Ik denk dat je hem wat dat betreft te hoog inschat. Hij is een aardige speler, maar.........een center. En laten we die nu wel in Nederland hebben. De afgelopen jaren waren de mannen onder de borden best redelijk: Smits, Hammink, Nahar, Gadzuric, Elson, Van Paassen, Zwikker, Rouwhorst en Huijbens. De problemen in Oranje lagen meer op andere gebieden.
Wanneer gaat basketballend Nederland nu een inzien dat Boot kampioen wordt door een team te 'kopen'. Dit jaar heeft hij al weer 16 spelers gebruikt. De ene exotische aanwinst na de andere wordt binnengevlogen en vervolgens weer uitgezwaaid. Oa Janisius, Siemon, Fox en Mims zijn al weer uit Grôningen vertrokken. Ik kan amper een speler bedenken die Boot beter heeft gemaakt. De enige naam waar ik op kan komen is Raoul Heinen.

Boot heeft hoegenaamd dezelfde status als Cruijff, volledig ten onrechte als je het mij vraagt. Je hebt helemaal gelijk met je woorden over Boot, maar men wil het niet inzien, men durft de koning van het Nederlands basketball nu eenmaal niet af te vallen, en een ieder denkt dat we hem hard nodig hebben om de door ons zo geliefde sport op de internationale kaart te ztten. De basketballerij in Nederland wordt gedomineerd door types die elkaar nablaten. :sad: Tijd dat we opstaan, Maartoe!

http://www.clickondetroit.com/The National Basketball Association suspended nine players involved in Friday night's fight at The Palace of Auburn Hills, according to reports.
The NBA came down hard on three members of the Indiana Pacers. Overall, nine players from the teams were banned for 143 games, including some of the harshest penalties the league ever issued. Artest is the first player to be suspended for nearly an entire season for a fight during a game.
Here is the list of suspensions:
Indiana Packers
Ron Artest -- Remainder of season
Stephen Jackson -- 30 games
Jermaine O'Neal -- 25 games
Anthony Jackson -- 5 games
Reggie Miller -- 1 game
Detroit Pistons
Ben Wallace -- 6 games
Chauncey Billups -- 1 game
Elden Campbell -- 1 game
Derrick Coleman -- 1 game
Indiana zal het lastig krijgen zonder Artest en O'Neal. Zonde want zij waren een van de favorieten in het oosten. Ben Wallace komt er goed vanaf met 6 wedstrijden. Hij vocht niet met het publiek (thuispubliek) en zal daarom minder zwaar zijn gestraft, maar hij was degene die het gevecht begon na de harde fout van Artest. Het valt trouwens wel op dat Rasheed Wallace zich zo keurig heeft gedragen. :eusa_doh:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/Artest hopes to be back for playoffs
Ron Artest said Monday night that he hopes to be back in an Indiana Pacers uniform for the playoffs despite being suspended for the rest of the season for his role in a brawl with Detroit Pistons fans.
"I have so much confidence in my squad and I have confidence I'll be back," Artest said on local radio station WHHH. "I'm out for the season, but I'm hoping to be back for the playoffs."
NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Artest for the season Sunday after Artest fought with fans on Friday night in Detroit. He bolted to the stands after being hit by a cup thrown by a fan, touching off a melee that included players exchanging punches with fans.
Stephen Jackson was suspended for 30 games and Jermaine O'Neal got 25 games for their roles.
The NBA Players' Association is appealing the suspensions.
When asked if the brawl was the worst event in NBA history, Artest said, "It probably is. When I get back I'm going to prevent things like that from happening."
Artest also said he had no ill will toward Detroit's Ben Wallace, who got things started when he shoved Artest after a foul late in the game.
"Wallace just had a death in the family, so I'm understanding," he said.
While he is out, Artest said he planned to work out, finish his rap album and work on a book, among other things.
Artest also said he planned to continue promoting a new CD from R&B trio "Allure," a group signed to his TruWarier record label.
Earlier this month, Artest was benched for two games after asking for time off because he was tired from working on the CD. He later said it was to spend time with his family and heal his aching body.
The CD was scheduled to be released Tuesday, and Artest planned an appearance at a local music store to sign autographs with Allure.
"Missing games is not something I want to do," Artest said. "Right now, I'm just playing the hand I'm dealt."
Zal hij nog wel tijd hebben om te trainen tijdens al die promotiewerkzaamheden?

1 (3) Spurs 8-2 Would have been an easy call had Spurs finished off Toronto properly. They're winning, yeah, but you can be sure Pop doesn't want to reward them after Sunday's fourth-quarter disaster.
2 (9) Suns 8-2 Watch a Suns game this week. Trust us. We could all use a smile and these guys, without doubt, are the league's primo entertainers at present. :worshippy:
3 (5) Heat 8-3 While folks continue to question their depth, Heat are soothing themselves by pounding East foes (7-0). And Pacers' woes mean that the path to the conference finals just got even easier.
4 (2) Jazz 7-3 Of greater concern than the losses in Fla. (big to Orlando, unlucky in Miami) is the defensive slippage. Giving up 100-plus points in three of last week's four games was not so Jazzy.
5 (6) Timberwolves 5-3 Wolves have been a bit quiet, but that should change this week. They've got five games between now and Sunday -- at Mavs, Pacers and Kings, home to Supes and Grizz.
6 (8) Kings 6-4 It sounds as though Peja's Sacto home is no longer for sale . . . and it looks as though Arco is still a place teams would rather not visit. No matter how un-deep the new Kings are. :xyxthumbs:
7 (10) SuperSonics 9-2 Sayeth Ray: 'I'm not playing like this because it's the last year of my contract.' Sayeth us: The contract issue can't hurt and should help Allen keep this up, even if other Sonics can't.
8 (1) Mavericks 8-3 Bad week for Dallas, and not because of the losses to Phoenix (home) and Denver (away). It's because of the losses: Dampier, Terry and now Nowitzki.
9 (7) Pistons 5-4 You could argue that Pistons deserve a bigger drop for their role (and their fans' role) in The Malice of Auburn Hills. You can bet that the commitee will take action if the league doesn't.
10 (4) Pacers 7-3 You can make the case that Pacers, in their depleted state, should be dropped into the 20s. I just didn't have the heart to do that to suffering Pacer People. Yet.
11 (11) Lakers 6-5 Interesting point raised by my colleague Greg Anthony, who says Magic got more for T-Mac than Lakers got for Shaq. I'm starting to agree with him? Do you?
12 (13) Cavaliers 6-4 With only one quality win (Phoenix), it's too early to gush over anything here apart from LeBron. Of course, dealing strictly with LeBron you can gush away.
13 (17) Magic 6-3 Keep it going, Grant. You sense that everyone associated with the league welcomes any feel-good story it can find right about now and this is clearly No. 1 on the list. :applaus:
14 (22) Nuggets 5-5 Nuggets are rebounding when they absolutely have to, in the midst of a 10-game stretch with nine home dates . . . and a seven-game roadie to follow,
15 (12) Rockets 6-6 Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that they've started slowly. Rockets just might be the slowest team in the league, because of a serious athleticism shortage that must be addressed.
16 (15) Grizzlies 4-6 Grizz is just the fifth 50-win team in history to start the following season 0-4. And now, just when it looked like they were recovering, Pau is freshly hobbled.
17 (20) Celtics 4-4 Sonics were due for a loss, true, but Celts were due for a complete game, too. Fact is, Boston's record should be much better, having blown late leads in all its losses.
18 (24) Knicks 4-5 Though they've been a .500 team this season for less than 24 hours, give Knicks some credit. They handled the dreaded Texas Triangle better than anyone expected.
19 (18) Raptors 5-6 An angry Commish had no real outlet to crack down on Vinsanity for his ludicrous trade request . . . but Coach Mitchell obviously does. We just wish Pape was getting those VC minutes.
20 (23) Wizards 5-4 The way Wiz season has started, and given how Golden State's season has started, it probably won't be long before Warriors ask for Jamison, Arenas and Hughes to come back.
21 (14) 76ers 4-6 Belated disclaimer on last Wednesday's praise of AI the PG: AI has to be playing for the praise to apply, but a sore elbow shelved him Sunday.
22 (17) Bucks 3-5 As much as we love Redd -- and you know how much that is -- the committee still can't see Bucks finishing higher than fourth in the Central. Even with all Indy's problems.
23 (19) Trail Blazers 4-5 As more than one Blazer has noted, Portland would be No. 1 if these were Clear The Air Rankings. But team meetings don't help you in the NBA Power Rankings unless wins fill the air. :pukey:
24 (21) Clippers 5-6 There's only one word to justify why Lakers are so far ahead of their neighbors in these rankings. It's a four-letter word. Yeah, you guessed it: K-O-B-E.
25 (27) Hawks 2-7 Put them at the top of the scrap-heap section for that comeback win over Houston . . . and signs that they're looking slightly more competitive. Slightly.
26 (25) Nets 2-7 You knew they'd struggle sans J-Kidd. What you didn't know is they'd be the first team in the shot-clock era to score fewer than 70 points three times in the season's first nine games.
27 (28) Bobcats 1-8 Getting fans in the building has been tougher than expected, but it looks as though Bobcats are mastering the art of the excruciating loss. They've got three already.
27 (26) Warriors 2-8 At 0-7 against Western opposition, Warriors (and Montgomery) have to know that they're out of the playoff race already. Barring a miracle for the rookie coach.
29 (29) Hornets 0-8 This is just a hunch, but we don't see Hornets turning their own 0-7 start into a 42-40 Cinderella story like Miami did last season. Do you? :nooo:
30 (30) Bulls 0-8 This is just a hunch, but we don't see Bulls following the Miami blueprint and turning their own 0-7 start into a 42-40 Cinderella story like Heat did last season. Do you?
NBA: Pacers verrassen met overwinning
INDIANAPOLIS (ANP) - Zonder de langdurig geschorste sterren O'Neal, Jackson en Artest hebben de Indiana Pacers een verrassende overwinning behaald op de Boston Celtics, 106-96. Derdejaarsprof Jamaal Tinsley werd topscorer met 29 punten.
James Jones kwam tot 22 punten en 10 rebounds, twee persoonlijke records in het Amerikaanse profbasketbal. Bij de Pacers zaten slechts acht spelers op de bank, van wie vier licht geblesseerd. De ploeg kreeg bij de entree in het eigen Conseco Fieldhouse een staande ovatie van de 17.135 toeschouwers.
De 26-jarige Tinsley die kortgeleden zijn contract met zes jaar verlengde tegen 40 miljoen dollar, wierp zich op de vloer op als de leider van de jonge ploeg, die veteraan Reggie Miller (39) mist door een gebroken pols.
Dan Gadzuric, Danny G in de NBA, speelde 21 minuten voor de Milwaukee Bucks in de wedstrijd tegen de LA Lakers (96-100). De Haagse center was goed voor 7 punten en 11 rebounds.
