Someone should delete either one of these threads. There's 2 while there was only 1 before. The mod sleeping ar?

Season MVP, i vote for Dirk Nowitzki. He single hand-edly unselfishly brought the team to the status now being one of the best teams ever in NBA history! I really admire his spirit and his plays!

yes, totally agree with Virgil..yes, steve nash playing excellent as well...but he get twice d...is time to a chance to DIRTZ nw...

What abt Defensive player of the year?...who's ur choice for this year?...Ben Wallace is kinda out..lolz, never really did heard much from him, but apparently Big Ben has been scoring these days....but defensive player of the year?..stats are looking pretty good for Marcus Camby...

ya.. i think i vote for camby also

1 ting 4 sure is tat tis season NBA champ wont b da east division..

For me i will vote 4 Carmelo Anthony & Le Bron James.

u cant say for sure m8, pistons are strong, the cavaliers are stumbling but then they are still of playoffs standards & i doubt that king james will let a playoffs run slip easily.

in a sense, its actually true that the west are more powerful. juz look at the 3 big giants (mavericks, suns & spurs), this teams have always been performing well and have numerous times enter the playoffs.. compared to the east which likely miami and pistons are the only ones with playoffs experience (i excluded washington bcoz i doubt that they are goin 2 do well without arenas).

btw, i juz checked out the results for this morning's game and surprisingly, the raptors outwit the pistons & the utah jazz totally owned the floor of the mavericks. however the results cant really be put into consideration bcoz all teams muz be saving their best men for the playoffs

it was way the worst performance by kobe tonight. if i were phil jackson, i would juz let the players rest and juz let the game fly by. no point bringin the team to a low morale now, tiring them as well.. the outcome can be easily predicted and phil is tryin to force the win...

if they continue with this type of plays, they might even lose their playoff chance.

raptors beat pistons...
actually wanna know how andrea bargnani injured?

That's what people said in 2004 and 2006 too.

Tis is all the score 4 2day match:
Pistons84 Lose Raptors87 Win
Bucks104 Win Celtics 102 Lose
Knicks86 Lose Nets100 Win
Wizards98 Win Hawks 85 Lose
Pacers96 Lose Heat100 Win
Nuggets107 Win Hornets 105 Lose
Spurs110 Win Timberwolves 91 Lose
Bobcats81 Lose Bulls100 Win
Jazz104 Win Mavericks 89 Lose
Warriors125 Win Kings 108 Lose
Lakers85 Lose Suns93 Win
Trail Blazers89 Lose Clippers107 Win

Hooray, at last Wizard win liao. But Lakers & Mavericks lose.
Lakers lose coz their defence is terrible.

their defence was a mess, the 1st half baseline wide open...Kobe was being quite a passer that game, since his form is real off....Dallas are saving their main stars for the playoffs lar...but their next game is vs. Spurs...i dunno whether they'll go 100% or not...

Kobe score 50 points when Lakers takes on Clippers.. then less then 24 hours they went into battle wit da div champ.. it is tiring.. with players like Odom, Walton & Bynum its not enough 2 stop Suns.. & of course with 2 games left, they r fighting 4 a playoff spot..

Here are tml matches:
Magic VS 76ers
Hawks VS Cavaliers
Nuggets VS Grizzlies
Bobcats VS Bucks
Hornets VS Rockets
Suns VS Jazz
Supersonics VS Trail Blazers
I want 2 watch the match btw Suns & Jazz, but dunno where 2 watch tis match???

uhh, my friend did told me abt a program...but not sure abt the name...haha...yea, i hope Astro does show more NBA games...our country is not having much B/Ball games...all they do is football, golf...no offence to those other players, but NBA is also as exciting as other sports....

ok so guys.. da BIG question.. Can da Lakers make it 2 da playoffs??

I hope they can make it. But they nid 2 score & defence well in every match so tat they can make their way 2 playoff.

Added on April 14, 2007, 9:18 pmRace to Coach of the Year
1. Jeff Van Gundy, Houston
Record (as of April 12): 50-29
Last Season's Record: 34-48
Improvement: +16
Van Gundy has steered the Rockets to the fourth-best record in the West with Yao Ming out for 33 games and Tracy McGrady out for 11 games with injuries. Houston fans expected results this season after an underwhelming 2005-06 campaign and Van Gundy delivered, even with the Bonzi Wells situation hanging over the team. JVG successfully integrated free agent Shane Battier into the mix and had the foresight to rely heavily on unheralded second-year forward Chuck Hayes. Van Gundy got his team to beat the teams they were supposed to beat for the most part and to perform consistently on the road -- their 24 road wins are fifth most in the league.

2. Avery Johnson, Dallas
Record (as of April 12): 65-13
Last Season's Record: 60-22
Improvement: +5
If the Mavericks win out, their 69-13 record will be tied with the '71-72 Lakers and the '96-97 Bulls for the second-best regular season mark of all time. Hard to argue with that. But even so, that would be a nine-game improvement since last year, as opposed to the Rockets' potential for a nineteen-game improvement if they win out. Give Avery Johnson a ton of credit for augmenting his team's mental toughness. After their 0-4 tailspin they went into after being up 2-0 in The Finals, the hangover carried over into this season when Dallas started off 0-4, but Johnson and his squad reeled of win streaks of 12, 13 and 17 games (not to mention eight and nine game ones as well). Johnson won the Coach of the Year last season, his first full campaign as the head honcho in Dallas after taking over for Don Nelson. Although he is close this year, I don't think Johnson is worthy of becoming the first-ever back-to-back Coach of the Year winner with the season Van Gundy has had.

3. Sam Mitchell, Raptors
Record (as of April 12): 45-33
Last Season's Record: 27-55
Improvement: +18
The Toronto Raptors are Atlantic Division Champions for the first time in franchise history. Who would have thunk? Sam Mitchell had two pair in his hand last year and was handed a full house in the offseason thanks to all of the moves completed by General Manager Bryan Colangelo. But it was Mitchell who still had to play his cards right. With only six holdovers from last season's roster, Mitchell was charged with integrating a bevy of new players into his rotation and at the same time develop a No. 1 pick while all the time making sure not to hinder Chris Bosh's flourishing career. He completed the balancing act and if Toronto wins out it can finish an amazing 22 games above last season's record. Take out the Raptors' 2-8 start and Mitchell had his club playing .632 ball the rest of the way.

4. Jerry Sloan, Utah
Record (as of April 12): 48-30
Last Season's Record: 41-41
Improvement: +7
Jerry Sloan has just one losing season in 19 years at the helm in Utah, an amazing feat, but the Coach of the Year isn't a lifetime achievement award. Sloan should be credited for his work during the offseason and in training camp to get his team to shoot out to a 12-1 start. The former Chicago Bulls defensive great stuck to his guns and ran the same Jazz sets with Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams that he used to run with Karl Malone and John Stockton. Sloan dealt with injuries to Andrei Kirilenko, Utah's focal point in '05-06, and plugged in rookie Paul Millsap in his stead. However, the Jazz are just 1-6 over their last seven games -- not a sign of a coach getting his team to build up momentum heading into the playoffs.

5. Scott Skiles, Chicago
Record (as of April 12): 47-32
Last Season's Record: 41-41
Improvement: +6
Maybe I'm a sucker for turn arounds, but I'm convinced that it is infinitely harder to get a team to believe in itself when it starts the season off 3-9 than when it starts off 9-3. Skiles' Bulls stumbled out of the gates, but by preaching aggressive defense (Chicago's 94.1 points per game allowed is sixth best in the league) the former point guard was able to guide his team to the top of the East. Skiles greatest achievement with this squad is how he shaped the group into a true team with Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon and Ben Wallace all having truly defined roles.
