I share your sentiments, these tall, slow, offensively challenged centers never achieve star status. But I wouldn't be so quick to think that they can't produce for the right team. I think those two have enough basketball IQ to turn into solid rotation players.

Ok, i coulda done better. Picking "the big white center(s)" to be a bust is like shooting fish in a barrell.
Ok lets say Anthony Randolph

That article goes on to mention the infamous Kings-Lakers WCF series in 2002, which as anyone who watched it, including Lakers fans, will say Sac got jobbed a brilliant amount of times. Now of course, this could be just gobbledygook from a guy whose hosed, but "conspiracy theories" are not new to NBA fans. EDIT: the 06 (i believe) Rockets-Mavs playoffs matchup is also supposedly directed to call bised against Yao. This is is funny stuff. Any playoff series [your fav team] lost is cuz of the reffs! (unless youre the Lakers of course )

There's no doubt in my mind that bias occurs. Is it mandated by the league sometimes? Well, I know that the nba would be in deep shit if it could be proven since it's a federal offense. It would be pretty freaking hard to cover up all this when so many people are involved.
But does Donaghy need to lie? When he's already giving up the people he was working with? We'll never know, I'm pretty sure Stern will assassinate anyone who reveals NBA secrets. Donaghy better go deep undercover for awhile...

It wouldn't make sense if Donaghy lied to the feds. To get caught lying to the feds is gonna make sure you go away for an even longer time. The fact he pleaded guilty would infer he wants as short a lock-up as possible, I'd think its moronic to think he'd jeopardize that. But I mean, he did gamble and supply info to the mob so I'm sure he has a history of poor decision making...
and what pisses me off is that ESPN is burying this story. When Roger Clements was accused of HGH, they literally stopped the presses. The network shut down, ATH/PTI were bumped so Sportscenter could go non-stop about Clements. Turn it on to ESPN, its a Kobe slurrp-fest. During halftime it was just whispered about (after a slurp-fest) and JVG gave the most forced speech of his life. You can tell hes still totally pissed but doesnt want to lose his job.

Muhahaha, I know. He had this extremely akward pause in the middle of his speech, probably battling his conscience and telling himself that he needs the money.
I don't blame the man though, I have nothing but love and respect for JVG.

going through the espn videos today and it's disgusting how no one really wants to say what's in their minds. All the borderline criticisms and giving the audience the run around. They're not suppose to be in the pockets of the NBA, but it appears to be the case. All this would go away if they actually had more video replays and transparency.

Lakers win in 7 games btw to extend my prediction. Celtics can't win away and Kobe will blow up in one game in Boston, because love him, hate him, there is no one on the Celts line-up like Kobe in the clutch.

^ we'll see, tonight is a make or break game. Either it's a series or it's a bust.
I'll say this, Kobe as a person, as a teammate doesn't deserve a ring this year. Bastard bitches at everyone when things aren't going right and is all Lovey Dovey when the offense is flowing.
