"A slam dunk(or simply a dunk) is a type of basketball shot that is performed when a player jumps in the air and manually powers the ball downward through the basket with one or both of his hands over the rim"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_dunk

your opinion is wrong. Even the guys on ESPN sportscenter were debating this.

That said you don't have to touch the rim for it to count as a jam, which a lot of people think who have never duked it. It actually hurts to throw it down to some degree
 
Ive said it before on here, my rockets have got what it takes*














* they haven't really but they are doing well :P
 
The Nuggets scored 168 points tonite. 168-116 over Seattle
 
Don't forget they also spanked the raptors a couple of days before that too.

Yeah I only think they hung 138 on them, they have been amazing since Atkins came back, it gives them another good passer and shooter in their lineup
 
New Orleans beat the Celtics. If Paul and Wells stay sharp and Stojakovic a little bit more consistent, they could reach the finals Id say.

Without a doubt any of about 5 teams could easily make it to the finals outta the west. I was at the Hornets-Lakers game in New Orleans last week and not only have they beat the Lakers last week, but now they beaten them, the Celtics, the Spurs, and the Rockets all in about a week in a half to two weeks. I'd have to agree that if Stojakovic can become more consistent than they will go very far in the playoffs.

I'm just glad that now the Hornets are becoming a great team once again like they were when Baron Davis was with them. He was a cancer to the team, so to let him go and the addition of the current squad ran by such a great coach they'll go further than the organization has ever IMO. I'm really happy that I have a great basketball and football team not even 2 hours drive away.
 
Boston are on fire. They have such an awesome average in games won this season. It looks like this could be their year, and not in a Liverpool fashion. Saying that, I'm hoping on my San Antonio Spurs to pull through with one more Championship to establish them as the best dynasty in the last 10 years.

It's hard to look any further then Boston against either Dallas or the Spurs in the final.

Any news on Dirk's injury for the Dallas Scum? If he's injured going into the playoff's, that could KILL their momentum.

I think you both, as well as many others, are looking past the New Orleans Hornets. They're probably just as much on fire as the Celtics, not to mention they've beaten them, the Lakers, the Spurs and the Rockets all in the past month. Not only that but I believe they've beaten those teams, with the exception of the Rockets/Celtics which I believe they're even in wins, most of the time in their head to head matchups this season. Don't forget they are also currently holding the BEST RECORD in the NBA. I know it doesn't mean much as they haven't really been this good in a while(if ever!) and the playoffs are a totally different picture. I see either them or the Spurs/Lakers against either the Celtics/Cavs in the Finals this season.

Are you kidding Dallas are done and dusted, reckon that either San Antonio or the Lakers will get through in the West. Hope it is another Lakers-Celtics classic

Boston have the best record in the NBA, sorry. Here's the stats :-


Boston won 56 lost 15 Avr 0.789
Detroit won 50 lost 21 Avr 0.704
New Orleans won 49 lost 21 Avr 0.700

Besides, experience in the playoffs will count. Spurs now have Brent Barry back. Pistons will be there abouts. Celtics will be. I don't know if New Orleans will carry that into the playoffs. They have a magnificent record, however, I don't think that they can beat either the Spurs or the Pistons in a best of 5 or 7 series. I just don't think that they can win consecutively playing at Spurs or playing at Detroit.
 
Shaq dunked it on the Nets last night, and got his finger in the net, the result he rips the net off! I have gotten my finger caught before and dislocated it and near broke, it has been reconfirmed Shaq is a beast

When I was in school a guy got stuck with his finger in the net and the finger went off, scary it was. But the doctors managed to put it back later.

No Myp2p is the website, it provides links for all the sports on sopcast and TVU etc. I use it for football and baseball.

Edit: Unfortunately sometimes they don't have links to certain games.:( Try looking through the forum, someone might have posted a link for the hornets.

You can actually slot in Garnett or Duncan instead of Stoudemire both of which are bigger and better defenders. You've already got so much fire power, a bit of defence would help balance things out I feel. But if it's based on individual performances alone, I think that's pretty much right.
 
almost playoff time!! i don't think i've ever been this excited for the playoffs, there really is no favorite to take it all, it really is up for grabs
 
Denver loses to Utah last night, thank feck they took down Golden State on Thursday, this is gonna be a huge one tonite for Melo and AI win and in I believe

Not really, the C's are clearly favorites for it.

Only because their road to the Finals is so easy, they are who you'd put your money on if you are a betting man as the odds clearly favor you, but I think a Western team will take them down if they dont get beat up to bad in the Western Playoffs, Lakers are favorites for me, they are getting a pretty good player in Bynum back ready and rested for the playoffs, add to it the fact they gave up nothing for Gasol. Love to see another Celtics-Lakers series, if that happened I would put my money on the best player, and that is Kobe

Lakers ain't going to be favorites. If they were 100% sure, but they won't be. Who knows when Bynum is coming back.

The C's are up and running right now, can't see anyone beating them imo.

Don't count the Lakers out, Bynum will be back in the playoffs, but they still are just about as strong as any team in the league without him, he will be needed v. Garnett and other big men in the playoffs, but Kobe is the type of player who can put a team on his shoulders

Bynum might not even be back for the 2nd round his knee speciailist said. Would like to see the Lakers win it all but I can see nobody beating the Celtics.
 
You cant be serious I dont know if the Spurs make it to the Finals but they would take down the Celts as well, also, watch out for Detroit they are a very very good team
