The Lockout's

    The NFL Lockout is 109, almost 110 days in and Reporters from every saying they expect the lockout to be finished within the end of the month or early next month. The Player Power Rankings are up with Tom Brady ranked number 1 going into the season, I think ESPN experts were in Limbo when they decided this. Tom shouldn't even be the Player let alone the number one QB. But anyways, I think both sides (The NFLPA & Owners) thought that it wouldn't last this long and just want to get the deal done, not caring if they end up going 50/50 on the 9 billion dollar deal. Finally the fans get what the fans want!

    The NBA is on the verge of a Lockout as July 1st is creeping up, and the two sides (NBAPA & Owners) far far far apart from coming close to a deal. The last couple months of talks have been a joke, because they knew they weren't going to do anything until the season ended and then once it ended they just we're not focused on getting a deal done and I would like to see David Stern take a salary of $1 til they get a deal done. The thing I love about this is Teams like the Blazers are trying to save they're free agent players ( Greg Oden who was offered a 8.8 million dollar tender )so they can have them once they resume the season. And the only ones really suffering are the fans they are sending out an SOS and the NBA is acting like they never say/heard it, but hopefully they will. All I can say is  shame shame shame.

No more T.O???????

    T.O, the 37 year old is free agent this off season had surgery recently on a torn ACL according to many sources. If these reports are true Owens could be out til December, and if things go wrong it could be the end of the Owens era. Now how the injury occurred is un-decided between the fact if it happened during a VH1 reality show or an Off season workout.  If he comes back where would he end up after this lockout? Maybe Miami? Or if this is the end of the road will he be inducted into the HOF? Many question arise.

2011 NBA DRAFT

                                                                     MY TOP PICKS

Pick One:
Cleveland selected Kyle Irving the guard who came from Duke University.   I think this was a solid pick because Lebron, who left, last year played like a guard, even though he was a forward. Kyle is the same height as NBA superstar Derrick Rose who is 6-1 without shoes  which is kind of short for a guard in the NBA.   Average height is 6-3.  I really like this pick because The Cavs have no guards.   I know your going to say they have Baron Davis, and Daniel Gibson, Baron Davis is old, ineffective, and is probably going to retire after this season.  Daniel Gibson isn't that good but he isn't horrible.  They need two guards to play right so Kyle and Gibson would probably start.  Any good player they pick will be a great addition due to the fact that they just need to rebuild the entire team.

Pick Four:
 Cleveland selected Tristan Thompson who basically sealed up the spot Lebron had left.  So now I think they might actually be better (On paper, as a team) then when Lebron was there. No disrespect to Lebron but now they will have Tristan on one side at the Forward position and Antawn Jamison.  Antawn was struggling this year but I think he will bounce back, he just needed to get adjusted to the game-play of the Cavs.

Pick Eight:
The Detroit Pistons picked up Brandon Knight who spent one year at the University of Kentucky, and was debating whether or not to enroll into the Draft.  I think he could have waited a year or so more to go into the draft, he is what the Pistons will build they're team around in the coming years. I would like to see how the kid who came from a high school in my area ( Pine Crest) will do in a city where there is really no help, since they want to keep RIP Hamilton on the bench.

Pick Nine:
Kemba Walker was selected by the Bobcats. With him becoming the immediate star and mentorship of MJ he might as well be compared to D.Rose, or Wade. I definitely see him winning a couple of MVP awards and maybe even a Championship. I mean just look at what he did at Uconn, expect big things, big things.

Pick Ten:
The Bucks got the Jimmer range, I expect him to be a big three point threat like Ray Allen.  I actually think he will surpass Allen as the three point king during his career. I am completely confident that he will be great.  I'm just wondering how he will match up to Brandon Jennings and if he will be an underrated player.  I think he resembles Mike Miller.  He needs to improve on his work inside the paint.  He's quick and great at defense and that's what will get him places.

2011 Champs

 Congrats on Dallas Winning the 2011 NBA FINALS. There was a couple of things I didn't like in this series. Lets start with the refs in Dallas I mean it looked like it was rigged calling all these bad fouls on Miami, Then that affected the outcome of the series the Heat could have took the 3-2 lead instead of the Mavs then they might of won the whole thing. But whats done is done right. Then On Facebook and Twitter it felt like there was a earthquake from everyone jumping off the Heat bandwagon. The MVP award went to Dirk for his crucial performance, you can kind of think of his performance as MJ's Flu game, because even though he didn't have 60 something points like MJ did he won the most of the games for them, now don't get me wrong Jason Terry had a major impact on the Finals but Dirk was the closer. Also I hate how everybody decides to hate on Lebron, It's one man give me a break yea he could have done a much better fourth quarter performance in all the games, but he had to much heat on him (no pun intended). I was watching Espn today and I liked what one of the commentators said to LeBron," Don't try to be Jordan, just try to be yourself that would/will be good enough." Now at today's last Heat media session Wade said this, " We had a true, professional, hardworking team. This team was strictly professional. Through everything that we went through, no matter what, we all stuck together. That's what was special, what I will always remember about this 2010-2011 team. This team, short of winning a championship, was as perfect as we could be." I agree but the only funny/ true thing I've heard since Dallas won was " While everyone gangs up on Lebron for losing the Finals for the Heat I'm going to welcome the League into the brotherhood of the Lockout"- ESPN commentator Wings.

Game 4

                  

      After tonight, the Miami Heat could take a commanding 3 games to 1 lead on the Mav's. Now I'm not going to start saying o yea the Heat are going to win, because these games have been way to close. The only reason I think the Heat have the lead is thanks to Wade. I mean sure we have had help from Lebron but I would like to see more of that umf, more of that fire. And truly I think we should be beating them in games by a lot more, none of this crap where it comes down to a 2-point win. Look how we lost game 2 (which I was lucky enough to go to thank you Mark) Dirk got the little finger roll and scored with 3 seconds left, and everyone blames it on Bosh how about blaming it on Spolstra. Now last game there was a lot of calls that were bull, and everyone knows it (yea you to Mr. Cuban) it really did look like the Mav's paid the refs. On the last play it looked like Spolstra learned a lesson and put UD on Dirk. We need to be able to also contain Marion. We are suppose to be the " Big Three" now lets play like it, It's the NBA Finals. Now tonight I say with the great Defense we have been showing we should be able to pull a W and for some reason I think Chris Bosh will be monstrous tonight. O yea, here's a fun fact since 86' every team who has won game 4 has won the championship 100% of the time.

Shaq

 Well he finally did it, after 19 seasons, Shaq has retired. I've been waiting for this day almost the same amount I've been waiting for Brett Farve to retire. He had a great career and will go down as one of the best who has ever played. You might be saying is he on drugs (talking about me and what I'm saying), no he only fell apart with in the last 3 seasons. Kobe had more rings with Shaq there. The game will miss him, but maybe he will go back to being a cop. He played with Orlando, LA, MIAMI, Pheniox, Cleveland, and Boston.
