Dwayne Wade is the man. He is skyrocketing up the rankings for guys you would give in answer to the question: If you were starting a franchise right now, who would be your first pick?

I keep hearing that Dallas has accused Wade of faking his recent knee injury. What? Why would he do that exactly? Did he supposedly think Dallas might decide to change thier whole gameplan on the speculation that he might not play even though he said the entire time that he was going to play? Dallas is losing it in more ways than one.

What did that exercise bike ever do to Dirk?

While Mickleson was bouncing balls of the hospitality tent at the Open yesterday, why was everyone harping so much on his shot selection and not as much on the fact that he was just generally sucking?

I love Johnny Miller and all, but I've never heard a commentator work his own records and stats into a discussion more than he does. Not cool.

The Giants are looking good. They're hitting, they're pitching, they're getting swept by the crappy Mariners. Dang it!!!!!

The refs do not lose games for a team, but Dallas has some legitimate gripes. The calls did seem very one sided. Look for a makeup performance giving the Mavs the calls in game 6 followed by one last (for this season) epic Wade carrying his team performance for the win in game 7.

Wade totally deserved the MVP!

He carried the Heat through those bad Shaq games.

Some quick thoughts

A few quick sports thoughts for you today: I don’t understand why people don’t talk about how much Tyler Hansborough looks like a really tall Frodo Baggins. Also, why does he have such a bad haircut? I think the teams in the Western Conference should be afraid of Denver. They are playing as well as anyone outside of LA and Melo hasn’t even started playing well yet. What if this is the year that Nene and Kmart actually stay healthy and Karl becomes a big game coach? Oh yeah, forget everything I just said. Oh well, at least the trade helped Billups on my fantasy team. I can’t figure out why the Blazers don’t throw lobs to Oden. There is no play where this is even attempted. Yeah, he is still getting his legs back and doesn’t jump out of the gym, but he jumps well and is 7 freakin feat tall. Do the Blazers (other than Sergio) not know how? Does coach Nate hate lobs? It seems like Oden could get 8 points a game just by either running to the hoop on pick and rolls like Tyson Chand...
SOME PLAYOFF OBSERVATIONS I just took a welcomed brake from preparing for trial to watch the Miami v. Detroit game 3. Obviously this was a huge game for Miami and the next one is just as big, but I’m not chiming in to break down the game, but rather to offer a few observations about both the series going on right now. 1. Why do Antoine Walker’s coaches allow him to shoot so many 3s? If I were coaching him, I would tell him that if he ever shot a 3 that wasn’t wide, wide open or if his 3 to drive ratio fell below 5-1, he would sit the bench. Walker is an incredibly talented player and when he attacks the rim both he and the Heat are a much, much, much better team. When you play defense like a matador, you better do more than just miss a bunch of 3s on the other end. He was great tonight just because he took the ball in. It’s not complicated, so why is it so inconsistent? 2. What happened to Gary Payton? He was one of my favorite players for years and years after leaving OSU and playing ...
Why was Charles Barkley dressed like Tony Soprano tonight? What was with the gold medalion and the open collar? Do they not have wardrobe people at TNT? And seriously, what happened to Magic? I've put on a few extra pounds as I've aged, but he's put on a few extra people. To think that he was once an elite athelete running a fast paced team is astonishing. That he is a spokesperson for 24 hour fitness is hilarious. I know it is looking like Dallas is going to beat Phoenix, but what happens if Phoenix plays Miami? Will Shaq score 60 points or not be allowed off the bench because his man will be open for 3 all night? That is the goofiest matchup I can imagine, and I'm not even sure I want to watch it play out. It's just wrong somehow. Dallas/Miami though would be epic. Man, I hope Miami beats Detroit. 715 was hit today. I honestly believe that all Bonds ever wanted out of baseball was to be considered in the conversation for who was the best ever. The guy who acts lik...
