I really like T.J. Ford, and Bosh is quite a player, but it seems like the rest of their team is the best of the C.B.A. or something. I.E. not so good, I mean don't get me wrong Anthony Parker was a great find, but they've got to get some more talent on that team before they go anywhere. They need an elite 2 guard.

He's taking over as the "Human Highlight Reel"
yea, the Raps need to do a little more building. I think TJ Ford was a lot of the reason they lost the first 2 games. He shot a total of 11% because he was trying to force it.

Heh, woops I didn't know that. But there a few basketball players that will have my infinite respect regardless of how they fare on the court-such as T.J. Ford, Grant Hill, Salim Stoudamire, & B.J. Armstrong.......also Jason Williams who has continued to try out for the Nets, and hasn't made it all the way back yet, but it would be nice to see him back, though.

Salim was awesome in the NCAA. Grant Hill is a stud..in the beginning of career before all the ankle injuries he was an amazing player, and still is for what hes gone through.

Josh Smith, under the dar for sure. I think they were talking about him on TNT when they brought up the record for most blocked shots under the age of 22, which he holds above some big names... But I'm still celebrating the lakers victory tonight (and the only sweep of the playoffs so far) and I was wondering if anyone could argue Hawks > Nuggets? i can't imagine. What the hell is going on??? The lakes are here to PLAY... they just destroyed, in so many ways, a 50 win team in one of the saddest series I've ever seen. the powerhouses of the east are looking embarrassing... more of a rant than a post I guess

I would also have to add Alonzo Mourning to list of players I have infinite respect for, (unless they end up killing somebody, or something similarly terrible)
What is Josh Smith - 6'9"? I wonder if he also set the record for blocks in a year by a player who's under 6'10" You rarely see them lead in blocks.

"On March 3, 2007, Smith broke the 500 block mark, making him the youngest player to do so in NBA history."

Also, in his rookie year he finished second in the league in blocks. And yea, he's only 6'9".

phoenix game in a couple mins. They got this >.<

I don't understand why anybody would have fun rooting for a team like the spurs, not only have they had plenty of time to shine in the post-season, they incredibly boring to watch.

I don't care about the statistics, Tim Duncan is ****ing boring.

Matious

If you think the Spurs are boring to watch, you know nothing about how Basketball is supposed to be played. To a fan of the game itself, the Spurs are the pinnacle of the last 10 years.

Duncan is fabulous; every player over 6'10" should aspire to be like Tim Duncan.

Josh Smith is one of the unique players the game has ever seen. It's doubtful he'll go down as an all-time great but he could become an All-NBA player for 3-5 years before all is said and done. He's the kind of guy that could average 20 points 10 rebounds 3 blocks and 3 steals a game.

Also he won a Dunk contest, I believe as a Rookie and has improved significantly in each season since he left HS for the NBA.
