D.J. Hits the Lottery

Most NBA mock drafts had D.J. Augustin going in the first round at the 11th spot to Indiana but when the Pacers picked up another former Longhorn  - T.J. Ford  - in a trade last night, Augustin was expected to slide. Instead he moved up into the Top 10. Charlotte took D.J. at the #9 spot in […]

Is it gambling if you give your winnings away?

Charles Barkley says no.
Four short weeks after the Wynn Casino had to sue Sir Charles for welching on $400 thousand of markers and saying on a TNT broadcast, “For right now, the next year or two, I’m not going to gamble,” Charles decided to get back on the horse. He is entered in a […]

Roger Federer vs. Tiger Woods
Andy Kaufman vs. Jerry “The King” Lawler
Jorvorskie Lane vs. Doritos
Hold that thought, because someone is trying to make The List.
The Link

Fudging Isn’t Just For The Castro

Some quick impressions:
The fact that they have them test in bench […]

Never Underestimate Certain Organs in a Champion

Sorry about the title but it was either that or “Spurs Sting the Hornets in 7” or “Bzzz Kill for New Orleans.”
The Spurs held off a late surge from the Hornets to win game 7 on the road, 91 – 82.
Manu Ginobili, bald and unorthodox, once again coldly euthanizes another opponent, scoring 26 and […]

DJ to enter the draft

He won’t be hiring an agent, though. Again, this makes financial sense for the young man, but he has to be concerned with this year’s guard crop. The following lead guards are all likely to be taken in front of him: Rose, Mayo, Bayless, Eric Gordon, Collison, and Westbrook. If DJ performs […]

AJ Abrams to test NBA draft waters

At least according to Fox Sports. Well, if there’s one thing we can gather from this stunning turn of events it’s that AJ doesn’t get TNT. My lord, he’s half a foot shorter than JJ Redick and not nearly the scorer. Every other sub-6′ guard in the NBA can handle and create. […]
