Let's take a look at the current NY Knick roster:
Wilson Chandler: Extremely athletic, good instincts going to the basket, still developing his defensive presence, but will most likely flourish in D'Antoni's system.
Mardy Collins: The knock on Collins is that he doesn't do anything well enough; if he can focus on being a distributor and using his height to guard out on the wing, he doesn't need a traditional position.
Jamal Crawford: Those from the great Seattle metropolitan area have many current NBAers to hype up; Brandon Roy and Marvin Williams are the two most immediate examples that come to mind. I never hear you motherfuckers saying a word about your boy from Rainier Beach. Maybe he takes too many bad shots, doesn't rebound, doesn't defend, doesn't pass, and thinks he is worth franchise money to boot, ok there's no bright side to having him be an integral part of your squad, I give up trying.
Eddy Curry: He's got heart alright, even if it may give out at any given moment, and Curry seems poised for a breakout year in which he averages twice as many turnovers as assists, and continues to compile seasonal statistics that have us wondering how he could bring a double-double to the table every night and still be numbingly ineffective. Shaq was a bad fit in Phoenix last season, Eddy Curry is too big to fit himself in to any of the cutesy shapes D'Antoni makes.
Chris Duhon: Much like Green Day's breakthrough release in 1994, Duhon got his big break as a Dukie. He played alongside a fair number of NBA players and often showed poise, athleticism and court vision to spare. His NBA career has been underwhelming, he never seems to be the kind of guy you'd want starting for your team, let alone a playoff bound one. Maybe what he needs is a team that runs and guns and doesn't mind having a little funs too.
Danilo Gallinari: I hope he gets fat, it will help him build character. He kind of reminds me of a Western European Darko Milicic, maybe this means great things since one can only improve by getting playing time. Did he warrant his high lottery selection in the draft? I think so, think about 2010 when the Cablevision/MSG consortia is vying for the hearts and minds of New York's fans against Brooklyn's new look Nets, they need guidos, now and forever, to keep racism alive!
Jerome James:
Jared Jeffries: A former Mr. Basketball of Indiana, Jeffries seems to have earned his contract because Hoosiers (Isiah Thomas) hook it up for other Hoosiers for life. Remember when this motherfucker was getting hyped up in his early days on the Wiz? Jeesssus, let's hope that he offers a hint of offense to compliment his half-decent perimeter defense.
David Lee: Something terrible happened to David Lee while at Florida. I imagine Billly Donovan encouraged Lee to do nothing but grab rebounds and dunk in practice, and would have him watch old Led Zeppelin concert footage while all the Anthony Robersons of the world took jumper after jumper. It's still hard to fathom him defeating James "Flight" White in a dunk contest, but, then again, Crystal Meth has not been a national problem all that long.
Stephon Marbury: I have faith for Starbury. Someone needs to track down the footage of Starbury playing all the characters in a fake interview.
Zach Randolph: Should have crawled back in to the womb at Michigan State when he had the chance...
Quentin Richardson: Reunites with D'Antoni, if he's healthy he's liable to make a fuck ton of 3's. I envision him having a Glen Rice on the Lakers in 2002 kind of year.
Anthony Roberson: At least they didn't sign Matt Walsh...
Nate Robinson: Retired his jersey in Vegas for his Summer league dominance. I hope he can somehow find the courage to be a real NBA player.
Malik Rose: Candidate for getting dunked on the most by Wilson Chandler in practice day in and day out. The prototypical too small power forward.
There you have it, godspeed NY.

Washington Wizards
An exciting offseason indeed! Let's discuss the curerent roster for the Washington Wizards:
Gilbert Arenas: Overexposure leads to increased color bleed in the picture. I have aspirations of an all Gil all-star weekend.
Andray Blatche: Only one way to explain his career so far:
Caron Butler: Whatever the fuck people nicknamed this dude as, Tough Juice, is confusing to me as an outsider to the game of basketball as such. Therefore I will just comment that he is a top-tier favorite player of mine in the association.
Antonio Daniels: Used to be a leaper, still has low to the ground athleticism. Never had elite point skills, but got away with a lot because of how well he moves defensively. Russell Westbrook take note! You're hyper-athletic and have the potential to rise above the standard set by guys like Daniels and a young Jason Kidd.
This when Kidd was still in High School (approaching 20 years ago):
Brendan Haywood: Makes one long for the Kris Lang years at UNC.
Antwan Jamison: Got more pussy at UNC than Brendan Haywood, that's for damn sure.
Javale Mcgee: Is the prototypical feminist.
Dominic Mcguire: Seems to lead an honest life, just happy to be here kind of guy.
Oleksiy Pecherov: Dangerously thin, summers working for Gazprom have not improved his station in life.
Darius Songaila: Lithuanian! He's got something going on, always willing to take the hits inside, likes shooting jumpers, never a great athlete, mediocre defender, decent passer maybe, and mired in mediocre tendencies. Never makes the exciting play, has not the power to do so.
Deshawn Stevenson: Has swagger, miles of it. He is bigger than the American education system as far as I'm concerned. Tracy Morgan and Tracy Mcgrady had a baby and it's name was Baron Davis.
Etan Thomas: Demands that you take him and his rhymes seriously Brendan Haywood!
Nick Young: USC girls were great...Georgetown girls have funny moles...I am an amazing dunker...I am, oh fuck, ten minutes late for practice, was I dreaming? Nope these things are actually probably true.
Gilbert Arenas: Overexposure leads to increased color bleed in the picture. I have aspirations of an all Gil all-star weekend.

Artest
Wow.
The Rockets might be a contender finally. Any Syracuse fan will tell you that Donte Greene is a fucking bum. Any St. Johns fan will tell you Ron Artest is a great man. Pacers fans try to remain mum, it's the midwest after all!
Kings get:
Bobby Jackson
Donte Greene
2009 First Round Selection (Unprotected)
Rockets get:
Ron Artest
The Rockets don't pick up any lousy contracts (maybe Artest's) in the process and don't really lose a lot of depth at the guard position. Is Aaron Brooks the pure point Daryl Morey and Rick Adelman think he is? I somehow doubt it, but lets take a look at a potential starting five for the Rockets in 2008-2009:
PG-Rafer Alston/Aaron Brooks
SG-Tracy Mcgrady
SF-Ron Artest
PF-Shane Battier
C-Yao Ming

Concert Sound
Best free agent signing of the summer so far? Matt Barnes to the Phoenix Suns.
Worst free agent signing of the summer so far? Keyon Dooling to the New Jersey Nets.
Let's analyze the current nets roster:
Maurice Ager: One of my favorite Michigan State alumni ever, he killed it in college, and, despite showing flashes of promise, was never given enough burn in Dallas nor as of late under Lawrence Frank. He also seems to be a disciple of the Vince Carter school of in game consistency; a bad sign when you don't have the tools at your disposal that VC does.
Ryan Andersen: Feel good story of the Willenium, the formerly doughy Andersen worked his ass off to become the PAC-10's leading scorer last year. He can stroke on his jumper, an asset that becomes even more valuable with the departure of both Boki Nachbar and Nenad Krstic. He also seems soft, still, despite his hard numbers. I can only hope that he and Matt Frieje never meet, unless it's to speak up against the injustices in Darfur, or to be endorsed by a new line of clothes for tall, white men.
Josh Boone: He is the former bane of so many a UConn fan's existences, but has so much damn potential. Him and Hilton Armstrong might spend the rest of their careers getting dunked on, but at least Boone should be able to be a solid contributor on a nightly basis. If rumors are true that he learned to shoot from past 8 feet out, anything goes for this Nets team. A true first round playoff exit kind of Power Forward.
Vince Carter: Remember in 2005 when Toronto sold Carter off for what eventually amounted to Rob Babcock getting himself a nice severance payment? All of the sudden VC is the alpha male, veteran leader on this squad; this could mean terrible things for the forseeable future. With consistent effort, poise, and a regained swagger that terrifies defenders (Authors Note: We are in fact, fucked) we could make it all the way to the second round, only to see J.R. Giddens, as Boston's 12th man, outplay our entire starting 5.
Keyon Dooling: KEYON DOOLING?!?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHY?!?!!?!? How are people like Tyronn Lue, Keyon Dooling, and Anthony Johnson in the NBA? Just bring in a young player who can shoot, Pierre Pierce anybody?, and has athleticism, and size and maybe you can be an effective team at cost! I'm pretty sure Peter Jackson is a racist son of a bitch, but Dooling eerily resembles an Orc I saw in one of those LOTR movies.
Chris Douglas-Roberts: YES! YES! YES! CDR is my hero; beyond clutch missed free throws (I'm looking at you D. Rose) this man has enough swagger to make up for Boone's shoegazing tendencies. CDR:J Boone::Dipset:My Bloody Valentine. He is stronger and more athletic in game than most people think, and he can straight up drop buckets. He's a scorer, he's a creator, he's an on ball defender, and all of these things are mitigated by the Keyon Dooling signing!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!
Devin Harris: Madison, Wisconsin is a scary place, if you know what I'm talking about then we can leave it at that. Anyhow, this Harris boy is a whirling dervish of an uptempo point guard. I love his athleticism and his ever improving mid-range game. We can't ride his coattails to prominence until he can be a smaller cog in the machine; he doesn't have the pure passing skills of Kidd, let alone Kendall Gill, but he can be extremely effective with the right kind of players around him, namely CDR.
Trenton Hassel: Much like his namesake, the capital of The Garden State, señor Hassel has been continuously grinding out solid on ball defense and occasionally knocking down uncontested jumpers since KG was a teenage phenom up in Minnesota. I would like to think of him as a glue guy, but his history is marred by having played on so many mediocre teams.
Jarvis Hayes: Loved him on the Wizards, liked him on the Pistons, hoping for the best with the Nets. He's always seemed like an old soul in the NBA, a gunner on par with the best in the game when he's got it together. He brings a lot to the table with his combination of size and scoring at the wing position, but he also finds himself in a somewhat silly logjam that might even make Bunny Lebowski blush. If Bill Simmons is actually right about anything it's the idea of removing a seeming star from a team and then watching that team ascend to much greater heights than ever achieved while said player was healthy and supposedly dominant, Patrick Ewing and the 1999 Knicks is a great example, even if Boston fans are the worst fans that ever lived, I forgive you, but I will never refer to him as the Sports Guy ever again after this sentence, because fuck big market fans.
Brook Lopez: Robin will be better; what does this mean for Brook? For starters, which he might be given the departure of Krstic to Russia, there doesn't seem to be anything about this guy that is outstanding. Underwhelmed is the impression most PAC-!0 fans give me after watching Stanford the last couple of years. Will Sean Williams bring out the beast in Brook by switching out his mama's titty milk for a bong rip or two? I sure hope so, because you can't teach height and post-presence. Lopez will be an upgrade to Krstic defensively, offense is a wait and see sort of transition with so much of the roster being overhauled in the offseason, only time will tell.
Eduardo Najera: The biggest Mexican that ever played in the NBA. I love Eduardo Najera so very much, because he embodies the spirit of so many hard working Americans, whether they are in this country legally or not. His shooting is underrated, anyone who saw him playing in Denver had to see that it was impossible for anyone to have a competent offensive game while AI and Carmelo Anthony shared court space. Isn't it weird that Denver is rehashing what they did almost thirty years ago to the T: High scoring, no defense, often maligned flashy stars? Perhaps Linas Kleiza is the missing link.
Bobby Simmons: Number one question mark coming in to the season; what Bobby Simmons did the Nets trade for? Was he only good because he was playing in a contract year for a strangely competitive LA Clipper team, and with a lot of hype from certain media members with a particular interest (Ahem, Simmons' borderline swimfan like crush on him), or will he actually persevere the slew of injuries and bad press that seem to have derailed a career on the rise? Is 100% healthy? Can he bring it at the swingman position in a way that will help this squad? Is he going to put up ill advised threes? Will there be any room for any more ill-advised threes with VC, Maurice Ager, Eduardo Najera, Jarvis Hayes, Devina Harris, Trenton Hassel and Yi all one team to boot? Uh-Oh.
Stromile Swift: The kind of player that cause old Jewish men to "Feh" in disgust, Swift has spent the greater part of his Basketball career building us up, only to drop us 30 stories down. Why doesn't his superior athleticism at the 4 get the job done? Maybe because he is a self-aggrandizing moron. Remember that bird call shit he used to do? Fuck, get this guy off the roster immediately before I start liking him.
Peep the hand gesture post dunk, he still does it!!!!
Keith Van Horn:
Sean Williams:
Yi Jianlin: Finally, Yi gets exposed to the Chinese saturated market he (and the powers that control him) crave. He can be a hero to the millions of yellow men in the greater New York metropolitan area who crave a true basketball playing hero. So let's take a look at what Yi can do for you and me:
Dunk on people regardless of their race:
Make Andrew Bogut look like he's worth a lot less than that contract extension:
Speak English?:
Oh well, we're not the Knicks:
Worst free agent signing of the summer so far? Keyon Dooling to the New Jersey Nets.

Wow, somebody likes that guy a lot. You know what discussion will never cease? The questions of chemistry and cohesion that involve those lads from Liverpool circa 1961. Even if Paul McCartney is just a syrupy reduction of his balsamic vinegar Beatles-era self, you gotta give the guy some credit as a musician; he was kept in check by the sheer swagger Lennon and Harrison could display. It's remarkable that Mccartney fell apart musically, at least from pushing the envelope, when he became more focused on parenting and being a good husband; Wings is garbage, yes I said it!
Margaret Cho's own show was amazing; Tera Pyle you've met your match!
What the fuck is this world coming to?!?!?!?

I was trying to catch your eye
3 Albums:
ONE LINK!
Some music that everybody's talking about in their sleep. I heard somebody say that they loved the Pixies. If I hear a "Pixies" Gipsy remix, I'm going to be sad. If you listen to Trompe le Monde, you have probably heard Frank Black's solo stuff already. That said, Joey Santiago is in rare form throughout the recording entitled "Teenager of the Year"; Pixies diaspora has been an intriguing one, and one has to wonder whose fault it was that they couldn't coexist for very long together. Also, reunion tours tend to be too commercial.
Sunshine Hit Me is another really great collection of songs that Band of Bees has put together.
The third contribution to this group is the album Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice it's really beautiful. It was made by a duo, wow, a monumental recording achievement, a real layer cake of audio sweetness, dripping and dribbling with sauce.

Fuck that movie Juno
Fuck that Roland Juno
Fuck that Juno, Alaska
The only thing I can think about is shooting a basketball. Occasionally, when the idea of shooting elbow jumpers fades in to something more sublime, I pick up a musical instrument or do something stupid like pretend to play the drums along with recordings through tinny, teeny-tiny speakers.
Hillel is for all the hungry non-jews, and seriously hungry jews.

Carlsberg is not a twist-off beer bottle.
When you cut your hair, your face looks wider. Only certain demigods like Brad Pitt and Gilbert Godfried have yet to fall victim to this human inevitability.
In a musical world full of puff pastries, buttery, fattening treats with no real nutritional value or particular flavor, Love added some real color to the mix. Their most recognized song, in my mind, is "Alone Again Or", which Wes Anderson used in the Bottle Rocket soundtrack quite masterfully. So you probably already own this album, but maybe you don't. If you d/l and find that you were wanting more B-sides and versions that hit the cutting room floor, don't hesitate to comment and those will get sent right your way.

I don’t give a fuck right now about what I made before today
Mainly because most of it is garbage
This whole weekend is dedicated to Jackie, so I decided the only way to start it would be by having a Puerto Rican conversation between myself and the TV, just like she once had for a day or so in Miramar, a wealthy section of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Fran’s projected results:
USA
Spain
Argentina
I love basketball, I love basketball; that’s what every fan tells himself as he takes a long sit on the porcelain throne. Why is toilet time such a good time for releasing things? I guess that was a dumb question.
Carmelo Anthony to Europe? Just ask Bill Walton:
His FIBA game is incredible, maybe he’s an even BETTER fit for a Euroleague club than a Josh Childress type. Wow, ‘Melo has been dunking with great tenacity. Why doesn’t Walt “Clyde” Frazier announce every video game? A dream team of him and Keith Hernandez might cause my TV to shatter, Cathode Ray tubes have a tendencies to overload when the colors are too intense.
Digital Photography
This is not a photograph, it’s a file.
How does it feel for Leo Rautins, playing for daddy? That must suck to know your dad was a bigger beast than you'll ever be at basketball. Anyway, go Canada, I guess. Also, I thought Carl English would be nasty, but there is only room for one English in the short history of the NBA and that is our man, Alex English. As NBA.com will tell you,
Roosevelt Roads; give that shit back to Puerto Rico, what the fuck USA??!??!?
Elliott Smith’s Self-Titled; Wes Anderson, ok I forgive myself for buying in to his movies, is pretty on point in following Gus Van Zandt’s lead in utilizing early Elliott Smith pieces in films to emphasize sadness.
NCAA basketball is dumb, it should share rules with FIBA, that way the NBA can have a true outlet to international style. This way more players will develop in the international style and make all national teams better by having the NCAA system be one where players the world round interested in attending school, and getting certain extracurricular benefits, can actually improve their basketball games. Athletic departments need to have accountability, as all students should have equal opportunity to pursue their aims, therefore we should take title IX on step further and say that all academics and athletics should be funded equally.
Tayshaun Prince versus UNC:
Maybe he is a great team USA addition. Also, how good defensively was the Dominguez team with Tyson Chandler and Prince in high school?
Blogs really should just be what you do in person, but whatever watered down version of that the internet can cook up. That is why I will try to give away as much music as possible on it before it’s too late.
Elliott Smith-S/T
Wow, this is a really amazing recording. It feels like someone is stabbing himself in the heart with a steak knife until he finally bleeds to death along in his kitchen. Something like that…
I bet a lot of people like to Google their own names. So maybe I’ll just write down people’s names here, and maybe if they google their own name randomly they’ll find me.

Mainly because most of it is garbage
This whole weekend is dedicated to Jackie, so I decided the only way to start it would be by having a Puerto Rican conversation between myself and the TV, just like she once had for a day or so in Miramar, a wealthy section of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Fran’s projected results:
USA
Spain
Argentina
I love basketball, I love basketball; that’s what every fan tells himself as he takes a long sit on the porcelain throne. Why is toilet time such a good time for releasing things? I guess that was a dumb question.
Carmelo Anthony to Europe? Just ask Bill Walton:
His FIBA game is incredible, maybe he’s an even BETTER fit for a Euroleague club than a Josh Childress type. Wow, ‘Melo has been dunking with great tenacity. Why doesn’t Walt “Clyde” Frazier announce every video game? A dream team of him and Keith Hernandez might cause my TV to shatter, Cathode Ray tubes have a tendencies to overload when the colors are too intense.
Digital Photography
This is not a photograph, it’s a file.
How does it feel for Leo Rautins, playing for daddy? That must suck to know your dad was a bigger beast than you'll ever be at basketball. Anyway, go Canada, I guess. Also, I thought Carl English would be nasty, but there is only room for one English in the short history of the NBA and that is our man, Alex English. As NBA.com will tell you,
Alex English
Jersey #2 Retired: March 2, 1993
Alex English's career can best be summed up in one word: consistency. In 10 of his 11 seasons with the Nuggets (1979-90), English averaged better than 21 points per game. In eight of those 11 years, he scored more than 25 points per game.
When he departed as a free agent in 1990, English left as the Nuggets all-time leading scorer - having notched 21, 654 points - and his career average of 25. 9 ppg is the best in Nuggets history. He also ranks 10th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
The eight-time NBA All-Star is also the Nuggets career leader in games played, minutes played, field goals made, field goals attempted and assists. He ranks third in rebounds and steals.
In each of his first 10 seasons with the Nuggets, English finished among the top 10 in the NBA in scoring. In 1982-83, he became the first and only Nugget to lead the league in scoring with a 28.4 average. English also holds the distinction of leading the NBA in scoring during the decade of the '80s, after compiling 19, 682 points.
A second-team All-NBA member in 1982, '83 and '86, English guided the Nuggets to Division championships in 1984-85 and '87-88.
Also a leader in the community, English was presented the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for community service in 1988. IN 1985, he convinced NBA players to donate their shares from the All-Star game to Interaction Ethiopia, a relief fund.
During his playing days, he was also involved in a variety of other activities such as acting in major motion pictures, Amazing Grace and Chuck. He has continued to stay busy since his playing days by being involved in Internet sites and coaching in the NBDL.
He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997.
Roosevelt Roads; give that shit back to Puerto Rico, what the fuck USA??!??!?
