i thought the shaq deal would help the suns...but it didn't.

They don't even utilize Shaq correctly and Amare BLOWS GOATS playing defense. Seriously the guy never shows up big in the playoffs on the defensive side. You got no name players like Carl Landry manning up to play D. Amare runs and hides when he faces Duncan and the same goes for Nash with Parker. D'Antoni has done a horrible job so far.

The Pistons are in trouble. You don't expect to pull the lightswitch with a team that plays hard all 48. The same lazy mentality that allowed LeBron James to beat them almost singlehandedly last year.

as Parker and Ginobli do what they please, how much is Phx missing the picks that could've been wing defenders AI2 ('04) and Rondo ('06) now?

the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

The owner is known to be cheap but signed off on the trade for 3 more years of shaq at 20 mill per!? Yet doesnt want to go over the luxury tax by drafting rookies?

That doesn't make sense at all! Do Shaq and Nash expire at the same time? maybe they will rebuild through free agency when those two expire because they sure as hell arent doing it through the draft.

The Pistons rode this horse for too long. They needed a shake-up last season. They remind me of the spree, and Houston years......they clicked but that's **** wears off eventually. The players can still play but the thrill is gone......that perfect team **** has lost its luster.

Pheonix did the right thing to try and mix up the team, but the probably need to do another lateral move of some kind. Maybe get Vince or even Arenas.

At least Bosh came to play in these playoffs vs last yr. The Raptors need a rugged big man next to him and a little perimeter D. They should go after Pietrus and use Ford and filler to get some interior help.

Pheonix blowing that first game killed the series--they went flat the next game and SA pounded them game 3. It would be much more interesting if the Suns finished off game 1. They are done in game 5.

Same thing happened to the Rangers. You cant lose a playoff game up 3-0 on the road[or at home] and the second game hold Pitt to 1 goal for 3 periods and not counter.

thats why the play the games briggs. i'd say dallas is done, phoenix still has a puncher's chance b/c of all the swag and vets on the team. i wouldn't be surprised if j-kidd gets suspended for a game, he took a cheap shot at pargo. not like it matters, CP3 even said after the game i hope kidd can play (i dont think CP3 is tired of punking kidd for the entire series).

i think 2nd round will ultimately be LAL/UTAH and SAS/NO.

i hope kobe guards deron williams, i really don't like that guy.

Somehow that game seemed to determine who will win the series. I don't think Suns can come back, not against the Spurs

Josh Smith is abusing the Celtics with his defense and offense.
