NBA passion (3 Viewers)

[Tommy_Lamp]

alot of players who made it to the later rounds of the playoff's arent playing because they need rest, like hot sauce said.

oh, and slammindas, wait until the end of the year when i actually start playing again and ill gladly kick your ass

Divac said a few months ago that he did not see himself as the best center for the former Yugoslavia. He chose to pass on the olympic games as a result.

Stojakovic is taking a rest. He will be in Greece but will not play.

thanks for the feedbacks...i was browsing NBA.com today and found out about why other superstars choose not to play...but there was nothing on peja, who i thought will definitely be part of the team. thanx

No problem.

I myself was looking forward to seeing Peja play for SCG once more, especially since the games are in Greece and he has quite a few connections to the Greeks (speaks the language fluently, married to a Greek). Prior to the commencement of the games I thought that if any team had a chance to beat the US, it would have been a Peja-led SCG team.

Aussies almost won. If only we could have held on in the final quarter. Smith and Heal where knocking heaps from behind the arc. Shows you how much the rest of the world has caught up to America in basketball. Though i must admit, USA showed its class in the 4th quarter, especially Dwayne Wade. He was great throughout the game.

 

[ravenheart]

true.. gotta admit Dawanye Wade is awesome, so is Lebron James in fast-breaks, definitely not from the arc...the aussies were hot from the arc..but hard to isolate the shooters when the US was playing close defence and man-on-man,

 

[slammindas]

lebron james may not be he best shooter but he isnt only good at fast breaks. He has excellent vision and penetration and the ability to finish

Michael Kingma is off chasing the big bucks in Europe and he's on the Dutch National Team and he is their star centre

and hes gonna be in star wars, what a champion.
what a shame he's gone though

btw america: no medals for you :uhhuh:

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

felix: they can still win bronze if they beat Lithuania, but i dont think they will

Final Standings
1. Argentina (Ginobli you kick ass)
2. Italy (Nice try Rombaldoni, pity Galanda choked)
3. US (Marion I hate you)
4. Lithuania (Jasikevicius you still rule)

im happy with that, except i would have prefered Greece in 3rd and US without a medal lol

When does the NBA restart? Cause the WNBA was halted for the olympics, but what about the NBA.

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

the NBA always starts in Nov.

 

[reno2004]

Damn too long without NBA, this isnt good. I never had ESPN before so I didnt realise there was such a long break.

 

[felix_js]
