Flashback Fridays: LeBron is Struggling Against C's - Needs Home Court, Barkley - "I'm a Dumbass!"
May 9, 2008
When a superstar player struggles critics usually say it's more "him" than the defense, but let's give some credit to Baahston and it's D because whatever they're doing is working. Now, I know why the L awarded KG the Defensive Player of The Year because that whole team, when it wants to, slides over man-to-man or zone great and really buckles down.
The Celtics went up on Cleveland 2-0 last night and continued to give LeBron's fits.
King James went 6-for-24 from the field for 21 points, bringing his series total to 8-for-42. Damn, homie! Yea, I'd call that struggling. Even the C's are surprised.
"I'm a little shocked that he's 8-for-42, but this is what we work on. We work on trying to contain him," Paul Pierce told the Associated Press. "LeBron is what makes them go. And if we can somehow control him, we control their team. And with the help of the guys around me, we've been able to do that."
Yea, Pierce is pretty much on point with that statement. The Celtics are D'ing up on LeBron real well right now. Maybe, all LeBron needs is some Cleveland home cooking to get it going to possibly drop a gem like this, when he spanked the Knicks for 50 points in the Garden.
Y'all think LeBron will bounce back in Games 3 & 4 to officially make this a series!?
The Spurs made their series a series last night. Now, let's see if LeBron can do the same for the Cavs because we all know if he doesn't, it's not like Jermaine, Marlon, Tito or Jackie will.
Moving on, there's been a running joke on TNT that Charles Barkley will read anything on a teleprompter. Well, thanks to Ernie Johnson's prank, we now know that it's true. This ish is funny as hell. It will get your weekend off with a smile:

NBA or NFL - Which League is More Hood!?
May 8, 2008
I was thinking about the Indianapolis Colts' Marvin Harrison recently bussin' his gun and the New Jersey Nets' Richard Jefferson being charged with assault and something hit me.
These cats are supposed to be relatively QUIET, NICE GUYS IN THEIR SPORTS! SOHH when the "quiet, nice guys" act up, it really hits the leagues hard.
This just got me thinking, we hear about either NFL cats or hoop starts acting up all the time, right?
SOHH which league is more hood - the NBA or NFL!? I'm SOHH Hooood!
I mean, both leagues have former players, turned killas and you don't get much more HOOD than that.
O.J. ran amok in the NFL and then we all watched him do this. Damn killa (pardon the pun).
And let's not forget former Carolina Pather Rae Carruth, who murdered his girl back in '01 and is still serving his prison bid. SMH.
The NBA had Jayson Williams, who shot and killed his limo driver with a rifle amidst his drunken stupor.
Away from the (alleged & confirmed) killers, each league has dudes doing stupid things. Carmelo Anthony driving drunk right before the playoffs. Idiot! And MARVIN bussin' guns after years of probably being harrassed for having the name MARVIN.
Ron Artest jumped into the stands, trying to snuff the cat that threw a beer at him, while Jermaine O'Neal snuffed some dude right on the court during the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl.
I think the NFL is more hood just because they have more players and at any given time an offensive lineman you never heard of can pop off and get into trouble with the strong arm of the law.
While I think it's important to stress that most of the players in both leagues are good dudes, who DON'T get in trouble, a lot still do.
SOHH I'll ask again ... WHICH LEAGUE IS MORE HOOD - THE NBA OR NFL!? You're going to want to holla at me about this, maaaan!

Watch Kobe Accept MVP Award, LeBron Pulls A Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley's Ass (Pause)
May 7, 2008
It's official - Kobe Bryant aka the best player on the planet has won his first MVP award. SOHH much for thinking that the award was going to be a close race between KB24 and Chris Paul ... Kobe ran away with it.
Bryant received 82 first-place votes and 1,100 points in the media vote to Paul's 28 first-place votes and 894 points. Not as close as we all expected. Peep Kobe accepting his first MVP award. Dude also said he wants to be a Laker for life.
Definite congrats out to Kobe. Dude trusts his teammates and they trust him. He deserves it. Moving on, I couldn't believe how LeBron James played last night.
I mean 2-for-18 for 12 points and 10 turnovers. Horrible. And with all that, King James still had a chance late to keep the Cavs in it, but missed a layup ... much like your man Patrick Ewing did against the Pacers back in the day. THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE DUNKED THAT BALL! Anyway, LeBron ain't having another game like that this series. How long is this series going?
Finally, Charles Barkley ain't one to ever bite his tongue. Here, he talks about the secret of being a shorter player and having to defend a taller forward or even center. Barkley said it's all about the "ass." Ha! You gotta love Sir Charles.
It was all about "my butt - which is huge."
Peep.

The Spurs Have a Problem - His Name is CP3, Is It a Wrap For San Antonio!? Pistons Screw Magic, NFL's Marvin Harrison Busting Gun!?
May 6, 2008
Ok, Ok ... your boy Ballsy ain't gassed anymore. Down 2-0, the world champion Spurs are in TROUBLE and I don't care if they're playing the next two games in San Antonio.
Chris Paul is killing them! They need first aid. CP3 is about to send Tony Parker back home to f**king his wife Eva Longoria a little earlier than expected.
I mean David West drops 30 points in Game 1, CP3 had 30 points and 12 assists last night. The 101-82 final in Game 1 was nearly identical to last night's 102-84 final in Game 2.
WHAT'S GOING ON IS NO FLUKE, PEOPLE! THE SPURS CAN'T FIGURE 'EM OUT!
Peep CP3 in action. Key in on :30. Dude has a knack of finding his guy. He always knows where he's going with the ball.
SOHH I'm going to ask: DOWN 2-0 IS IT A WRAP FOR THE SPURS!?
Moving on, the Magic caught a raw deal in the D last night, allowing the Pistons to go up 2-0.
Mr. Big Shot hit a 3 that should have never counted at the end of the third quarter. He hit the long bomb with 0.5 seconds left in the third, only after the clock FROZE at 4.8 seconds. Watch it here.
Tough break, Orlando. Chauncey said it best after.
"It's tough to be on the other end of that play," Billups told the AP. "But I'll take it."
As you should, homie. Luck is always a factor. What are your thoughts? My thing is, who the f**k was operating that clock!? I mean, Jeeeesus ... if you can't press a couple of buttons, life can't be looking too bright for you.
Finally, and I hate to switch gears on y'all, but I still can't believe Marvin Harrison was (ALLEGEDLY) bussin his gun outside his own car wash in Philly last week. I mean, that's pretty hood. I always thought dude was "the quiet one." He doesn't even celebrate after catching touchdowns from Peyton Manning.
You would think that if someone was going to get caught cappin' fools it would be Shawn Merriman, who does the machine-gun celebration after a sack, or Bill Belichick after taking himself through a guilt trip for cheating. I mean, his name is MARVIN for God sake.
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!? IT CAN GO DOWN WITH ANYONE ANYWHERE. YA NEVER KNOW!
Aftermath Mondays: Watch Celtics Smack Hawks & Kobe Run on Jazz, Can Hornets/Pistons Make It 2-0 Tonight?
May 5, 2008
Maan, I don't know about y'all, but I was pulling for the Atlanta Hawks to win Game 7 against the Celtics last night. The Hawks had a great series. I mean, who would have ever thought it would be a legit series in the first place? But the one problem with the Hawks: They couldn't win in Boston.
Yesterday was no exception. The C's just went in on Atlanta. Too much Big 3, too much bench, too much Baahston.
Peep here, especially around the :48 mark, where you'll see Marvin Williams f**king clothesline Rajon Rondo and get thrown out the game. There's good, hard playoff basketball, but this is one of the dirtiest plays you'll ever see, kid. Watch.
I don't know about y'all, but I for one would actually like to see King James conquer the Big 3. How about y'all!?
Moving on, the soon-to-be official MVP Kobe Bryant did it all against the Jazz yesterday. I'm talking pull-ups, drives to the lane, leading the fastbreak. Best player on the planet. Peep.
Be Clear, though ... this is going to be a series. An easy six games.
Ok, I saved the best for last ... did y'all see the Hornets-Spurs Game 1 on Saturday night!? In case ya didn't:
Yea, yea, it's one game ... I know, I know. But yo, the Hornets didn't just win. They beat 'em. CP3 picked the Spurs apart and David West did the damn thing. I'm going to tell y'all right now ... if the Hornets win tonight and go up 2-0, this series is OVER!
Did the Hornets' Game 1 victory change your opinion on this series!? Holla at me, maaan!

Flashback Fridays: Chris Paul Punches Bruce Bowen in The Nuts - It's Going to Get Ugly Between Hornets and Spurs, but N.O. CAN Win!
May 2, 2008
This New Orleans Hornets-San Antonio Spurs series is going to be extra physical, mainly because Bruce Bowen will be sticking to Chris Paul like white on rice. Trust.
Don't believe me!? Watch what happened when the teams met during a REGULAR SEASON game earlier this year.
If you watch this clip closely, you'll not only see CP3 punch Bowen in the nuts, but Bruce kicking Paul in the chest. CRAZY!
I don't think the Hornets can match up physically with the Spurs, but they can still beat the defending champion. In terms of straight scoring, Paul and Tony Parker may just offset each other in every game. Paul will gain the advantage in getting teammates involved MORE than Parker. Then, David West aka the X-factor will need to have big games. Same with N.O.'s shooters, shooters, shooooters. Peeps don't forget ... N.O. has two All-Stars on its squad.
And they have beat the Spurs before. Peep.
CAN THE HORNETS DETHRONE THE SPURS? WHO'S WINNING, HOW, AND HOW MANY GAMES!? SERIES STARTS SATURDAY NIGHT!
Shaq Experiment Didn't Work in Phoenix, Kidd Non-Factor In Dallas - Blow Both Squads Up!? Should Diesel Retire!?
May 1, 2008
With no playoff games on schedule tonight, your boy Ballsy wants to reflect on the experiments that didn't work - I'm talking Shaq with Phoenix and Jason Kidd with Dallas.
Maan, did those two cats look old in those series.
I mean look at the way, Tim Duncan took advantage when Shaq - breathing all heavy - was on the bench with foul trouble. Then peep how Shaq has no luck with Duncan either at about the 1:00 mark.
And don't get me started on Kidd. You know Byron Scott loved watching his point guard Chris Paul take Kidd (Scott's old point guard and the man that stabbed him in the back) anywhere he wanted to go on the court.
Just watch the first :16 of this clip and you'll be good. Where were you at Kidd!?
SOHH I ask: BEING THAT THE EXPERIMENTS DIDN'T WORK, SHOULD PHOENIX AND DALLAS JUST BLOW UP THEIR SQUADS AND START HEAVY REBUILDING!?
SHOULD SHAQ RETIRE?
And ... ARE THE MAVS WRONG FOR FIRING AVERY JOHNSON SOHH QUICK!?
I feel like Mark Cuban really played Avery. After losing on Tuesday night, Avery was saying he and Cuban were going to talk things over. Well, Cuban didn't need to. Done. What do y'all think? Holla at me, maaaan!

We Major Wednesdays: Dwight Howard and Chris Paul Are Future of The L, But Can Magic Beat Pistons, N.O. Get Past Spurs!?
April 30, 2008
Aside from Kobe and LeBron, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard have been the MVPs of the first round.
I mean Dwight Howard aka Superman finishing off the Raptors with a 21-point, 21-rebound Game 5, his third 20-20 game of the series. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? That's complete dominance. Peep some of his highlights here.
And MVP Chris Paul ... SMH. Dude is looking like one of the best point guards to EVER PLAY THE GAME! I think it was poetic justice that CP3 finished off the Mavs last night with a 24-point, 15-assist, 11-rebound triple double against 'Mr. Triple Dub' Jason Kidd. Maan, did CP make Kidd look old. Damn. Pick this clip up from the :52 mark. Tyson Chandler gets rejected, CP grabs rebound and hits looong fadeaway. That boy is badd.
OK, SOHH I MUST ASK: CAN CHRIS PAUL LEAD THE HORNETS TO A SECOND-ROUND WIN OVER THE SPURS? CAN DWIGHT HOWARD POWER THE MAGIC PAST THE PISTONS!?
I ain't gassed by their first-round wins, but honest to God ... I can see both the Hornets and Magic advancing. Both are young teams. The Spurs and Pistons? (In Borat voice) Ehh not SOHH much.
I guess it's one of those things, where I have to see them do it to believe it. But N.O. can run on San Antonio, even though CP vs. Tony Parker will be a lot more even than CP vs. Kidd was. Don't be surprised if that crafty bastard Pop puts BUTCH Bruce Bowen on permanent CP-harrassing duty. Still, the series is going deep. Easily six games. Charles Barkley picked N.O. to win it last night.
Moving on, the Magic-Pistons is going to be good too (Yes, I'm looking past the Sixers - Sorry Philly). There's no way in hell that Deeeetroit Basket-ball is going to allow Dwight to put up 20-20 games, but like the Hornets, the Magic got a nice lil' squad going. I think this one will go at least six too.
SOHH what are your thoughts? Holla at me, maaaan!

Who Would Have Thought Hawks Would Take 2 From Celtics!? Kobe & Dwight Ether Competition, Josh Howard Smokes That Weed!
April 29, 2008
Dear Joe Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks,
I'm sorry I underestimated your asses! Just last week on SOHH Sports, I said the Hawks don't have a chance and the series is going to be a snooze. Well, I'm happy to be wrong. I still think Bahston is going to win, but the Celtics have definitely got more from this series than they thought.
That Celtics-Hawks game last night was genuinely exciting. To watch the Hawks knot the series at 2-2 was crazy. I love how Zaza Pachulia didn't back down from Kevin Garnett. KG was probably like, "Who the f**k is this guy!?"
Peep the altercation here:
Then Joe Johnson - dude's All-Star caliber and nobody on the Celtics could guard him - finished Bahston off.
How much are y'all surprised by the Hawks and Sixers, that they were each able to take two games from the Celtics and Pistons!? Will either squad stretch their series to seven games!?
Moving on, I must say, Kobe Bryant is like a prize fighter in that, when he sees you staggering, he goes in for the knockout, the kill. That's what KB24 did last night, knocking out the Nuggets.
How many games do you think the soon-to-be Lakers-Jazz series will go!?
Dwight Howard and the Magic finished off the Raptors (Take that Canada!) last night and get this - Superman had 21 points to match his 21 rebounds, his third 20-20 game in the series! Yea, that's pretty much the reason Toronto lost. SMH at Chris Bosh. Bulk up, homie!
The following news is a few days old, but what do y'all think about Josh Howard admitting he smokes weed in THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAYOFFS!? SMH.
Finally, Pat Riley's coward ass quit as Heat coach, Byron Scott was named Coach of The Year (well deserved and should thank his assistant coach on the floor Chris Paul), and Hedo Turkoglu got Most Improved Player.
THOUGHTS?

Ballsy's NFL Draft Report Card - How Did Your Favorite Team Do?
April 27, 2008
The second round of the NFL Draft is still going on, SOHH in the meantime, your boy Ballsy wanted to talk first round. A lot of teams got better, some didn't address much. SOHH heeeere we go:
No. 1 Miami Dolphins - Jake Long, OL (Michigan)- Be clear, this was Bill Parcells' pick. You can't do anything without an offensive line and Jake's a big boy, but the Dolphins are still a season away from making the playoffs. A-
No. 2 St. Louis Rams - Chris Long, DE (Virginia)-The Rams were either going to take Chris Long or Glenn Dorsey. I love how Long keeps running, though and he is the seed of Howie. You couldn't go wrong with either one. A
No. 3 Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan, QB (Boston College)There was a lot of speculation that Matt Ryan would be the dude to take a free fall and slip down on the board and inside of teams war rooms, but uh uh, didn't happen. To be honest, I don't think dude is even the best QB in the Draft. I think Joe Flacco's better. But with Vick in the doghouse (pardon the pun), Ryan's an upgrade ya diiig. B+
No. 4 Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden, RB (Arkansas)Maan, Jets fans were tight yesterday at Radio City, when the Raiders swiped Darren McFadden (pictured by Sporting News, trying to get fly for the Draft)
And they should be tight! McFadden's the nicest, most dynamic player in this class. He's going to make Al Davis aka Skeletor and Raider Nation proud. (An Ice Cube) YAYEEE YAYEEE! A+
No. 5 Kansas City Chiefs - Glenn Dorsey, DT (LSU)With Dorsey slipping in projections from second to fifth, the Chiefs had to take him. If the Rams took Dorsey, the Chiefs would have taken Long. Simple as that. Both win. High Fivee! A
No. 6 New York Jets - Vernon Gholston, DE (Ohio State)I love Ghooool-ston. Pardon my Doc. Evil. Nah, the Jets definitely missed out on adding the instant offensive punch that they needed with McFadden, but Gholston's an absolute BEAST on the defensive side. The Jets will still lose games because a lack of offensive production and are many pieces away from being a winner again, but Vernon will be great. Chuuuch. Y'all gotta see this tackle he made at OSU. Why the f**k are the broadcasters SOHH calm!? I woulda been yellin. Dude clotheslined that running back. Peep: B+
No. 7 New Orleans Saints - Sedrick Ellis, DT (Southern Cal)N.O. wanted Dorsey in the worst way, SOHH when he flew off the board at 5, Ellis had to be its choice ... and they had to move up to get him. Good job. A
No. 8 Jacksonville Jaguars - Derrick Harvey, DE (Florida)The Jaguars jumped from No. 26 to 8. Yeah, um, something tells me the Jags had Derrick Harvey well covered. I'm all about making an already-good defense better. A
No. 9 Cincinnati Bengals - Keith Rivers, LB (USC) With all due respect to Keith Rivers, I don't think drafting a linebacker will make Ocho Cinco stay, but then again ... what will!? B-
No. 10 New England Patriots - Jerod Mayo, LB (Tennessee)Pop-Quiz: Why did the Patriots lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl!? What's that ... a failure in mounting any kind of defensive attack!? Ding, ding, ding! SOHH, getting a linebacker was NEEDED, especially considering Tedy Bruschi, Junior Seau and Mike Vrabel are old as dirt. Still, if I'm a Pats fan (when hell freezes over ... and over), I woulda liked to see Belichick be more aggressive and try to move up to get a better defensive player, with his cheating ass. C+
SOHH that's my 1 through 10, yaa diiig!
Skipping around to other significant first-round picks:
No. 18 Baltimore Ravens - Joe Flacco, QB (Delaware)SOHH Joe Flacco played at small-ass Delaware, which is part of the Colonial Athletic Association, but dude has the biggest arm in the Draft. Dude's the best QB in this class. Watch y'all will see. He has a gun for an arm and at 6-6, 238 ... he should be able to endure a big NFL hit. Then the Ravens added my man Ray Rice from Rutgers with their second-round pick. I like how B-More drafted. Flacco's the future. A
No. 22 Dallas Cowboys - Felix Jones, RB (Arkansas)Felix Jones was McFadden's runningmate in Arkansas. Now he'll be teaming with Marion Barber, the most physical back in the game. Don't sleep. B-
No. 23 Pittsburgh Steelers - Rashard Mendenhall, RB (Illinois)Ok, Ok ... here's the sleeper of the first round since everyone and their mama are on that Flacco bandwagon. I actually thought Mendenhall could have come off the boards earlier. Dude did work in the IU. B
No. 31 New York Giants - Kenny Phillips, Safety (Miami)In a brief interview on the Draft stage at Radio City, Brandon Jacobs made a great point. Although the Giants came alive in the playoffs to win the Super Bowl, they did finish the regular season 10-6. If you only look at that record, you realize there is room for improvement. I like that the Giants used their pick to try to shore up their secondary. B-

Flashback Fridays: The Best & Worst of Draft Fashion!
April 25, 2008
Here's the homie, Arkansas running back and soon-to-be NFL SUPERSTAR Darren McFadden being outfitted and threaded up for his Draft day suit and ayo, I ain't madd! Ain't nothing wrong with getting help and hooked up.
Photo jacked from Sporting News - http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=403809
After all, Ballsy's Draft Fashion Rule No. 1 - You gotta try to look as good as you play ya diiig!?
McFadden can ball like a boss hog. Believe it. GET FAMILIAR!
The Draft-suit effort is needed, kid. God forbid, you walk up to shake the Commish's hand, wearing some bullshit like this:
Joakim Noah with the Bizzy Bone, Fraggle Rock, Marlon Wayans look.
Drew Gooden with the 'This-might-as-well-be-a-straight-jacket-suit' No buttons!? Maniac!
The Dream with the Coming-to-America-and-going-to-the-prom look.
And my favorite Draft suit of all time ... Jalen Rose. Game got that same joint.
SMH. Now, hold up, hold up ... I know these are NBA draft pics, but I'm using them to make a point. SOHH don't be laughing at McFadden seeking outside help. You don't want a pic like the aforementioned on your dresser the rest of your life, ya diiig!? WTF was Joakim Noah thinking!?
Ballsy's Draft Fashion Rule No. 2 - Clean is Mean ... CHUUUUCH!
Take a page from Reggie 'I Bang Kim K Errrry Night' Bush and Jamarcus Russell (dude looks like Tigga).
SOHH, what are the best and worst Draft fashions of all time!? Who dresses better - NBA or NFL? Holla at me, maaan!
Check in with SOHH Sports tomorrow, for I, the Ballsy One, will be posting my exclusive mock draft. I can't f**k up Jake Long at No. 1, ha! Peace!

Watch Kobe Drop 49 on Enver, Nuggets Are F**ked! What Would You Do Against Him!?
April 24, 2008
OH MY GOD! KOBE WENT OFF LAST NIGHT!
This man is devastating! I mean kisses off the glass, pull-ups on J.R. Smith galore, drives past 'Melo, fast-break dunks with A.I. rushing to get out the way. My man is too cold and vicious. He's the best f**king player on the planet. Who's better!?
KB-24 did it all last night. I mean, he was being smart. Realizing Enver has no D and refuses to play it, Kobe simply stepped up his aggressiveness. It's why the Nuggets are f**ked in this series. They're trying to win a shootout against the best player on the planet. Ain't gonna work, fellas. I could talk and talk about how much of a killa Kobe is ... but it might be easier to watch.
Peep him drop 49 last night:
Kobe scored 16 of his 20 first-quarter points in the final 41/2 minutes of the period. THE MVP then scored 19 points in a length of 4:19 in the fourth quarter.
The final line on Bryant: 42 minutes played, 18-for-27 shooting from the field, 8-of-9 from the foul line, four rebounds and 10 assists for 49 points. SMH. DAMN!
Funny thing is A.I. and 'Melo combined for 54 points, but didn't play a lick of defense, SOHH who cares?
SOHH my question to y'all is if you're George Karl and the Enver Nuggets how in the hell would you handle Kobe in Game 3!? Holla at me, maan!

We Major Wednesdays: Who Should The Knicks Hire as New Head Coach!?, KG Wins Def. POY, Chris Paul & Dwight Howard Bring The Business!
April 23, 2008
Since this guy sucked running the Knicks for four UGLY years, the organization must look ahead to fill the head coach vacancy.
Here are Ballsy's top candidates for Knicks head coach:
Mark JacksonA New York, NY guy and former Knick. Has helped Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller develop into great players as their point guard, although he never copped an NBA ring and has no NBA coaching experience AT ALL! Yet, he seems to be the odds-on-favorite front runner. I like Mark, man, but just because you were a solid point guard in your playing career and you're smooth behind the broadcast booth doesn't mean you can do the job, especially with the Knicks. The Knicks should be more careful because we found out the hard way what can happen with a former point guard leading your team ... and Isiah won championships in Detroit!
Patrick EwingPatrick Ewing's name ain't coming up in the shuffle and I don't know why! After all, he's the former Knick WITH coaching experience, not Mark Jackson. All Jackson's done was sit behind the broadcast booth. Pat has served as an assistant coach for Orlando and Houston. WHY NOT GIVE HIM A CHANCE!?
Herb WilliamsFormer Knick Charles Oakley thinks Herb's the guy for the job: http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/ny-spweboak0423,0,1524914.story
Jeff Van Gundy
I doubt Van Gundy would ever want to return to NY. He's too comfortable talking in the booth now. But dude's a solid coach.
SOHH THE $1 MILLION QUESTION: WHO SHOULD REPLACE ISIAH AS THE KNICKS NEW HEAD COACH!? HOLLA AT ME, MAAAAN!
Moving on to some playoffs last night:
Ayo, I WOULD PAY TO SEE CHRIS PAUL OR DWIGHT HOWARD PLAY. FOR REAL!
Chris Paul had 32 points and 17 assists (WOW...17 dimes) to lead the Hornets to a 127-103 victory over the Mavericks last night, giving them a 2-0 series lead. Yeaa, umm, something tells me CP3 is winning the point guard matchup against Jason Kidd SOHH far. Just a hunch, ya diiiig!
Not to be outdone ... Dwight Howard had 29 points and 20 rebounds, marking his second straight 20-20 game. Something tells me you Raptors ain't winning sh*t, as long as DH is dropping numbers like that on you. I mean, JESUS! That man is SUPERMAN!
Peep him go to work here:
Spurs up on the Suns, 2-0. SMH. I knew that sh*t was going to happen, maan. Phoenix had to take Game 1. That was their game. The Spurs are too crafty. Now Phoenix is down 2-0. One loss in Phoenix will do the Suns in. SMH. This COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIES!
Finally, KG was named the Defensive Player of The Year. Somewhere Bruce Bowen is plotting to injure him. I just know it! KG - Watch your back!
