Brooklyn Nets: OVERHYPED

I don't mean any harm, but the Nets are a little overhyped. Yes the team has D-Will, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, and Brook Lopez. The Nets also have Kim Kardashian's ex husband Kris Humphries (who's a 10 and 10 guy). A boisterous Russian owner Mikhail Prokohov and New York royalty Jay-Z also are apart of this new franchise. The Barclays Center, which Jay-Z rocked recently, is a beautiful stadium. The team possesses a former Coach Of The Year in Avery Johnson, who is more than capable of coaching a championship contender. With all of these pros and seemingly no cons, there is one problem. The Brooklyn Nets HAVE NOT PLAYED A NBA GAME (I'm not counting the preseason games). In 2011 the Miami Heat were in the same situation, overhyped and unproven. Through their first 17 games the Heat were a dissapointing 9-8. However they turned it around by having the second best record in the Eastern conference. Another thing the Nets must develop is chemistry. Miami had chemistry issues early on, but patched them up as the season progressed. The Nets look good on paper, but let's see how they look after maybe 25-30 games in the regular season. Nuff said. P.S.- I don't feel that they should have their own "The Association" special on NBA TV. In my eyes they haven't earned it.

NFL REFS ARE BACK!

Thank God the REAL NFL refs are back. The NFL has come to terms with the referees, and their labor dispute is over. The NFL was being cheap, due to the fact that they didn't want to pay the referees. It was the same scenario with the players. The Packers vs Seahawks game played a big role in ending the dispute (we all know about that controversial catch and call).

TEAM USA HAS STRUCK GOLD!!!

The 2012 USA Team defeated Spain 107-100. We have won the gold!!! The debate will go on forever 92 Dream or 2012 Team. After these Olympics I think the gap between these 2 great teams is officially closed. Both teams are equally great. Who would win between these two great teams? If you really want to know simulate it on NBA 2k12. Nuff Said.

DWIGHT TO LA!

Superman has finally left Smallville (Orlando) and is headed to Metropolis (LA). Superstar centers tend to leave Orlando for LA (ala Shaq). Shaq won 3 titles, will Dwight do the same? Its definitely possible seeing as he'll have Captain Canada, Gasol, and The Black Mamba as his teammates. If you're an Orlando be prepared for the #1 overall pick in the 2013 draft. Nuff Said.

PENN ST

The NCAA sanctioned Penn St with the following penalties: a $60M fine, a 4 year bowl ban, and scholarship reductions. Penn St is getting what they deserve, after the horrible events that have transpired there.

<p>LINSANITY............. IS HEADED TO TEXAS WHERE EVERYTHING IS BIGGER!!!!! Yeah that's true, but bigger than New York I doubt it. The global icon,the Asian Persuasion, the international superstar Jeremy Lin is headed to the Houston Rockets. Lin came out of nowhere, and not only set the NBA but the world on fire in February. Lin lead the Knickerbockers to a 7 game winning streak, out shining future Hall Of Famers Dirk and Kobe in the games they faced each other. Kobe stated he'd never heard of Lin, after the 46 pt thrashing he gave them Kobe definitely knows who he is now. Lin is set to join a nice cast of young players which includes UCONN star Jeremy Lamb, European big man Donatas Motiejunas, Royce White, and KENTUCKY star Terrence Jones. With this young core of guys the Rockets should creep in the playoffs as the 6th, 7th, or 8th seed. One major question is can Lin do what he did in February in an 82 game season? I believe he can do it, he stepped up when he got an oppurtunity to play so this is another opportunity for him to prove the doubters and haters wrong. Let's be real Melo didn't want Lin back in NY, Lin was stealing his thunder, becoming the man, and Melo couldn't stand it. If he wanted him back he wouldn't call his contract "ridiculous", he'd be telling management to resign him so that they could be in the best position to win with their own Big 3. He didn't do that, too much Haterade instead of Gatorade in his bottle. Lin was winning (linning), Melo and STAT weren't. It'll be more of the same this season. Nuff Said

2012 NBA FREE AGENCY

Steve Nash is going to Hollywood!!! The Nashinator is joining The Black Mamba Kobe Bryant and his LA Lakers, in hopes of capturing that elusive 1st championship. Nash is going to bring a dimension to the Lakers that they haven't had since Magic Johnson. Nash is arguably the best passer in the NBA, and he's the best Pick N Roll PG in the NBA. He has good big men to run the PNR with, Gasol, one of the most skilled bigs in the league, struggled last season due to The Triangle Offense being obsolete in Mike Brown's
"system" ,and the lack of a TRUE PG. Bynum, who is overhyped, immature, but talented, will definitely benefit from Nash's presence. The PNR would transform Bynum into a superstar, just as it did for Amare Stoudemire. What most people dont seem to realize is that this will benefit Kobe also. Kobe was playing like Melo last season ( a plethora of isos and tough shots). Kobe finished 2nd in scoring, due to the fact that he's one of the greatest scorers ever, also because he was seemingly the Lakers only offensive option. Nash will space the floor, allow others to score, and take the pressure off Kobe. My point of view on the situation is the Lakers will be 2 or 3 in the West and they will play the Thunder in the WCF. Will they be victorious we'll see. The Lakers also signed reliable scorer Antwan Jamison, who'll provide a nice scoring punch off the bench or even in the starting lineup over a declining Metta World Peace. Nuff Said.
