I'm really REALLY pullin...Portland will be awesome. I'm really REALLY pulling for them. I think it will be a smooth transition rooting for the Spurs, then switching over to the Blazers when the Spurs end the successful run they've been on for a while (hopefully at least 5 years down the road...or "NEVER" would be even sweeter).<BR/><BR/>That's not bandwagoning. I like character guys, great team basketball, defense, unselfishness...and the Blazers are shaping up to provide all that and more in abundance...I liked them this past season, and they're looking even better (much better) now. Really like that franchise's turnaround.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention Seattle, which seems just a few steps behind them (Presti offers some Spurs connections too), looking primed to be whipped into shape.<BR/><BR/>Looks like the NBA will have my undivided attention for a while longer now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450263.post-50042878203426858392007-06-29T10:59:00.000-05:002007-06-29T10:59:00.000-05:00I like what the Suns did.

Maybe they are cheap, but everybody already thinks they're desperate to get under the cap anyway (which isn't nearly as true as everyone makes it to be), so why should anyone be surprised that the Suns want to be thrifty? <BR/><BR/>They're going to keep Marion (I'm 99% sure of this), as well as Stoudemire and all the other core players, so they're going to be over the cap. Is 'cheap' really such a bad way to go? <BR/><BR/>They got two new players who seem like they'll complement the team well, and they were able to save some money. I'm not disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
