You have great insight and good opinions! LETS GO MAVS!

I don't know. If I am, it's because I'm viewed a threat to the evilness of the Stern-led NBA. >:3
Anywaaaayys, I doubt it. :o
But you never know with Cuban, the dude is one of the most entertaining owners in sports. And Texas is a nice state. I would be pissed off, but not surprised.

I want Dwight to stay, obviously. I want the whole FA sh*t to be over too. I'm looking forward to the offseason, and the draft. I hope the Lakers could trade up and draft Pierre Jackson, Archie Goodwin, or gnab Peyton Siva. This is Hector R by-the-way. I can't comment on the Hector R profile anymore, and it ticks me off.

Maybe you hate BK, because Deron Plays there and decided against the Mavs^^
I don´t like them also. Same for the Knicks. It´s funny, because NYK is the greatest town, I´v e ever been...

GSW are a defensive minded-team. The scores are that high, because they are playing so fast. Same like the Nuggets, just with different closing styles. the Nuggets run their offense to score in the paint and GSW by hitting Jump-Shots. Both are nice to watch :-)
Btw, nice to watch is Benzamore. Like his cheering for his teammates^^

About the playoffs, yeah, unfortunately I see no real opportunities besides the HEAT for Champion. And this is a Franchise I really don´t like!

Yeah, a finals between GSW and Pacers or the Grizzlies and the Pacers would be great! :-) But the Heat will make it...


Summer in New Zealand and Australia. Thats also a Problem for vacation planning. We can only take big vacations in our summer-time and that means winter at yours, I guess^^

Your New Zwaland draftee Adams gets great Feedback from Draft-Writers. They say, he is "raw" yet, but talented. Maybe Needs some years to develop^^ I don´t know him.

What do you think about the draft else?


Europe is great (depending on the Country and the cities)! I like it here very much. The US I like, but only for vacation and sports. Couldn´t live there.
You know the "Oktoberfest" here in Germany?

Ah, I forgot. It´s hard to see "Crash" these days. Can´t believ he is the same person^^

Until this Photo I wasn´t Aware that Emeka can look so smart and charismatic ;-)

Funny Story with selecting the Teams. The good thing is that if you are a NBA-Fan in General, you can enjoy also all other stuff around and you are not automatically in a hate or love-modus like many here^^ So it´s about me. I love just talking about different Scenarios and different Teams and I enjoy if teams make well. Of course I always wish the Mavs do better than the rest, but actual I can enjoy GSW very well and the Shooting of Curry and Thompson^^
From performing background, your friend chose the better teams. But you can argue him always with asking "And where is your ring?" *g*

About thw wizards: They will be exciting as Long as they stay healthy! Wall and Beal can be amazing. Nene is solid. Webster is a very good bench-player and in the next draft they can roster up. And of course they have the FA-possibilty. I said, I don´t want to have Smith in Dallas, but for Washington he could fit well...

The JET is great. No more to add. But Dirk is just DIRK! :-)

Yeah, time-zones always have their pro and cons, I guess. Sometimes the saturday or the first sunday games start about at noon in the US and that means 19:00 or 21:00 local time on Weekend which is very fine for me :-)
btw: My wife aways wants to see Australia, but we couldn´t manage vactaion planning as you Need for such a Long journey enough time there and therefor 4 weeks. I always tell her, but if we can manage the vacation one day, than we will split 2 weeks to New Zealand and 2 weeks Asutralia. I´d love to see New Zealand...


Playoffs, uff, difficult, but I think it goes like that:
Heat : Bulls 4 : 2
Knicks : Pacers 3 : 4

Heat : Pacers 4 : 3

OKC : Grizzlies 4 : 3
Spurs : GSW 4 : 2

OKC : Spurs 2 : 4


Heat : Spurs 4 : 2

But I´d like to see, the Bulls win against GSW :-) (but that won´t happen for sure)

What about you and your predictions?

Whats behind your Wizards and Cats fascination?

At the first view, it was also my thought, than I saw the comment from Mavs113 ;-)

I really feel the same, I´m very excited about the off-season! I could talk and speculate about trades and signing all the way... The great is from Dallas-perspective: That seeing CP3 or Dwight coming would be a favor of course, but it is not necessary. Actual there are so many opportunities with which I would agree like Jefferson (Big Al in Big D sounds good^^), maybe Iggy if the Price is right, signing evans... or or or. The only one which I really don´t want to see are Jennings and Smith^^

Yeah, I´m following Chicago. As a german we áre a Soccer Nation and don´t have B-Ball in our blood ;-) So my interest in B-Ball started with Jordan and than I was not really a fan, but a had strong sympathies for the NBA and the Bulls! And as you said, I´m not a bandwagon-fan, so I staid with Chicago for sympathy :-)

But my real fan-being than came with Nowitzki and the Mavs. And I´m not a fan only from the 2006 season or the Championship, it is now where my heart beats. Even if Dirk will finish, I´ll stay with Dallas!
The Championship was hard life for me. I see each play-off game live with league-pass and you have to imagine that is about 3 o clock in the night over here in Germany. And I had to go to work *g*

Hey "Emeka" ;-)

Nice to see your comments. We often think similar about Mavs and NBA-stuff^^
Regards from Germany, the home of DIRK!!!

Lol just now I just realized that your profile picture is....Emeka Okafor? I seriously thought that was you, lol.
