What exactly do you know? The east is for the bangers and the west is finesse and scoring. Please don't come in here and explain things that you obviously don't know much about.</div> I'll admit the West is stronger in talent, yes, but that in no way means that a player will put up bigger numbers in the East than the West. In general, West teams are more offense, less defense, leading to more points scored in games. If anything, it will inflate the numbers of WC players. You said it yourself, the West is about "finesse and scoring, so therefore offensive output for players will be higher. If the East is for the "bangers", than why has Kidd been so successful? He is by no means a banger. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There is a big difference. The west has the edge over the east in terms of games won. Not much of a difference? Then again, you are from Winnipeg. How can I expect you to understand anything else but the ignorant game of hockey</div> Yes, I have already said the West is stronger, but that will only lead to a marginal number of more wins, as they only play the weak teams once or twice more than the west. Also, it won't really lead to inflated player stats. Marbury played far better his first season with the Suns than he did as the main man on NJ. If you think that West players would put up better numbers in the East overall, then I don't know what to tell you, you obviously haven't payed much attention to the cross-conference trades the past few years. Okay, I'm from Winnipeg, doesn't mean I love hockey. You think Kidd is going to be some thug because he's from Brooklyn . Get rid of that stupid stereotype crap. Where is Markham anyway (I assume it's not the one in England). Is it even a city? Do you even have basketball there? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Dude, what the west goes through is more gruelling in terms of skill. And after the west has used up their energy playing their best basketball. The east comes in and cleans what's left. </div> Oh give me a break, that's an awful argument. Teams like Miami and Detroit were better on paper than any West team. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Hold on here. Shaq was injured for a good while in Miami when he came in "oh god of basketball". That was about injuries and not skill level, plus age. Did Miami not win because of Shaq this year</div> Even when he was healthy, he was considerably worse than the previous years. His nagging toe injury affected him on LA as well, and he still played better his last year with LA. No, they didn't win because of Shaq. I think that guy by the name of Wade had something to do with their title. What did Shaq avg. like 13 and 8? That's role player numbers. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Age dummy. They traded for a younger McGrady.</div> I'm not talking about why they made the trade, I'm saying Francis went from an all-star in the WC, to a mediocre talent in the East

Check the thread before you lecture. Riding Kidd? I'm just laying it out as it should be. Unlike others who just type away without checking the facts and looking like a bunch of idiots!
<div class="quote_poster">hollagr8 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I have one thing to say to both AMS_ice and Kidd. Guys, you seem to forget the most important thing about that Trade for Kidd. The reason why Kidd produced was because he got shipped out of the HARD WEST and got sent to the EASY EAST. Obviously a half decent player in the west at the time would do wonders in the east. In the meantime, Nash has never left the west, but I can guarantee one thing; Nash is a good player in the west and probably would be in the east, and Kidd couldn't cut it in the west and does a little better in the EAST. He's lucky he got traded. Playing sub-par teams will make anybody look good.</div> Wow! Here's another one! READ Kidd's accomplishments when he was in Phoenix! I posted it already! R E A D! HARD WEST, EASY EAST, that's a BS excuse! And what you said regarding a half decent playre from the West can do wonders in the East, what about Steve Francis? Just like what XSV said, Francis was considered a franchise player in the West, where is he now? From Orlando to New York, what has he done? What?! Check for FACTS! Get your F@#!$! no sense comments outta here!

Maybe you should read what I wrote about Francis getting old, or do you NOT READ. The West is harder, dummy, and XSV agreed with it. Are you that obtuse that you have to fight that? You emotional Nets fans make me sick. Kidd is a WIFE BEATER too, why do you side with him anyways? Or am I wrong about the whole spousal abuse situation, and it is now written out of the tabloids so that you Nets fans don't get overly emotional about it too. Get outta here. The Nets WON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS this year, and CARRRRRRRRRTER is outta here after this season. Keep cryin ICE.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Kidd is a WIFE BEATER too,</div> Now you have taken it too far. Yes he and his wife had a problem....in which Kidd was wrong. He made a huge mistake and didn't look like a man at all. He realized it and they went to family therapy, and everything worked out well. I believe they had two more children after the incident, and his wife is always at the home games smiling. They gotten over so do the same.
