The post is comin a little late this morning. I did not have time to write last night and this morning there was a fire alarm in my office building. Aaaaaaaaanyhoo, here is some stuff for ya..
- I did not know much about Jerry Reese before the Giants promoted him to GM, but as of now I like the move. He is a young guy, and has been in the organization for a while. I like the idea that he understands New York and the Giants history. In the same respect though, he will put his own touch on the Giants operation. I think that he will bring some new ideas and hopefully some needed innovation to the franchise.
- Interesting (and long-awaited) baseball trade went down yesterday. The Braves acquired Mike Gonzalez form the Pirates for Adam Laroche. I like the deal from both sides. The Pirates needed some help offensively, especially at first base. It is more interesting from the Braves perspective though. Much like the AL East, the NL East now has a premium on left-handed pitching, especially in the bullpen. The Mets and Phillies are stacked with left-handed hitters and switch hitters that are better from the left side (Ryan Howard, Carlos Delgado, Chase Utley, Carlos Beltran). I could also see the Braves being in a position to deal Gonzalez to the AL East though for plenty of talent. The Yankees love him and the Red Sox still need a closer..
- Recently the NBA talk has been of who is the best clutch shooter, since Gilbert Arenas has been knocking down buzzer beaters on what seems like a nightly basis. My top three guys I want the ball with the clock going down....1. Kobe Bryant 2. Gilbert Arenas 3. Steve Nash
- After all that has happened this season so far with the Knicks they still would not be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Will Isiah keep his job? Unfortunately I think so, but if they don't make the playoffs he shouldn't. Whatever, this is a waste of space.
- Why is everyone hating on the NFL playoffs after last week. Everyone is ripping the Bears in the NFC game and everyone is sick of both the Colts and Pats in the AFC. I think both will be great games, and come Monday we will be happy with the Super Bowl match-up no matter who it is. No matter what it will be better than Seattle/Shitsburgh.

- Tomorrow I will have brief Title game picks. We all know the match-ups and keys, so I will have something short about each game.

I would rather have YA boy 'Melo taking the last shot than Nash and maybe even Arenas...Kobe is obviously #1 on the court (and in my heart)...plus he raped someone.
well put katzo...i think Melo is going to dominate the rest of the way...but what ive wanted to say is how bad do the spurs look? old, slow, and even more boring than ever...
Crawford has 7 go ahead baskets in the final 10 seconds of games since joining the Knicks
Melo has to be in the discussion though, maybe ahead of Nash. I can't remember the exact numbers but Melo had the highest percentage of game tying/ game winning shots in the final 10 seconds than anyone in the league... including everyone's boy Kobe
If you guys noticed, I said who's HANDS do you want the ball in, not who is taking the last shot. I not only trust Nash as a shooter, but as a decision maker. I feel the same about Kobe and Arenas. I am a huge Melo guy, but trust the other three for their decisions with time running out as well as their shot.
4 and 5 on my list may just be Iverson and 'Melo anyway tho...
Put the ball in D-Wade's hands and spot Big Shot Bob up in the corner and we'll get a basket every time.
the list in a year or two will def include Deron Williams aka the memo.....about kobe anyone remember him being like 20 or 21 yrs old in the finals against the pacers...shaq fouled out and kobe hit shot after shot in the 4th ...looked at his bench and gave them the hands down ...i got this motion...nobodys better ...
I remember that Rambone....No one does that, especially at that age. He is still the best.
Wade may be the best a drawing a bullshit foul with no time remaining...thats about it!
