Sometimes after spending some time away from the blogosphere I notice a ton of new posts and whatnot to talk about. Then I get overwhelmed and forget everything I was gonna say. For that, god invented fanposts so instead of bouncing from thread to thread I can say everything here. Holla.
Spurs All-Star breakdown
35-16
First in the Southwest
Second in the West
Fourth in the among the whole league.
We are ahead of last year's record by one game. 34-17 in 2008.
NBA news
Heat trade Chump 1 to Raptors for Chump 2
Its one of those trades where neither team gets really better. Not even close to a shake up considering both of the main guys in the trade are shells of their former selves. Somehow the Heat managed to turn one O'Neal's monster contract into another's.
Mike Brown is upset. Thinks league is out to get LeBron
Cavs coach Mike Brown thinks he must lobby for LeBron James to receive more superstar calls. Crab Dribble.
Baylor won the NBA's Executive of the Year Award in 2006. A much deserved award as the Clippers went 616-2207 (.316) in his 22 years of service. RC Buford has never won Executive of the Year.
John Paxson maybe leaves the Bulls, maybe stays tries to be as sucessful as Elgin Baylor?
Shortly after that, the Bulls released a statement from owner Jerry Reinsdorf that said: "Pete Vecsey is not a credible enough source to comment on. Two weeks ago he had John being fired. Now he has him resigning."
Myth busted?
Robinson among Hall of Fame finalists
Biggest news thus far. Having retired in 2003 the Admiral has his first shot at getting to the Hall of Fame. Some other guys by the name of Jordan and Stockton are getting attention too. But anyway congratulations to Big Dave. Its gonna look good seeing "Hall of Fame" under his jersey in the rafters.
***********
Tonight is the Rookie/Sophomore contest. George Hill is not participating. Boo. Kevin Durant is. Yay! This could be the best chance the rookie class has at beating the sophomore. It hasn't happened since 2002. Oh the anticipation.

Because Bronson Pinchot is nowhere to be found, Manu, dressed as Balki, tells Mike Brown, “Of course it was a foul, don’t be ridiculous!”
I can understand coaches calling out bad calls but when your player commits the exact same foul as which was called on the other side in the previous and identical play? Thats just ridiculous. On what ground can he even begin to make an argument? Pick your battles coach brown, please. And was he mad because it cost them a game a against an inferior team? Pop would just silently stare down the spurs and let them stew in their shitty game performance rather than spoil them and defend them against a league out to get them. What ridiculousness!
I want to bronze the Admiral’s sinewy arms and put up a blownup statue of them outside the att center.

"the kind of guy who"
Wow – now I think I understand why you wind up in feuds with so many people.
Did you mean to begin with “Awesome” and then proceed to give a left-handed compliment that disses at least half of SBNation, or are you inadvertently busting on everyone with a sig?

your initial rec was genuine and truly felt
your unreccing was simply an expression of your bitterness, and obviously done for revenge while in a blind and selfish rage
once you’ve calmed down, you’ll see that love is better than hate — building up is better than tearing down and leaving recs is better than taking them back

You guys are so defensive. I would probably be quick to defend too if I was a “Star —insert series here —” fan too. No, I meant nothing negative, I just literally meant that I’m not normally one that has a sig and it was worded poorly. That, or maybe you’re just assuming that I’m antagonizing. And of course I don’t do that.

Dennard… I was replying in your post, and you deleted it. Had to retype everything… I think you intimidated him, r21x. :)
Hmm. All I know is that this trade season is proving to be interesting, and next season’s should be incredible.
Pat Riley has been crazy for a while, but at least I think this is a good trade for the Heat. JON will help that team more than Marion did. I’m not so sure about the Raptors, though… What will be their frontcourt now? Bosh and Bargnani? There be dragons that way. Also, Moon was a complete steal with his salary – but it had only one more year left.
Mike Brown is an idiot. LeBron likes to play with rosin powder. Paxson made mistakes, but won’t ever be fired – he might resign, though. Buforn’s greatness will be recognized eventually. Hill not being in the rookie subs is understandable, but still a travesty. Robinson yay.
Phew.

Hil’s snub annoys me because if he were drafted last year or maybe even next year, he would have made it. And he probably would’ve made it on a All-Rookie team too. He just happened to be in the same class where four of the best five players are all guards. (Rose, Mayo, Gordon, Westbrook)

I removed it because I realized I had rushed through my post and was going to do another this weekend. Good stuff r21x. I don’t understand the O’Neal trade for Miami. They obliterated any cap space they may have had for next season. I wanna see what Phoenix does now.

My guess? Shaq + Wade meant a championship. Riley wants to try JON + Wade.

I’m sure that’s what he’s thinking, but JON isn’t an elite player anymore and if that is his reasoning then he’s crazier than I think he is. That 2005-2006 Heat team wasn’t great shakes and I think they would struggle to get past the 2nd round in this years playoffs with that team.

That’s true. Just for the record, though, Shaq was already fat and useful only in spurts back then.

The one thing Snaq was good for that year was standing in the lane (without getting 3 second violations) and waiting for Wade to drive past his man and toss up a little alley-oop that he could slam.

I started that argument, BTW, defending fellow Longhorn Kevin Durant against your libelous attacks. His numbers are insane across the board (points, rebs, fg %, 3 pt %, etc), then you consider he’s only TWENTY years old. I think in five years (when Timmy retires) the league will boil down to Durant vs. Lebron, an updated version of Bird vs. Magic.
