actually it could turn out to be a great trade for phoenix - amare playing the 4, diaw getting in a better rythym, shaq playing limited minutes and getting healthy for the playoffs to defend duncan. the suns don't fast break every time down the court, and when they don't, they'll have nash distributing to amare or shaq inside, or barbosa, bell, hill, or diaw on the perimeter. nash can make anything work. not to mention, the suns have the best training staff in the nba - they help those who have a history of injuries get and stay healthy; i.e. - Amare, McDyess, Nash, Hill. They can get Shaq into great shape too, no doubt.

okay, this seems to be what mike lupica is getting at (sportswriter for one of the ny dailys, for those not in the know):

First time FOR ME since the Shaq and Kobe era that watching Laker basketball has been exciting and fun. It makes me want to watch every game. That Suns game acouple weeks ago was great. To see those two teams in the Western Conference Finals would be sweet! I do have to admit though my first love are the Clippers...yeah I know. Hopefully before I die we'll at least make an NBA Finals appearance.

When Bynam gets back we are going to have an unstoppable starting line up: Kobe, Fisher, Sasha, Bynam, and Gasol and a bench that could be a starting linup for any other team in the NBA Farmar, Karl, Walton, Odum, and Turiaf no one in the NBA has a chance against the lakers :biggrin:

What kind of shit do they talk and how do they have no class? I lived in LA for two years and it sounds like you're talking about a majority of Laker fans (present company excluded of course).

I'm having trouble finding the stuff (apparently I hold a grudge more than Google), but I remember some unclassy comments by the Suns (Nash, Stoudamire, and D'Antoni, I believe) in previous seasons. I'll try to dig out a newspaper article I can quote or something.

But let's be honest, you don't want to get eliminated 3 years in a row by the same team in the playoffs, do you?

Of course not, but I haven't even followed the Lakers the past few seasons - since the Big-4 year (2003/04).

Yeah looks like it. Boston ain't looking too bad now that Garnett got his legs back and lets not count out the Cavs. Lebron got some help now. If he can keep his legs through the Playoffs then he could be a problem.

Shall we do a golfmkv.com bracket pool for the playoffs, once the teams are decided?

We don't have to actually put anything in, but I'll gladly set up a website where we can all set our picks and see how things go.

(Can you tell I'm excited? Last time I was enjoying NBA this much was the 2002-2003 season. :biggrin:)

I'm gonna' assume that was to me.

Well, I can whip up a quick website where you'd be able to select your picks for the playoff series winners. We could have accounts with the same usernames as here to easily keep track of people's success in predicting how things would go, and the winner can...be proud! We could all chip in for some ubercheap mod and the winner gets it, or something. Maybe something like a decent detailing job if enough of us want to partake in this? Or nothing - I'm sure everyone's wallet would vote for that.

Also, I wouldn't mind hurrying up a bit and getting this done by March Madness, if there's interest. Hell, it'd be a great test before the NBA playoffs. :biggrin:

What do y'all think? :w00t:, :thumbdown:, or :iono:?
