Not too much longer to wait now

by grungedave on Sep 5, 2009 1:16 PM CDT in Random Commentary

With college football season kicking off this week (go SMU!)... and with the NFL pros taking center stage next week (which means fantasy football season is finally here - Andre Johnson better not get injured)...

let us not forget what this really means:

The NBA season tips off in just under 2 months now! Okay, so there won't be any Yao Ming highlights... nor any sightings of Tracy McGrady in 2009 (maybe by January/February?)... and we won't have any more Crazy Pills antics by the home team...

but the good guys still feature Luis Scola (who is going to have a 20/10 season), Shane Battier, Aaron Brooks, new kid Trevor Ariza -- and a bunch of other short guys that might run circles around the rest of the league by finally utilizing Coach Sleepy's offense. Plus, with Joey Dorsey getting playing time (???), that will only give me more material to work with. This I like.

Not much longer to wait now.

ouch

everyone loves a good rivalry smack talk, but comparing the Frogs to the jazz? thats not right sir, just not right. plus thats pretty bold considering smu is gonna bend over in a few weeks when they come to the Fort.

dumb stuff?

Name one dumb thing Daryl Morey has done… (!?!?)

Ok i know you ppl think Morey is God

But he is far from flawless.

I said "dumb"

Just because something didn’t work out doesn’t make it “dumb”…
I’m asking for one time Morey has done something truly dumb.

En garde!

1) T-Mac and Shane (and nothing else) for a power forward (and nothing else) would be dumber than anything Morey has done. That would give the Rockets 3 rotation guards/small forwards, 6 rotation power forwards, and one European style center. It would be a bizarro power forward version of the Golden State team. The suggestions of T-Mac and Landry carries more weight, but even then…
2) Of course the Rockets want to trade T-Mac. Do you have a power forward you want to trade for him? He pretty clearly hasn’t been getting trade offers worth more than his expiring deal, or else the past year of malaise would have resulted in a trade. My guess is that the dumb stuff was the McGrady-for-Shaq style trades that we thankfully never saw. That doesn’t make Morey a god, but it should shield him from ridicule until he resigns McGrady and trades Yao.

I enjoyed that game immensely.

After all, South Park did teach us that mormonism is the correct religion…

I have faith. :P
