Minnesota Timberwolves rulezzz!

Bogme kuva se na zapadu... ni Lejkersi nisu sigurni za plej-of... 

E, a kako to da su timovi na 5. pozicijama bolji od onih na četvrtim? Mislio sam da je to pravilo ukinuto...

Pobednici divizija osiguravaju 4. mesto... ranije bilo da osiguravaju 3. u konfernciji.

Aha, znači samo jedan 2. najbolji tim u diviziji može da bude bolji od 1. iz svoje divizije...

e ovako je novo pravilo prve cetiri pozice su za pobednike divizija i najboljeplasiranu drugu ekipu. ostale 4 idu po skoru. E sad ovako za istok detroit prvi, chikago drugi, toronto treci, majami cetvrti, klivlend 5 jer je treci u svojoj diviziji a ima bolji skor i od toronta i od majami a isti skor sa chikagom, ali bullsi bolji u skoru sa ekipama iz svoje divizije 

Randy Livingston Named NBA D-League MVP

Guard Randy Livingston has been named the NBA Development League’s Most Valuable Player for the 2006-07 season. Livingston, who was signed by the Seattle Sonics on April 11 from the Idaho Stampede, was selected by a vote of the D-League’s head coaches.



At the time he became the 21st Gatorade Call-Up of the season, Livingston, 6-4, 210, was leading the D-League in assists per game at 10.6, while averaging 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 39.3 minutes in 46 games. His 488 assists are a new D-League single-season record. The Stampede was 29-17 with Livingston in the lineup.

"From a coaching standpoint, Randy was the most valuable player to any team in this league. We would not be where we are without him, " said Idaho coach Bryan Gates, who was named the Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year on April 11. "From a friendship standpoint, I couldn't be happier for Randy. There is no one more deserving."

Named to the 2006-07 All-NBA Development League Gatorade First Team, Livingston dished out double-digit assists in 26 games this season, recording 16 double-doubles and two triple-doubles. His 20 assists against Anaheim on March 3 are good enough to share the league single-game record with Cedric Bozeman (Albuquerque) and Will Conroy (Tulsa, now Los Angeles Clippers). He was also selected to play in the inaugural Gillette D-League All-Star Game in association with 24 Hour Fitness in Las Vegas, but was forced to sit out the game due to injury.

“Randy Livingston enjoyed a superlative season this year,” said D-League Vice-President of Basketball Operations and Player Personnel Chris Alpert. “His leadership, court vision, passing ability, unselfishness, and competitiveness are some of the key reasons for Idaho's tremendous season.

“Our coaches recognize that Randy's contributions to his team's success go far beyond his ability to score points,” said Alpert. “He sets the tone for the Stampede on the offensive and defensive end of the floor, as well as in the lockerroom.”

Livingston joins Ansu Sesay (Greenville, 2002) current NOK Hornet Devin Brown (Fayetteville, 2003), Tierre Brown (Charleston, 2004), current Charlotte Bobcat Matt Carroll (Roanoke, 2005) and Marcus Fizer (2006) as winners of the D-League Most Valuable Player Award.

Denver pokvario oproštaj Hornetsa od Oklahome


Denver Nagetsi pokvarili su Hornetsima oproštaj od publike u Oklahoma Sitiju.

"Stršljenovi“, koji će sledeće sezone ponovno sve utakmice igrati u Nju Orleansu iz kojeg su izbegli 2005. godine nakon uragana Katrina, želeli su pobedu u svom poslednjem meču u Oklahomi i sve do dva minuta pre kraja utakmice činilo se da će uspeti u tome.

Medjutim, onda su gosti zatvorili utakmicu serijom 17:4 i od zaostatka 101:90 stigli do 107:105 na 17 sekundi pre kraja. Horneti su u samom finišu imali tri prilike da stignu do izjednačenja, ali ni Kris Pol, ni Devin Braun, ni Bobi Džekson nisu pogodili.

Najefikasniji kod Nagetsa, kojima je ovo bio osmi trijumf u nizu, bio je Karmelo Entoni sa 31 poenom. Alen Ajverson je upisao 23 koša i sedam asistencija, a Markus Kembi je zabeležio 15 poena, 11 skokova i neverovatnih devet blokada.

Hornetse, koji preostale tri utakmice igraju u gostima, predvodio je Dejvid Vest sa 31 poenom i 13 skokova, dok je Kris Pol nanizao 18 poena i osam asistencija.

“Vreme koje smo proveli u Oklahomi bilo je neverovatno. Bila je to za nas jedna avantura i mislim da smo svi u njoj uživali. Ne znam da li nam navijači govore’Zbogom’ ili ’Vidimo se’”, izjavio je trener Hornetsa Bajron Skot.

 



Nju Džersi u plej-ofu, 87. tripl-dabl Kida

Pobedom nad Njujorkom 100:86, Nju Džersi je osigurao mesto u plej-ofu, a Nikse izbacio iz doigravanja. Do trijumfa Netse je 87. tripl-dabl učinkom u karijeri predvodio Džejon Kid, koji je susret završio sa 13 poen, 14 skokova i 11 asistencija. Najefikasniji u pobedničkom timu bio je Vins Karter sa 25 poena, dok je Ričards Džeferson upisao dva manje,a za goste Frensis je postigao 22, Kolins 21, a Kari 20 poena.

Trijumf u noći izmedju petka i subote upisali su i Golden Stejt i Los Andjeles Klipersi, koji se bore za osmo mesto na Zapadu. Voriorsi su predvojeni Stivenom Džeksonom i Beronom Dejvisom slavili na gostovanju u Sakramentu 125:108, a Klipersi su kod kuće bili bolji od Portlnda 107:89
