Congrats and Two Suggestions

First, 'grats on making the move to SBN. This is definitely the best Rockets blog around.

Secondly, though, two ideas:

1. Just to set the tone and get everyone up to speed, you might want to do the whole Hakeem v. Shaq/Robinson post.

2. How about a Dream Shake Fantasy Basketball league? I know I'd play and, judging by the success other SBN blogs have had in fielding leagues, it should not be hard to get 12 teams for a head-to-head format.

fantasy league?

MDC, I can’t speak for Lee but I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy basketball – I love FFL but basketball leagues frustrate me because the numbers/categories are so imprecise.

As for a Hakeem/Robinson post… yeah, we might do one when we play the Spurs.

As for a Hakeem/FatAss post… I’m sick of talking about the FatAss. But I’ll probably write something when the Suns come to town.

Like what you've done with the place

Hey, congratulations again on the new digs. I will very much be a regular visitor this season. If you ever read my blog – you know how I feel about the Tennessee Titans and their fans – well, I assure you – when it comes to bball season, I bring the same heat for the Jazz..

So that’ll be fun. I wonder how RonRon will react to AK-47’s annual fit of hysterical crying?

Definitely read your site and we are always up for some Jazz haters. We have a nice little rivalry with TrueBlueJazz and SLCDunk

Nice as in - good-natured?

That will take some getting used to.

It's good natured in that we respect the other bloggers, not their team

Your house, your rules.

I will do my best to not get banned once we line up with the Jazz. :D

Don't get me wrong, the Jazz freaking suck

yeah, it's a narrow distinction there

Most of the Utah Jazz bloggers seem like cool guys. Except for the fact that they live in Utah, can’t drink and are afraid to yell “fuuuuck!” when necessary. Yes, they all require their blogs to be family friendly. Makes it hard for me to not get banned.

On the flip side… the basketball team… the Utah Jazz?? Fuck ’em.

THAT's what I'm talkin' about

I look forward to many disparaging posts.

By the way – years after his retirement – I still LOVE to talk about how much I hate the “Granite Vagina,” Karl Malone. The scariest man ever in the NBA to be knocked over by skinny white guys half his height.

Remember that time when Malone ran right through a pick, demolishing the physically-inferior person setting the pick?

Yeah, me neither.
