Just some random thoughts... I would really like to know what Ray Felton said to KG at the end of the 'Cats and the Celts game tonight. The tagline up top is about all I can think of, though it is hilarious to see someone looking straight up in order to talk shit. Furthermore, out of all the people to talk shit to KG would not be my choice even though he is a class guy he is about as intense as they come. The crazy look in his eye would be enough for me to let whatever it was slide, especially if my team had already won the game.
Isiah can't even stand to watch the Knicks anymore. He got kicked out of a game where the Knicks were actually hanging around after a night when they had actually won. The Knicks were staying close with the Rockets, sigh, and Zeke decides he doesn't like his seat and heads out onto the court. I think Zeke put the Imperius curse on Dolan. The Knicks were being booed with in the first three minutes of the game tonight. How is David Lee not starting on this team? He was the only guy out there that seems to want to play. The Knicks look like George Romero's basketball team.
Speaking of dead men walking, Hollinger seconded my emotion on the Heat today. Not a hard decision seeing as the have had their asses handed to them in two consecutive games by Minnesota and Milwaukee respectively. The only competent guy on that team that doesn't look a cadaver is Dwayne Wade. Wade ought to sit out the rest of the season and get healthy, maybe he could spend the rest of the season forcing Shaq to work out until the start of next season. He could be Shaq's sponsor AA style.
It is early in the year to talk about Coach of the Year candidates, but Nate McMillan has to be so far in front of the pack right now that it isn't funny. Portland has a young roster that Nate himself wasn't sure would win at the beginning of the season, and as Dusty pointed out if the playoffs started today the Rose Garden would be somewhere that no one wanted to visit. If Oden is half as good as people have hoped and Presti locks some of these guys up, Portland will be romping on the Pacific division faster than you can say Steve Nash is getting old. Portland is fun to watch, and they have guys that are not anywhere close to reaching their Hubie(upside). I think we should say Hubie instead of upside from now on because the man should have trademarked it, and I miss seeing Mr. Burns roaming the sidelines.
I think Steve Francis and Tracy McGrady are trying to outdress each other instead of out playing each other as Rockets fans had hoped. They have some really nice suits and diamond studs that could pay off my student loans. I imagine their conversations being the opposite of the McDonald's value menu commercial where the guys are discussing how much their wardrobe costs.
All-Star voting really needs to change. I am all for this being a showcase for the fans, but something needs to be instituted where people have to have played a certain percentage of the games to be voted into the game. You won't meet a bigger Rockets fan, but Tracy should not start this All-Star game. I would really like to see the guys playing the best basketball in the league playing together, not the prom queen parade showcasing their new shoes. Really, let's think about this do you remember your high school's voting for student council and yearbook titles, the same people won every year even if most people thought they were ass wipes. Granted some of them were decent and deserved to be voted the person that peaked to early, and even fewer of them were actually pretty damn cool. Much like the NBA All-Star game.
This isn't basketball, but does anyone in their right mind not think that Roger Clemens is jack ass, even on the off chance he isn't lying?
On the same kick as the BCS denouncers I am beginning to think the NBA might need to set up a tournament that pits those on the edge in the West against last four teams in the East to qualify for the playoffs, so that the playoffs in both conferences are a dog fight. 9-12 in the West would beat the East's 5-8, and it would not be close. Houston, Utah, the Ball Sacs, and the Paper Clips would only have problems with the Raps. The Hawks might contest, but Jersey and the one man show that is Lebron James would have a rough time with any of the teams not in last place in their division in the West. Put it this way do you want to see a series between New Jersey and Atlanta in May. That's what I thought.
The Captain signing off for now...
