M@'s Musings

I’m a fan of the NBA… Most of the time. But I swear, the officiating has been horrible this year. Not just for my team, but all over. It’s enough to make you wonder.

Check out my speculation of what goes on in the NBA league offices.

Of course, *San Antonio* is still as strong as ever--stronger with the addition of *Barry*.

*Dallas* is weakened by the loss of *Nash*, but we finally have a center in *Dampier*! Plus, we have some good young players in *Daniels*, *Howard*, and *Harris* that bode quite well for the future.

Then there's *Houston*.

Now, I'm a good Dallasite. I love Austin and the Hill Country, like I'm supposed to. I also despise the city of Houston, like I'm required to. But I have to say, they just went from a _playoff_ contention team, to a _championship_ contention team.

With *Yao* and *McGrady*, their potential is just scary. And the worst part? They are playing pretty well even in the preseason. I shudder to think how good they'll be when they actually start to gel.

So the rest of the league? *Don't mess with Texas*.

PS: I feel sorry for *New Orleans*. They came from a weak eastern conference to the toughest division in the western conference--ours. Heh. Sucks to be them.
