Can't believe 2 NLSC-ers in All-NBA & Defensive 1st teams. Must is no surprise but Lliach is
Lliach definitely is a bit of a shock but he's been quietly carrying the Clippers... Ron Harper style.

Moses Chara said in a recent interview that the Seattle Stealth are "punks" and "are the suckiest team in the NBA"
"You think I'ma 'fraid of the Shits? Hell no. Those stupidasses don't even know how to play as a [expletive] team. Screw them. If you want a real champion, it's us, the Kings. The Shits better be prepared to suck our [expletive]."
Chara also said that winning the MVP proved that he was better than LeBron.
"Fuck Le[expletive]. That stupidass doesn't know when to leave a team, or when not to."
LeBron answered, saying, "When Moses Chara loses to the Stealth, then I will laugh, and burn his jersey Live on uStream."
Durant also responded.
"That little punk think's he's good? He really doesn't know who the hell he's messing with. You don't mess with the Seattle Stealth baby, especially not my team. That lil shit will pay, and trust me with pay, I mean pay."
The NBA has fined Durant and Chara $25,000 each for using expletives. James was not fined.

I was 5th in PER with a lockdown defense, so no surprise there. Just imagine Deron Williams with better defense.

First Round: Winners and Losers
By Willard Smith
It was an interesting first round with most results going the ‘right’ way. We saw two lower seeds, unsurprisingly, topple higher seeds. We also saw the possible League MVP and his team struggle and two monster series from Kevin Durant and Jay Gray. Two series went to seven games while one was a sweep. And we were reminded of how much the Knicks sucked. With the first round done and dusted, let’s go through the winners and losers of the first round!
WINNER: Kevin Durant
39.4 points a game. Throw in 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists a game. That is what I would call TOTAL DOMINATION. And that makes Durant a WINNER in my column. This guy made sure the Blazers knew that he meant business by hitting that game winner in Game 1. He only had about 20 in Game 2 but that was more due to the Stealth shifting their focus to the defensive end. He was back at it in Games 3, 4, 5 where he shot the lights out and gave the Blazers a killer migraine. Too bad this didn’t come in the regular season as it’s not going to help his MVP chances. However, if he can lead the Stealth to a title, I think he’d take that.
WINNER: Atlanta Hawks
Speaking of titles, the defending NBA champions came out and finished the first round as the only team still undefeated in the playoffs. Boy did they hammer home the message that they are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.
LOSER: New York Knicks
And the victims were the Knicks who just could not get it done on either end. The Knicks lost all four games by a combined 113 points. That’s a margin of 28.25 a game. That’s nearly 30 points a game. That is the definition of EMBARASSING. And that makes the Knicks one of the biggest LOSERS of the round!
WINNER: Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers
The Bulls and the Lakers both narrowly missed out on the postseason and perhaps for the better. They sat at home in their comfy surroundings as the team that made the cut got knocked out pretty quickly in the first round.
LOSER: Sacramento Kings
The Kings were pretty woeful. If they think that they are title contenders then they better think again as they could not even put away the pesky Clippers. Moses Chara is likely to win the League MVP and he started off the series strong with 42 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds in Game 1. He then had 36 points, 8 rebounds in Game 2. For the rest of the series, he slept walked his way through. Not an impressive showing from Sacramento.
LOSER: New Orleans Hornets
The Hornets were one step worse as they were eliminated. So much for the franchise moving forward in keeping star PG Chris Paul happy. This latest development does not bode well for the Hornets.
WINNER: Rookies Stepping Up
Dallas Mavericks rookie SG Leo Lai scored 17 points in Game 7. It was the perfect timing for the Chinese rookie to step up and he indeed saved the day for his side. As impressive as that showing was, it was actually Rookie of the Year snub Liam Washburn who stepped up during the entire first round. He posted averages of 18.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg – up from his season averages of 15.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg.
WINNER: Jay Gray
Jay Gray was a beast for the Bucks. Everyone knew that he had to be if they were any shot of advancing but no one could predict the following stat lines for the first 4 games of the series:Game 1: 40 points, 10 rebounds
Game 2: 32 points, 11 rebounds
Game 3: 28 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists
Game 4: 29 points, 20 rebounds
Yes, Jay Gray was a monster out there. He proved that he is capable of averaging 30 points a game. Impressive considering how he must cruise during the regular season (21 ppg, 10 rpg).
WINNER: Nets Team Basketball
The Nets have so much young talent, it’s too hard to decide where to start. Six players averaged double figures during the regular season; with Travis Outlaw a shade below at 9.7 ppg. That is an amazing feat. The team basketball from the Nets continued in the postseason and that frustrated the Philadelphia 76ers who had no answers for the quick hitting Nets’ motion offence.
LOSER: Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard may be the Defensive Player of the Year and defense may win championships but Superman’s reputation took another hit with yet another first round exit. Howard did not score more than 20 points all series except for in Game 1 (he had 21). If the Magic want to advance further, they do need a more consistent scoring threat. I’m just not sure how Dwight can’t be one.
LOSER: Philadelphia 76ers
The Sixers were in a great position to win the series and advance after a brilliant season. The underachievers of seasons’ past underachieved once again as they dropped out of the NBA postseason by losing 4 games in a row. This could have been the last stand as starting point guard Zoilo Resurreccion and starting centre Byron Brock are both up for free agency this Summer. Furthermore, starters Vince Carter and Elton Brand are ancient.
LOSER: Andre Iguodala
Iggy had so much praise this season and was even in the MVP discussions but he sucked in the first round. Iggy had back to back 12 point games and that was the reason for the Sixers dropping two of their four games that eventually led to their downfall. Iggy was 9 for 39 in those two 12 point games and it will take a while for him to recover. Philly was in a great place as they led the series 2-0. Iggy choked. It’s as simple as that.
