So, which doo do you prefer, nash's new cut, or the old greasy look? These pictures are in order: Nash's new doo(from the arizona republic website), doo when he first entered the league (nba.com), and his greasy doo(steve-nash.net). Which do you prefer?
Did anyone else watch that Grizzlies-Mavericks game last night?After the first quarter I thought the Griz might be able to make a game of it…but then the worst basketball I have ever seen played occurred.Come on Grizzlies, 48 points in the last 3 quarters? 20 turnovers?I actually committed a crime last night…about 8 minutes to go in the fourth, I gave the control to my wife.Yep, let me repeat that…I gave the REMOTE CONTROL TO MY WIFE. This was the worst display of "Professionalism" that I have seen in a while. That is all I have to say about this game…this is the playoffs isn’t it?
Ok, I can’t quit talking about the Griz.I haven’t seen much of Pau Gasol this year, but he has looked God awful in the first two playoffs games.Is he playing basketball or trying out for the part of Moses in the next installment of The Ten Commandments? Quit practicing splitting the red sea and put the ball in the basket for cyrin out loud…Am I missing something here? How did Gasol get the All Star nod over Carmelo?
I have overcome my Phoenix Suns complex.I now will state that the Lakers will win this playoff series.Defense wins playoff games, and quite frankly, Phoenix can’t play a lick of it.Every time they needed a stop, LA Lakeshow came up with a big play.Either a big Odom trey…or Kobe taking advantage of a photo op by dunking all over Nash(This was a good call, Kobe was already in the air).In short, Phoenix is an offensive phenom, but can’t demand a defensive stop like other teams like the Pistons and Spurs.Wasn’t the blank look on D’Antoni’s face priceless all night?He didn’t know what to do, reminded me of when he was here in Denver…
Kudos to Kobe for being a true leader of men.Aside from scoring 29 last night, he has his team believing they can win and performing at a high level…
Here’s to getting Denver a win tonight at the Can.With Martin suspended, the Nuggets should have a shot to win.Don’t believe me?IN the 38 games Martin has not played in over the past 2 years, the Nuggs are 29-9.Look for the series to go back to Staples at 2-2.Just a slight warning though, the prediction I just made might be the homer in me shining through...
Thanks for your time, Please let me know if I am off base...
I am a former NCAA Div I athete/has-be en and I have decided to try to take a swing at using this blog give my views on many a sports issue. I was raised and currently reside in Denver, so I am sure my bias will show. Being new to the blogosphere, I will try to not embarass myself.. I am just looking to settle every argument I have ever had in my local sports bar. Since the good 'ol playing days, I have taken a desk job and gained 40 pounds, so let's see if I can throw some wieght behind my words.
