J. Richardson out for the warriors? that sucks, they really need him. They don't really have a go to guy, not like the good teams anyways.
Washington Wizards maybe restructuring like the GS, but they have a better record at 19-13, unlike the GS Warriors at 11-23. I think the Warriors need some more W's and less L's, they lack in a lot of areas. Basically it is obvious, they need a stronger "D" and a better scoring punch, maybe when J. Richardson comes back, GS will start winning some more games. :fingerscrossed:
Seattle won yesterday against the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets soared behind McGrady's 45 points, and The Phoenix Suns are still rolling and the first team to hit 30 victories and have only 4 loses, going to be a record season??, maybe? like when the Bulls had 72-10 record.
:rofl:

I remember dat season sorta, da bulls had, 72-10 with Jordan and Pipen right? didn't they also go on to win da championship that year??
i haven't kept up lately with basketball, and i dunno wat teams is my favorite anymore. I wonder tho, if Lebron will b anywhere near as good as kobe, Tmac, or da Jordan that was in his prime.

what's with you guys, hate the Suns already?? :shakehead:
They may cool off, but fact is they are the best team right now. Too bad the Warriors suck so much, they can't buy a win thesedays. Don't get me wrong, i like the warriors, but i hate to see them lose so damn much, it's frustrating. :shamefulcry:
ahhhh the Lakers won tonight :usuck: , Minnesota choked!! 16 treys, nice shooting, but it was a lucky night tonight for them. I'd say, live by the three, die by the three. It's obvious, without shaq, Lakers lack strength inside and have to rely on the trey's.

Seattle's got the same problem, yet they've beaten the Heat twice in a span of about a week. Go figure.
Anyways, the T-Wolves seem to be sucking this year for some reason... They're barely better than the Clips record-wise...

I have to admit they're good but I've never really been a Suns fan my whole life so seeing them play this good is a bit of a culture shock to me. But the reason why I say that they're not going to win 72 is that they clearly lack that great player. When the Bulls won 72 they had the proven leader in MJ who could dig this team out of the grave if they ever fell into a losing streak and their only losing streak that year was 2 I believe. The Suns have Nash but Nash is no where near where Michael is and another big thing about winning 72 games is having to be able to play shut down defense. I can't even begin to tell you how many times the Bulls came out of half time and pressed the defense buttong to stop their opponents. Sure the Suns are a very potent offense, but defensively they're mediocre.
well, i can see your point, MJ could do anything and brought the bulls on his shoulders. Nash is not that kind of player and the defense of the phoenix suns is probably ok, but not with the same intensity as the bulls had. I have not yet seen a player in the nba today with the same offensive/defensive intensity as Michael did for the bulls. He brought the NBA to a whole new level.
The Suns beat the Heat 122-107, and stoudemire had a 34 point effort and Shaq score 30 something points too for the Heat. Clearly, Stoudemires season is amazing and that Nash's addition to the suns has helped them greatly this season, their record shows. On a sadder note the Sonics beat the Clips 104-99. Magguette scores 20 in a losing effort and i think Ray Allen shoots 5-10 in threes and scores over 30 in that game.

Also another thing about the Suns is that no one projected them to play this good. They were projected to be an 8th or 7th seed so for them to play this good is surely surprising, and that's another reason why I think they'll cool off. But statistically they're on pace to break 72 and I think it'd be cool to have another team break it or even come close. Records are made to be broken after all :D

any1 gunna break dat anytime soon?
Probably not...unless a game goes into many overtimes. Especially not in today's NBA. I had to look up the recent scoring records. The last man to score over 70 recently was David Robinson in 1994 (71 to be exact).
a 100 point game, probably not anyone in the nba thesedays. I think the closest was 50 something or 60 points in a game. Tracy McGrady scored a big one this season, Dirk Nowitsky, Allen Iverson. But i don't think they are capable of scoring more than say 70 points in a game.
MJ's highest was no more than 70, and D. Robinson did that once.
in a 48 min game, figuring the nba player plays all 48 min in that game, they would have to score more than 2 point per min played, i don't see how that is possible unless the player goes off scoring from every angle, every spot on the floor. Wilt probably did it back in the day, since no one was big enough, good enough to stop in from inside, he owned everything in the paint. Thesedays, not very many players can score in the paint with that ease, the defense is more competitve and Shaq cannot even put up those high numbers.
The sad thing is, the S.F. Chron -- the local freakin' paper --- has a whole article in this morning's sports section about how Shaq is going to beat the crap out of, and make a fool of, the Warriors' Adonal Foyle tonight.
They're basically talking about how the Warriors will just throw bodies at Shaq, and once he beats each one to a bloody pulp, they'll drag him off the floor and throw someone else into the meat grinder.

Some of the bloom might be off the rah-rah rose.
Yeah... 6 losses in a row since Richardson went down. :banghead:
-PCM
Warrior's will not even be close, i'd say they will lose big tonight, unfortunately. :sweat: :shamefulcry:
sad but true, no one on the Warriors frontline will stand a chance against the Shaq Attack.

if you know a bit about Wilt Chamberlain...he cherry picked a lot..which means you linger on the other side of the court and wait till your teammate passes to you, but Wilt Chamberlain was a great athelete
Phoenix Suns dropped one against Utah Jazz, looks like that record of 72-10 by the bulls will not be broken, nonetheless, Suns will have a good record this year thanks to Stoudemire, Nash, and Marion, the big three of Phoenix.
Warriors dropped one against the Miami, closer than i thought. Dwayne wade was out, so was J. Richardson for the warriors. Also, Dallas lost against the Rockets as McGrady scored 30, 6-8 of three's.
Lakers lost against Denver Nuggets as Kobe only manages 16 points, I think C. Butler had 18 to lead the Lakers. The Clips won against Seattle. :woot:
Clippers and Minnesota have the same record currently at 17 wins and 17 loses, a few games back from the 18-15 Lakers. Minnesota doesn't look that great this year, even though K. Garnett is tearing down the rebounds and scoring well. The clippers look decent, and will be better hopefully when their starting guards return to the lineup from the injured list.
