The Leprechaun Brought No Luck!

Watching Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers as their chins dropped lower than their draft stock was priceless. Fifth? You get to pick fifth after damn near tanking an entire season just to get the number one pick?

But I love it for so many reasons. Number one, the hated Celtics will not get either Greg Oden, or Kevin Durant. And two, we won't have to see Greg Oden drop double doubles at the Wach for the next fifteen years. We will face him only a couple of times a year and that's a good thing.

Memo to Danny and Doc: Next time play every game during your season like it matters:)

So what do we do at number 12? Well readers of this blog know how I feel about that Dukie, Billy King, calling the shots for my Sixers. But since he will not be going anywhere anytime soon, I guess we are stuck with him making the pick.

So Billy,here is my suggestion:If Julian Wright or Alcie Law is sitting there when you pick ,take them. ( Slight edge to Law) I know we have Andre Miller, but trade Lou Williams (who might end up being a nice player in this league) and go with Law as Miller's back up for now. In the later rounds, go with the best scorer available. We still need points in the line up.

The dead wings broke my heart the other night. How can you lose to the Ducks? I thought the series was a wrap when the Wings had that 1-0 lead in "Hockey Town" during game five. And then..... Oh well, maybe next year. And yes this black man loves him some Red Wings.

It's a Michigan childhood thing, what can I tell you.

Please keep former Vanilla-nova star, Howard Porter in your prayers!

How Can You Tell A Dog?

Nice to see C-Web get his wish and return to his hometown Pistons. Seems like a marriage made in heaven right about now. And C-Web is dreaming of a championship ring for his trophy case. That's all good and well, but did he have to really dog it like he did when he was here in Philly?

I mean come on C-Web, you have a 21.4 career average, and your last 18 games here with my Sixers you averaged 11 ppg, and played zero D. Now I know your knees are shot, but I have been watching you these last couple of games with Detroit, and it seems like right after you cleared waivers, those knees just got so much better. Mmmmmm.

Hey, C-Web, I liked you with the Fab Five, and I was one of the few people in America that didn't kill you for that "time out" thing. But I am starting to wonder my man, are you doing another "Big Dog"; jaking it to get out of town so that you can go collect a ring with the team that you think has a shot to win it all? I mention "Big Dog because that's exactly what he did before going to San Antonio.

I know it was one of your boy hood wishes to play with your hometown team, but the Sixers deserved more than your 11 ppg, and your 20 million hitting their cap.

And speaking of the Sixers, nice win last night against the Shackless Heat, but thanks to their God awful GM, they still stink. A 17 point lead was gone before you can say D-Wade, and they almost blew the game. It took overtime to finally pull it out,and even then, you had to think they would still find a way to lose. So yes folks, it''s official, Billy King is a terrible GM, and I am not surprised, given the fact that he is a fu****g Dukie!

I am going to have to seriously reconsider whether the Sixers should take Greg Oden from OSU if they get the first pick in the draft.( Yes he is coming out) Because my man Kevin Durant is the truth. Twenty four points and ten boards a game average? Are you kidding me? My man is the best thing to come out of Maryland since Stevie Franchise. I think the Longhorns might go deep into this years dance, and if my man decides to leave school....well let's just say that I don't want Billy King making this pick.
