Re: Around the league
As i feared, one of my only thornton predictions to not come through, was that after the injuries i said hed be top 2 or 3 for ROY. Here are the final votes:
Kevin Durant Seattle 90 30 5 545
Al Horford Atlanta 30 74 18 390
Luis Scola Houston 5 20 61 146
Al Thornton L.A. Clippers -- 1 27 30

Re: Around the league
Not that it matters but Thornton should have been 3rd. The amount of votes Scola got over Thornton is ridiculous.

I don't think that they would have done much better with Marion though. His desire to be more "appreciated" (because apparently millions and millions of dollars, and playing for a top team don't mean anything if you're not the team's #1 option) had already destroyed their chemistry, and the rest of the teams in the West had caught up with them. The deal they should have made was Stoudamire for Garnett during the summer, which had let them still run, and brought the sort of defensive toughness they desperately need.

Horford was robbed.

Re: Around the league
Hornets are putting the hurt on the Spurs, they are up 2-0. I can't remember the last time the Spurs were down 0-2.

Magic. Some might say Stockton but he could never drop 25+ points AND dish out 12+ assists on a constant basis like CP3 can. And others might say a younger Kidd or Payton but CP3's game is alot more well-rounded.
And to think that alot of fans thought/think that Deron Williams is better is laughable. Deron couldn't get past the Spurs last year(certainly wasn't his fault, he played very well, but still), while it looks like CP3 is probably gonna accomplish that this year while making it look easy and with lesser team talent. Don't get me wrong the Hornets have a talented team, but I'll take Utah's roster everytime.

Agree on all points there.
Thomas too is a good comparison, but i think paul will end up with a more storied career, at least as far as personal accomplishments go.

i know isiah is seen as a clown these days, but he was a great player.....paul did have a truly great season, but he needs to have a few more before he's on isiah's level....

Agreed. Thats why i said, by the end of his career... I have little doubt that paul will eclipse thomas, or at least match him in career accomplishments.
