SHAQ ON RAW

I saw this clip of Shaq on Raw last night and thought it was pretty funny. Jericho throws out a nice line when he brings up Kobe. Shaq is always so entertaining.

Diesel to the Cavs

Well the horrible relationship between the Suns and Shaq is finally over. The 38 year old center has been traded to the Cavs in hopes of another title run with Lebron. The Cavs really didn't give up much for the future hall of famer, Ben Wallce and Sasha Pavlovic.

Sure this gives the Cavs even more star power than before, but is it enough for Lebron to get past the Magic, Celtics, and Heat come next year? I really think the Celtics may make a few moves before the season. With Danny Ainge being the man to make the changes you never know, years of being called the worst GM followed by a title after swinging deals for Allen and KG. We will see.

I don't see the Cavs winning next year once again, last I checked they were still located in Cleveland and we know they will find a way to blow it yet again.

The move for the Suns will free cap space for either a resigning of Amare or one of the big name free agents in the summer of 2010. I guess Shaq and Nash didn't get along at all, and one of them had to go.

With one of the worst draft classes in recent history being picked tonight this will still be the stroy of the day. Everyone knows Blake Griffin will be a Clipper and that is really all you need to know.

Maybe it's just me, but in recent years I have grown to detest the NBA and especially the finals. I can't stand watching player after player go to the line for tic tac calls and the refs trying to make a name for themselves. I used to be a big fan of the NBA when they let you put a body on somebody, but now it is so weak and lame. All you need to do is turn on the last two minutes of the game because you know it will be close for some strange reason? Hmmmm.........

I don't have an opinion of Shaq one way or the other but this clip is pretty good.



Also I saw this the other day. It is Norm MacDonald when he hosted the ESPYS awhile ago. Man that guy has some balls on him, but he is just putting out what a lot of people think but are afraid to say. It is a little longer clip but well worth the time. I still get a laugh at Griffey and Mark Messier being so offended by Norm, classic!

Remember Penny

I don't know about anyone else out there, but for me growing up Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway was one of my favorite players. I was watching the Magic blow the game to the 76ers the other night and I noticed a fan wearing a Penny jersey and it just brought back some great memories. Check out these videos, I'm sure you'll like them.

This is Classic Shaq & Penny


Number 2 and 1 and pretty sweet.

Don't Forget Your Moms

Glad to see the Wings didn't miss a beat last night and continue the trend of putting the puck in the goal multiple time. Franzen also had another goal to make it to 12 (pretty sure), he will need 7 more to tie two other at 19 for the most goals scored in a playoff. Just so you know, the record for points in a single playoff is 47 by of course the great one, Wayne Gretzky.

I'm not in a mood to bitch today so I won't mention the Tigers. I really hope that Billups can get back after trying to do the splits in game 3. That really looked painful.

If your a big hockey fan as well check out the Eastern Conference finals between in-state rivals Penguins and Flyers. Should be a great series.

Have a good weekend and don't forget the best part about it.

Thoughts About The Recent NBA Moves

I decided to wait a few days and take a look at how the players traded before the NBA deadline played with their new teams to rank the trades on best to worst. Without further ado here are my rankings for the best to worst trade that went through.

1. Dallas Mavericks obtaining Jason Kidd - I have already seen the improvement instantly from obtaining one of the top guards in the league. In only a few short games with the Mavs Kidd has become the floor general he always has been. No look pass here, rebound quick pass there, and always close to a triple double come fourth quarter. Kidds transition to the Mavs has been seamless and has given more opportunities to the great shooter dirk. He will also be able to dish the ball to Howard at the rim for a quick alley-op anytime. I really believe that the a great guard is needed for anytime to make a run and the playoffs and with Kidd at the helm the Mavs should meet up with the Spurs to decide who will be coming out of the West this year.



2. Cleveland Cavaliers getting Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, & Delonte West - At first I thought this was just a move to try and calm down King James from getting mad about every other team pulling strings and adding players. Now a few games in the trade seems to be much more than that and has put the Cavs right back up there with the Stones and Celtics. Wallace was horrible in Chicago where it was probably the worst fit of any team. I see Wallace getting more rebounds with defenders coming off of their man to go after James. He will also get a few more baskets in the paint because of this. They were also able to unload Larry Hughes and his contract, but did pickup the overpriced contract of Wallace as well. In the end I would rather have Wallace's contract. Szczerbiak is also a great shooter who has yet to return to the form he once had with the Timberwolves. He will also feel the affects of playing with Lebron though and get more open looks than he was getting with the Sonics. In the end I see the Cavs losing to the Celtics in the second round. This move will make the team better and Lebron happy for awhile but he will still end up in NY with either the Nets or Knicks unless the Cavs do more in the coming years. Don't forget the Yanks hat he likes to were Cleveland fans.

3. L.A. Laker finally getting Kobe a another star with Pau Gasol - Kobe is still in L.A. despite the soap opera the media wanted everyone to watch, but everyone knew wouldn't lead him going anywhere. I used to be a Kobe hater but think he is the best player in the game when he is on fire. With the addition of Gasol and Andrew Bynum getting healthy the Lakers could be the spoiler in the West come playoff time. Gasol is a good addition to play against the other big men in the West with Bynum at his side. If Bynum comes back and is playing with the energy he had before getting hurt I can see the Lakers at least getting to the second round depending on who they play in the first (Mavs or San Antonio they will lose). Kobe is playing through a torn ligament in his finger and knows that without him there their team will sink out of the playoffs in the close playoff race the West has going on.

4. Phoneix Suns winning the services of Shaq Diesel - Even though the diesel they got could be compared to the old broke down one you see for sale at the corner with a cardboard for sale sign on it, Shaq has brought some energy that I didn't think he had left. Looking at the past few games though it is hard to see that Shaq will make the Suns that much better after being stormed off their home court by the Pistons. I believe that the Suns may have been better off without Shaq, but the Matrix wanted out of Phoenix and this was the best they could do?? I don't think the Suns will make it past the second round just like Shaq's old friend, Kobe, but if they are able to get more out of Shaq than he was giving in Miami they may make it to the second round. If I were however ranking by most entertaining player acquired Shaq would be #1.





I know there were a few other trades in the NBA with Mike Bibby going to the Hawks, Kurt Thomas going to the Spurs, Bonzi Wells & Mike James going to New Orleans, and the blockbuster that is Juan Dixon coming to the Pistons. While I do think that all of these acquisitions sure up the depth of the teams they are going to I don't see the Hawks making a run with Bibby or any of the other players having as big of impact as the trades I ranked.

In the end my prediction for the finals this year: 4-2 Pistons over the Mavericks
