NBA Partyer of the Week….

February 29, 2008

I know I posted this as one of my first posts, but I had to put it out there again. THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME…..

MICHAEL JORDAN

His Airness gets down with two very average chicks in Cabo, c’mon Mike, you can do better. Yes, Michael is single now, yes he’s worth like a billion dollars, but not if Juanita Jordan gets her share. So that being, party on MJ, even if the chicks aren’t that great (note MJ’s intense thrusting face and ripped trendy jeans).


Anyone care for 1995?

February 29, 2008

The amount of players rejoining old teams this year is out of control, well at least evident. Chris Webber back to Golden State (not that he’s made much an impact, eh?), Jason Kidd to Dallas and you can add Theo Ratliff into that mix. It looks like Ratliff will be signing with the Pistons in the next couple days here, according to Chris McCoskey of The Detroit News.

Ratliff was a 1995 First Round Draft Pick of the Pistons, and if McDyess can stay on the court in Detroit, I bet Ratliff can give them some quality minutes in the playoffs.


MARK MADSEN IS AWESOME. (PART ONE)

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!?!?!


Hey German Kids…Don’t Smoke!

February 29, 2008

Dirk wants the German kids to not smoke those silly foreign cigarettes, I couldn’t agree more….

…Dirk might not smoke, which is great, but he definitely gets hammered.


Reunited? Cassell waived by Clippers.

February 29, 2008

Sam Cassell was waived by the LA Clippers today, and many think Boston is his next destination.

For the past 10 years Cassell has been one of the top point guards in this league, he’s been vastly underrated, but he’s always been a huge contributor, especially in his first seasons with a team. His first year in Minnesota he made his first All-Star Team, and the Wolves finally made it out of the first round (losing in the Conference Finals to the Lakers). His first year as a Clipper, he helped lead the team to their first playoff appearance in 2,000 years and they ALMOST made it to the Conference Finals (I think he was a very legit and overlooked MVP candidate that year).

Most think Sam-I-Am will be rejoining Kevin Garnett and head to bean town, if they do wind up getting him, I think it can legitimately put the Celtics into the finals, and maybe beyond. Even though the Celtics have had a great year, I don’t think they were tough enough, or deep enough to win a title, but adding PJ Brown and Cassell can definitely change that.


PJ Brown heading to Bean Town.

February 27, 2008

The Celtics got a great veteran free agent today in PJ Brown. He is a Detroit Piston killer too, so that adds to his value for them. Now if Cassell can bought out and get to Boston as well, you have to start to like their overall chances.


Yao Ming cannot stay healthy

February 27, 2008

Yao Ming had quite a bit of pressure coming into the league. He had big expectations, he was the number one pick, he was a 7-6 monster who many thought would be a flop.

He has proven them all wrong. Yao has turned into a fantastic player, he’s arguably the best big man in the game, alongside Dwight Howard. The last three years for Yao have been injury filled, and it’s becoming routine. This year Yao appeared in 55 games for the Rockets. Last year, he played in 48 games, and the year before he gave them 57. He’s missing way too many games, and now he won’t even be ready for the playoffs.

It’s unfortunate, but what can be done? Is Yao just not cut out for an 82 game season physically? He’s obviously huge and one of the largest players in league history, and having fractures in his foot is not a good sign for his career to come.

It’s a shame for Rockets fans. The Rockets are on a 12 game winning streak, and now they lose their centerpiece of the franchise, on top of that, T-Mac hasn’t had much success with health either in recent years. Add to that, T-Mac has never been out of the first round, and losing Yao doesn’t help his case. Even with a 12 game win streak, the Rockets are only have the 7th seed in the East, and are only 3 ahead of the ninth place Nuggets.

At this point, the playoffs look bleak for the Rockets.

This year was supposed to be the Rockets year, though the season never got off on a good note, and now it’s going to end even worse. Yao, obviously should be back in uniform by next season, but can Houston be confident they can actually have him for more than 65 games next year? Also, is Yao planning on playing in the Summer Olympics, cause if I was a Rockets fan, I definitely wouldn’t want him playing any extra ball, something that might be to blame for his constant injuries.

Hopefully this isn’t the start of the end of Yao Ming’s career.


Sorry Houston.

February 26, 2008

Horrible news for the Houston Rockets and my fantasy team, Yao Ming is
done for the season according to the Houston Chronicle.

I was going to use the "Houston, we have a problem" headline, but
that's played out.

Yao Ming has proven the skeptics wrong, he can play and play at an
extremely high level. Unfortunately, he just cannot stay healthy, same
story every season.


Digital Underground rocking Denver.

February 26, 2008

Man, I wish I would have been able to be in Denver tonight for the Nuggets/Pistons game.

Old school rap group Digital Underground performed, as we see Shock-G rockin’ the mic below.

If you don’t know who Digital Underground is….think of “The Humpty Dance.” Now you better know who they are.
