put my hands up because I knew the game was over."

Williams said he knew what was coming but could do nothing to stop Arenas.

Gilbert Arenas bailed out the Washington Wizards after they'd blown a 22-point lead and were ready to collapse.

That's what stars do.

Now Arenas and his team are one victory away from the second round of the NBA playoffs for the first time in 23 years.

In Game 5, he made the game-winning shot. In Game 6, he made the game-altering block.

While there are plenty of reasons why the Washington Wizards are headed to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in 23 years, let there be no mistake: Gilbert Arenas is the man who led them there.






The Wizards went 2-11 after Gilbert got hurt last year. Before the injuries hit him and Caron, the Wizards were the #2 seed in the East, and they had just beaten the #1 seed Detroit in back-to-back games. Gilbert averaged 28.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.9 steals last year last year. Is that not "backing it up" for you?

You're right, Rondo >>> Nash. Maybe if they're lucky the Suns can make that trade straight up.

[ThaSaltCracka]

[censored] the wizards too. One of the shittiest teams to watch in the east.

Assani's Early Power Rankings:

1. SA
2. Dallas
3. Phoenix
4. Utah
5. Chicago
6. Houston
7. Cleveland
8. Boston
9. Washington
10. Denver
11. Golden State
12. Detroit
13. Orlando
14. Toronto
15. LA Lakers
16. New Jersey
17. Charlotte
18. New Orleans
19. Miami
20. Memphis
21. New York
22. Philly
23. Atlanta
24. LA Clippers
25. Sacramento
26. Milwaukee
27. Portland
28. Indiana
29. Seattle
30. Minnesota


I just did all of these off the top of my head, so I'm sure theres some that I'll want to change as you all critisize.

Also, think of my rankings as my odds for them to advance far in the playoffs. For example, I would probably bet that Indy would finish ahead of several of the teams listed above them, but I think that the teams above them have more upside and a better shot at actually doing something noteworthy this year.

I was going to offer the only fair bet: Meet in the middle. But obviously you're just out to get a good price on the bet instead of having a friendly bet that ACCURATELY reflects our conflicting views.

[Green Kool Aid]

cleveland, boston, and washington are all better playoff teams than the bulls.

the chicago "big three" is kind of a joke.
