We now enter the offseason. I already miss basketball.

The Los Angeles Lakers are your 2008-09 NBA Champions. Just as I predicted.

Unfortunately the Kobes put an end to Rafer Alston's team too fast! I wanted to watch two more games! Alas, now we enter the lengthy off-season. No more NBA basketball until October. Unless you count the Las Vegas summer league. Which better include Joey Dorsey gorilla-dunking (hey, I need the material!). Release the Kraken!

What the hell am I supposed to do now? Fantasy football drafts don't start for at least another six weeks. The NFL season itself doesn't start until after Labor Day. And do you really think I'm going to pay attention to the Astros? (That's obviously rhetorical as the answer is "no"). At least the Texans were entertaining when they sucked...

just wondering...

but whatever happened to joey dorsey this year? is there any word on his development or how he faired this year? i mean i know he got zero playing time, but any words of wisdom?

plantar fasciitis

His foot never healed… and he couldn’t break through the Scola/Landry/Hayes trio for playing time.

He’ll be more useful next year I am sure.

The fact that we have acquired the CumSlinger

makes it harder to wait for the Texans season to start. Will the Dream Shake be doing a Fantasy League?

Whoa buddy!

I know you’re not talking about the Rex Cannon! Sexy Rexy is the best thing since sliced bread.

When he’s playing, it’s a great feeling. You know he’s going to screw up. Spectacularly.

It’s always epic.

Plus, there’s this.

How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!

do not insult the Sex Cannon.

Do an offseason forecast/preview?

Someone on Silver Screen and Roll did a really nice, thorough salary/cap, trade potentials, expiring contracts, and draft related discussion on the Lakers. I can’t find it, but something similar should be done with the Rockets. You know, basic stuff: How much caproom the Rox have, the implications of signing or not signing Artest, potential acquisitions (Ariza, Odom?), the McGrady situation, trading up in the draft (will Morey trade up for Jordan Hill, surprising everyone?), or does the last sentence make sense because I don’t even think we have draft picks. I hope someone devotes their time to this. It would take me a long time to come up with something substantive.

agreed.

Oh, and the lakers still suck. Regardless

Last Time I Looked The Astros Were 4gms Out Of First place?

Yo Bro
Really Come On Man You Cant Just Count The Stros Out Not Just Yet Buddy.
Check Your Stats Before You Start Yappin
The Texans Look Like This Will Finally Be Their Breakout Season (Via The Colts Players We Signed)
Dorsey Better Come Back With A Game Let Him WorkOut With The Dream Or K.Willis
If Not Pros vs Joes Always Seem To Have A Hall Of Famer Or Two On Hand.
As For The L.A. Fakers Its Just Another Ring That Stern Bought Up For Kobe Just Like The One Kobe Bought To Bribe Off His Now Wifey…. Also The Colorado Chick Got Bought Off A Rape Case So Rings Arent Hard To Find…

blasphemy.

the Astros are just boring!

by grungedave on Jun 16, 2009 12:32 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

hey, the Astros aren't boring

they just suck. It’s actually fairly exciting to watch them struggle against their own lack of talent and Cooper’s inept management, as well as the other team.

Besides, you can play the “when is reliever X going to collapse from overuse?” game.

Offseason time!

Bring on the rumors! Trading up for Rubio? Interest in Gortat?

What do you think about Turkoglu opting out? Would you rather re-sign Artest or go after Hedo?

by goingforthecorner on Jun 15, 2009 8:35 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

no, no, no, GFTC

none of those are ridiculous enough. We need to model our offseason threads on the ClutchFans model, as seen here: e-stalking T-Mac via random twitter accounts and coming up with idiotic trades like “McGrady for Kevin Martin, filler, and the 4th draft pick.”

Better idea:

how about we all talk about how great this KSK post is. I’ll start:

1) Perfectly captures Kobe’s asshole nature.
2) Lampoons his fake bullshit.
3) Exposes, once again, how ridiculous the whole “Player X won the championship” argument is.
