Bolts over Colts, NBA all-star voting, and more

2 very good games yesterday....but the better of the 2 was the late game....Alot of focus will be on the 2 late penalty calls against Indy (both correct calls btw, but the holding could've been let go)...but I prefer to focus on Darren Sproles being thoroughly un-tackleable (I made that word up just now) and Philip Rivers being outstanding all year even without the benefit of a single above-average wide-out.....For the colts...they were exposed on defense and while Peyton Manning was still Peyton Manning, he wasn't as good as he has been in previous games so the stars aligned for San Diego....and that's a dangerous football team.....are you telling me they couldn't go into Pittsburgh and win? This is the NFL lol

To other stuff....

• Kevin Martin had 45 for the Kings last night....OFF THE BENCH....granted, he played 37 minutes....but welcome back sir....welcome back
• and Oh yeah.....the Kings lost.....b/c Danny Granger took over the game with 35 of his own and looks like a legit superstar.....shame he's buried on a bad Pacer team
• Josh Smith's line from the Hawks win last night against Houston....29 points....2 rebounds....1 assist......huh? 2 boards? 1 dime? Yea, 29 looks good....but there is no more maddening player in the Association than Smith....and I stand by that
• A Kevin Love Appearance!! My semi-mancrush rears his head with an 18 and 12 last night (in just 22 minutes no less)....it's about time sir....

NBA All-star Voting.....we all know it's sort of a sham how they put this together....but here are a few RIDICULOUS outcomes thus far....

• Yi Jianlian is THIRD among East forwards....he isn't in the top 5 players on his own team.....
• Wanna know what Gilbert Arenas (who hasn't played in a game this year), Luke Ridnour (huh?), and Jameer Nelson have in common?....They all have more all-star votes than the 3rd best 2-guard in the NBA in Joe Johnson.....sigh....
• Bruce Bowen is 7th among West Forwards....huh? He is a shell of his former defensive stopper-self.....and even then, he shouldn't have near the all-star team....
• Tracy McGrady is currently starting ahead of a transcendent PG in Chris Paul....please put this madness to bed.....Chris Paul is a top 5 player in this league...Tracy McGrady....isn't in the top 20 anymore....
• Shane Battier and Luis Scola are both on the leaderboard for West forwards.....do people in Houston just sit around and stuff ballot boxes all day and night?

Okay....had to shed some light on some of those farces...lol...enjoy the NFL sunday
