Nice win by the Blazers today, especially a Sunday afternoon in a city like Toronto.

maybe the NBA has to study the process of choosing the all-star starters. imagine if all chinese vote for yi. :eek:

Although it does do some good. It keeps Shaq from being the Starting center in the West

the whole team has been in the victories. I saw the Pistons today and in noon game - total no-show by them in the fourth. I'm not sure if this Iverson trade is going to work out for them - they're definitely not beating Boston and likely won't beat Cleveland.

Pistons are looking like the East Coast version of the Suns. They need to rebuild around Stuckey, Tayshaun and Amir Johnson. And that basically means the Pistons will be in trouble for quite awhile.

Prince has leadership material written all over him. After today's game, Curry was discussing the impending re-signing of McDyess like it was going to be the great lift while Prince countered by saying he's not going to save us, that they have to do it themselves.

I hope Yi and Lebron start the All-star game after seeing this video. Garnett sure is a cocky P.O.S. now isn't he? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iarveOvcNws

He's got to go after the last player on our bench.

Big Baby should have punched him.

It's almost as bad as when Garnett was going off on Jose Calderon. Garnett is the Sean Avery of the NBA.

I wouldn't go that far. He's just very intense on the court.

Maybe, but there are guys that have pulled worse nonsense than Garnett wagging his finger in some guy's face.

you took a taunting clip and compared to probably Avery's least offensive incident ... KG's not throwing around racist coments like Avery's monkey comment ... or disparaging girlfriends in the press.

it's a bit of a stretch.

Reggie Miller, Jordan, hell, even larry Bird all taunted their opponents ... I'll admit, KG takes it a step too far at times, but, trash talking is a part of the culture of the NBA.

you beat to me it, Jordan's tongue-wagging, Miller's running dialogue with Spike Lee were all part of the trash-talking game within the game. Off the court, Garnett is 10 times the human being Avery will ever be.

garnett has become a swelled-head since winning a ring. he's taking his trash talking too far.

he picks on small guys like calderon & bayless, but walks away on pachulia of the hawks.
