Well looks like hes staying put in LA which was probably his intention all the time. I dont think he ever seriously entertained jumping to the Clippers really. With Shaq gone he can be the man officially now and hes getting more money so it all works out fine for him. Im glad Coach K turned down the coaching position at LA. I think that would have been a real loss for college basketball and a team like LA may have given him serious head aches trying to keep all the egos placated (assuming Shaq would have agreed to stay if he came to coach them).

USA BASKETBALL 2004 OLYMPICS ROSTER: PG: Stephon Marbury, Dwyane Wade SG: Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony SF: Richard Jefferson, LeBron James PF: Lamar Odom, Shawn Marion, Carlos Boozer C: Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire, Emeka Okafor Coach: Larry Brown kind of an undersized bunch if you think about it. Especially with Okafor hurting. Duncan is the only true center and hes not even a true center. The only two original members of this team: Iverson, Duncan NBA players who were on 2004 USA Olympic Basketball team but withdrew: Jason Kidd (recovering from knee surgery), Ray Allen (getting married. lame excuse!!), Tracy McGrady (Olympic "security concerns"), Karl Malone (healing from injury, emotional strain from mom passing away), Jermaine O'Neal (banged up from playoffs), Mike Bibby (no one is really sure of reason). Kobe Bryant was going to be on the team but withdrew due to scheduling problems (his case). These NBA players declined invitations to join USA Olympic Basketball team: Vince Carter, Kenyon Martin, Elton Brand, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace.

Hey wake up out there. Its opening day and no ones posted anything here yet. Thoughts on the upcoming season? Predictions? Is Miami gonna be a force with Shaq now? Is Minnesota finally gonna get to the promised land? Is Detroit actually better then they were last year? I think they might be. Where is Jason Kidd going to land? Hows LaBron gonna do in his sophomore year? Is Kobe gonna be able to drag the Lakers to 50 wins now that the rest of the team has fractured? Can Sacramento take advantage of the vacuum before they fracture? MVP? Rookie of the Year? Lets hear it.

Ha! Pacers BEAT Detroit! Detroit should be stripped of their next 10 home games. I hope all the stinking "fans" who punched and pummeled Pacers get prosecuted to the fullest! Where the hell were the security! I can't believe it. Detroit basketball fans REALLY suck!

Yeah what the hell happened last night? Did they ever finish the game? they are talking about arresting certain players even. Im guessing that would mean Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson at least?

Arrest those OUT OF CONTROL Detroit "fans"! Arrest "missing in action" Detroit security. Arrest lame as hell officials! If any Pacer's are arrested I'm off the NBA! As to what happened haven't you seen the tapes! Oiiii! I'm ill.....
OK...Artest fouls Ben Wallace, Ben Wallace can't handle it, shoves Artest (flagrant) Artest backs off, chills...laying on a table. It's during this two or so minutes that the refs should have called or done SOMETHING! Get someone to the foul line, get the game going... whatever! ....So then some assinine genius Detroit fan comes up and throws a cup of drink at Artest, up close, Artest goes after him, punches start getting thrown and a riot breaks out. Pacers are literally fighting for their lives, and can't even get to the locker room safely. It was sick!

Yeah...he gets that "time off" he wanted! Reggie better take his "youth serum" I'm going to the Christmas day game, Pacers versus Detroit at Conseco. No Artest, no Jermaine, no Jackson....guess I'll have to be content with throwing batteries or something at the Pistons bench...it's allowed isn't it?

It wasn't just the fans. Both sides were in the wrong. They should've known it was too far to begin having a go at the public too. Btw Liz, how many 's do you have in that post? |

well as a pacer fan better get ready for a long season. they will still probably make the playoffs but realize they wont be getting Jermain or Jackson back until LATE JANUARY! So they lose the two best players for a good two months. And one for the whole season. Im still realing from it on my fantasy team.... He was my best performing player and my team sucked as it was. Now i have on my roster a banned Ron Artest, an injured and angry Jason Kidd and a disgruntled and injured Glenn Robinson. Sheesh... So now my top active player is Kirk Hinrich....
