Also, if you ever want to participate in this league again, I'd suggest not going and dropping your entire roster without warning.

I think I'm just going to keep Yao and Calderon this year.

Stromile Swift was also bought out by the Nets, and has interest from Phoenix. Heard this on ESPN Radio.

Jingus, you're so stupid, you probably think Judo is used to make bagels.

There's that non-superstar treatment for LeBron James.

Done.

[i]The Wall[/i] by Kansas hits, and Thunderkid and Reject make their way through the curtains. COLE Well, recently OAOAST President Josie Baker announced a mystery opponent for Thunderkid and Reject, and said she was undergoing intense negotiations to get this match signed, and apparently she has done it! BUFFER [i]The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the OAOAST World tag team championship! Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 480 pounds...they are the OAOAST World tag team champions...representing the Deadly Alliance, the team of THUNDERKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID and RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJECT!!!!![/i] COACH Be honest though, Cole, who could she have got that would be a worthy challenger with such short notice? TK and Reject prepare themselves in the ring, as Josie walks out to the stage. COLE Well, we're about to find out! JOSIE OK boys, this is it! This took a lot of tough negotiating, but I managed to get this match signed for you tonight! There was only one person who could make this match possible, so I think we need to bring this person out to make it official! After a brief pause, [i]Magnum Opus[i] hits, and the crowd comes to its feet, as Alfdogg makes his way through the curtains, holding a piece of paper. COLE It's Alf! Alfdogg is back! COACH But what would he have to do with this match? Alf grabs the mic from Josie. ALF It's really funny...these past couple weeks, I've just been laying low, evaluating things as far as what my future holds...and I came across this Deadly Alliance match clause which I signed back in the fall. Now, this clause prohibits a serious tag team contender from ever getting a title match. COACH Oh, wait a minute... ALF So, Miss Baker is right, it was all up to me to make this match happen. Meanwhile, the fans cheer, as Team Heyross slides into the ring behind TK and Reject. COACH Oh, no! ALF So as far as this contract goes...Alf giveth...*rips contract*...and Alf taketh away. Turn around, guys, and meet your oppoents! TK and Reject turn around, and are met with right hands from Moss and Benjamin, respectively! *DING DING DING* COLE And this is an official match! Team Heyross is back in business! COACH I can't believe this! Benjamin knocks Reject to the mat with a superkick, then joins Moss in a double Irish whip of TK, catching him with a double backdrop! COLE TK high in the air! Moss and Benjamin then grab Reject, and whip him hard into TK, sending him out of the ring! Benjamin then points to the ropes, and Moss runs there, as they hit Reject with the DOUBLE GOOZLE~!!! COLE Double Goozle! COACH TK and Reject were not ready for this, Cole! They haven't even got out of the blocks! The crowd comes to its feet, as Moss picks up Reject, and whips him hard into a corner, then ducks down, catching Reject backing up and lifting him onto his shoulders, carrying him over to Benjamin...who executes the SUPER ROCKER DROPPER~!!!!!11111 1... 2... 3!!! COLE NEW CHAMPIONS~! Team Heyross is on top of the mountain again! BUFFER [i]The winners of the match...and NEWWWWWWWWWWW OAOAST World tag team champions...TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!![/i] COACH This is a travesty, Cole, I'm telling you! Moss and Benjamin celebrate with the belts as [i]Shine[/i] plays, then depart the ring area, as Alf makes his way down. COACH Now what's Alf doing? Alf steps inside, and steps over the fallen Reject. ALF I forgot to mention...in exchange for these negotiations...I got a match of my choosing at AngleMania, against an opponent of my choosing. So I suggest you get ready, Reject... Alf bends over, into the face of Reject, who has come to enough to lift his head and pay attention to what Alf if saying. ALF Because you've got me, one-on-one, no disqualifications, at AngleMania VIII!!! The crowd erupts, as [i]Magnum Opus[/i] plays, and Reject's head falls back to the mat, a pouting expression on his face. COLE What amazing developments here tonight! First, new tag team champions, and now a HUGE match booked for AngleMania! Alfdogg! Reject! No disqualifications!

I will laugh so hard if this is the year Houston finally gets out of the first round.

Yeah, that would fall in with getting traded or something like that.

The 2007 series. The Suns, at best, played the Spurs equally through the first four games. Who knows what would have happened without the suspensions, but I am so sick of hearing THE SUNS WOULD TOTALLY HAVE WON IT ALL IF NOT FOR THAT. And we're also forgetting about a pending matchup with Utah, who matched up great with the Suns and beat them 3 out of 4 during the season. And no team had more luck in the '06 playoffs than the Suns. Remember Tim Thomas's three against the Lakers, and Raja Bell's against the Clippers? There's a pretty good chance they lose both those series if those shots don't fall. Back to the Spurs briefly, though. Aren't Ginobili and Parker fun to watch? It's not all just Duncan and his boring fundamentals. And I still think it's hypocritical to rip on the Spurs for flopping and complaining to officials, and come into this thread and praise the Suns, who are worse offenders of those things (especially the latter), but get a free pass because they're exciting to watch. We hear about all the Suns' injuries/misfortunes ad nauseum, what about Ginobili's injured ankle against the Lakers last year? No one ever seems to bring that up. All that said, though, I never really had a problem with either of Nash's MVPs, although I thought Dirk was more deserving in '06.

A couple deadlines. I want to know by the end of the fantasy season/playoffs if you're coming back. Meaning the last day of the NBA regular season. After that, you'll have until the end of the NBA Finals to decide on keepers. Should one of your keepers get traded/hurt/etc. following the deadline, then obviously I'd allow you to change/drop said keeper.

I did warn you guys this past summer that this is the time of year that I usually get burned out on writing. I will try to have something for the Celtic Spectacular, though.

The Phoenix Suns debacle goes on the players first and foremost. They could have worked under Terry Porter, but they didn't because they're all a bunch of crybabies who refuse to put forth any effort on defense or towards anything that "isn't fun". That was the first thing Boris Diaw said after being dealt to Charlotte, complaining about how it wasn't fun anymore. Shawn Marion did the same thing after leaving Miami, saying he was glad he didn't have to play with those "boring set plays" anymore, or something to that effect. That's why I've always argued that the Suns' rise to prominence did more bad for the game than it did good, because everyone just wants to play their style now, and teams like the Spurs and Pistons, who were doing all the right things to win titles, were written off as "boring."

The tug-of-war game on the first Mario Party for N64, I once developed a flesh wound on my palm from rotating that ghetto-ass control stick so hard. It was hell trying to work with that wound, I would have to wear gloves all night whether I needed them or not. Thankfully the GC improved upon this feature.

Apparently, Chris Mihm's trade from the Lakers came off the heels of him punching DJ Mbenga in the face in practice.

55 points/9 assists for LeBron in Milwaukee. The Bucks got hosed big-time on Villanueva's "flagrant", though.

WTF is Dallas doing? I know Barea's got a hot hand, but they're not even looking for Dirk on these plays.

Got all the IC champs with 6:14 remaining, and the WWE champs with 4:44. I got to the last one on the WWE list, and got confused, because they were listed alphabetically up until at the end of the list.

Thabo Sefolosha to OKC for a first-round pick.

Marc Stein is reporting a three-way deal of Rafer Alston to Orlando, Kyle Lowry and Brian Cook to Houston, and a first-round pick to Memphis from Orlando.

Latest rumor to pop up is Nate Robinson and Jared Jeffries to the Kings for Kenny Thomas. Another "clear money for 2010" deal for the Knicks.
