The NBA...."Go There!" -- Opening Weekend
Savings our loose change in the Apartment404 penny jar for this completely bitchin' swatch of a jersey on a 3.5 by 5 inch piece of plastic. $500? Screw the child support payments!
=================================
-- Rudy Gay's gonna be a star....or not
First three games:
-- 1) 4-11 shooting, 10 points, 9 rebounds
-- 2) 0-4 from the field, 2 points, no rebounds
-- 3) 8-21 shooting, 21 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks.
-- Total assists for first week = 0
---------------------------------------------
-- Houston Rockets record is 1-2
Give. Yao. The. Damn. Ball.
-- Yao Ming's field goal percentage = 67%
-- T-Mac's = 34%
---------------------------------------------
-- Wizards 124 - C's 117
Bassy = 34 minutes, 24 points on 8-12 from the floor, 4-4 from the line, 4 rebounds, 6 assists. Hooray!
Arenas = 40 minutes, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 44 points on 14-25 shooting and 11-12 on free throws. Holy shit!
....Where's Rondo?......
---------------------------------------------
-- Return of the King
Lakers start the year 3-0. Lamar Odom's numbers for the winning streak: 34 points and 13 rebounds, 22 and 13, 28 and 8.
#24 returns to lineup in game #3, a W over Seattle.
Game #4: Lakers lose to Sonics, 117-101. The King plays 39 minutes. Odom falls to 11 points. Ray Allen goes off for 32 points.
Who is he kidding wearing number 24?
---------------------------------------------
-- A good young team in Charlotte. Just remember to pass first, shoot second, Raymond
Bernie Bickerstaff has done a very nice job collecting young talent in the first seasons of BOB Johnson's BOBcats (ha ha...he kills me..). Great win over the Cavs this weekend.
Averages thus far (despite a 1-2 record) --
Emeka Okafor = 13 pts, 8 rebounds, 4.3 blocks
Sean May = 11 pts, 8 boards
Gerald Wallace = 9 points
Adam Morrison = 16 points per
Felton = 14 points and 5 assists
--------------------------------------------
-- Our Rookie of the Year Pick?
"What's the matter with you people... I was joking!! HA-HA-HA! Joking!"
The Timberwolves are 2-1. Nice start. And they have a rookie who is pretty much tearing it up in limited minutes. Just as predicted.
Randy Foye = in an average of 7 minutes per game he has yet to score. Less Dennis Hopson. More Mitch Richmond, please.
BC's own Craig Smith = 11 points per.
--------------------------------------------
-- Isiah!
Starbury is shooting 29% and has an awful assist/turnover ratio. The team's only win was in triple overtime. Expected team savior Renaldo Balkman has played a total of 16 minutes and has 4 points and 7 rebounds, but with a lot of hustle.
Good luck Cooz and Clyde.
--------------------------------------------
-- ROY candidate Brandon Roy of the Blazers off to a very good start
Averages of 18 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. He's only shooting 38%, but if that goes up he will be the team's best player by the end of the month.
--------------------------------------------
-- Special Bonus Rip Job
The 9th pick in the draft, Golden State's seven foot Patrick O'Bryant, is averaging 10 minutes, 1 point, 1 rebound and 1 block thus far. Man, Chris Mullin has a tough job, but that looks like a miss. Though looking at the picks that immediately followed in last spring's draft, well, he could have done worse. Or he could have picked Marcus Williams or Rajon Rondo, been laughed at, and come out of it smelling like a rose.
Sonics - Saer Sene, Forward
Magic - J.J. Redick, Guard
Hornets - Hilton Armstrong, Center
Bulls - Thabo Sefolosha, Guard - Though he looks like a player
Jazz - Ronnie Brewer, Guard - Ditto
Hornets - Cedric Simmons, Forward
Philly - Rodney Carney, Forward
Pacers - Shawne Williams, Forward
Wizards - Oleksiy Pecherov, Center
Kings - Quincy Douby, Guard
New York Knicks - Renaldo Balkman, Forward and All-Intangibles Team Member
----------------------------------------------
Also...
Hank Szabo, Shawn Kemp and Sammy Sosa would all like to return to the good life of pro sports; per diems, girls with "long legs and brains", plush hotels, big money, and you don't even have to carry your own suitcase.
Though in Hank's case, those memories were kinda made up.
Chances of any of the three returning to that life = Highly unlikely.
