Holy shit, Shane Battier ROCKED the Muta scale!

yeah, I honestly think he's being overpaid, but a one year deal for Cruz is pretty safe. I don't trust the guy at all, but if he busts you just let him walk, you're not blowing a ton of cash there, and odds are there's someone in the organization who can replace him if the need arises

While the Knicks obviously suck at the moment (which is to be expected with a new coach, 3/5ths fresh starting 5 and 3 rookies), the important news is that CHANNING FRYE PLAYED! HALLELUJAH!!! LARRY "GENIUS" BROWN SAVED HIM FOR MSG!!!!!!!!!!! HOW AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!!! :D I didn't see the game because I'm too poor to pay for the MSG network (and I was too lazy to hook up the tinfoil bodysuit to pull in WFAN), but Frye had 9 boards (4 on offense) in 18 minutes. I like the sound of that. Antonio Davis had FOURTEEN boards, and was 1-9 from the floor. I'm still trying to figure out why in the hell Matt Barnes is starting. Can someone who watched the game tell me which unit looked the best?

NEW USER NAME!

Bulls in 6, Bulls in 7...it doesn't matter...Duncan isn't Jordan enough to carry them to win that....and depending on which Bulls team we're talking about they had various capable big bodies (BISON DELE~!) to throw at him. Plus, I think Rodman would frustrate the hell out of TD To be fair, Spurs could probably beat one of the early Bulls teams, 91 or 92. 2nd 3peat? No way, Jordan-Pippen-Kukoc would eat them alive

In a series....no way

I popped a little wood on that Rip Hamilton curl-->pop

Enter Sandman. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> how very unoriginal

Al would know this, but what music do they play when Wagner comes in? It should totally be Ride of the Valkyries!

DOH!....pretty sure I knew that

Put Bob Wickman in a drug rug and sombrero and you can barely tell the difference what are those things (drug rug) called anyway? The triangular multicolored bandito type getups...

I wonder what a meeting at the Wagner house is like. I'm thinking Miller High Life on ice, and Omar excusing himself to slip in a lime

$7mil TOTAL??! You sure it's not annual? They'd have to give up MAD prospects for that deal to be fair

HOT STOVE~!! - Yankees named Ron Guidry pitching coach and Joe Kerrigan bullpen coach. (LOUISIANA LIGHTNING!!!!!!11) - Padres acquired third baseman Vinny Castilla from the Nationals for RHP Brian Lawrence and cash. - White Sox agreed to terms with catcher Chris Widger on a one-year, $650,000 contract. - Dodgers re-signed outfielder Jose Cruz Jr. to a one-year contract ($3.21 million) with a club option for 2007 - White Sox exercised a $3.5 million buyout on the contract of designated hitter Frank Thomas (I want him on the Yankees, I don't care if it's intelligent, it would be so cool!!!) - The Twins have had discussions with the Phillies about Jim Thome, who is owed $43.5 million over the next three years - The Rockies are looking at Marquis Grissom and Jeff Conine as they search for a fourth outfielder. (watch Marquis hit 30 homers in Coors) - The Mets are considering signing Julio Franco to platoon with Mike Jacobs at first base. - Indians exercised second baseman Ronnie Belliard's $4 million club option for 2006. - Several Mets executives, including GM Omar Minaya, traveled to Virginia yesterday to meet with Billy Wagner at his home. - The Mariners have joined the Rockies in contacting the agent for right-hander Matt Morris. - Mariners, Cards, Indians have all been in contact with Brian Giles' agent

I don't think the Cavs as a team are ready to beat the Spurs yet, it looks like Hughes will need a couple weeks to find a comfortable role, but LeBron can always have an MJ night and drop 55 on em. Bowen/Finley on LeBron should be real good, and the Big Z/Duncan matchup

Yeah, and I was THIS CLOSE to getting him with my last pick In other news, I picked up DeLonte West, who should provide some decent numbers barring injury. CELTICS picked up the D. West from NOK, and I can only assume he grabbed the wrong guy. Oh well Oh, and my fucking opponent this week, SPORKS, left all his players on the bench

Smush is great and all, lot's of talent, but if he doesn't learn how to play *real* defense he's gonna be coming off the bench soon. Nash had like 16 assists or something, and almost half of them were a direct result of Smush being out of position or misplaying a switch

You've got to be kidding me. Did we watch the same game? Odom didn't shoot well, but he did all kinds of shit that kept them in that game, on both ends. Kwame was just kind of there, very blah performance.

Nate Robinson played 10 minutes and looked good, he was high energy getting to loose balls and creating open spaces. Frye and Lee got no run at all.

Thats what happens when your center is gassed, and Marburys just driving to the basket every single possesion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, you can thank Brown for barely using James, Frye didn't even get out of warmups, and Malik Rose played like two minutes. I think he's purposely trying to give Curry a heart attack.

Knicks just completely shit the bed in OT, Celtics dominated

ANTONIO DAVIS SENDS IT TO OVERTIME!@!!!!

how the hell was that an offensive foul? YOU HAVE TO HIT THE DECK TO GET THAT CALL!

sucks to be Nene too, dude is in a contract year

Curry now 5-12 from the line. Baby Shaq indeed
