    Have you ever met anyone who wants to compare Parker with Stockton? Or Gino with AI?

    Okey let me ask you, do you put kobe's first 3 rings as equal to shaq's first 3 rings?
    Do you rank wade ahead of lebron all time because he has one more ring?
    Do you put wade's ring last year as equal to lebron's ring last year?

    Again, I am never eliminating the importance of winning. But the way its won, its vital not to ignore.

    Your certainly trying to push the value of kobe's first 3 rings, they were as second fiddle. deal with it :cool:

    Of course not. Who the hell has even suggest that?
    No. Like I said, body of work, consistency, matters.
    No. LeBron was the best player so his means more. Wade's ring from 2006 tops LeBron from last year though.
    His first ring I would say is mostly Shaq. After that, especially against Indiana, Kobe was almost equal to Shaq. You have to remember that no guard would ever be Finals MVP playing with Shaq in that period. Even Jordan. Doesn't mean Jordan wouldn't be the best ever.

    Wade is not playing today.. Heat are 15 wins 3 losses last year without him.

    heat defence looks so much better today.

    now the heat is choking, they were leading by 19 at one point..and now its 7 point game.
    once lebron sat out start of 4th denver made a 6 - 0 run to cut it to 7

    I hope bron gets 4 more rebounds, for sake of triple double... its worth 500 points in one fantasy leagues i participate.

    It's because Wade didn't play. He was the jinx. ;)

    the sample size is too little to say much, they only played 2 tough games i think. Spurs on the road, and miami at home .

    The main problem in the east now, and inflated records will be injuries.
    Bulls has the best record in east last 2 years, they have their best player derrick rose injured all year.
    Pacers, finished 3rd in east last year.They have their best player granger out 3 months.
    Sixers, finished 8th in east last year.But made round 2 in playoffs.They lost iguodala, and the player they got in return andrew bynum wont play till january.
    Orlando, finished 6th in east last year. They lost dwight howard.
    Atlanta finished 5th in east last year, they lost joe jhonson.

    Thats like 4- 5 teams in the east right now, out of 8 in playoffs last year who are weaker then last year. Actually last week in 25 meetings... west teams won 19 times over eastern sides.So the records of eastern teams will be inflated, due to playing many poor teams.

    This is why I think Miami heat wont put effort in regular season..and make it to the playoffss well rested.

    You failed to mention how many games we are talking. If it was 8 games it's not that impressive.

    Thats my problem. Defensively, will Amare make them better, or fit in? We will see.

    That's like asking if your maths class would be better if Einstein arrived. Or. I mean the other way around. I don't know how to do that.

    At this point there is no reason to bench Brewer since he’s doing a great job but politics are politics and Amare’s contract is huge so he’ll play.

    But eff it The Knicks are playing great. That’s all I care about.

    Ever since woodson took over the knicks from D'antoni ( with no D :D ), they went 18 - 6 in regular season last year... and now 6 - 1..
    in total 24 - 7 in regular season, and just 1 loss at home which was against the miami heat on april 15.
    In playoffs last year, they lost 4 - 1 to heat.But I am now have the feeling if they were playing anyone else then the heat... they could have gone far.

    The key been defence imo, and woodson.

    World Peace went nuts yesterday. I would argue that Lakers can't be beaten when he goes 5-10 from 3. He's such a x-factor for this team.

    Definitely in the mix. Z-Bo is back to 100%.

    Portland beat Houston in overtime last night. Damian Lillard is really fun to watch with his late game heroics and is an early frontrunner for ROY. He was killing Lin, they had to sit Lin in OT.
