Devils and Saints

Apparently Luol Deng's 1 year stay at Duke wasn't long enough for him to assimilate into Duke's culture. Deng was announced as the NBA's sportsmanship award winner today. If he would have stayed at Duke longer he would have absorbed the attributes of all other Duke players. You know, crying after losses, complaining to the refs...elbowing guys named Tyler Hansbrough in the nose because you are losing to their team and they grab an offensive rebound...those kind of things.

The Spurs just made short work of the NBA's hottest team (Nuggets were 9-1 coming into the playoffs). They really are a playoff machine. The Spurs and Suns matchup should make for a really competitive series this time around. Robert Horry is truly amazing. Has anyone hit more clutch shots in their career? Someday his right arm will probably end being in a museum somewhere after it is examined and found to have icewater in the veins. I'm going to say San Antonio wins in 7.

Soriano is starting to earn his money for the Cubs now. Going 6-10 in his last two games with 2 homers. Fellow Cubbie Jason Marquis is proving to be one of the best and cheapest pitching acquisitions of the offseason. Marquis has been money in starting out the season 4-1 with an ERA of 2.09. Things are looking up in Chi-town.

and one more thing...

New England picked up Randy Moss. I think they sent the Raiders a Gatorade cooler

as their part of the deal. Moss will probably catch 70+ passes and the Patriots will probably win the Super Bowl in 08 because that's how Bill Belichick rolls.

Until next time.

Great blog!
-Even in Deng's one year at Duke I liked the guy and the way he played.
-Michael Finley proved me wrong last night. Geez, I hate being wrong! lol
-I agree that the Suns and Spurs series will be great. I like the idea of 7, but the Suns are my pick.
-Bonds is on a roll and so are the Braves. I think it's time for me to jump back on the bandwagon after being off the last two years.
-One more thing I HATE the Milwaukee Brewers.
