- Stephon Marbury was finally (and mercifully) granted his release through a buyout with the Knicks....he got paid at least (reportedly) $17 million to sit there so far this year....with that said, it is looking as though he'll sign with Boston to come off their bench....I initially don't like the move....their 2 backup guards will now be Eddie House and Stephon Marbury....both are shoot-first....both are short....and with Tony Allen (as bad as he may be) being injured, they have no one off the bench to guard on the wing....and that doesn't even get into Steph's alpha-dog syndrome and whether he can put it on the backburner enough to help the Celtics in a supporting role.....Should be good theater at least...
- Marvin Harrison granted his release....meh....I'm underwhelmed by his game at this point in his career...he's at best a #2 anywhere and is really the 3rd best WR on the market (behind TJ and Boldin).....Could Philly use him? Absolutely....but only if it's at a price that they can dictate....he's not deserving of #1 money anymore
- Pitt goes down.....ANOTHER #1 ranked College Basketball team goes down....this time it's Pitt to Providence....There should be little to no shock here....the Friars are a decent team and no one can seem to stay number one.....now we'll hear the week-long argument that is both meaningless and pre-mature about who will be #1 on Monday...does it matter at all? I say no...
- The World Baseball Classic is just over a week away.....are you interested? I'm not.....Can anyone tell me why I should be?
- Tiger Tiger Tiger Woods ya'll......The king of golf is back today....undoubtedly to smash an unsuspecting Australian in the 1st round of the WGC match play event....I'm gonna say he wins it and by it I mean the entire tournament....I know that isn't a limb....but it would be still be mighty impressive even for Eldrick
- No Tim Duncan....No Manu Ginobili.....doesn't matter.....the Spurs absolutely manhandled Dallas last night led by Tony Parker's taking-apart of over-matched Jason kidd to the tune of 37 points and 12 dimes....and people don't talk about the Spurs....they match up extremely well with LA too....just saying
- Dwyane Wade with the line of the night last night....32 points....16...yes 16....dimes....and 7 rebounds in a thrashing of Detroit....he's the one guy that can't seem to get any MVP buzz...but he's absolutely carried that roster all year (as predicted by me preseason for the record.....check the archives lol), and deserves it...where would they be without him?
- Is the new-look Chicago Bulls team for real? 3-1 since the deadline with wins over Denver and Orlando...and they've looked good doing it....and now they're only a game back of Milwaukee for the final playoff spot...and if you think the Bucks are holding onto that without Bogut and Redd...you've lost all parts of your mind....
That'll do it for now...
