The NBA Thread...

The Knick's talk in the New York thread reminded me there are a fair few Basketball fans here and the old thread looks like it died a death in the last off-season...

Big game tonight as the 'Tics take on the Lakers with Kobe looking like missing out, not that his absence has been felt as they're unbeaten without him. Boston on the other hand have been pretty shocking the last month or so, 5 losses in 8 before the weekends All-Star game.

In terms of the Championship, fresh from the realisation that with KG showing his age, Celtics are unlikely to mount a serious post-season push, I'm throwing my weight behind Cleveland. I'd love to see them pick up the Championship as I don't think there's a more deserving player without one than LBJ...
 
As mentioned in a thread elsewhere, I'm on San Antonio at about 12/1. If that was a physical rather than electronic betslip, I'd probably have ripped it up by now.

I too very much like the look of the Cavs, especially as there still may be some improvements to their roster ahead of the trade deadline. I am hoping my Milwaukee Bucks can sneak in to the play-offs, even if it means getting humped 4-0 by LeBron and co in R1.

And for anyone who likes basketball, please allow me to strongly recommend Bill Simmons' Book of Basketball. Essential (and entertaining) reading. Here is an excerpt

Quite something wasn't it? Now FIBA have made an approach to Spain about the 2014 World Championships Final being at the Bernabéu!

Also, please note how Cleveland have stunk the place out ever since ESB and I suggested they might win the Championship this year. Ahem.
 
Spare a thought for Allen Iverson today, who's been granted indefinite leave to care for his 4 year old daughter who's ill.

No details disclosed on if/when he'll return or even what's wrong with the girl, but completely understandable for him to take such a stance.
