Some ramblings from the world of non-football....

Yes, the NBA season is in full swing....I'm not discussing it at length yet, but I'm definitely watching....Trying to incorporate it while still touching on football in my limited time.....here we go
  • Somehow I lead with hockey.....Barry Melrose gets fired....Barry is the famous (and formerly ONLY) hockey analyst for ESPN....that left to get fired in 16 games....sorry Barry...sportscenter needs you though lol
  • The Rockets-Suns "fight" from the other night (Charles Barkley said it best when he said this was a "scuffle" since no one actually threw or landed a punch and the thing ended when Shaq stepped in)....results in 3 suspensions...Matt Barnes and Skip Alston for 2 games....and Steven Q Nash for one.....Seems...right? Although I'm not sure what any of them did that was worse than T-Mac or Shaq? Eh....
  • Lebron is ridiculous....he's topped 40 in 3 of his last 5....he's averaging 29, 8, and 7 and he's not even shooting the ball well...BUT props to him for realizing he should cut down on his 3 attempts (only taken 30 all year) because he's shooting 20% and he finally shows the understanding that he can get to the rim at will, so why stand out there and brick jumpers?
  • As I write this....Indiana is up 22-2 on Philly....yes, 22-2....Just thought I'd tell you
  • And to my beloved Hawks....I haven't been this excited in years.....yes, years....If Paul Pierce didn't dagger my heart, the Hawks would stand at 7-0....as it stands, 6-1 and tied for the #1 seed (laughter, 7 games in and I'm seeding people).....and most of this has gone down without Josh Smith....Do I think this is sustainable? No.....Do I think we could be battling for the 4 or 5 seeds in an Eastern conference with only 2 title contenders (Boston and Cleveland)? Yes...
  • Danny Granger is so nice......Learn his name....learn his game....
  • Dwight Howard is pushing for that Mega-super-duper-star label.....24 and 15 for the year so far...oh yea....and 4.4 blocks...if he defends and intimidates like he's been doing....wow....
  • Memo to Nellie: Andris Biedrins is killing people....14.8 boards? Please play this guy 35 minutes a night....He's all you have
  • How bout the Knicks sneaking around? The mix D'Antoni is playing seems to be working....Randolph is delivering his 19 and 10...Eddy Curry's buried...and Wilson Chandler is the homeless man's Shawn Marion....if they can get reasonable production out of the guard trio of Crawford-Robinson-Duhon....they'll be a .500 team...and that's a huge step up
  • Ah...I should've seen the post-contract Baron Davis season coming.....The Clips are 1-7 and BD is averaging 15 and 7....At least Al Thornton is playing well.....
  • The Team Kevin Durant Plays For.....is the worst in the league...thought you should know....somebody help him!
  • Wait....Washington may be as bad....::pats self on back::

and...this....The NBA is FANNNN-TASTIC! I love this game!
