NBA Blog

I promise, I will have a preview for the upcoming season with predictions on who will win the whole thing.  Until then, you should check out the Sports Guy’s top 33 reasons this will be a compelling NBA season.  I agreed with a vast majority of this column.  Although, I’m not as sold on the Rockets as he is.  I just can’t get behind a quickly fading T-Mac, a freakishly tall Chinese center who has foot problems, ‘glue guy’ (read overpaid 9 points per game) Shane Battier, and Bonzi ‘Psycho’ Wells for 82 games.  I just don’t see them holding up, especially in the most difficult division in the NBA.

Just thought you should know that the Sonics started a rookie African center who couldn’t hit a lay-up 10 months ago.  Needless to say, they won’t be sniffing the postseason this year.

On the plus side, the Sixers, Hawks and Knicks (oh wait, they don’t have their number one this year either) have officially begun the Greg Oden run.

The Bucks uniforms look stupid.  I thought they couldn’t do any worse than the green and purple, but then they go darker with the green, add a deep red, and make their uniforms shiny.  They look like a damned Christmas tree. 

Watch ESPN tonight for the biggest game in Louisville history.  I had the opportunity to chat with a high-up member of the UofL athletic department, and they are extremely excited about tonight.   This game could just be called the $18 million game for them.  Yep, the BCS conferences make that much for having their team appear in the national championship game.  Meanwhile, the other BCS conferences get $15 million for the other BCS games. 

Unfortunately, I won’t be going to the game tonight., couldn’t get a ticket.  I’m completely bummed about this.  To make matters worse, I’m probably missing the Breeder’s Cup in Louisville on Saturday.  Man, I’m stoked about this right now.  In case you’re slow, that’s thinly-veiled sarcasm to cover up the fact that I’m pissed off right now.
