LAST WEEK  A CEARTIN  BLOGGER  PUT UP A BLOG  SAYING HE DIDNT  LIKE THE BLOGS THAT  WERE  BEING WRITTEN  ON FOX SPORTS   .. BASCIALLY  SAYING  HE THOUGHT  WE AS A  BLOGGING COMMUNITY SUCKED OR THAT WE WERE  NOT  CARRYING  OUR OWN WEIGHT AROUND HERE  .. BASICALLY TELLING US WHAT WE CAN OR CANNOT  PUT IN  OUR OWN BLOGS  .. AND THEN PROCEEDED  TO  DISRESPECT  LONG TIME BLOGGERS  WHO  LEFT COMMENTS  ON SAID BLOG .   AT FIRST  I WAS NOT GOING TO COMMENT BUT WHEN I SAW THE COMMNETS  HE  SAID AND HOW HE WORDED  HIS BLOG  AND  THE   ARROGANCE  IN WHICH IT WAS  WRITTEN  I  HAD TO STEP IN AND LEAVE  MY  THOGHTS AND  OPNIONS   .. IT GOT ME  THINKING ABOUT COMMING  UP WITH A BLOG THAT WOULD  BE  KIND OF A  COUNTER  BLOG TO HIS AND THATS  HOW I CAME  UP  WITH THIS PROJECT THAT  I HAVE BEEN WORKING  ON WHICH IS TO SHOW MY  APPREACTION  TO   ALL THOSE WHO MAKE  UP  THIS  FINE COMMUNITY AND TO SHOW  SOME REPECT TO THOSE  BLOGGERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGENNING   ..AND  I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHAT COULD I  DO  TO  SHOW MY APPREACTION  JUST A SMALL JESTER  AND THATS WHEN I  THOUGHT OF  MAKING  TAGS OR  SIGGYS OF BLOGGERS FAV SPORTS  TEAMS  .. IT'S SOMETHING THAT  I ENJOY  DOING  AND SOMETHING THAT I  WOULD LIKE  TO THINK I AM DECENT AT  SO WITH OUT FURTHER  ADU  HERE ARE  THE   SPORTS  TAGS  THAT I MADE FOR  THE  FIRST  10 PPL WHO SIGNED  UP  LISA4USC, FATMAW1, N.Y.

SO THERE YOU HAVE  IT  FOLKS   THATS WHAT THE BIG SURPRIZE WAS  FOR THOSE  WHO WERE IN THE FIRST 10 I TRULY HOPE YOU  ENJOY YOURE GIFTS  .. FOR THOSE  WHO ARE STILL  ON THE LIST  AND  IF AFTER  SEEING WHAT THE PROJECT WAS ALL ABOUT AND  IF YOU STILL WOULD  LIKE  YOURE TAGS  PLEASE LET ME KNOW  AND I WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO DO THOSE  ...  AFTER SEEING THIS  AND  YOU HAVE DECIDED  THAT  THESE  SUCKED  AND  YOU REALLY DONT  NEED A TAG THATS PERFECTLY FINE TO   .. JUST  PLEASE  LET ME KNOW EITHER WAY   ... THANKS FOR STOPPING  BY FOLKS 

I WILL MAKE THIS SHORT AND SWEET  .. GOODEN  AND  GIBSON ARE PLAYING  WAY  OVER THEIR HEAD   .. GIBSON  GETTING CALLS  LIKE HIS LAST   NAME WAS WADE  .. 11FT ATTMPTS  IN THE 1ST HALF  FROM A COMP NOBODY  .. IF THAT  DOSNT  SAY  SOMETHING ABOUT  THE   WAY GAMES ARE  CALLED IN TODAYS  NBA     NOTHING  WILL   AND  GOODEN HAS NEVER   SHOT THIS  WELL IN HIS  ENTIRE CAREER .. THIS IS THE  FIRST GAME   I WILL ACTUALLY  GIVE  CLEVELAND  AN OUNCE OF CREDIT  THEY WANTED  IT MORE THEN DET TONIGHT  ... BILLUPS   I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO  SAY OR  HOW TO  DEFEND  BILLUPS   ANYMORE   THAT  3  WAS   JUST   FREAKIN    POOR   DESCION MAKING  IF I EVER SAW IT .. BRON STEPPED  UP  TONIGHT    GOING  5/5  ON HIS  FT ATTMPTS  .. NOW  I WILL SAY   CLEVELAND  HAS  SOME  MOMENTUM  .. NOW THAT IT'S  TIED    I WASNT ABOUT  TO   SAY  IT  WITH  DET  STILL UP   BECAUSE  IT  JUST  WASNT  TRUE  .

I'M VERY SERIOUSLY  THINKING ABOUT  NOT  EVEN  WACHING THE REST OF THIS  SERIES   IN PROTEST  OF  DETS   PLAY THE LAST  TWO GAMES    .. THIS IS  NOT  DET  BASKETBALL   .. IT'S NOT EVEN  CLOSE    .. LIKE I SAID  I'LL GIVE   CLEVELAND   A TINY BIT OF  CREDIT FOR  TONIGHTS  GAME  BUT  I STILL  BELIEVE  THAT  IF DET PLAYS  AT THEIR  HIGHEST  LEVEL   AND   THE  CAVS PLAY AT THEIR HIGHEST  LEVEL I STILL  THINK  THE  CAVS STIL ARE NOT EVEN IN  DETS  LEAGUE  .. IF ANYTHING THE LAST  5  YEARS  HAVE   PROVED  THAT   DESPITE  THE LAST  TWO GAMES   AND DESPITE    THE CAVS  TAKING   DET TO  7  LAST  YEAR    .. 1 1/2  GOOD YEARS YEARS  DONT MAKE UP  FOR   4  BAD  ONES .

I'M  SICK OF SEEING  DET   PLAY DOWN TO THEIR   OPPONETS LEVEL   .. THEY BETTER    FIND  THAT  SWITCH FAST   OR  ELSE  THERE   GONNA  FIND THEMSELVES FISHING  ON LAKE  MICHIGAN.

WELL HERE WE GO AGAIN  .... STOP ME IF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS ONE BEFOR ..DET  PLAYS DOWN TO THEIR  OPPONET'S LEVEL AND  GIVES  THEM  REASON TO  BELIEVE  THEY HAVE A CHANCE  AGINST THEM .  IT HAPPEND  AGAIN LAST  NIGHT  IN A  89 -  82  LOSS  TO THE CLEVELAND  CAVALIERS .  LEBRON WENT FOR  32 - 9 -  9  PRETTY IMPRESSIVE   .. ALTHOUGH  THE  QUESTION SHOULD BE  WHERE  WAS THIS ALL ALONG   IN GAMES  1 AND  2 IN DET ???   HOW ABOUT   IN LAST YEARS  SERIES ??  HOW ABOUT   SINCE BRON HAS BEEN IN THE  LEAGUE    4  YEARS  AND THIS IS HIS  FIRST  ECF  .. WHILE FOR DET  THIS  MAKES   5  YEARS INA  ROW . 

SOME  PPL  EVEN  SAY  THAT   BRON HAS    HIS  " KILLER  INSTINCT "  NOW  .. REALLY ??   AFTER   ONE  GAME  ??   HIS KILLER  INSTINCT  MUST HAVE  BEEN ON VACATION  IN GAMES  1  AND  2   .. MORE SO  IN GAME   1  WHEN HE  HAD A   2 FOOT  DUNK    BUT  DECIDED  TO  PASS  IT  OFF INTO THE CORNER  FOR  A  OPEN 3  ATTEMPT TO WIN THE GAME  INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE  SURE   THING A 2  AND A  POSSIABLE   3  POINT  PLAY .  ( FOR THE  RECORD  I THINK HE MADE  THE  RIGHT  DESCION  BUT   ALOT OF  PPL  SEEM TO DISAGREE WITH ME  )

GAME  3  WILL  GET  MORE  OVEREXPOSURE  THEN   BRITTANY SPEARS  GETTING OUT OF A CAR  IN A SHORT  SKIRT .. I'VE EVEN SEE  THE  OBLIGATORY  MJ   REFRENCES  .. WOW  .. DID NOT SEE  THOSE   COMMIJNG AT ALL.  DIDNT WE SEE THOSE  SAME    REFRENCES  IN LAST   YEARS  SERIES  BETWEEN THESE  TWO TEAMS     HOW DID THAT TURN OUT AGAIN ??  .. STOP WITH THE MJ  REFERENCES  PPL   AND   WAKE  UP   TO  REALITY   BRON IS NOT  MJ  .. HE NEVER WILL BE MJ  AND ONE  VERY GOOD  PREFORMANCEANCE  .. EVEN AN EXCELLENT  PREFORMANCE WONT  CHANGE THAT    .. PERIOD .

SHOULD DET FANS BE WORRIED  ABOUT    BRON AND THE CAVS   ..  NOW  THAT  THEY   DID  EXCATLY WHAT THEY WERE  SUPPOSE  TO  DO AT HOME AND  THATS  WIN   ??  .. NOT  REALLY   .. I  WOULD BE  WORRIED  OBV  IF  THEY  WERE  DOWN  2 - 1   OR  3 - 0 BUT THEIR  NOT   .. DET STILL HAS  HCA   THEY DIDNT  GO OUT AND WIN THAT FOR  NOTHING  .. WE HAVE SEEN THIS  BEFOR   WITH  DET  IN  THIS YEARS  PLAYOFFS  WHERE  THEY HAVE  HAD TO DEAL WITH  A   DISAPPOINTING LOSS ONLY TO BOUNCE BACK  TWICE AS STRONG  AND PICK THEMSELVES UP  OUT OF THE  FIRE  ..  I HAVE FULL FAITH    THAT   RECENT  HISTOY  WILL  REPAET ITSELF  IN GAME  4   DET WILL   FIND ITSELF  ONCE AGAIN   .. BILLUPS  AND  RIP  WILL  FIND THEIR  GAME   WORD ON THE STREET IS   THEIR GAME IS  ON MILK CARTONS IF ANYBODY HAS  FOUND IT LOL. 

SURE I WAS  PISSED  AFTER GAME  3  JUST LIKE  ANY NORMAL   HOT BLOODED   FAN WOULD BE WHEN THEIR TEAM   TAKES A LOSS  IN THE PLAYOFF'S  .. I WASNT  PISSED THAT THEY LOST    I WAS  PISSED AT HOW  THEY LOST  .. 4TH QUARTER  .. DET DOWN BY  4   NOT MUCH TIME LEFT ON THE GAME  CLOCK   20 - 25  SECS  NOT  QUITE   SURE   .. SO DET NEEDS  TO SCORE  QUICKLY  .. SO WHAT DO THEY DO   THEY   PROCEED  TO    RUN AROUND  AND   TAKE  FOREVER TO SET UP  A  PLAY  BURNING   PRECIOUS  SECS  OF THE CLOCK  .. BEFOR    BILLUPS  PASS'S IT OUT TO  TAY  FOR A   3   WHICH   HE  CLANKS OFF  THE RIM  AND   GOODEN  SNATCHS THE REBOUND AWAY   .. END OF GAME   .. DET  TOOK WAYYYYYYYYYYY TO LONG  TO SET UP THAT   LAST   SHOT  .  AGAIN   WASNT  PISSED THAT THEY  LOST  WAS  PISSED   AT THE WAY  THAT THE  LOST  .. OH  THAT  AND  RIP DET'S  LEADING SCORER    ONLY  SCORING  7  POINTS    AND  CHAUNCY  WAITING  TILL  3 MINS LEFT IN THE  4TH TO DO ANYTHING AND ONLY ENDING  UP WITH 13 POINTS    3  DIMES AND 5  TO'S  DIDNT  HELP  THEIR CHANCES AS WELL  HE'S CERTAINLY NOT PLAYING  LIKE  HE WANTS A NEW   CONTRACT NEXT YEAR. 

I HAVE  TO GIVE IT UP  FOR BRON THOUGH FOR THAT DUNK ON SHEED  THAT  WAS  POSTER MATERIAL .. HOWEVER  NOBODY  REMEMBERS  HIM MISSING THE  FT   LOL  .. SO ON TO GAME  4   I HAVE  NO DOUBT MY  BOYS  WILL COME  THROUGH  .   OR WILL   I BE  ON HERE   WED SAYING  HERE WE  GO AGAIN  .. GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

BY NOW  YOU HAVE ALL  SEEN  THE  BLOGS  AND  STORIES  ABOUT   GREG  ODEN AND KEVIN DURRANT  AND   WHO   THE TRAILBLAZERS  WILL  PICK   .. THOSE ARE  AL WELL AND GOOD    BUT WHAT  I'M INTRESTED  IN KNOWING IS  WHERE WILL  THESE PLAYERS  END UP   IN  NEXT YEARS   NBA  FANTASY   DRAFTS .

I AM STILL A  NEWBIE  WHEN IT COMES  TO   FANTSEY SPORTS  MY FIRST YEAR  VEING  LAST  YEAR   I WAS  2  LEAGUES   ONE WAS THE  ANNUAL  DIMESMACK LEAGUE   IN WHICH  THE  REGULARS  WHO    COMMENT  ON   DIME SMACK WERE A PART  OF  .. AND THE OTHER   WAS   SET UP  BY   A MEMBER  OF  DIME SMACK .  I DIDNT  DIDNT  DO   AS BAD AS  THOUGHT I WOULD  IN   THE 1ST LEAGUE  COMMING IN  12 TH  OUT OF A  14   PLAYER  LEAGUE    AND  6TH  IN THE OTHER  LEAGUE OUT OF  12  .. FOR MY FIRST YEAR  I JUST DIDNT WANT TO BE  DEAD LAST . 

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT   MY FALIURES   .. LOL   SO WHERE  DO YOU THINK  MR. ODEN AND  MR.  DURANT  WILL  LAND  IN THE  FANTSEY  DRAFTS  .. LIKE I SAID  I'M STILL LEARNING   BUT  I  KNOW  ENOUGH  THAT  ROOKIES  USALLY  DONT GO   IN THE  FIRST  5  ROUNDS  AGAIN I COULD BE WRONG   .. I'M SURE SOMEBODY   CAN TELL ME  WHERE   LEBRON    AND WADE  WENT    IN THEIR   ROOKIE  YEAR   IN  FANTASEY  DRAFTS  WHAT ROUNDS .

FOR ME PERSONALLY  IF I  WAS   GETTING PREPARED  FOR    A  DRAFT   I WOULD   NOT PUT THEM  HIGHER  THEN   THE   5TH OR 6TH ROUND .

SO LET'S HEAR WHAT ROUND YOU WOULD  PUT THEM  IN.

WHERE TO START... I JUST WANT TO SAY  THAT  I'M NOT SAYING THIS   AS A  DET   FAN   ...  OK   THAT'S A  LIE  LOL   .. BUT   EVEN CASUAL  FANS   COULD HAVE SEEN THAT LAST  NIGHTS  GAME  WAS   THE WORST R####   PLAYOFF GAME  THEY HAD EVER SEEN  IN A LONG  #### TIME  ... I COUNTED  AT LEAST  THREE   PALMING  VIOLATIONS  BY   LEBRON THAT WERE NOT CALLED   .. VARIOUS TRAVELS    .. NUMEROUS  FOULS   THAT WERE  MISSED   .. IT  JUST   DIDNT  SEEM  VERY  EVENLY CALLED  BY A LONG SHOT  .....

CLEVELAND SHOULD  HAVE  NEVER    HAD THAT MANY CALLS  GO IN THEIR  FAVOR  ON SOMEBODY ELSES   HOME COURT   . ESP IN A   PLAYOFF GAME  .. THAT  WAS  100  %  #### .

THE LAST FEW PLAYS OF THE GAME   .... WAS LEBRON FOULED   .. YES   ..  WAS THEIR ENOUGH  CONTACT  TO  EFFECT A GAME  WINNING SHOT  .. UMMM  NO   .. A CASE COULD HAVE BEEN  MADE  FOR  BRON  USING    HIS  OFF ARM  LIKE HE  DOES   75 %  OF THE TIME HE DRIVES  THE LANE  .. LIKE A BATTERING RAM  ..  I PERSONALLY COUNTED AT LEAST  3 PALMING  VIOLATIONS    ON LEBRON THAT WERE  NOT  CALLED   . TRAVELS THAT WERE  NOT  CALLED    ..NUMEROUS   FOULS   THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE  BEEN CALLED  .. ETC ETC  ..

CAV'S FANS IF YOU'RE  GONNA BLAME ANYBODY BLAME  HUGHES  FOR   MISSING   A GOLDEN  OPPERTUNITY    FOR MISSING  A  WIDE  OPEN   10  FOOTER  .. BLAME   FLOPPPY  MC  FLOPPERSON  FOR MISSIN THE  TIP IN   ..BLAME THE CAVS FOR  CHOKING AWAY  A 12 POINT LEAD  .. IF THEY WOULD HAVE   TAKIN CARE OF  BUSINESS  IT  WOULD NOT  HAVE COME DOWN TO  THE LAST  FEW  POSESSIONS  IN THE FIRST  DAMN PLACE .. ..

ON SHEEDS  OFFENSIVE  FOUL ON   FLOPPY  ( VEREAJO ) WAS  LEGIT  BUT YOU KNOW  WHAT  THAT WAS    THAT WAS  CALLED  SWEET  JUSTICE  AND  PAY  BACK  FOR    ALL THE  BULL  #### DET  WAS GETTIN ALL  NIGHT LONG  .. AND  YOU KNOW WHY IN MY EYES  ANYWAY  AND  I'M SURE IN  ALOT  OF OTHER PPLS EYES  CLEVELAND  WAS  GETTIN  CALLS  ON THE  DET'S   HOMECOURT ??   BECAUSE IN GAME  1 THEY  GOT  VERY  LITTLE    IF  NONE AT ALL AND  BRON WENT TO THE LINE  ZERO  TIMES   AND THE OFFCIALS  WERE   SCREWIN DET  OVER   BY  MAKIN UP FOR IT LAST NIGHT  ..  SAY WHAT EVER YA WANT  BUT YOU KNOW THATS  TRUE  ...

I JUST DONT KNOW HOW   THE  REFS  AND   THERE FOR  THE LEAGUE  CAUSE THE REF'S  WORK FOR  STERN AND THE LEAGUE  HOW   THEY CAN  LET  SUCH  BIAS   OFFCIATING   EXIST  .. IT'S OBV  WHO THEY WANT  IN THE  FINALS  AND LAST NIGHT THE  DID ALL THEY COULD DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS  A VERY  VERY  VERY  GOOD  CHANCE OF  THAT  HAPPENNING    .. THINK ABOUT  IT  BEFOR  YOU  CALL ME  CRAZY OR   A HOMER   OR  SOMETHING ALONG  THOSE  LINES  .... EXCEPT FOR  LAST YEAR  WHO HAS  BEEN TO THE FINALS THE MOST  .... THATS RIGHT  DET AND   THE SPURS   .. YOU DONT THINK THAT   THE LEAGUE  WANTS   A FRESH NEW TEAM  IN  THE FINALS  AKA  THE HEAT  LAST  YEAR    .. EVERYBODY  KEEPS  SAYIN  HOW   DET VS  SAN ANTONIO  IS DULL  ..IT'S  BOERING  ..   NOBODY WANTS TO  SEE  FINAL SCORES  OF   75 TO  70  .. YOU DONT THINK  THE LEAGUE  SEES  THAT   AND  EITHER  SUBTLY  OR   IN THE CASE OF  LAST NIGHT NOT SO  SUBTLY.. I DONT WANNA  SAY  FIX'S  CAUSE    THATS   A  LITTLE  CRAZY   ..EVEN FOR ME LOL .. BUT  OFFCIATES  GAMES  SO THAT  THE  SERIES  COULD TILT  IN FAVOR   OF  THE  "  UNDERDOG "   THE UNDERDOG  AKA  THE  FRESH NEW TEAM  IN THE FINALS  YOU DONT THINK  THAT WOULD  NOT   OR COULD NOT BE A  POSSIABLITY   EVEN IF  IT'S A SMALL  POSSIABLITY  IT'S  STILL A POSSIABLITY ....

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY   "  WELL HOW COME  THE JAZZ  HAVE NOT  GOTTEN ANY  CALLS TO GO THEIR  WAY  IN THEIR  SERIES   SINCE   UTAH IS  THE  "  UNDERDOG "   "   .. OH IT'S COMMIN   IT  WILL  COME   HEADING BACK TO UTAH   .. THE  HOME  TEAM  ALWAYS  GETS   CALLS    .. BUT AGAIN AFTER WATCHING LAST NIGHTS GAME  YOU WOULDNT  BE  ABLE  TO  TELL  THAT .

DON'T  GET ME WRONG   I'M  GLAD DET  WON  BUT    THERES  NO WAY YOU  WILL EVER  CONVINCE ME    THAT THAT   WASN'T A  POORLY  CALLED  GAME   .. AGAIN EVEN  CASUAL  FANS  OR  EVEN FANS  WHO DONT WATCH THE NBA   BUT   KNOW THE RULES OF  BASKETBALL  COULD TELL THAT .

SO ON TO GAME 3  IN CLEVELAND  .. WE'LL  SEE IF  DET  DOSNT  HAVE TO  PLAY  5  ON  8 .
