I Want A 50 Game Playoff Series Between Suns-Spurs Now December 18, 2007

Begone rest of the regular season minutiae games. Please, no need for trivialities. Last night’s Suns/Spurs battle shows what top tier basketball looks like (you paying attention Dallas?) and if you’re telling me we need another 4 months until it really counts — then you and I can’t share an ice cream cone together later today. Yeah, it’s like that.
Grant Hill, bless his elephant ears, for he is the Decidor. Last night, you saw him do damage beating opponents off the dribble, taking timely shots and just doing things. Whenever the Suns were at a lost on offense, it’s when the creativity breaks down, either when Steve Nash is on the bench or they just can’t find the 3 point netting. Grant Hill is doing this season what the Suns wanted Boris Diaw to do last season. I guess now they have two. Yay!
On the Spurs side, they probably would’ve won that game had Tony The Bastard Parker played. Tim Duncan was unstoppable and was going to win the game for them, but with Tony, it adds to the defensive pressure that the Suns don’t have an answer for. Jacque Vince Vaughn made enough shots to not get shot in the ass by Pop, but he doesn’t cave in the defense like Tony does. Manu, The Shadow Killer, had a okay night with 18pts, but his presence was not felt the GINOBILI! way. He made clutch shots, but as a whole, Suns didn’t seem to worry about him that much.
One thing that was interesting in this regular season game, which I’m not sure if it was on purpose or not, but Popovich didn’t use the tactic of making Nash a scorer. Perhaps D’Antoni and Co. finally found a counter, but it seemed like they let Steve direct traffic for this one game. Sure the whole thing could be mind games, when the Spurs will turn on the clamps when it really counts.
I’m going to sleep, wake me up in April.
Amare’s Video Game Is Going to Be SO Real! September 13, 2007

Thanks to AZ Sports Hub’s Matt for bringing to my attention Amare Stoudamire’s motion capture testing for a new NBA video game.
See, I have the final result of what those motion caps will look like in the actual game. And let me tell ya…… it doesn’t look like what STAT would have in mind. I mean, the Playstation people seriously have some balls to pull this one over Young Beast!
PS: “Young Beast?” that’s my new nickname for Amare. Spread it around the world, it’ll catch on, I swear.

Everyone loves good o’l Amare Stoudamire right. He viciously dunks on them, how can they not like him? Well, now this young lad is doing things to get away from being known as one half of THE SUSPENSION of the playoffs:
Stoudemire said he was aware of the rule about leaving the bench and doesn’t think it needs to be changed. But he feels that coaches and staff members need to be “more aware that a player’s first instinct is to protect a teammate.”
Stoudemire will be busy this summer. His first college class at ASU — a global history course — begins in July and he will then turn his attention to Team USA workouts in Las Vegas in preparation for the FIBA Americas Tournament in August.
During his workout, Stoudemire joked with a friend that he has an idea for next year’s Suns slogan.
“Forget about ‘Eyes on the Prize,’ man,” he said. “Now it’s just gonna be ‘Revenge.’”
Good for him! That “Global history course” seems scary when you factor in that FIBA championship thing, he just might use it for evvvvvil. And is his biting off a certain Agent Zero’s style with his ‘naming my next season on behalf of being slighted’? Methinks yes. Methinks I just used the word methinks. *shame emoticon*
