it appears that the magic will have jameer nelson for the finals. should be interesting to see whether van gundy keeps his faith in the guys that have been successful or go to his all star PG

id play him... on restricted minutes unless he proves he hasnt taken a backstep

game two at 10:00am on ESPN, for those who have foxtel.
Go Lakers.

Lakers are victorious once again. Good news for the Cavs fans, because i would love to see the Lakers win 4-0.

Just wondering if you guys post on any other fourms that are more dedicated to the NBA. I post on RealGm boards and the IGN boards. IGN boards are the best ones a lot of nolegible guys there are some NBA players post their.

Glad to see the pair of you have thought of a title for your auto-biographies.

shaq a cavalier next season. almost a done deal.

cavs get: o'neal
suns get: wallace and pavlovic

who do reckon gets the better deal.

draft is on tomorrow. patty mills almost a certainty to get picked up and im hoping joe ingles will fit in somewhere

 

[ROB SHARK]

I know there are a few cavs fans on the site, what do you think of you most likely getting shaq?

 

[brad]

i think its a good thing. the playoffs showed we aren't strong enough down low and he will more than fix that up. wallace and pavlovic dont play much anyway so to give them to up for one of the top 10 centres in the game is a massive plus. especially if we are serious about winning a title before lebron goes off contract. the aquisition of diesel will also be good for the younger blokes like hickson and jackson to learn from from one of the best bigmen of all time

 

[Mr Wright]

Shaq on the Cavs is a massive plus. He is the first post threat we've had in years. Plus we got rid of two garbage players (no disrespect ben, sasha i dont care for) for someone that will majorly help us against a lot of teams. Shaq will help on Orlando's Dwight pick and roll. Instead of 3 players rolling along with Dwight and therefore keeping there 3 point shooters open we can just have Shaq put his body up against Dwight and keep there shooters with pressure on them.

Plus the Magic just got a whole lot worse because they can't re-sign Hedo now that they have old man Carter and it looks like OKC are really gunning for Gortat. They also lose Courtney Lee, so that will mean Pietrus will have to come onto the starting lineup. Pietrus, Lee and Gortat were the Orlando bench production and the only person they gained is a scrub sophmore in Ryan Anderson. There bench will be oh so week next year.

I can only see 4 teams winning it next year

Cavs (Shaq addition and most likely Charlie Villanueva addition)
Spurs(Richard Jefferson and Dejuan Blair addition)
Celtics(when KG's healthy)
Lakers(If they keep one of Odom or Ariza. HOPEFULLY NOT BOTH!)
