    And Kobe should be playing along side Larry Johnson with the Charlotte Hornets.

    Ethanator that's hilarious....its funny to think of the if's, and's, and buts, from past drafts.

     Imagine the Pistons picked up Melo instead of Darko? I wonder how many of those conference finals they would have won instead of lost!!

Leon Powe got one in Game 2 … and Ray Allen got one at the most critical point of the game last night. Celtics up 3… less than :20 on the clock… and Ray blew by Sasha Vujacic… And got to the middle of the lane completely untouched. Completely. ...
