Comment on Felton Leads Short-Handed Knicks Past Heat 112-92 by Jeff Sack

Habeeba,

Not taking away anything from Jeremy Lin, but Felton is a proven better than average point guard in the NBA. I wrote this summer it would be a good move, so far he has proven me right!

Comment on Howard Shows Magic Fans Compassion That LeBron Never Displayed For Fans Of Cavaliers by Jeff Sack

Former D-12 Fan;

I totally understand your mindset; that the bandaid that Howard gave Magic fans with his ad in the Sentinel; was far too small to cover the gaping wound he left with his departure, as well as with the behavior he has shown over the last year plus. I wrote an article earlier this summer suggesting that Hennigan and the team play hard-ball with him; to pay him for the year, but making him stay at home with no contact with the team until he was ready to be more cooperative. Unfortunately; in their stare-down contest Orlando blinked and Dwight got his way.

He also displayed a very unpleasant side of his personality over the last year and it had to be tortorous for Magic fans, the will he go or stay until March 15, he signs the extension and then Van Gundy turned into a land-mine! That may have the most bizarre part of the entire season; when Stan confirmed the reports that Howard wanted him out. What could have possibly been going through his mind, that told him he was making a good move by allowing the public to peak behind the curtain? He sealed his own fate right there, by dropping that bomb; he basically gave them more than justifiable reasons not to renew his contract. Howard did react childlishly as well and that pretty much killed the relationship with team and player. Then to insinuate that he was blackmailed not to opt-out last spring, was purely ridiculous.

All that being said, I Still have more respect for “SUPERMAN” than I do for LeBron, or for that matter Carmelo, Deron, Metta World Peace, or Stephen Jackson, all who pulled similar stunts; because he at least had the class to thank the fans for their support. The fans are the ones who suffer the most in these situations, whether it is the Lockout or their franchise player leaving the team. Howard acknowldged them which is far more than James did when he took his services to South Beach. LeBron was treated like a GOD in Cleveland and he never had the class to thank the fans, or tell them how much he appreciated their support. It does not erase a thing Howard did, but it still pleased me to see him give his former fans thanks and it has given me more reason to respect him than I had a week ago.

Thanks for the comment,

Jeff Sack

To little to late. He quit on his team and the fans last year when he left town . He was emrassed by SVG , so he went into hiding and held his breath like a BIg Baby until he got traded.

Comment on Bosh Says Lakers Are Better Than Heat “On Paper” by Jeff Sack

Raul;

If Garnett and Sullinger can stay healthy this season, I believe they may have the deepest team in the Eastern Conference. I will always admire and respect Ray Allen, who will be in the Basketball Hall Of Fame someday, but at this juncture, I would say J-Terry is an upgrade. Ainge did a great job this summer in the Draft and Free Agency; The Heat will not be hungry enough after winning it all last year. Brooklyn has made some great strides, but they need time together to become a true team before they can compete. Sixers have improved, not sure by how much, or if Bynum can stay healthy two-years straight. Knicks will be helped by the discipline of Camby and J-Kidd, which should keep Melo in check. Bulls are not close to the same team without Rose, Pacers could take step back this year after choking against the Heat in the Playoffs. Atlanta will be going through culture shock this season and the Magic will be anything but Magical this year. BIG BABY DAVIS, not close to ready to lead a team. Boston is vastly improved from the team that took the Heat to seven games this past season, I could easily see them winning the East. Thanks for the comment.

Percy;
I truly thought that Los Angeles would trade Metta World Peace this summer, as I believe he is more of a distraction to the club than an asset. He played the good soldier his first year with the Lakers, but the last two years he has reverted back to being a problem child, especially last season. Just when you think he has finally started to grow up, he loses focus once again! Thanks for the comment.

Celtics all the way. All around they have the best bench in the NBA. Lakers do have the best starting four (with Howard, Kobe, Pau, Nash), but look at the bench of the C’s: Terry, Lee, Green & Wilcox combine for an average of 47.5 ppg. So when you mix it with KG, Pierce Rondo & Bradley they are the second best team in the East on paper, but do NOT count them out as possible 2013 Champs!!

Celtics all the Way!

Comment on Will The Sacramento Kings Become The Virginia Slims? by Jeff Sack

APW,
My apologies, I was always under the impression that they had revamped Arco Arena which turned into Power Balance Pavillion, but I thought they were still in the original building. Thanks for the correction. I held the Maloof Brothers in high regard during the Adelman era, but their casino money dried up and they have been spinning their wheels for years. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
