Alot to get to today....Let's go to the College Hardwood First...
- Pretty much a good old-fashioned beatdown in the Women's title game last night...Tennessee laid the wood to Stanford from the jump....Candace Parker (in long sleeves!!!) was great as usual and Stanford (outside of Wiggins) looked overmatched...Oh well, was mildly entertained either way
- Kevin Love and Darren Collison reportedly both bolting for the NBA and supposedly hiring agents...Collison doesn't surprise me but Love mildly does....No one (including a big fan like me) knows what to make of him as an NBA player....That said, his mom has maintained he hasn't decided yet, so we'll see how this plays out....Collison will be a top 3 PG taken most likely battling Augustin, etc. for the spot after Rose is gone
- Well, College basketball is officially over...Oh, the humanity....more NBA and MLB now...and NBA draft talk..obv....Oh yea, Anthony Randolph (lottery), Chase Budinger (first round) and Marreese Speights all declare too
To the NBA...
- CP3 held to FOUR points against Utah...and the Hornets held to 66....not a good way to end your MVP campaign Chris...let's pick it up...
- The Hawks lay a classic Hawks egg on the road in Indy....I've spent the better part of today worrying about the most epic of epic collapses and missing the playoffs....somebody wake me when it's over...
- Recap: New York wins in Detroit? What? hahaha...Vintage Pistons....Lakers go down in Portland despite Kobe's 34 and keep pace with NO...Golden State puts up 140 in beating Sacto...in regulation...man that's alot of points
Other things....
- Matt Stover (Ravens' Player Rep) apparently leading the charge on trying to get Gene Upshaw ousted from the Players' Union Head....umm, random? I have heard things about him being bad...but this very public
- Tigers fall to 0-7 losing in Boston as the BoSox get their rings....Same game, Boston gave a standing O and let Bill Buckner throw out the first pitch...bout time
- Braves notes: Another close loss....Getting increasingly frustrated as we go here...and yes it's early....Also, Jordan Schafer (The Braves #1 Prospect overall) suspended 50 games for HGH....expletive.....He's supposed to be the guy Mark Kotsay is bridging to in Center Field....Not happy with this
- Please stop with the Bill Self talk at least until there's a formal offer...or something to report...
- Mario Manningham (the guy who's the reason why I care) and Aqib Talib reportedly admit to Marijuana use at the combine....Super Mario was an off-the-field nightmare at Michigan so no surprise here...but I've heard/seen multiple people say he's the most gifted WR in the draft in terms of route-running, deep threat, etc. so somebody will be taking a boom-or-bust flyer here...
- Meant to mention this earlier...If the Yankees move A-Rod to SS...and Jeter gets back....Jeter's gotta be put back there....yes, 2B is probably where he should play...but you have Cano who is a top 8 2B right now and still very young....No discussion here
- Last thing...I don't wanna get into the political aspects of it...but there should be no extinguishing of the Olympic torch..that's crazy....for the record, I'd cancel the outside-of-China legs of the Torch Relay and get it poppin' in China where they should be less resistance
More later...and a shameful plug for indiesports.blogspot.com....Some very good NBA insight on the award discussions (I'll post my own in between the end of the Regular Season and the Playoffs)...enjoy
