Meh. I can handle that more than I can handle Kobe winning another...would rather Magic win it to be honest (after the Suns of course)...unless a team like POR can get it all together and make a run

They already have Green, Durant and Westbrook in the backcourt so Harden will probably come off the bench, at least this year anyway.

how does Wade not make All-NBA first team? hes top 3 in the NBA, easy.

MaryvalesFinest · Post #12 » by **MaryvalesFinest** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:11 pm

When they name the teams it goes by SG and PG and not just two guards. At least I think so anyway :lol:

yeah, probably. unless sefolosha (? how the crap do you spell that?) sucks, which is what i'm hoping for. then again, i still think he can be better then DeMar DeRozen, at the very least- bench, or no bench.

lol, i only wrote that because I'm a HUGE ASU fan, and someone needs to throw in support.

MVP- Lebron
Def Player of the Year- Wade
Rookie of the Year- Curry
6th Man of the Year- Terry or a Laker/Spurs player (ugh)
Coach of the Year- Eddie Jordan or Van Gundy
Most Improved- Bass or Shannon Brown

Now that Bass is a starter on the Magic I expect big things from him. I mean the Magic were the only undefeated team in the preseason (8-0) so I guess I have high hopes for them with the addition of Bass, Carter, and Barnes.

Has it ever paid off to be a Clips fan?

On that note has it ever paid off to be a Suns fan . . . :-?

I think so. They've taken us on incredible journeys, regardless of which generation you're a part of. The lack of a champioinship doesn't invalidate how significant a part they've been in my life. Impulsenine's sig very eloquently captures why we're still fans even after decades of hearbreak.
