4.2.08

the rundown: starring stifler and the roq

1. jason kidd can pass and defend (and he's big). so he's 35 years old with reconstructed knees. guess what: so are the rest of the starters.

2. so ron artest is crazy. so what. he can guard the perimeter and hoist threes and scare people. guess what: this team is built around crazy. intense-crazy is the best kind.

3. camby has the best contract in the league and takes more plays off than randy moss. his numbers will never be better. he will never be more moveable. get some!

4. iverson is only marginally easier to play with than early earl boykins. in two years, he expires. so give us two good years. melo will be exactly the same

5. nene is doing chemo. i would too. at least we know he won't come back fat.

6. we rolled the dice in the lottery and got a superstar. what it comes down to in the nba is: does your superstar care? because there are like 20 dudes in each generation with the tools to actually dominate at this level. so what if ours doesn't have that michael jordan sociopath mentality. so what is he's more or less a happy dude. so what if he already won all his most important battles and now he's cool doing shitloads of charity work and scoring a lot and financing documentaries and having kids and not sweating the small stuff (weakside defense, etc.). i only do my job for the money, too. can't be mad at that unless you're an extremely frustrated person.

7. so make a move, shadowy co-op that runs the nugs. this team is built for the short run. so make a fucking short run. i don't like how comfortable it feels being down 3-1 in the first round.

in conclusion,



ps. j.r. for delonte west. get it done. karl hates j.r. like the second son he never had. swap him for a red-headed stepchild who at least has the right skillset.

pps. you better sign the fucking birdman is n.o. doesn't. denver has lots of white people and lots of money to spend. and he's the fucking birdman. if you yell his name at a game, he will turn and point at you with both hands and smile and maybe do a birdcall or flap his hands. maybe kroenke would adopt him.

ADDED: looks like it might be mike miller. he can ball, at least on offense. definitely the shooter we need. decent handle, good passer, can finish in the open court. doesn't really guard anybody. would he start next to AI or come off the bench? he would mos def thrive in our running environment. we'd likely score every time if it was young miss miller popping those bailout jumpers instead of kenyon and camby. i say fuck it, get it done. especially if it can get done for like eddie (luv u boo, but you know how it is) and JR and a first rounder. i mean, shit, come on!!

i don't think we tradin LK. i don't think anyone will take Ne or K. i think camby's probably on the table, but not gonna happen. so it's gonna be a combination of eddie and jr and picks and spare parts. but maybe camby goes through and it's something big. shit, mike miller's pretty big, though.
