bench chris paul

-
chris paul has been out for three games already after going down with that groin strain...and it looks like he won't be back until after the all-star weekend. no word yet on whether chris paul will be back by monday against the grizzlies. and that makes me think that chris paul might not even play a game this week.

for people who play fantasy basketball (at least those with paul on their team), i think setting the lineup for week 16 is kind of a big problem. i own chris paul in our league and it's proving to be quite a task to set the lineup. do i start him and risk having a zero for a week? or do i start someone over him which could at best score only 30 fantasy points?

the deadline for setting the lineup is getting nearer so i have to make a decision. i'm benching chris paul. :( good thing i got ramon sessions on the bench (yeah, the guy who just dropped 44 on the pistons)

the way i see it, byron scott would not force chris paul to suit up if cp3 is not yet healed a hundred percent. the hornets need chris paul and the last thing they want is to aggravate cp3's injury. byron scott and the hornets may even go as far as asking chris paul to not play too hard come the all-star game. on the other hand, they would be facing the celtics on wednesday and cp3 might want to suit up for that challenge.

although chris paul said he will play in the all-star game, his first time as a starter, i think he knew what is at stake. he can use the time off to give his injury to really heal and start the second half of the season on fresh legs.

who's got the baddest f1 helmet?

the cars are not the the only sleek things in formula 1. there are kick-ass helmets too. anyone familiar with f1 knows that each driver has his own helmet. so, i did a bit of snooping around to bring you these f1 helmets. giancarlo fischella will be suiting up again for force india this season and he'll be wearing this helmet for the 2009 season. not too shabby but not too great either. adrian sutil, fisichella's force india teammate will be rocking this helmet this year. better than fisichella's in my opinion. back with renault for the second year after his one-year stint with mclaren-mercedes, fernando alonso has this for this year. looks good but i think i will go with sutil's still. heikki kovalainen would be looking to improve his last year's performance this season. hopefully, the helmet will not be the only thing he's changed for the better. it's tough but my mclaren bias means i'm picking this helmet over sutil's. jarno trulli, still w

tim duncan sinks rare three to force 2OT : san antonio spurs beat phoenix suns

tim duncan is not known for his outside shooting. well, he can shoot it with the best of them in the preimeter but this guy has never taken a lot of threes in his career. he doesn't need to since he's got a great inside game. but when the san antonio spurs needed a three, tim duncan proved that he is indeed clutch as he sank a three with seconds left to force a second overtime. the spurs would go on to beat the phoenix suns 117-115. tim duncan finished with 40 points, eclipsing lebron james' 32-point outing as well as chris paul's 35 points for the hornets . the big man also grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. tony parker scored 26 and manu ginobili scored 24 off the bench. michael finley added 13 for the spurs. the game would have gone to a third overtime if not for ginobili who, with 15 seconds drive to the basket and made a layup. amare stoudemire led the suns with 33 points but fouled out in the first overtime period. shaq was in foul troubl

keys on the ignition: first post

first post.yey! i love sports although i get the feeling that the feeling ain't mutual. but that won't stop me from ranting about this and that sport. i particularly like formula one and nascar, now, i am not giving one or the other preferential treatment. but to tell the truth, i have been a longer f1 fan than nascar. apart from these motorsports, i also like superbike and motogp, again, no preferential treatment although that may change if biaggi crosses the fence or rossi for that matter. i also love basketball though am too short for the game, i think. i got this fantasy team at cbssports and i think the team's doing well, three wins and a loss is good enough for this guy. i also started watching the nfl especially now that it is close to superbowl season. although i am still in the process of getting to know more about the sport, i am aware that the new england patriots are favored. good times in boston huh? and since i have mentioned boston, we cannot leave o
