I can't believe the Jazz beat the Suns in Phoenix. They did really good in the first few games of the last few seasons, so I'm reserving judgement on just how good they are. Still I can't believe they did it.
I have to count you as one of the real basketball fans, Uprising. I think enjoying watching the Spurs play is almost an acid test for being a real fan. It is always real fun to watch an effective team IMO. What do you think about the Nets, Uprising? A friend from high school in Arizona moved to Brooklyn, and he's a big Nets fan now.

I actually hate the Nets. Probably more than any other. Although the Lakers and Celtics fall pretty close. NY only has room for one NBA team, and that's the Knicks . It also doesn't help that the Nets always destroy the Knicks. I'm not a fan of Jason Kidd or Richard Jefferson and I really didn't like Kenyon Martin when he was on the Nets either. |

Anyway, 2 games in and the Nuggets are already killing me. All those articles about the improved offense and Anthony's eagerness to take over the leadership mantle should have tipped me off And you can see her Before it cracks and goes out She throws rocks at streetlights Keeps the streetlight changer busy Floundering Customs Thread |

This whole "team" concept is a big reason why so many players from overseas are in the NBA now and why Team USA can't seem to win anymore. For those about to scape, we salute you. |

Back to what your saying about Euros dominating international BB right now Noodles. I agree. We are getting beat in a sport in which we should DOMINATE in. I think we have WAY more raw but unrefined talent than those guys ever could. I don't think you'll ever see someone of Kobe's talent come from overseas. I'm not discrediting them, but they just don't have the raw talent imho. Dirk is pretty freakin good though. I see the problem as inexperience and age. I mean, a lot of NBA players are young guys, 21,22,23. It seems all they care about is getting on SportCenter and Dunky BasketBall. I don't think the whole Team phase happens until they are in the league for some time if at all. Plus, trades are happening so often that a player never stays in one place to long, with the exception of Reggie Miller who refused to leave the Pacers, even after he was well past his prime. 18 years I think. I'm adding this snipet in just to reiterate my point about this being Shaq's last year. The Heat played without center Shaquille O'Neal, who bruised his left knee in Friday's win at New Jersey. O'Neal is day-to-day. The guy gets hurt left and right and the smallest injuries put him out for a long time. I've never had a NBA type injury, sh*t I've never even broken a bone, but this guy is every other week. |

BTW, does anyone ever read Steve Kerr's columns on Yahoo Sports? I think he's right on with a lot of stuff. They're always a good read.
