They're protesting the fact that nothing has been done about the horrible coaching, management, ownership, and contract mess.

I think our future isn't that bad. I know we will miss Gerald, and I hope we get him back before his career ends somehow, but we had to take the value of the trade now before we can't get rid of him if we wanted to.

Preparing to play Friday because of a shorthanded lineup?

Jordan could make nine. Hell, sign Pippen and Rodman to 10-day deals while you're at it.

I don't like it. Detox could have been a great album but the sound (judging by that single) is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.

Let Me Ride -> Still D.R.E. -> I Need a Doctor (Dre didn't produce this but still)

Disappointment.

I just meant the video. The song was better than most current rap but below Dre standards.

CLE is doing funny things to NYK.

Nick Young vs. Dwayne Wade is pretty good too.

Wish we had Young. Dude can shoot buckets.

American Idol contestants this year has some if not the best talent overall since it's inception. A handful of really talented vocals this season.

JLo is pathetic though.

I was so excited during the auditions, but I think they screwed up with the top 24. The went too much for the side story angle and not enough for the pure talent angle.

There are some people in the top 24 that shouldn't even have made it past the group stage in Hollywood.

I actually think that JLo has been ok and Steve Tyler is a total dude. Be happy for Randy to pack it in though.

She's been pretty good, but she gets too emotional about eliminating people and yeah you can tell Randy's getting old and worn out. I haven't seen the top 24 yet, i'm still watching the elimination round where they cut it down to 24.

Agreed.

I really don't like Titty Gibson too much, but I love that he just drilled that 3 ball.

You had me with Titty and lost me with he.

Good win by the Cavs.

Knicks have no center along with having no depth on the bench. That'll kill them in the playoffs and Philly might actually surpass them.

I hope they completely fall apart. Beating them somehow in the playoff race would be sooo satisfying.

Over at the Knicks forum fans are calling for D'Antoni's head.

Realgm is here for you to amuse you. Never gets old.

Just in case for the record, the wiretap is

Several hours after more than one third of his team failed to show up for a morning shootaround as a 'player protest', John Kuester was ejected from Detroit's 110-94 loss at Philadelphia.

Tracy McGrady, Rodney Stuckey and Rasheed Wallace were televised laughing as Kuester walked off the court following his ejection.

Those three players, along with Austin Daye and Chris Wilcox also missed practice and were in uniform, but did not play. The Pistons played just six players.

Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince were not in uniform.
