March Madness

Just sneaking in a post during halftime of the last thursday march madness game. I was perfect in my bracket today up until duke blew a 13-point lead and lost to virgnia commonwealth. That was also the only upset of the day, if u don't count mich. st. #9 beating marquette #8. I got kansas winning it in my money pool. C'mon bill self. But lemme get some NBA in.

Am I reading this right? J-Kidd in an awful shooting slump, 28% in march. That's horrid. Big Shot Billups is also struggling for buckets. That's the trade-off between most PG's: Good FT%, bad FG%. Big men: Good FG%, bad FT%. Nature of the beast unless u have d-wade, yao, or someone gifted like that. (wally sczerbiak as a less elite example.)

Al Jefferson is continuing his beastliness. Has he become the future of boston? What will happen to the TRUTH paul pierce?

I made an awful decision to trade away brandon roy for luke ridnour a month ago. I thought roy would tire a bit in his rookie season but he's just been better than ever in march. Thank god I got Earl Watson as a complement to ridnour, and he's been playing well.

Star-bury is lighting it up right now. I got him in a trade for caron butler right before the trade deadline, and now w/ caron's constant injuries i'm thinking i got the better of it. I dunno what's up with stephon. He can really play when he puts his mind to it. Last 6 games he's been raining 3's: The totals were: 4, 4, 6, 8, 3, 5. That's sick.

Luol Deng has turned into a fantasy factor this season, very nicely. He's actually cut down the # of 3's to almost zero, but all his other numbers improve and he's one of those "all-postives" guys, doesn't bog u down with turnovers or bad shooting, all the numbers are good across the board. Nothing exceptional, but 18.7 pts, 7 rebs, 2.4 assists, 1.2 stls, nice to have around. That 52.5 FG% clip also is very beneficial.

Best game of the season last night in Dallas. Dallas, best team in the league vs. Phoenix Suns, 2nd best team. Nash vs. Nowitzki. Dallas had the game in regulation, cough it up in the last few minutes, Nash hits a big-time 3 with seconds remaining to tie, goes into DOUBLE OVERTIME and suns win. Wow. Nice little preview to march madness right there.

Alright. That's it for now.
