In yesterday's NBA Draft lottery,the new Russian owner of theNets, Mikhall Prokhorov, saw his Comrades chances in landingJohn Wall bounce off the back rim, like a couple of Vince Carterpressure free throws. Thus the Nets must choose a consolation prize that will ease the collective psyche of their organizational Brain trust. In the end, another suitor for Lebron James falls to the wayside….and Knickerbocker Nation maintains hope. 46 days and counting….the Knicks remain on the clock…tic..tic….tic
Good
Congratulations to the Washington Wizards in landing the first round draft pick…which is John Wall of the Kentucky Wildcats. And after last season's stench left behind by Gilbert Arenas and the fire arms nonsense….it's great that the Wizards will be able to reload with new talent. ( I couldn't resist)
After witnessing the Orlando Magic's disappearing act and thePhoenix sinking Suns performances the other night, it's a foregone conclusion that the Celtics and Lakers will be meeting in the NBA Finals, minus the Nike Puppets and King Shame. These are the two most successful franchises in NBA History…not a bad option for NBA Commissioner, David Stern and ABC.
Chad Ocho Cinco, was voted off Dancing with the Stars….He can always dance in the end zone…but ya gotta score Touchdowns! Here's a suggestion… ABC should contact the Original Dancing Clown in Cleats.. …former New York Jets sack master Mark Gastineau….. BTW its been reported that….Vanessa Williams, former wife of LA Laker Rick Fox, will be heading to Wisteria lane, home to ABC's "Desperate Housewives"….Hey its my blog…I can go there.
The things that make you happy….also make you Sad!
On Monday night, New York Yankee Marcus Thames wins the game with a walk-off home run vs the Bosox. On Tuesday…. he dropped a fly ball that lead to go ahead run for Bosox…asYankees loose the game.
BAD
OK, every two years New York Yankee, Mariano Rivera is allowed to blow a save…..Joe Girardi…why are you protesting last night's game? There's no Whining in Baseball .
Isaiah Zeke Thomas….the gift that keeps giving and giving and giving….The Magic and Celtics are now on spring break…. after last night's game….. they will go on vacation….and resume play on Saturday.
Brett Farce of the Minnesota Vikings goes through his annual "I don't know " if I am going to play routine. This years excuse…."I may need surgery on my ankle"….we'll check in on this in August. That's when he will discover that he's OK, and will not need surgery, just before training camp concludes.
The Ugly
Hanley Ramirez, shortstop of the Florida Marlins, benched for his non-hustle on Monday night….and being another professional Athelete not knowing what to say when a microphone is by his mouth. Hey Hanley, as an FYI…most of the great coaches in all sports never excelled on the field…but trust and believe they all understand what goes on between the lines….Knock it off!
Vince Carter, the fun loving dunking extraordinaire, for a five year period was one of the most exciting players in the NBA, but never known for being clutch…… his two missed free throws last night, during money time…. affirms his legend.
Meet the MESS….Beat the MESS….Step right up and Bleep at The MESS!
My METS are free falling into the abyss…..Everything is Wrong….with David Wright….as I stated in April…that beaning from last season has impacted his game. No pitching and no hitting…is a recipe for disaster…. Mets General Manager, Omar Miniya signed the inept Oliver Perez…to a 12m per year contract last season….the worst signing in Mets History. A great NY Football Coach said, (and it was not Rex Ryan), that you are only as good as your record.
