What has he done to prove he is a good coach though? I know he won the super bowl, but how long ago was that? Shanahan won multiple super bowls and kept that franchise in mediocrity while fielding pretty bad teams. A lot of coaches have been fired for less. In his 11 years coaching his winning % is .540 In his 7 years at tampa he is 57-55 .509% If you subtract the super bowl season he is 45-51 with 2 playoff appearances and 0 wins. 3 losing seasons and only one double digit winning season. so once again, what makes him a good coach? I'm honestly asking this question because i'm only a casual Buc fan because they're on TV here every week.

quote: He was known as a genius, a mastermind and, yes, a Super Bowl champion. Shockingly, though, Mike Shanahan has a new title: Unemployed coach. Shanahan became the latest and most stunning victim of the NFL coaching purge, fired Tuesday by the Denver Broncos after a late-season collapse knocked the team out of the playoffs for the third straight year. Shanahan became the fourth coach to be fired this week, joining Eric Mangini, Rod Marinelli and Romeo Crennel, after going 24-24 over the last three seasons. That included three straight losses this year that turned a three-game division lead to an 8-8 record. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=ApZvW0ycjeGCD4PK0...ed&prov=ap&type=lgns bucs should get him and fire Chucky.

NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Courtney Silva?

4 pt play!!!!!!!!!!

The matchups are set. Who will win this time? On Saturday we have The Falcons facing the Cardinals in Arizona as well as the Chargers against the Colts in Indianapolis. Sunday the Ravens play the Dolphins and the Eagles play the Vikings. I have the Falcons, Colts, Dolphins and Eagles winning the first round matchups.

Cuban seems like a nice guy.

So to extend him for 10 million per season would only reward him for his overachievement in the past, not for his production in the present or future. i think he can play up to this seasons level for a few more years. Somewhere between 16-18 ppg

quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:Hedo will get the maximum annual raise. 8% is what scrubs get. IMO, he and his agent should be happy with a 4 year deal starting at 8 million. That would put him at an average of appx 9.5 million over 4 years. FYI, Hedo will be 30 in 3 months. yeah i couldn't remember what the max raise was so i just went 8%. is the max 10.5%?

That's 12% of the entire NBA. Is Hedo better than 88% of NBA players? Now ask yourself...How many of the players on that list are better than Hedo? Then subtract the 5-7 absolutely awful contracts that shouldn't even be on that list. thats tough, i think hedo's value should be in between luol deng and michael redd the problem is I think both of their contracts are more than they are worth. Chicago thought Deng could be their franchise player, as did milwaukee with Redd but both have underperformed to their expectations. Also, age is a factor. Both of these players got their contracts at a younger age than Hedo. lets start him off at 7.2 mill the first year then increase by 8% every year $7,776,000 in year 2 $8,398,080 in year 3 $9,069,926.40 in year 4 if theres a year 5 than it would be $9,795,520.51 thats either a 4 year 32.5 mill contract or a 5 year 42 million contract.

:37.9 BOS - K. Garnett misses a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing probably not a good shot

quote: Originally posted by PEC: quote: Originally posted by ball junkie: quote: Originally posted by Guardian:****, Tony Battie and Brian Cook make an awful lot of money for what they bring to the table. We can sign some decent peeps for 4.5million each, I would think. Agreed...I think you could put J.J. Redick in that category too...$2,140,000.00 to sit on the end of the bench with Adonal Foyle...at least Foyle only makes $797,000...for the 11th and 12th players on our roster respectively. At least Battie is a contributor...I think the team is "trying" to showcase Cook for trading purposes...I'm hoping for the best, as we all are with trading Cook. Actually the most overpaid is Bogans compared to Redick. At least Redick scored for the Magic against the Hornets while Bogans couldn't sink a basket for the Magic, but he did for the Hornets. That's the kind of game he has for this past month. Plus unlike Redick, Bogans contract is an expiring that is worth a lot more to other teams out there. Neither player is overpayed at all compared to NBA standards. Bogans salary comprises 4% of our total salary. He scores roughly 6% of our points per game. he also makes 11% of our threes. Commits only 2% of our TOs Redick makes 3% of our salary. he scores roughly 4% of our points... i know salary and production shouldn't relate at this level i just thought id take a look at it.

It would make sense to take care of our own first so we have more to help the rest of the world. And I don't want to hear the crap that all the poor we have are lazy... Maybe some of you haven't been there... but I know as a fact your d* mned if you do or don't As a country we now are complaining about not being able to deal with christmas presents... To bad ... Are we spoiled ? Yes because we only think about how the rich can get richer and that's a fact of life. There's alot of us that can't afford to go to a game because we were'nt educated enough well guess what educated people your a** is on the line now Keep spending your bucks on the rest of the world instead of investing it in ours We aren';t a nation of idiots that don't care Were just a nation that's run by a bunch of idiots When was the last itme you helped an old lady across the street ? I did it yesterday. Sometimes helping other countries is helping ourselves as far as our country goes. Not really referring to this war, but alot of foreign policy descisions in the past weren't made so that we can be the global welfare agent. Descisions were made to help our country/economy/put in a US friendly govt. I also have never helped an old lady cross the street, I did buy a homeless man a chicken sandwitch the other day. Its kinda hard to discuss this without sounding like an ***.

quote: Originally posted by AddiFB:Ok ESPN sucks This is a Magic-Hornets game, and they spend the Halftime show talking about the Celtics and Lakers... Shut UUUUUP! That game is later! Ill give them a break for that. People were talking about this game since october.

good start.

wow we're getting alot of calls today. So this is what home court advantage feels like.

quote: Originally posted by InsideoutO:If nothing else it would be nice if the forums organized a section where members could buy slightly discounted tickets and get, message board shirts. I know if most of us got grouped up in the arena we could help get the place rocking. Especially for the playoffs. i would like that too. if you consolidate the fans that get into the game all into one section more people will participate.

If jameer can keep up his stellar play against the Hornets it may be the defining moment that gets him into the all star game. Nationally broadcasted game on a holiday so there should be alot of viewers Our team plays very entertaining basketball and should be considered a top 4 team in the NBA. He'll get compared to Paul (widely considered the game's top point guard) as they'll be playing against each other. Can't wait until tomorrow!!!

Today he's in mourning.

But this year, with the expected arrival of my son being any day now, I'll have to stay in S FL and watch the game on the tube (Maybe DVR'd if I'm in the hospital delivery room). Merry Christmas to everybody. Not the mark of a true fan. Kidding! That would have to be the best gift ever... though as a kid, I hear it sucks having a birthday so close to Christmas. Its not as bad as some people make it out to be. My youngest sister was born on christmas day. My family has always attempted to distinguish birthday things from christmas things for her sake. I always got jealous though because not only did she get presents the night before, she got double presents on christmas morning.

quote: Originally posted by OnlyIntelPosts:Kobe Bryant is just out of this world. Im surprised he didnt go for 60 or something. I dont get all this hype about LeBron when Kobe is still clearly the best in the world at this basketball thing. i think its because Lebron is such a physical specimen. He is a 6-8 point guard who weighs 250 (only 15 lbs less than dwight). When you see that coming at you its scary

quote: Originally posted by ball junkie:Very, very, very impressive win tonight!!! I actually predicted the Magic would lose this game...since the Lakers lost last night to the Heat I knew L.A. was gonna give it everything they had to win this one...there is no way they wanted to lose two games on back-to-back nights. True to form...Kobe was raring to go...all night long...the Lakers were really diggin' in to get this "W" but we were just a relentless team...we dug our heels in defensively in the second half and that was the difference. We wore Kobe down...all of our shooting guards taking turns gaurding him...Man, I felt sorry for Keith Bogans out there...how would you like to be on an island trying to check Kobe...late in the 4th quarter with the game on the line? Kobe got his points but Bogans did a H-E-L-L of a job(as did the others) keeping him at bay...Kobe shot 1-7 from the field in the 4th. Great Job Magic!!! Bogans did a great job. All of our 2s did a great job. Our effort on D was relentless. When Kobe really wants to win he can usually pull out a game and we stopped him.
