A nice way for him to bow out before signing for the knicks next season with Lebron.

Reading behind Stern's comments about him not being fit to take to the Court, he may well be.

The Raps avoided a sweep in Orlando last night but made bloody hard work of it in the 4th. Still, they're back at 500 and have won 7 of their last 8.

If he goes, I hope he'd have enough sense to go to a side that's going to get him to the finals.

A convincing win for the Bulls last night 120 - 87, handing a very poor pistons team their 13 loss on the bounce.

I realise that the western conference is the stronger of the two, but having just had a quick look at the standings, I was shocked at how much more competative it is over the eastern conference.

The WC has 11 teams with a .500 record or higher, compared to only 5 teams in the EC

Nothing new there. At least now the East have teams that are capable of challenging the West.

The Raptors lost ugly on Monday, throwing away a 23 pt lead in Indy. They have a long rest period, which they need cos they looked knackered in the second half. I am loving the new Andrea Bargnani though. He's really coming good this season.

Another great game from Bargnani -how fitting that it was Italian heritage night at the Garden. It got a bit messy at the end but still a good win against a much improved Knicks side. Calderon and the rookie Derozan also had impressive games. Nice to see Jose bounce back after almost a month out of action.

The Mavs tomorrow - should be fun!

Impressive west coast road trip so far for the Bulls. They have won 3 on the bounce out west, the latest win coming last night against the spurs.

Just 1 game under .500 now, so hopefully the bulls can sustain the level that they have performed at in the last 12ish games and not slip back to their old shoddy ways.

Not bad considering your still trying to free up cash for the Lebron, Wade, Bish sweepstakes.

Big game for us against Miami tonight. Looks like we'll be without Derozan too.

EDIT: Massive win for us last night. Back to the Garden tonight. Not expecting too much though, we're crap on these back to back nights.

Another win for the Raptors. That's 4 straight that we've come back from a deficit of double digits to win the game. Apparently it's tied an NBA record. We seem to have settled on a pattern of having a sloppy 1st quarter and then clawing it back to win. It's not pretty at times but it seems to be effective. Biggest plus point apart from the victory was Turk finally showing why we spent all that money on him. Hopefully the start of things to come from him and the start of a decent run into the playoffs for the Raps.

Maybe a shot at the division title?

It's certainly not out of the question. That's something I didn't think possible at the start of the season. Not getting my hopes up too much. The defeat in Indy on Tuesday certainly brought home how costly an off night can be. But if we can get our injured players back soon and then everybody can stay healthy, who knows?
