BIG TALK FROM A BIG, BIGGER, AND BIGGEST MEN

As the season approaches, it is time for for players, coaches, and front office personnel to make their "claims" and "guarantees" for the seasons.  Here are some of the latest from around the Association. 


AL HARRINGTON - Guaranteed the Knicks would make the playoffs in 2010 speaking to Fanhouse at the release of NBA Live 2010.  I had to replay the interview a few times to make sure he had put his XBOX 360 sticks down and wasn't talking about the video game he was playing.  His goal of "keeping teams at or around 100" is not the defensive strategy of a playoff team. 

MARK CUBAN - and his chest are both claiming that the 2009-2010 Mavs are better than the 2006 Western Conference Champions.  "Not even close," Cuban said on 103.5 The Fan earlier today.  I agree with Cubes that the team is loaded with talent - and in 2006, this team would have been better than the 2006 Mavs.  Unfortunately, the aging Mavericks get grouped in with the Spurs and Suns in the category of "Window Closing Due to Age."  Good luck getting out of the West - Oh yeah, and you have to beat the Lakers.
 

SHAQ DIESEL - ""It's probably the best team I've ever played on, on paper anyway," O'Neal said Thursday. At least Shaq is willing to give qualifiers to his declaration.  The Cavs were the best team ON PAPER last year too.  That didn't stop them from showing up in the playoffs lamer than Stu Scott's right eye. They gotta show me something in May this year.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE REGULAR SEASON

Shannon Brown just played hop-scotch all over Mikki Moore.  The dunk was so nasty people were talking about it before the game was done.  The game still isn't done - here is first video find.
