Now in convenient bullet form!
- Manu Ginobli's head now reflects light with more radiance than the moon.
- Umm, the Magic are really freaking good. Even with Rashard Lewis suspended for the start of the season Orlando is legitimately 10 deep, no seriously they are. Brandon Bass, Jason Williams, Marcin Gortat, J.J. Reddick, and Matt Barnes all came off the pine last night. Once Lewis is back you can add Ryan Anderson to that group. The Magic's bench could be the 8th seed in the East.
- It only took 2 games for the Celtics to become bored with the regular season.
- Someone (Chris Mullin) needs to fire Don Nelson immediately, he has two of the most exciting young scorers in the NBA, and he's decided to bring them off the bench. The Anthonies (Morrow and Randolph) both absolutely set the Summer League on fire and need to start and play 40 minutes a night. Sit down Cap't Jack and Turiaf and allow the kids to shoot you in and out of every game. The Warriors aren't making the playoffs either way, they might as well trot out the most explosive offensive lineup they have and keep the fans entertained.
- Shaq's plus/minus rating against the Raptors last night in 25 minutes on the floor was -25. Teams with a pick and pop big man like Andrea Bargnani are going to kill the Cavs all year.
- With all the talent consolidated at the top of the East this year, LeBron going 1 on 5 every possession isn't going to win Cleveland a championship. The clock has now started on Mike Brown's career.
- Rasheed Wallace has now officially entered the old man "F U" mode of his career. Through two games Sheed has attempted 17 field goals, 14 of which have been 3-pointers. He's like that old guy who still plays men's league but is too old and lazy to do anything but drift around the perimeter and chuck up 3s. Anyone who thinks he is somehow a suitable replacement in the event that KG's knees fail him again is crazy. Sheed is past the point where he can be counted on as a starter on a championship contender.
- NBA refs are back! Ughh.

I want to see a post titled "GIVE RONDO HIS F'ING MONEY" about how Rondo deserves his dough.
ReplyDeleteNo way. Rondo is a restricted free agent, there is NO need to extent him. Worst case scenario is some team makes an offer, and the Celtics have to match or they pull a sign and trade. Rondo has no leverage right now, and will never be worth the 12 million a year he thinks he's worth on the open market. I think Danny has played this correctly.
ReplyDelete5 YEARS $55 MILLION - HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!
ReplyDeleteVery much, but your caps lock is stuck.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like your message says "I have nothing to say to your irrefutable point so I am going to make a snarky comment about caps lock. You win."
ReplyDeleteIs that what you meant to say?
I'm sorry you made a point? I thought you were reporting news with the caps lock on. Do I need to start some sort of forum so that you can yell at me in real time?
