I expected the '94 Pacers to be shite after trading Detlef Schrempf. But they would up getting to the conference Finals. Would have been the NBA Finals, but we were cheated in game 7.

Your mom.

Um, Parker and Duncan can't carry the Spurs? Didn't they just carry them to a title LAST SEASON? Why can't they carry them this year, especially when they've improved their bench?

The winner is.... Jody Gerut, OF, Cleveland Indians. It was in my paper a few days ago. I looked around and didn't see it mentioned. Discuss. EDIT: This was the Sporting News winner of the award. I'm not sure if that's the one that's recognized or not.

If Wallace would get in the post a little more, I'd trade Battie for him in a heartbeat.

I know you were exaggerating Ripper, but for fun, I counted six coaches who are returning in the East: Terry Stotts Jim O'Brien Bill Cartwright Byron Scott Don (?) Chaney Doc Rivers

You forgot: 11: Alfdogg

Yeah, I think that's weird, too...Riley has been gushing over Odom ever since he came into the league, then he finally is able to get him, and now he quits?

What the FUCK kind of trade is that. Are the Rockets *deliberately* trying to knock themselves out of playoff contention?

Bender has been walking without crutches for the last week and is shooting at shootarounds. The surgery was close to a month ago. Unless he had another one and I just didn't hear about it.

Boy, that Shane Heal signing really set the world on fire last night, didn't it? He came off the bench to shoot 1 for 11.

Wait.....what was he before??? Really. That's like a trip to the saloon for him.

First of all, I'd be a fool if I said that Malone and Payton aren't an improvement over Samaki Walker and Derek Fisher. And with Sac's early injury woes, they should be able to capture the division. But, IMHO, San Antonio will once again be the champs when all is said and done. It's hard to replace a guy like Robinson. Rasho may not be able to guard Shaq, but I think he can make just as good a compliment to Timmay as David did. Their PG position, altough they acquired Anthony Carter from Miami, took a hit with Claxton leaving. But they got Mercer, who can't have a much worse season than he did with the Pacers last year, if that says anything. They also got Hedo Turkoglu, who I think makes up nicely for the loss of Stephen Jackson. Even with the acquisitions of Dallas, Sacramento, and Minnesota, I still think SA is the best team in the league.

The Baseball Writers of America reward will not be revealed until 11-10. The Sporting News recently named him the AL's top rookie position player. I didn't read the article close enough. Sorry.

I know, I changed it before I saw your post.

That was an exceedingly unkind thing for you to say.

mmmm....forbidden donut...

Jeez, you're worse than HHH. HHH puts himself over when he's so injured that he can't move... But with a KIDNEY STONE? Come on.

Here I am.

That's cool. I think Finley should still be the No. 2 option on offense. His assists could possibly go up as well, even if his points do go down, which is really the only thing I think WILL go down. Maybe rebounds. I guess we'll just have to wait and see though.

Turkoglu. They got him in the Brad Miller-to-SAC three-way deal. I don't think he'll start, though.

I'm offering Finley (to whoever has him) for Kirilenko. I haven't proposed it on Yahoo yet.

Article Well, he suited up for two Indianapolis Ice games and boxed the Fridge. How long can *this* last?

*wakes up* I meant "spear" as in what Goldberg does. *goes back to bed*

*looks in box* NO GERMAN CHOCOLATE??? Ah well... *eats cupcakes and goes to bed*
