Yeah keep sucking... They won't get shabazz though as Phoenix gets their #1st Round pick from the Steve Nash trade

I have no problem with that been called a catch... His left hand was always under the ball... To me I thought it was a catch anyway...

Yeah Ebden choked harder than Lleyton Hewitt usually does...

I'm still watching it... I was annoyed with Rudy for the first few eps of season 3 but he has easily become my favorite character now...

I liked season 4 as well... Didn't really care for the new characters at first but they got better as it went on...

The season 4 finale felt like season 1/2 of misfits and hopefully that quality continues into season 5...

Yeah I'm interested too... So let me know...

The New Orleans Hornets are changing their name to the New Orleans Pelicans...

The name change could come in as early as the 2013/14 season apparently...

Just read that on ESPN...

Pau for Boozer isn't happening... A deal for Pau definitely does need to happen though if the Lakers want to win a title this year...

I think they need to try and swing some sort of deal with Toronto for Bargnani & Calderon... I think they'd be a good fit and Pau could benefit from this change of scenery as well but I just don't know who else LA could give up at the moment...

The Bobcats have a winning record

Lin and Asik are both due more than $14.5 mill in their third year of the deal apparently... Which is why both New York and Chicago were never going to match the deals they signed... and with Harden set to be on and around the same as well... The luxury tax penalties that they were going on about a couple of months back will be absurd too, I really just can't see them spending that much on another player...

I'm more than likely gonna be wrong about them getting another max deal but jeez even New York balked at the idea of having Melo, Amare, Chandler and Lin all at 14.5 Mill... I can't see Houston spending big and actually luring someone of decent talent there...

Houston are going to have Lin, Harden and Omer Asik making more than $45.5 million combined between them come 2013-14 I think it is, might be 14/15... If Harden signs like he says he is going to... Until I'm proved otherwise I think that is a massive waste of money...

I find it doubtful they'll get anyone major going there...

I'm one of the few who actually thinks OKC got the better of this deal...

Harden was pretty horrible in last years NBA finals from what I can remember watching... He'll never be "the" guy on a team that's going to win... I just don't see it working out for him... Houston are going to be overpaying big time IMO... Unless they can swing another deal as somebody else has mentioned, I just see Houston been irrelevant for some time now... Cook, Aldrich and Hayward aren't all that important in the deal to me either...

OKC get back a decent shooter/scorer in Martin and a young player with a ton of potential... I'd be taking those two over Harden as well... Then the other two potential draft picks, both could be lottery picks, as nobody knows really how Dallas will be this year, and Toronto isn't anything special...

Every way I see this deal, OKC wins it easily and I still think they'll be one of the top two teams in the west...

So predictions time people? I'm going to give mine anyway as I don't think too much is going to happen between now and the start of the season anyway...

sweet... for some reason I thought it started half hour ago and was stressing that I couldn't find the draft lobby

I'm going to have to pull out of this guys... Sorry!

Moving house this week and won't be getting the net put on and will just be using my phone... So no online for me for awhile

Have fun guys

Man, I really wish we got this In Australia

I'm ready whenever!

I want in too please... I should also hopefully be off on this day as well...

Oh ok... I swear there is someone in our league with the "plubby" username using the Giants... I just assumed it was you lol

You weren't involved before? I thought you were the Giants lol

Yeah I'm pretty easy as long as we don't have to fuck around with preseason and what not, just start with the regular season...

That happened to me yesterday when I did that too trench

Well that sucked got the win over the Falcons 27-21, was tight... However Matt Cassel went down with an injury and will be out for awhile he was playing good too... Then Brady Quinn comes in and sucks ass! Gonna give Quinn the start next week unless I can find a decent QB via trade as none of the FA really interest me, even though McNabb used to be a favorite of mine...

So who has a decent QB for me now lol

I think this is the first Dallas game I've actually watched Maxx and jesus christ, Romo is horrible...

Anyone catch 666 Park Ave?

What's peoples thoughts on it? Saw an ad that it started last night here in Australia but I missed it, so might need to download the first episode...
