ReplyDeleteChip: Portland in the playoffs? Really?
ReplyDeleteZack: Tony Parker as MVP? I don't think he can produce the stats, and most awards are stat driven.
Spartacus: I don't think Detriot is going to be that good this year.
:)
ZACK! Comin' through with the 40 wins! Can I borrow them blue glasses yer sportin'??? ;)
ReplyDeleteand Chip...still showing a bit of Mavs loyalty...but they will not win b/c they now have EJ :)
hahaha....
ReplyDeletewhen we first got together and talked about this a month ago I was the most optimistic of us 3 about our playoff chances....I felt I needed to keep it that way, despite having my optimism cooled a bit after watching the preseason...
re: tony parker for mvp...
ReplyDeleteI think I just read on ESPN that Dr. Jack Ramsey agrees with me....i'll take that company....
he did win the Championship MVP after all....
:)
I feel a lot better about my Portland selection today than I did yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThe reason I picked Portland is that they have a great assembly of young talent and a super coach. I wanted to have a wild card name in the list and I thought about Memphis (too inexperienced as a team with a rookie coach), Seattle (too young), Minnesota (you have to be kidding), Sacramento (rookie coach and Bibby hurt), Lakers (too emotionally out of touch), Clippers (no Brand, no chance) and Portland (great coach, great young talent and depth). Looking at it that way the choice was simple.
