Gilbert Arenas has been suspended indefinitely without pay by the NBA. Good for them. Arenas is a moron.

Stern took his freeking time about it didn't he?

I still cannot believe this story, and your asumption of Arenas is spot on. He shoukd be booted out the league for good imo.

The Raps had a nice win against the Spurs last night, which made up for the poor showing against Boston's bench players on Saturday. Chris Bosh also became the Raptors all time points scorer.

A nice way for him to bow out before signing for the knicks next season with Lebron.

Reading behind Stern's comments about him not being fit to take to the Court, he may well be.

The Raps avoided a sweep in Orlando last night but made bloody hard work of it in the 4th. Still, they're back at 500 and have won 7 of their last 8.

If he goes, I hope he'd have enough sense to go to a side that's going to get him to the finals.

A convincing win for the Bulls last night 120 - 87, handing a very poor pistons team their 13 loss on the bounce.

I realise that the western conference is the stronger of the two, but having just had a quick look at the standings, I was shocked at how much more competative it is over the eastern conference.

The WC has 11 teams with a .500 record or higher, compared to only 5 teams in the EC

Nothing new there. At least now the East have teams that are capable of challenging the West.

The Raptors lost ugly on Monday, throwing away a 23 pt lead in Indy. They have a long rest period, which they need cos they looked knackered in the second half. I am loving the new Andrea Bargnani though. He's really coming good this season.

Another great game from Bargnani -how fitting that it was Italian heritage night at the Garden. It got a bit messy at the end but still a good win against a much improved Knicks side. Calderon and the rookie Derozan also had impressive games. Nice to see Jose bounce back after almost a month out of action.

The Mavs tomorrow - should be fun!

Impressive west coast road trip so far for the Bulls. They have won 3 on the bounce out west, the latest win coming last night against the spurs.

Just 1 game under .500 now, so hopefully the bulls can sustain the level that they have performed at in the last 12ish games and not slip back to their old shoddy ways.

Not bad considering your still trying to free up cash for the Lebron, Wade, Bish sweepstakes.
