Identity Crisis

Here's another saying that the NBA feeds us while watching a struggling team that really grinds my gears.

"The New York Knicks (or place another shitty team here) have been really struggling to find their identity this year."
Which in other words means, "You suck".

There are no direct excuses to reason why this particular team is as bad as they are. There are no injuries, no problems (besides them sucking dick too) in the front office, and the coach is probably just as helpless. So instead of an announcer outright saying this team is fucking terrible, they say, "They are really struggling to find an identity".

And how much weight can this statement carry near the All-Star break? Halfway through the season and teams are still searching to find an identity? More like they're searching to find their own assholes. If you haven't found an identity its code for you don't know how to play with the other teammates on your team.

Here are a few players that will strip your team of an identity and all hope.
-OJ Mayo
- Melo
- Dwight Howard
- Utah Jazz
- Josh Smith

I guess this cold also be a blog entry about being less selfish, but whatever, it's the NBA, where selfish happens.

The NBA Sucks

Here's your friendly reminder that the NBA is fucking terrible.

And right now it's at an all time low. Injuries stacked upon injuries, people ain't given a fuck (The Heat) and fans that are for some reason still buying tickets to games.
 - real quick, I saw some HBO special last night about the Sacramento Kings and some Indian dude that bought the team to keep them in the area because "that's all they got up there." And the analogy Kevin Johnson gave was if someone took Ford Motor Company out of Detroit?? Seriously!?? That much of the economy and overall health is determined by a forgettable Western Conference team? I've been to Sac Town (beautiful city, just don't eat at Jaspers)

Anyway.

Lets look at the games for tonight.

Pacers v Suns - Would be a cool game to watch if Bledsoe wasn't injured.

Spurs v Thunder - Would be better if Westbrook was there to smash on Tony Parker. I hope Popavich sits his stars.

Bulls v Cavaliers - STINKS!

Magic v Hawks - DEATH

Mavericks v Raptors - Sucks for Texans and Canadians.

Celtics v Wizards - Isn't the blizzard bad enough?

76ers v Knicks - Can we just send the entire 76er team to the D-League?

Kings v Rockets - Dwight Howard doesn't like basketball, and the Kings play like they don't.

Pistons v Bucks - Depression.
