there are 30 teams in the nba today, how many of these are actually vying for a playoff spot? i count nine teams in the west. in the east, after the top four or five, every team has a chance to get to the playoffs except washington. but in reality, only three teams in the east are considered to be major contenders for the championship. where are the rest? well, they are either hampered by injuries, rebuilding, or just plain crappy. while injuries could really hurt a team's chance to make a splash in the race for the championship, i don't think there should be any crappy team at all in the nba. therefore, there is no need for the so-called "rebuilding" program. no more waiting for two years just to have a chance to land a superstar. why do teams stink in the first place? is it because they are not talented enough? look at washington, i know you would agree that caron butler and antawn jamison are talented enough. i think even deshawn stevenson can ball, after a...

after snagging rodney stuckey, monta ellis and carlos boozer from the waiver wire, i thought i earned myself a trip to the playoffs. lo and behold, i'm still on the outside looking in. there are several things which add up to dash my hope for another run at a fantasy basketball championship this season. 1. chris paul's injury- i couldn't believe i benched chris paul for a week. well, not technically a week as it was the time before the all-star break. his production was sorely missed. i'm sure a lot of chris paul owners also had this problem. 2. letting wilson chandler go- a slump in one week made me prematurely decide that it was safe to dump chandler. after that, he got snagged immediately and he got back to his usual productive self. grrr. 3. jose calderon's hammy problems- without those frustrating hamstring problems to calderon, i think my team would have won more earlier in the season. to think i got him with my second pick. i'm a noob! 4. ...

i've been hearing this for the last couple of months and i can say that i'm sick of it. so, why post this here? well, it looks like finally, the knicks could get rid of stephon. i'm not hating on stephon. i like his game. but i'm with q that you don't leave your guys on the court just because you have a beef with your boss. any person who has fought in wars would probably not leave his or her companions in the heat of the battle even if he has a major spat with his commanding officer. i remember achilles "sitting out" some of the "games" against the trojans because of his quarrel with that agamemnon dude. but stephon, you're no achilles. well, you could be, achilles after being brought down by an arrow to the heel that is. anyway, frank isola of knicks knation says that marbury could be gone after today (february 24). if this happens, the knicks would have three available roster spots right? and it looks like they might take a chance...

for giving ramon sessions a lot of playing time last time up against the nuggets. i was thinking that you would again let sessions rot in your doghouse after starting him against the cavs yet only letting him play 22 minutes while luke ridnour played 33 minutes. i know sessions played poorly against the bulls but hey, even lebron or kobe has an off-night. also i know you are aware of what sessions is capable of doing. weren't you at that game against the pistons when he scored 44 points. also, i knew you were aware that sessions had 24 assists against the bulls last year. did you not notice that you have been winning ever since sessions started playing point guard? maybe, just maybe, you could make a solid campaign to make the playoffs if you continue sessions and give him starter minutes. i hate to see the bucks not making the playoffs this year...again especially after seeing how hard sessions and villanueva have been playing as of late.

tomorrow, february 22, 2009, me and my comrades will go to war. not an actual war actually but the bi-annual north versus south airsoft "game". so here i am hyped up about the game and it looks like i'm gonna make a post about my teammates as i have nothing to do..yet. i don't even know if i can find photos of my teammates but i'll give it a try. here we go... this is team s.a.r.s. (sunrise airsoft renegade squad): uncle is everyone's uncle on the team. he's our general for the north versus south game so we'll protect him with everything we've got. uncle is the unquestioned leader of the group. always ready to lend a gun or ammo. jude law a.k.a. maskiano. this guy's our gunsmith. he knows almost everything there is to know about airsoft guns. you want to upgrade or fix your gun? just drop him a line. by the way jude, would it be wise if i sell my thompson m1a1 then buy a famas f1? :D that red markings? lol.. i don't know how to us...

jameer nelson is out for the season so the orlando magic will need someone to steer the team. tyronn lue joined the team early this month and now it looks like rafer alston will be taking over the starting point guard position for the magic. espn reported that a three-team deal would ship kyle lowry from the grizzlies to the rockets. the rockets would ship alston to orlando. and the magic will send brian cook to the rockets as well as a first rounder to the grizzlies. i think the magic are still looking good with this addition.
