Originally posted by no1marauderWhat a bunch of bs. If anything, Newble started in the traditional two spot, but Lebron played "Point Forward" which you probably have no concept of. Here is what 82games dot com thought were the different Cavalier line ups for that particular season: http://www.82games.com/0405CLE2.HTM
Because he was a Guard. Gooden started 80 games and Newble 69 at Forward. The reason for the discrepancy is that basketball-reference got it wrong when they stuck an "F" in the position area.
Notice how Lebron monopolized the three spot that entire season. Now take a look at the Spurs' different line ups from this year's regular season and tell me what you think: http://www.82games.com/0708/0708SAS2.HTM

If they are saying LeBron was a forward and Newble was a guard, they are wrong. Newble was a forward his entire career. If they are saying Duncan is SA's center 100% of the time, they are laughably wrong.
One hundred twenty players – 60 each from the Eastern and Western conferences – are listed on the NBA All-Star ballot, with 24 guards, 24 forwards and 12 centers from each conference comprising the list. Voters select two guards, two forwards and one center from each conference.The 120 players on the ballot were selected by a panel of media experts who regularly cover the NBA.

So much for your argument that players are shifted around on the ballot so certain ones can play with somebody else.

Originally posted by 425lsuBecause the Spurs are the Champs. They've been in preassure situations. Besides Eva longoria told Tony he would be cut off if they lose. Is that enough incentive for you.😉
And what about when the HOrnets won the first two games by 19 and 18 points????
Were at home now, totally different.

Originally posted by 425lsuI dont' know but I created a thread which didn't get any attention, but is anyone here doing the Drive to the Finals fantasy game on nba.com? If so let me know how you are doing, I picked LeBron last night and David West tonight so I got 97 points in 2 games. I am liking this. I should move into the top thousand tomorrow or at least I hope. LOL

Originally posted by 425lsuI missed the first 2 games and I'm still ranked 891 today. So missing one game or even 2 doesn't make as much of a difference if you make your picks right. But if I had been able to use those first 2 picks, then I would certainly be right up there with the leaders. I have Odom tonight, Ginobili tomorrow and Deron Williams the next night.
Nah, I didnt do it. I forgot about it so once i missed the first game i told myself why bother.
