Well now that Ratner has the team and sees how pissed New Jersey is at losing the Nets - it seems as if he's afraid of losing the fans from New Jersey , especially during the next two years they remain here.

I only brought the above examples to point out other teams that do not play where they say they play. I think the Giants and Jets are the only teams that play in one state while retaining the name of another state's location. At one time there was talk of the Philadelphia Sixers and Philadelphia Flyers playing in the Camden area. If they did move, they probably would have kept the philly name.

Star Ledger called they want to print one of my letters. I'm not sure which one - but I think it is the second one.

I just saw something about how Chris Webber has been out for awhile... and the Kings are starting to wonder about him... and that he was spotted in a Thai restaurant with Tyra Banks...
And I'm trying to remember... how many different NBA players have been linked to Tyra Banks? I guess she definitely goes for the tall, athletic, rich and famous types! Oh - and JD, this fits better in the NFL thread, but you can take a cue from our own support of the local Cubbies... and think of the 'NY' in front of 'Jets' and 'Giants' as 'Next Year'... so that they're perpetually the 'Next Year Jets' and the 'Next Year Giants'... heck, I just corrected a minor typo, instead of 'Jets', call 'em the 'Jest' |

Holy crap. Tracy McGrady. 8 three pointers in the first half!! He was simply on fire. Makes you wonder how many he would have made if he hadnt injured himself early in the third quarter.

As bad as things are in the East, the Bulls would need a major miracle to make the play-offs at this point - even after wins their last two games. A couple weeks ago, I figured out that if all the teams win at the same pace as their current records, it would take a record of 35-47 to make the play-offs in the East - and back then, the Bulls were 16-38, so they needed 19-9 to finish (in the top 8 at the present pace).
Interestingly, the West had the exact inverse... the eighth best team was on pace for a 47-35 record! This thread mostly focuses on NBA, but I'm so proud of my Illini! Not to jinx them, but after a 3-3 start in Big Ten play, they've won 8 straight, so they're just a half-game behind Michigan State. MSU and Wisconsin meet one more time (Wisc has just 4 losses) so if Wisconsin can beat them (it's AT MSU though) and Illinois wins their last two, they could be regular-season champs! Meanwhile, the Salukis of my hometown (growing up) SIU lost their LAST conference game last night to just miss going undefeated with a 17-1 record in the Missouri Valley Conference. DePaul has had a strong season and Northwestern has made all kinds of upsets in the Big Ten (including one over Illinois) - so the state should have 3-4 teams in the NCAA tourney (I'm doubtful Northwestern will get in - we'll see). Nearby Notre Dame has pulled off some Big Upsets in the Big East!

DePaul is still on the bubble Id say. Those others should make it though. As far as eastern conference NBA teams Id say its about that time of the year to aim directly for the basement and increase your chances of picking up an Emeka Okafor or somebody. Gotta hand it to the Nets though. That was quite an impressive win streak they had going before Minnesota snapped it. Lawrence Frank sure legitimized himself quickly Id say. But I dont think they can sustain it deep into the playoffs this year. And Indiana is the only other eastern team I see who can go head to head against the best in the west.
