Doesnt Add Up

-The Kidd trade finally went through....keeping Stackhouse helps for the Mavs..but giving up Harris and Diop is tough...part for now..which is post defense in Diop..also Harris is the only guy in the league who can counter Tony Parker..but Harris was rounding into an interesting combo guard..I dont know if he'll be a great guard..but he was showing flashes.But in Kidd you get a top point guard in the league right now..leadership...and a above average rebounding guard..depending on the matchups...they can do something..but not much.

-The Spurs traded Francisco Elson and Brent Barry to Seattle for Kurt Thomas....doesnt move you?....it should...heres why..
-There was only one player in the West last year who could "slow" Tim Duncan...Kurt Thomas...everyone was looking for someone to counter Duncan who is the best post player I've ever seen...and the best defender against him is on the bench...see?..remember that the Spurs are the standard in the west no matter the record...the Suns and Lakers are making the biggest splashes..but just remember what they are making them for...and not for each other...

-OJ Mayo recently(last sunday) put up one of the worst stat-lines for a good college player i've seen in a long time...this is what it is
4pts,9rebs,3asts,10tos..

gross..but not all his fault..he played the entire game...you cant do that against a really good UCLA team...

-I'm tired of all this talk about Memphis needs to lose a game...we do this every year...with whatever team...you can be undefeated...there isnt anything wrong with that...but they must be challenged in some games..if you blow everyone out..you wont know what to do when you get behind in the tournament...be challenged..just win..theres a difference

-Another thing I take issue with is players who are 6-4,6-7 and6-9..these players arent undersized...one inch doesnt matter in height for basketball....I wont be convinced otherwise

NBA Games to watch
Boston at Phoenix(Fri,10:30)-This should only really make it must watch if KG plays more than 10 minutes..but even if not..still could be good
New Orleans at San Antonio(Sat 8:30)...The Hornets killed the Spurs last time in SA..think it could happen again?

College Games
Oregon at USC(Thurs,11)-Bubble watch for Oregon...time is running out
UConn at Villanova(Sat,12)-Sneaky team in Villanova...could upset
Drake at Butler(Sat,5)-......I have nothing here...
