Santa is Good

Go Santa Go – any predictions for these games?

NOH v. ORL - ORL at home – DHoward with 20+ boards, SVG doesn’t smile until end of game.
SAS v PHX – NBA version of old-timers game: someone gets Pop to wear Santa hat, Eva looks dreamy and TD goes to double double routine as the Spurs win by double digits to a tired looking Suns group
BOS v. LAL – We all want the Lakers to fall short and look out of sync – DFish tries to keep them together, but Phil Jackson winces and scowls as the refs keep this one close trying to foul out Perkins, at least 4 Technicals. Someone will knock Pierce and Allen down, probably Ariza Bynum will elbow someone. Truly, I worry the NBA wants the LAL to make this a contest. C ‘s by 7, as they roll into NorCal for tomorrow’s game against GSW, Sunday at ARCO.
DAL v. POR – BRoy is a pleasure to watch. The excitement rides high as the Blazers keep Dirk, Terry at arm’s length to win.
WAS v. CLE – LeBron decides it is time to go Global Icon as the Cavs are up by 18 by end of 1st Q, and we read box score tomorrow..

Merry, Happy to all

WOW with prognostication like that

I have a Jason Thompson sized foot in my mouth. I predicted all but one wrong…and by a long shot.

Keeping my day job.

Merry Xmas

But I have to say I sure wish we could reverse the Miller for hedo trade from a few years ago. This guy is tearing it up.

Napear: "Going in to the final timeout what did the coach tell you?"
Bibby: "I asked the coach if I should go and he said, I don't really know what he said."
