The Race for Second

Well Second to last that is. The Grizz have the worst record in the NBA pretty much locked up so now it comes down to who wants #2. Whats more interesting to you, whether or not the horrible Knicks or Pacers can move into the last spot in the East or how these teams that have everything to win by losing will strategize down the stretch.

Current Standings

Celtics: 23-50, leading the pack
Bucks: 25-47, 2 1/2 back
Atlanta: 27-47, 3 1/2 back but 4 in the win column
Charlotte: 28-46, 4 1/2 back but 5 in the win column

The 76ers and Trailblazers are 29-44 6 games ahead of the Celtics meaning they would have to lose pretty much the remainder of their games and hope that the Celtics 6-3 or better down the stretch, and everyone else wins games aka they got pretty much no shot.

Remaining Schedules

Celtics: @MIL, MIA, @IND, @ATL, PHI, MIL, @ORL, @MIA, DET
Bucks: NO/OK, BOS, @ATL, NY, ORL, IND, @BOS, CHA, ATL, @CLE
Atlanta: @NJ, MIL, @PHI, BOS, WAS, @CLE, @MIL, IND
Charlotte: WAS, @WAS, IND, @MIA, MIA, @CHI, @MIL, NY

Breakin it Down

The Celtics had this in their hands but have continued to win ball games since Pierce came back. Thus they need to take Pierce out during clutch time. They have even been winning close games against playoff teams, the Cavs and the Magic. The Bucks and Hawks on the other end have both lost 6 in a row. The Hawks might sideline Joe Johnson for the remainder of the season, to 'not damage him further'. I find it classic how between these 4 teams they have 5 games in the last two weeks against each other and the two biggest competitors have 2 against each other.

Personally I think the Bucks get it done and the Celtics slide between them and the Hawks, why because the Celtics under Doc and Danny can't do anything right. They will most likely defeat the Bucks this week and next week and catapult the horrid Bucks into the 2 hole.

You can be excited down the stretch for games with the Pacers to sneak into the playoffs only to get dumped by the Pistons in round one, me I'd rather watch these teams fight for the best chance of getting Durant and Oden.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
