Todays NBA Thoughts

Here's something thats annoying about this particular blogging site, I wrote a big long thing went to publish it and then it went cant publish it and I lost it all, I'm not annoyed or bitter or anything. Anyway lets give a summary of what I was going for.

1) For some reason I really just havent gotten into this nba playoffs, whether it be the overly late games, the fact the Celtics are done, 24 is on and if I miss that Jack Bauer may kill me etc... And this is the best round the NBA has to offer this season.

2) I know I chirp on this a lot but would it have been that difficult for the NBA to push the Suns game up an hour last night. I'd imagine there east coast ratings with no prior game to hold viewers were terrible. I decided to go to bed after the 3rd assuming the Clips would win and I woke up and I was right, so i guess i didnt miss much.

3) Can the NBA please incorporate no contact into their name. That punch was so weak for Terry and did not deserve a suspension. Stop going by the book. If you can give more than one game for an action such as a punch you can give less. Period.

4) If the Cavs win is it more of an upset than George Mason beating Uconn? I think so. Not the upset of George Mason eventually getting to the final four but just the game versus the series. I thought the Cavs would get one game but I gave them no chance to get more than that. I'm shocked they at minumum forced a game 7 nevermind if they win the series.

5) If the Suns make the conference finals, are they the most flawed team to get that far in recent memory? They have no post offense, no post defense, poor rebounding and poor team defense. They can not come close to even containing Elton Brand nevermind stopping him. I do not understand why he does not get the ball in the post every possession, Tim Thomas is helpless down there.

6) Remember all the talk earlier this season about how the Pistons could go down as one of the best teams ever and that they might win over 70 games. Yeah that didnt happen and even if they win the title, they are not one of the all time greats. Sorry.

7) Tonight do you think Pat Riley will be wearing a Cleveland Sweater and one of those giant foam #1 Cavs Fingers? And for that matter you think he's hoping the Mavs win?

8) Mad Dog brought up a good point yesterday, put a gun to Davidson and Dumars head and who do they choose Larry Brown or Flip Saunders. Their going with Brown.

9) Lebron James is Bigger Stronger Faster. He is unreal. It has to be cool to be him on a basketball court.

10) How sick was Duncan's first half the other night? 11 for 11 28 points. I'm going to have to emulate that on sunday during our pick up game.

11) Tonights Predictions. I fully expect the Pistons and Spurs to win. I think the Terry loss is more significant then people think and Harris will now become less effective. And I just need to see the Cavs do it before I believe. Sorry. Im rooting for the Cavs and Mavs just don't think its going to happen tonight.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
