If you think that I was being serious about the horse's head in your bed, I may not be the "paranoid" one here. :)

That was the only intentionally funny thing you've said in this thread. Everything else has been a bonus! :cheers:

I find you funny, as well, PapaG. It's why you were never able to bug me, even when you tried your hardest. :)

I guess we'll have to be comfortable with amusing one another. :cheers:

Well, that, and then we can't forget the m.o. for mods in terms of attracting hits to a board. :cheers:

I have no financial stake in this forum, so hits on the forum aren't relevant to me. Judging from conflict created, you seem to be the one more likely being paid to "attract hits" of the two of us.

Nice work if you can get it! :cheers:

You should probably reread you posts in this thread at this point instead of stalking my posts. :cheers:

Stalking? Wow, you're paranoid! :)

Anyway, I guess this thread has been derailed too much by this banter, so I'll stop.

Dallas and Phoenix were two teams that were far superior to the Philadelphia 76ers of last season.

.....and?....and?....?

Seems like half a post.

Your point is what?

Philly was 41 and 41 with their new franchise player - Elton Brand - effectively out for the season. That team was Iggy, Dre and a mix of below average to crappy vets (Willie Green, Dalembert, Reggie Evans), and several very nice looking, but very young players (Thaddeus Young, Lou Williams, Speights). That was not going to be a winning combination.

Dallas during Nash's last season had a better AND much deeper roster and was a healthy team. They won 52 games. The year prior with Nash they had won 60. The next three seasons without Nash they won 57, 60 and 67 games.

Phoenix the season before Nash (and SSOL) arrived won 29 games. Is that what you mean by "far superior"? I guess you mean talent on the roster, cause they certainly were not superior in the win total to the "inferior" 76ers.

That Phoenix team was in dissarry and transition. Coach fired 20 games into season. I am not sure what we can make of it. Their starting PG, Marbury only played 30 games. A 22 yo Joe Johnson had to take over the point. Other big minute players were a 21 yo Amare (who only played 55 games) and a 21 yo Barbosa and a 22 yo Casey Jacobson. The oldest player with more than 1,000 minutes was Jake Voskul. That team also suited up 19 players during the season.

Big minutes to young players, no starting Point for most of the season, mid-season coaching change, injuries, shifting lineups. That same team could have brought in an average quality starting PG, and average quality coach, had a healthy season, and the big bump in wins would have been there. Hard to gage the Nash/Dantoni effect with so much else going on.
