Feliz Navidad, assholes!!!
I hope everybody is bundled up and has submitted their wish-lists to Santa…and for those of you who were hoping to get a video of Gheorghe Muresan dancing in your stocking, Santa came a little early…

So looking at the Pacers a little closer, I don’t think they’re as bad as their record suggests. Even though they’re sitting at 10-17, they’ve beaten quality teams like Denver, New Orleans, The Lakers, Dallas, Portland, Utah and Orlando so it losses to teams like Charlotte, Washington, OKC, and the T-Wolves that is hurting them. How you beat the top 3 teams in the West and lose to the bottom 3 teams in the East is a mystery to me.
I think once TJ Ford gets a little more comfortable running things in Indy, they’ve got some horses like Troy Murphy (a legit double-double guy) and Danny Granger (still among the league’s top scorers) to maybe make a late surge for the playoffs.
I think the only piece they’re missing is Rik “The Dunkin’ Dutchmen” Smits.
Speaking of Smits, he’s now a professional moto-cross racer. Sponsored and everything. Ummm, what?
Nene’s poster on Yao was nasty but did any of you see The Glove’s and C-Webb’s reaction from the NBA TV studio? I can’t find the clip anywhere but after the dunk, C-Webb proceeded to say “Get up Nene!!!” for the rest of the highlights no matter what clip they were showing. C-Webb and The Glove are kind of an acquired taste when it comes to TV analysts but if you’ve never seen them, here’s what you can expect if you ever tune-in…
In Jason Kidd’s return to the swamps of Jersey, Devin Harris and the Nets easily took care of the Mavs by handing them a 20-piecing. Harris was ballin’ with a chip on his shoulder and clearly had something to prove to his former team as he dropped 41 points and added 13 dimes. When Harris left the game for good with a couple minutes left in the 4th, the Nets’ faithful were chanting “Thank You Cuban!” as Mavs owner Mark Cuban sat dejected on the sidelines.
The Warriors’ Monta Ellis is another step closer to returning to the hardwood as his 30-game suspension officially ended after Wednesday’s game against the Pacers. For those of you not-in-the-know, Ellis signed a 6-year $66 million dollar contract with the Warriors over the summer and then violated the contract by getting injured in a moped accident shortly after. Idiot. He originally misled the Warriors stating that he injured the leg in a pickup game, but team doctors quickly called him on it and said there was no way an injury like that could be sustained playing ball. The Warriors had toyed with the idea of terminating the contract because they didn’t wanna pay such a hefty tab for damaged goods, but I think the relationship between Ellis and the organization is slowly mending. There’s still no set date for Ellis’ return.
Last week I mentioned an old VHS tape I found while purging through some boxes which ended up having a couple NCAA dunk contests on it. Anyways, in that same box there were about 4 other tapes that weren’t labeled so I’ve been sloooowly going through them. One of the tapes I popped in on Sunday had a couple games from NYC’s Rucker Park (including the VC game that got brought inside due to rain), but it also had the 2000 NBA Draft on it. That was the year the Raps drafted Mo-Pete and as I fast forwarded through most of it, there were A LOT of names that made me think “what the fuck happened to him?”…Marcus Fizer…DerMarr Johnson…Scoonie Peen…Courtney Alexander…
As mentioned earlier, the tape also had some old Rucker Park games including the 2001 All-Star game and the one at the Gaucho gym when Vince showed up in the 2nd quarter and shut shit down. Check the clip…
Anyways, this will be the last post before Santa comes, but the game of the year is just around the corner as Boston and the Lakers go at it on Christmas Day. It’s still not even the half-way point of the year yet, but both teams will be jacked up and know how important this game will be (psychologically as well as to the media)…
I’m out like Gheorghe’s mid-90’s dance moves...
