[QUOTE=knickscity]Bosh is a franchise player. There is no argument there. he is talking out of his a$$
Back to the thread a DARKHORSE usually means having the least shot or most unlikely to do it BUT MIGHT. They fit that category, but in the east they are better than a darkhorse. Although lack of playoff experience may hurt them if they played Det or Miami first round.[/QUOTE]
Exactly
Lets get the record straight here, I didnt say they were going to win the east. I said they were a dark horse, how many times has a dark actually won. not many!!!!!
They werent a dark at the beginning of the season, they are now. No they dont match up well with Miami and especially Chicago. Detroit im not so sure, we'll find out soon when they play. And yes they don't have a lot of NBA playoff experience, but you have to start somewhere.
And to those comparing Bosh and Dirk. Dirk only wishes he was as a complete and good a player as Bosh is in only his early 20s.
Glad this thread got people thinking about the Raps and how fast they're coming on.
Toronto would definitely be classified as a dark horse.....and as darkhorses go I would say they have as good a shot in the east as the other darkhorses such as Orlando, Pacers, Knicks, etc.
:roll: the entire ****ing Eastern Conference is a darkhorse to win the conference.
[QUOTE=Bourne]:roll: the entire ****ing Eastern Conference is a darkhorse to win the conference.[/QUOTE]
Yah I'd put the Bulls, Pistons and Cavs in that category, hey lets throw Miami in too.
[QUOTE=Bourne]:roll: the entire ****ing Eastern Conference is a darkhorse to win the conference.[/QUOTE]
:roll: I would agree with John Barry that Indiana is really the potential upsetter in the East. Other than them, itll be Pistons, Bulls, Maybe Miami, Maybe Cavs.
[QUOTE=i seen hippos]We were just pointing out how much of a choker Dirk is....and that he hasn't done anything significant that Bosh hasn't...well that's what I percieved was going on at least...
But no one is saying Bosh is on Dirk's level.....i think.
Hope that cleared things up.[/QUOTE]
Yea, Dirk hasnt taken his team to the NBA Finals or anything...
Chris Bosh has done N-O-T-H-I-N-G yet, and you people wanna crown his ass. Halarious.
Dirk was the NBA MVP last season and is this season, if he actually gets the award is a different story, but most people know hes the MVP.

I am pretty sure Steve Nash was but if you said Dirk was it must be true:rolleyes:
Look at the talent difference in the Raps and Mavs teams in the past couple of years. Also how much longer has Dirk been in the league then Bosh?

You two are both retarded, did you not read " if he gets the award or not is a different story." Obviously I was implying last season as well.
Learn to read next time.

chris bosh is 22 years old... how old was dirk when he was considered an MVP candidate?
an uhh, dirk didn't win sh!t last year other than the 3 point contest at the all star game... check the trophy case at his house if you think i'm incorrect. just because he's YOUR mvp doesn't make him THE mvp...
it's like all those folks who voted for Kerry or whoever ran against Bush in the elections... he may have been THEIR candidate but bush is certainly THE president.

I'd say he was 24 when first thought of as a MVP Candidate... but I dont see Bosh becoming an MVP Candidate in the next two years for sure, if ever.
Bosh is a nice player, will go to multiple all-star games but nothing stands out about him to me.
Dirk only became an MVP candidate last year.:roll:
And as someone else said, there trophy cases look pretty similar.
I was joking previously, but you're dillusional if you think a guy that has never won **** can be placed on some sort of pedestal.

co sign
Isnt it funny how JHo is an allstar when it suits the Mav fans purposes, but then Dirk "carried" a weak team with only role players into the finals. Give me a break. Hes a great player, prob the best shooting big but get off his nuts. Yall remind me of the grady fans back in orlando days (at least dirk can get out of the first round)
Mavs in 02-03 won 60 games including their first 14.
Dirk averaged 25 and 10, I'd say he was an MVP Candidate that year.
In 04-05 he was 3rd, and was 3rd in 05-06.
So last year was the wrong answer sorry.
