I thought Lowry > Alston straight up. I really liked that trade for them.

I actually think that Lowry > Brooks, but that I guess is arguable.

It's not arguable

Lowry is better than Brooks. He’s also been in the league a year longer. I think he should start mostly because his skills are better with the other starters and Brooks can offer more points off the bench

I thought Kleiza was fine

He’s just not very focused. Matt Barnes tries to do (and keep doing even after failing 100 times) things he couldn’t.

Like shooting contested 3’s early in the shot clock.

The best way to defend them is

dare Artest to shoot 3’s. That way they keep missing, Yao never gets the ball, and we can run off long rebounds.

Seriously, what do people see in Barnes?

He’s a very dumb basketball player, commits critically bad turnovers and has a horrible attitude in general. The only reason he was “good” in Golden State was because they had SJax, Davis, and Biedrins to cover up for him.

Phoenix – (41 – 34) – 7 to play – 6 + the Dallas game
Projected – 5-1
Wins – Sac, @Mem, @ Min, Mem , GSW
Loss – @ NO

Dallas – (45 – 30) – 7 to play – 6 + the Phoenix game
Projected – 2-4
Wins – @ Mem, Min
Losses – Uta, NO, @ NO, Hou

but considering that 3 of the projected 4 losses are at home for Dallas, we better beat New Orleans too :D

He effects the game more than any player in the league on defense

Don’t let announcers fool you. Yao is a good to really good defensive player. And this year his blocking of shots has gotten infinitely better. He’s not the greatest rebounder, but mostly because teams are allowed to pull on him like no other

lol what the hell just happened

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

Serious question

Has Shaq ever been called for three seconds? He’s great at moving all around the lane without actually getting anywhere near out of it

I feel sorry for Brent Barry.

 I think he should get out of the league, he’s in old NBA player purgatory right now, not good enough to make an impact but still healthy.
