I have a couple of things to touch upon tonight.
First things first. The NBA playoffs have been pretty entertaining so far. I knew that the Bulls would take down the Heat, but definitely didn't see the sweep coming. I still think Toronto has a shot if JKidd stops throwing up a triple double every game. The Nuggets/Spurs series has been hard fought like I predicted and the Pistons and Cavs took care of business like we both thought. TMac pissed me off last night and now Utah is in some trouble. I think its going 7 still but I am a little nervous about it. Houston is such a good team but they have nothing if TMac is held under control. I forgot what it was like to be really involved in my team in the playoffs again. As far as the Mavs series, no one expected this but I have to say, I am not THAT surprised. I always thought the Mavs were not as dominant as their record indicated and the Warriors have had their number all year. It has been very entertaining to say the least. I have 3 things coming out of this series so far.
1. Dirk is not as good as advertised.
2. Stephen Jackson is a lot better than I thought.
3. Matt Barnes kinda scares me
**side note**
Bill Simmons really has something against Karl Malone. I love the guy but he needs to leave him alone. God damn does he tear him down about his "lack of dominance" in the playoffs. Get over it!
The NFL Draft was a little nutty. I'm not sold on JaMarcus Russell at all. Sorry Oakland. I was high on Brady Quinn so good for Cleveland. He may not become the next Payton Manning but if the other pieces are there he is good enough to get you deep into the playoffs. Putting him with Joe Thomas is only gonna help. Detroit gets Calvin which I am happy about, but I feel like we could have traded up to get Quinn or addressed more needs. All in all, we will be picking back in the top 8 again next year and we are in the weakest division in the NFL. God they suck.
New England is going out of its mind. Addalius Thomas is nasty and that really makes their D more athletic, something that they needed to do for a while now. Wes Welker and Dante Stalworth were just what the doctor ordered for Tom Brady, he actually has weapons now. Corey Dillon is gone now and that hurts a bit and so is their tight end, but that offense is gonna be Madden scary this year. And that brings me to ...
RANDY "FREAKIN" MOSS
I don't know about you, but I actually think this is going to work out. Now, I have always been a Randy Moss fan and I know he has been the Vince Carter of the NFL but there is something about him that I love. I always have felt that on pure talent he has been the best wideout in the NFL for the past decade. I also remember the guy that was a good guy and a good teammate when he was in Minnesota with Josh Reed and Chris Carter. He has always needed discipline and when he has had it he has been amazing. When he is surrounded by talent and winning he has been amazing. I feel like he will have both in New England. I also feel like he will respect Tom Brady more than he did Dante Culpepper. I think Moss felt like he made Culpepper what he was and he knows that Brady has been the top dog with shitty wideouts. Throw in the contract year and the chance to play with a dynasty and I think it is going to be a good year for the Pats and Moss.
A few random thoughts.
- the commercial with Posada and Big Papi on ESPN is awesome. I really hope you have seen it.
- the commercial with Wade and Barkley in Barkley's basement where Wade makes fun of his short tight shorts and says "sexxxy" is equally awesome.
- Jessica Alba going to Warriors games now should be enough to sell that place out every game.
- Fuck Cash Warren.
