    The best finals I ever remember watching was the same 2 teams a few years back. Alonzo Mourning is my all time favorite player and I figured that was his last shot to get a ring and when they went down 2-0 I was pretty depressed but then they came back and won, pure awesomeness
    The refs had a helping hand in that finals.

    Jason Kidd used to be one of my favorite players but when I went to see him play the sixers he injured his thumb in the first quarter :( but I can't say enough about that guy, he is so smart on the court and with the basketball
    Plus he did this: :D

    They had an even bigger helping hand in the 2002 WCF, a series I honestly believe was there for Sacramento's taking.

    We really need them to agree because tonight I randomly thought about Dennis Rodman's wrestling days.

    stopped by the lockout hotel today in the city to say hello to some of the NBA writers I know from my time covering it, they seemed pretty optimistic that this nonsense would end soon.

    with this lockout, i forgot about dwight
    1. Howard to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum and two first-round picks: This has been the most rumored deal in various incarnations, and it hasn’t happened because Jim Buss doesn’t want to trade Bynum anywhere, for anyone. But with new coach Mike Brown on the sidelines and Kobe Bryant finally starting to show some wear and tear, now is the time.

    The Magic can’t do any better than this. They get back the only center who can stay in a discussion with Howard, allowing them the flexibility to continue to play inside-out or entirely rebuild their roster around Bynum, whose health issues are definitely a concern. It also allows them to keep a good coach on the sidelines instead of placating a prima donna.

    ODDS: 10-1. Can’t see this deal expanded to include Lamar Odom or Ron Artest, although Matt Barnes could be a throw-in. Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Superman – the tradition continues. Just do it already.

    if this deal goes through - it will definitely be a fraud ... orchestrated by the nba to keep propping up the lakers ... the gasol deal was a fraud ... this would be worse ...

    Of course it all could fall apart like last week but it's the first glimmer of hope I've had and I'd rather hear it from some of the writers I know than some of the players/owners.

    I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and I agree... I'd much rather hear it from some of the writers than either of the sides.

    cool ... mixed feelings ... happy for the fans and those whose livelihood depends on the nba but a year of spoiled owners and players not making the money they are used to appealed to me as well ... plus the raptors weren't gonna do anything this year anyways ...
