Jazz are the worst road team and best home team.
I don't really know what to think about D'Antoni coming to Toronto. I honestly don't think he'd make that much of a difference from Mitchell.
Yoss, it seems like Bosh listens to constructive criticism but then he just goes out there and does his usual ****. once he has the ball and calls for the iso, you just know he's either going to take that perimeter jump shot, try to drive but lose the handle like he always does, or blindly drive to the basket, throw his arms up in the air and yell "OHHH!!" and hope he gets the call when 50% of the time there was no foul in the first place. He is a very talented player, but he's just not "franchise" material, he's not the one who's gonna lead this team to any major hauls

check out the list of UFAs this off-season: Iverson, Jermaine O'Neal, Brand, Maggette, Ricky Davis, Marion, Artest, Beno Udrih, Arenas, Jamison, Baron Davis
not a bad list. Raptors UFAs = Rasho and Primo. Rasho made almost $8M this season, as did TJ. there are a few decent PGs in the free agent pool we can pick up to work alongside Jose off the bench... Beno would be nice. also a few guys I didn't list, like Anthony Carter, Tyronn Lue, Duhon are all unrestricted. in other words, we've got a lot of options this off-season, lets see what BC does

Avery out as dallas coach. i don't like him but i dont think he deserved it. he was beaten by a superior team. dallas has Dirk. That's it. jason kidd is over the hill, stackhouse wants to fight more than he wants to play, and josh howard is a 4th option at best. terry is good, but only at coming off the bench. reminds me a lot of ben gordon. avery did choke away the playoffs, but i think he deserved another chance. very good coach. his players liked him. this is more cuban saying "i'm the boss" than anything else. dallas needs an overhaul. like phoenix, i think they wanted to do something to show the fans they are trying to win. but because they lost, all it showed is how far away from being an "elite" team they really are.

Rasho has one more year on his contract. He should become a trade asset by deadline next season.rony31;2518557 said:
But man, I can't wait to see that retarded face of Primo Brezec's disappearing from my TV screen! Doug Smith calls him "The Gangster"... and damn right a punk ass little hypocritical b!tch he is! Apparently he was celebrating when he heard the news of Sam Vincent getting fired... and did I mention that he threatened to beat up the Orlando mascot?

Team Captain
Mitchell isn't leaving. I saw a press conference yesterday and both Bosh and Collangelo stated that Mitchell will be back next year.
I am proud of Bosh, he might not be the most talented in the league but he is the best on our team and he tried his best the last game vs Orlando if you watched it.

and you're right, Rasho's a UFA but it's a player option, so I guess he can stay another year or terminate, up to him.

not his fault by any means. rockets had injuries, but some of the blame has to go to adelman. i followed the kings of the early 2000s very closely, and he is a great offensive coach, but defense was never his priority. this team is defensively deficient anyway without ming, so it did not surprise me when the jazz went off on them. they were just hitting everything in sight... and for the love of god, why did it take for boozer to hit 3 shots in a row for adelman to realize dikembe cannot guard him? in any case, they were beaten by a better team. rockets 22 game win streak was an aberration that cannot be explained.

wow. spurs get raped first game. didn't see this coming. they hung tough until NO put them away big time in the fourth. another seriers that will be decided with home court advantage. probably NO in 7 unless popovich develops some sort of countermeasure for that swarming D that NO used on duncan.
detroit takes care of business too. east sucks though

Naw, I see the Spurs holding serve at home, and taking one in New Orleans. Either game 2 or 5.

i don't know. it could happen, NO and SA split their series in the regular season, and both teams won one on the road and one at home. Having said that, in the last game at home in regular season, NO won by 25. they won this one by 21... pattern? then again, not much in these playoffs has made sense.

yeah, plus they are a new team and we dont really know how they can respond under pressure in a tight playoff series. It's deff not easy to tell how things are going to turn out with new/young teams.
