Ich halte eine Garnett-Verpflichtung auch nicht für möglich, allerdings sieht es hier so aus, als hätte KG die Wechseloption schon dieses Jahr.

Pietrus würde wenn Golden State ihm nicht weiterverpflichtet gerne bei euch unterschreiben und Tony folgen....Er ist ein starker Defender, trifft den Dreier gut aus der Ecke, vielleicht in ein paar Jahren ein neuer Bruce Bowen ?! Nur sein Spielverständnis ist stark verbesserungswürdig.

Aber wenn Garnett die Option im Sommer nicht zieht, wird er eh zur Deadline getradet, auch wenn man nur auslaufende Verträge und einen 1st-Round-Pick bekommt.
Garnett ist doch selbst dann auch ein auslaufender vertrag also müsste das schon ein ziemlich guter pick sein und das neue team müsste sich gute chancen ausrechnen kg weiterzuverpflichten.
sonst wär's für minny logischer kg zu halten und den capspace im sommer zu geniessen bzw. würde ein anderes team einiges hergeben und im sommer den gegenwert direkt wieder verlieren...

2. One of the running debates of these playoffs: Is Bruce Bowen a cheap player? I love the fact that anyone's actually debating this -- if your answer is "no" or your answer is "I'm not sure," then you've obviously never played basketball in your life. Bruce Bowen is a cheap player. There's no debate. He's not some clumsy power forward who can't stay out of his own way (like Mark Madsen), or even some uncoordinated center who can't remember to keep his elbows near his body (like Shawn Bradley). He's a world-class athlete who has complete control over every inch of his body at all times.
As anyone who's ever played basketball knows, with the exception of clumsy people who probably shouldn't be playing in the first place, there are no accidents on a basketball court. Your feet just don't coincidentally land under someone else's feet as he's shooting a jump shot, and you don't just coincidentally kick someone in the calf as he's going up for a layup or dunk. These things don't just happen. They don't. The only room for error happens when someone's trying to block a fast-break layup or dunk, takes a roundhouse swipe and inadvertently ends up hitting his opponent's head instead of the ball (like we saw with Matt Barnes when he clocked Matt Harpring Tuesday night). When Jason Richardson nails Memo Okur at the end of Game 4 because he's pissed that Okur was driving at the tail end of a guaranteed win, or Baron Davis elbows Derek Fisher in the same game because he's ticked that the Warriors blew a winnable game ... those aren't accidents.
Anyway, for a world-class athlete with exceptional coordination, Bruce Bowen sure seems to have a lot of "accidents." They happen because of his style -- best described as "organized, physical chaos" -- and because he deliberately bends the rules for a competitive advantage. When he was breaking into the league, Bowen played for the Celtics from 1997-99, back when I was living in Boston and attending nearly every game. He was just as good defensively back then -- quicker, even -- but couldn't shoot to save his life (41 percent his first season, 28 percent his second season), and more importantly, he was a soft player. Opponents pushed him around, refs didn't give him any respect, even his own coach (Rick Pitino) screamed at him constantly. Since Bowen seemed like such a nice guy, and he tried so freaking hard, everyone who attended those games found themselves feeling sorry for him. As gifted as he was defensively, I never imagined him making it because of his dreadful shooting and beaten-down, little-kid-getting-picked-on-in-class demeanor. He just needed one person to believe in him ... and Rick Pitino wasn't it.
When he finally made it in San Antonio a few years later, I wasn't shocked because there's always a place in the NBA for someone with a specific skill (whether it's long-range shooting, rebounding, defense or whatever), but I was shocked by his much-improved 3-point shooting (44 percent in 2003?????) and newfound intensity. Watching him hound offensive players was like watching Beecher torment Schillinger after he finally snapped in "Oz." Where did this come from??? Suddenly, Bowen was willing to bend the rules, trip guys as they landed after jump shots, bump them when they weren't looking and basically do anything to get into their heads, all while doing the whole "Wait, I'm in trouble??? What????" routine and pretending to be shocked anytime anyone threatened to kick his ass. Which happens every couple of months. There's no doubt in my mind -- absolutely none -- that at some point between Boston and San Antonio, Bruce Bowen decided to do whatever it took to remain in the NBA. Even if it meant becoming a dirty player.
Now here's where the NBA failed: For a league that professes to be concerned about dirty play and any situation that could lead to a brawl, the league has curiously looked the other way with the single dirtiest player in the league. If he pulled this crap on a pickup court, or even in college intramurals, somebody would have punched Bowen in the face and broken his jaw. In the NBA? He gets to keep doing his thing and putting other players in danger. In the Phoenix series alone, he tripped Stoudemire from behind on a dunk in Game 2, kneed Nash in the groin in Game 3 and tried to knock Nash off balance in Game 4 as they were running back upcourt (causing a frustrated Nash to elbow him in the chops). The league penalizes two Phoenix stars for instinctively running toward an injured teammate, but they don't penalize a perpetually dirty player who's eventually going to trigger an ugly brawl before the end of his career?
How the hell does that make sense?
In the current NBA, you can't commit a hard foul, you can't trash-talk another player, you can't pull your shirt up after a roof-raising dunk, you can't protect a teammate who just got knocked into a press table. We have these rules -- I'm guessing -- because any of those actions can lead to an ugly fight. Ever since the Bad Boys Pistons and Riley's Knicks tried to turn the NBA into the WWF in the late '80s and early '90s, nearly every rule change was created to prevent ugly incidents, even if some of those rule changes compromised the competitiveness of the league in the process. Well, if that's the case, how could the league allow Bruce Bowen to keep running amok with no repercussions? Can you think of a better candidate to trigger an ugly fight some day than Bruce Bowen? Why do they allow him to keep doing what he's doing? Seriously, does the NBA have a clue?
(On second thought, don't answer that.)
Manu Ginobili fliegt schon um wenn man ihn anpustet.
Horry wird mir auch nicht sympathischer durch seine übertrieben Fouls.
Ich mag die Spurs nicht, weil sie mir unglaublich unsympathisch sind, von a bis z. Bei Duncan ist es wegen seines "Ich hab nichts getan"-Blick, bei Bowen ist es, weil er Bowen ist, den rest mag ich einfach nicht. Horry mochte ich, aber sein Foul war einfach mies.
Ich kann die Spurs echt nicht ab. Aber dieses Gelaber gegen Horry wird hier extrem übertrieben, das muss ich mal loswerden. Ist jetzt nichts gegen dich sondern jetzt eher allgemein.
Es war keine Gefahr für eine größere Verletzung vorhanden, ich meine was war das? Ein Spieler läuft am anderen vorbei und kriegt einen mit der Hüfte/den Beinen mit. Und? Da war keine Verletzungsgefahr vorhanden, jedenfalls keine ernsthafte. Es war ein hartes Foul und jemanden wegen SOWAS zu verurteilen ist etwas, tut mir Leid, dass ich das sagen muss, armselig. Es war die letzte Spielminute und der Verteidiger macht ein hartes Foul. Ich bin Schiedsrichter und sehe sowas in jedem Spiel, vielleicht nicht sooo hart, aber es sind PROFIS in dieser Liga, da sollte man doch mal erwarten, dass sie hart spielen, besonders wenn es darauf ankommt. Das ist keine Liga für Mädchen sondern für Athleten. Als solche sollte man sowas wegstecken können.
Das mit den Suspensions gegen Amare und Diaw (der wars doch oder?) wird auch übertrieben hier. Vollkommen gerechtfertigt die Entscheidung von Stern. Man lässt die Spieler auf der Bank nicht einfach so aufs Spielfeld laufen, wenn sie es tun, bestraft man sie hart, damit sie es nie wieder tun. Durch das Aufspringen und "loslaufen" in Richtung Konflikt wird dieser Konflikt nur noch verschärft. Mich wundert, dass die Schiedsrichter im Spiel nicht härter durchgegriffen haben, ich würde das vollkommen verständlich finden.
Spurs stinken einfach nach Fisch!
