as a fantasy GM, you decide how best to pick up the pieces and move on -- which is probably what larry bird and donny walsh are doing for the pacers now.

it's ok man...at least you received T-Mac to ease your pain.

kung ayaw mo sa kanya, trade mo na lang siya sa akin

napanood niyo yung today on nbc kanina? they interviewed ron artest, he was promoting his rap album na :lol:

Well at least he got his publicity.

With Indiana's season all but finished the Heat and Pistons are the two title contenders left in the eastern conf. with the Magic as the darkhorse as long as Hill's ankle holds up. But am warry of the Heat, one injury to either Wade or O'neal then its bye bye to their title hopes.

You're forgetting Charlotte!!! hehe...

Natutuwa siguro Toronto, Boston, Philly, NY this year, lalaki chance nila maging conf champs :D

Oh the I forgot about the Bobcats hehe

, they way Dwight Howard is performing, getting double figure rebounds, makes me wonder if they made the right choice with Okafor who has a history of back problems.

Maybe... hard to tell based on "potential", I don't know how Howard would perform without Stevie and Hill taking most of the pressure from scoring... Emeka might be a better pillar to build on IMO... Besides, Charlotte didn't exactly not choose Howard, Orlando just got there first... if they were to prefer Howard over Okafor.

**ILuvDetailing** · November 24th, 2004 03:38 PM

My bad, forgot that Orlando got the 1st pick. Its hard to say who got the better player, we'll see that 2 or 3 yrs down the road, IMO i'll go for Howard, saw this kid play, he's a physical specimen, can run, jump, has good timing, he a nose for the ball. I'm just not sold on Okafor because of his history of back problems they just don't go away.

emeka just had a monster game against the pistons earlier. 22pts, 15rebs. ok na figures to sa fantasy team ko. :D

Dunno with Boston this year. On paper, they appear to be solid...but La Frentz just isn't contributing consistently. Ainge took a terrible chance getting him and wasting an entire season last year by trading away the last pieces of O'Brien's team.

I just don't know if they have the right pieces. They're too deep at shooting guard with Paul Pierce, Ricky Davis and Jiri Welsch. La Frentz looks more like he should be coming off the bench since he's been erratic lately (does anyone seriously think he's starting 5 material?).

On the upside, the Celtics had a good draft in Al Jefferson, Tony Allen and Delonte West. If Jefferson develops, he could be the cornerstone of the franchise at PF, finally giving them a low post scoring option.
