Kobe Doin' Work


This is the title of the ESPN/Spike Lee Documentary that premieres on espn next Saturday. Looks really cool. They spend an entire day following him. Use 30 cameras, and have him wearing mic. From the clip i saw, it looked pretty insightful.

RIP Daddy Rich


I not going to wax poetic or anything like that, Though I'll admit i am tempted to talk about my childhood. Haha. But, it would be wrong to not at least post a picture of the great Chuck Daly.

I will say a couple general things i guess. It feels almost like the founder of a religion has died. Cause that is about the impact he has had for the civil religion of Detriot and for fans. Detroit pistons were a historically crappy club with a couple great past players as the only good in their historty. Chuck took on the mentality that all championships will be won by boston or LA until the end of time- and chainged the pistons to do so. He set the foundation for a basketball philosophy that still exists in detroit. The rules have changed much of play, but you can still see his handprints on the piston's style today. Well, not this season;)

Fisher Suspended?

Ok, here's the question again. Should Fisher be suspended? To me, this was a more malicious hit than Dwight's, but it didn't hit the head. To me, if they suspended Howard, they should suspend Fish.

Anyways, its not like Fisher is gonna make or break a game.

Also, I don't think Kobe should be fined or anything for that elbow...but how the fuck was that a foul on Artest?

At any rate, I have changed my stance on this series after game 2. I now think Houston has a real shot at this series. They've shown more resilience than I thought they had in them. What'd yall think?

Den-Dal

"dullstone said... Hmmm, so you think Dallas would take Denver in 6? I think den would kinda dominate that series."

Booyah! Heheh. Of course, i could still end up being wrong. But, that is all the more reason for me to rub it in now, in case this is my last chance.
----------

Here is what i want to know about Dirk. How does someone that is 7' only weigh 85 pounds? Every time someone fouls him, he just goes flying, like he's made of rubber. There are many admirable traits about Dirk. Yet, there are just a few traits that make him always bug me and make me always root against him. I can't help it.

Game three is on saturday! What the heck it that? That isn't normal is it? 4 days until they play again?

-----------

I know this will sound like craziness, but i am actually starting to see denver as competition LA. They jsut look so good right now. Their offense has been effortless. And, their defense looks sharp. Even in the second period on gmae two. Denver was using very poor judgement on offense, and dallas was playing well. Yet, denver was still leading the whole period.

I know LA's defense is a whole different thing compared to dallas or NOH. But still, i can hope, right?

Before, i would have said it was impossible for denver to beat LA. Now, i am down grading that to just surprising.

Orl-Bos

I'm glad the visiting teams are winning. should make the playoffs more interesting.

Rondo seemed pretty much invisible this game, i thought. He usually starts off every game repeatedly getting in the paint and having 10 points b4 the period is out. I don't remember him getting to the rim in the halfcourt once. I guess that is probably mostly because of Howard.

We been talking a bit about how much we hate certain boston players. so i thoguht i mention the ones i like. I guess they are all bigs.

I was pretty impressed with what Big Baby was able to do under the hoop last year in the playoffs. But this year he didnt' just add a 18-19 jumpshot; he added a 18-19 foot jumpshot that is money. I guess i like undersized bigs that can outperform their conterparts. First Maxiell, then Millsap, now Big Baby (though Millsap is the best;D).

K Perkins. I think if Greg Oden weren't in the league people would make fun of how old KP looks. I thoguht he was an old vet. Though that is, perhaps, because he has some old school post moves that look like they are from a slightly older era.

Powe. I like Powe too. A man of tremendous character who had rather rediculous adversity growing up. He is not playing though; so nuts to him.

Rockets Vs Lakers

Ok, so the Lakers couldn't have played much worse, but the Rockets have still stolen home court. I'm not dilusional enough yet to think the Rockets can win this series. Lemme see how they do in game 2, and I'll give you a better opinion.

However, this begs the question:

If the Rockets beat the Lakers, are they the new favorites to win the title?
