I'm moving over to a new blog that will look much like the first, later this week I'll be posting pics of my badass vacation.

My Wish with Pacman

One of these sick kids should choose Pacman for their My Wish segment. You know you'll end up seeing breasts, and you might even get to kill someone! That's way better than hitting a ball off a tee with Todd Helton!

ESPN When?

I've been inundated with commercials with ESPN Now which is a measure of Q rating in between My Wish segments on Sportscenter which are straight from a telethon, leading me to the conclusion that we are fast approaching a day when ESPN doesn't televise sports, MTV doesn't play music, and Fox News doesn't report news.

Fantastic day for sports; Ainge is a moron

I get in the same day Frank Thomas hits #500 and Biggio hits his 3000th, along with the NBA Draft? Sweet.

Danny Ainge is the most incompetent human being in sports. I can't believe he draws a salary for being like a 2nd guard off the bench for most of his career. He trades the #5 pick in the deepest draft ever, the very palatable contract of Delonte West, and the high 7 digits Szczerbiak is getting the next 3 years for a 32 year old jump shooting max contract? Are you kidding? It's not like they're playing for anything more than a six seed this year, it's better to dump Paul Pierce if he wants out than be saddled with two max contracts for a combined nine years. The funniest thing I've read about the deal is written by kurtangletn on boston.com: "What you guys aren't happy about throwing a year for Ray Allen? Whats the matter with you?"

I was okay with Nick Young at 16; I'm from the Ozzie Newsome school of taking the best player available, and the Wizards can let Stevenson and Hayes go and replace them with a guy who can play above the rim. Then they also have more money to resign Blatche. New Jersey took Sean Williams (kicked off the team for drugs) with the next pick, hearkening back to last year when they took Marcus Williams (suspended for stealing laptop computers). David Aldridge always says you can have one knucklehead, but when you have two it starts to be a group. Something to watch in New Jersey now that there's an opening in organized crime.

The second biggest trade was probably Portland dealing Zach Randolph to New York for Steve Francis and Channing Frye. Normally you would just assume that Isiah Thomas made a bad trade, but I can see both teams thinking here. Portland is declaring Oden the franchise player, and when Steve Francis's max contract comes off the book, Portland can make a splash in free agency while Oden is playing out his option. New York is adding a 25 year old 20 and 10 guy who's locked up for the next five years. Fair deal.

Something for while I'm gone

afk

As most of you know, I'll be in Hawaii/Boston for the next three weeks, so blog entries during that time will be few and far between. Rest assured that when I get back I'll continue to spit hot fire from my fingers.

My top 5 NBA point guards

After a month of hearing NBA heads gush about Tony Parker and Deron Williams, like a month after Baron Davis was the best player in the first round, it's about time for me to drop my top 5 NBA point guards.

1. Steve Nash - great finisher and passer, best player on maybe the best team, 2 of the last 3 MVPs and finished 2nd this year.
2. Jason Kidd - had two triple doubles in the playoffs, giving him 10 in the postseason in his Hall of Fame career.
3. Baron Davis - I thought people would finally realize how good BD was after the upset over Dallas. Averaged 20 points, 8 assists, and 2 steals during the season.
4. Tony Parker - quicker than Billups, might average more points on a faster paced team.
5. Chaucey Billups - down three with 10 seconds left, outside of Kobe and Arenas I don't know if there's anyone else I'd rather have with the ball.
