- Well, for anyone who ever dismissed "Game of Shadows," it sure seems like many of the things it brought up are coming true. First Marion Jones admits to using performance-enhancing drugs, now Barry Bonds gets indicted for perjury about lying about taking steroids. I have one thing to say:PHHBBBBBBBBBBBBBTTTTTTTTTTT!!!
- I don't get the schizoprhenic Trail Blazers this season. First they can beat teams like Dallas and Detroit fairly convincingly, but then they can blow a 25-point lead to the 76ers (!) of all teams, before losing to a Wizards team without Gilbert Arenas. The main thing this team needs to learn is consistency; being able to bring that same intensity to the big games as to the small ones.
Of course, let's be patient, these guys are still a young team. Give them time to develop.
- However, some of the personel of the Blazers need to shape up for the team to be successful. I love Steve Blake's intensity and his ballhandling, but the guy needs to learn how to shoot! He's only shooting 35 percent from the field, and an abysmal 27 percent from the 3-point line. I thought we brought him in to shore up our long range shooting? Where's his touch that he showed in the black and red two years ago?
Don't get me started about Channing Frye. Let me say this, if the second unit is so week that you move your best defender (Joel Przybilla, who else?) to the bench and move Channing Frye to the starting center spot, its not a good sign. He's only averaging 3.5 rebounds per game, and has played some of the worst defense I've ever seen from a "center." He just looks clueless out there, with his back turned to cutters, not recovering quickly, and committing dumb fouls. I'm not sure he is much of an upgrade from Z-Bo. Yeah, I said it.
- The Gonzaga Bulldogs are looking good right now, but lets have them play a good team before we annoint them as the best team Gonzaga has ever had.
- The Browns? 6-4? Are you kidding?
