look man I didn't say they couldn't ball and if I was running a fantasy team I would pick duncan, but I don't like them never been a fan of the spurs, nothing against them, but I just don't like them. period end of story.

ahhhh...relief at last.

all good things must come to an end.

no more stress, no more anxiety, no more angst.

Lakers had a good run for 3 years.

They treated this year like sh*t, and got it shoved right in their face.

Time to re-tool.

[IggyWH]

Yes, re-tool by getting some of those tools off the team and bringing in people who deserve to play on a championship team!

I disagree there, Iggy.

Horry has been very good for us, and he deserved the chance to fail.

We can't be like the Bulls and cast folks off without the chance to allow them to defend what they've earned.

Now, it's time to sign Horry to a much cheaper contract, put Fisher and Fox on the bench. And find a power forward, perhaps Juwan Howard.

[IggyWH]

I have no problem with Horry at all... I actually like him a lot but he isn't a 4. He needs to play a constant 3 with someone who's better at hitting open looks than Fisher and someone to bump uglies underneath with Shaq.

[podstock]

Iggy..exactly! Horry was badly overmatched by Duncan, and hence got burned.

Sort of like playing Shawn Bradley vs Shaq.

You need a bigger body and more of an offensive force, like Juwan Howard. Horry is definitely more of 3; and he's only going to give 15-20 good minutes at this point in his career. You can't be playing him 35+ minutes, which was what happened when Fox went down with the peroneal tendon tear.

I'd love to see Spurs v. Mavs in the West. It's pretty much the NBA Finals!

Although I'd love to see my Mavs go all the way I think the Spurs match up better and would probably take them.


:D

I'd love to see Sacramento in the Finals. I had hoped they would make it last year until they got romped by LA.

It looks like the Kings will get past the Mavs. I thought the Kings were done after they lost Webber but they have put up a very very good fight.

BTW plunge if you don't mind me asking what did you get at the store?

[gioperation]

I would rather see the mav's play the spurs since both team are pretty much healthy and the kings who I like are not healthy, or have webber out.
