The Rest of the NBA

[WEST is GOD]

They'll be good but to say they will be anywhere near as good as last year is ignorant IMO. Amare is their best player not Nash.

[ice grillin you]

the nets are easily going to win the atlantic

i cannot get a read on the sixers at all

[PhillyPhreak54]

My only concern with the Sixers is that bench depth.

Is Johnny Salmons finally going to contribute?
Can Lee Nailon do what he did in NO here?
Can Kevin Ollie help out backing up AI?

Billy The King must get some bench help at some point this year. I'd like to see him use that Mashburn contract to get a good 6th man.

I think Igoudala is going to be a stud. And of course CWebb and AI are gonna do their thing.

The whole Nets season is riding on Vince Carter being as productive as he was for half of last season. I don't think that is a lock. The guy is soft and can disappear for weeks in a season because of a bruised ego. Whenever your season rides on someone as soft as Vince, then you are in trouble. On top of that I hate the Nets and will never give them credit for anything.

I think Toronto traded for Mike James with Houston. That's how Houston got Alston.

Shaq out for 2-4 weeks, and it's Ron Artest's fault.

[BigEd76]

The Lakers announced yesterday that Kobe and his wife are expecting their 2nd kid in May...

[PhillyPhreak54]

I can't read the article because like everything else on ESPN.com it is an Insider article but the front page says that Kevin Garnett could be dealt because he ripped McHale. The team that is linked to trade talks? The Knicks.

That would suck if he went to NY.

[MDS]

the knicks dont have anybody. they suck.
