Don't Apologize

All this talk about Sherman (I know its football but it happens a lot in the NBA too) and his post game comments got me thinking about a few things.

1. Don't apologize. You said it homie. No need to go on twitter the same night or following day and tweeting out your apologies in perfect grammar about how you're not that person. Because.. you kind of are that person. You said it, and you know what? We would like you a lot more if you just stuck to your guns and say what you mean. Like Stephen Jackson. He's about dat life. Which brings me to my next point.

2. Don't Judge? I hate when people say that. "Don't judge me because of that incident..." Okay, so when are we able to judge? Not by your actions but by the things you say and want people to think? If your actions are a reflection of your character, and your actions make you look like an intolerable jackass.. then your character is probably near close to an intolerable jackass.

3. I love it. I wish there was more of this stuff going on. It would bring the WWE closer to mainstream professional sports. The NBA was most watchable and exciting when everyone fucking hated the Heat and LeBRON. Now he's won 2 championships and it's boring. It was best when every stadium was selling out in hopes of seeing their mediocre team shock the conniving Heat.
I want a team to win, and get on the mic and talk some major shit. None of this, "They're a great team, and we're lucky to come out of this with a win" bullshit. I want 2000's Trailblazer style "Fuck'em, they aint shit against us homie. They couldn't buy a bucket naw mean? haha Swagger cuh."

Suns and Blazers...and the East

Yes! Thank heavens for the Blazers and the Suns. In a league that is more predictable than a season of the Bachelor, it's good to see some spontaneity. The Blazers are by far the league's biggest surprise, meanwhile my Suns are just a little bit less of a surprise, but a surprise nonetheless. The pitiful thing about the Suns being a "surprise" is that they're not even that great. They just don't majorly suck like most of the experts picked (myself included). They're winning most of their games off of speed alone, which is great to watch. When they came to LA they basically ran the Lakers out of the arena, which isn't saying a whole lot, but it's still impressive.

The Blazers meanwhile are no longer the FailBlazers. And Damien Lillard is the nastiest dude in the league right now. The reason I bring up both the Blazers and the Suns in conjunction with the East is because if either of these teams were in the East they would be killing! The Blazers would be at the top with the Heat and the Pacers, and the Suns would be a 4th seed*.

Which brings me to my next point, the East is fucking pathetic.

I don't have the standings in front of me but off the top of my head I believe both the Nets and the Knicks are some where near the bottom of the East. In fact I don't think they're in the playoffs. If they are, they're 8 or 9 seeds. How sad are the Bucks? Worst team in the league, god damnit. The 76ers have completely taken a shit like I knew they would. Chicago is out for the season. Are the Wizards still a team? They should really be contracted, or combined with the bobcats. That would be interesting. Two worst teams in each conference get combined to make one mediocre team.

West: Jazzy Kings
East: BobWizards.
