Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are joining forces in Miami. The Miami Heat now have 4 players on the roster. Until I see how does Pat Riley fills that roster I'm not grading these moves. Sure, they are a heck of a star , if they get the right players they could really become the class of the East. In the other hand, 8 minimum players http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~3/aAtNDmpSYHQ/free-agency-day-7.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jose)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~4/aAtNDmpSYHQ" height="1" width="1"/>http://basketballgodsdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/07/free-agency-day-7.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333740332631008238.post-4826995524427399884Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:49:00 +00002010-07-06T23:01:51.455-06:00Chris DuhonLebron JamesOrlando MagicFree AgencyCleveland CavsThe Magic got a former Duke star, no not Boozer, they signed Chris Duhon to a 4 yrs/$15 million contract.

They are not considered a good defensive team but they are pretty damn good establishing their tempo and also versatile enough to adjust to other temps when they have to. They have a great leader in Deron Williams and one of the better coaches out there. About Sloan, do we take him for granted? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~3/_l8W5pamFc4/playoff-previewjazz-vs-nuggets.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jose)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~4/_l8W5pamFc4" height="1" width="1"/>http://basketballgodsdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/04/playoff-previewjazz-vs-nuggets.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333740332631008238.post-5114110161126537Fri, 16 Apr 2010 03:23:00 +00002010-04-15T22:05:09.812-06:00Portland Trail BlazersPhoenix SunsMarcus CambyAmare StoudemireBrandon RoySteve Nash(3) Suns vs (6) BlazersBrandon Roy will be a no show for this one. The overachievers Blazers goes to war against the hottest team in the West without the best player. What a fucking shame. I'm serious, I love this Blazers teams. IMO with Roy they would had a real chance to move on to the next round but without him they have nobody who can control the tempo of the game and they are going to fallhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~3/Pd1ogDrnPYk/playoff-preview-suns-vs-blazers.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jose)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~4/Pd1ogDrnPYk" height="1" width="1"/>http://basketballgodsdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/04/playoff-preview-suns-vs-blazers.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333740332631008238.post-8226495347551618297Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:38:00 +00002010-04-15T21:21:04.115-06:00Dallas MavericksSan Antonio SpursDirk NowitzkiTim Duncan(2) Mavericks vs (7) SpursGotta love this Spurs. They "only" won 50 games but they are still mentioned between those teams nobody wants to face. Some night the look like they can't be beat some other nights the look plain old and tired. They don't necessary need 40 games from Manu to be contenders but they do need efficient games from Duncan, aggressive games from Richard Jefferson and more http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~3/O_A-jQcwHFA/playoff-preview-mavs-vs-spurs.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jose)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Basketballgodsdiaries/~4/O_A-jQcwHFA" height="1" width="1"/>http://basketballgodsdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/04/playoff-preview-mavs-vs-spurs.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333740332631008238.post-4453855094296021142Fri, 16 Apr 2010 00:48:00 +00002010-04-15T19:19:38.452-06:00Russell WestbrookKobe BryantOklahoma City ThunderKevin DurantLos Angeles LakersPau Gasol(1) Lakers vs (8) ThunderIn every piece written about playoff predictions that give this series to the Lakers the words " It won't be easy" would be printed somehow. What is wrong with the Lakers? The not only have looked disinterested, the have look BAD. Kobe is hurt and for whatever macho/I'm legend reason he wont acknowledge it. Ron Artest has look out of place all season long.

I won't tell you that the Lakers have been playing .500 basketball since the all star break or the poor record the Thunder have in games decided by 5 points or less or the the low point differential Dallas is carrying into the postseason. You won't hear from me the record the Celtics have against Cleveland, Orlando and Atlanta.
