The regular season is drawing to a close, with only 12 regular season games remaining! So we being here with my favoite conference, the Eastern. Don't look now, but the New York Knicks, a team that I praised on here for extending Isiah, have gone 1-6 since the extension, and are now a season high 10 games below .500. Perfect timing.. Staying on the Knick front, has anyone seen Steve Francis play lately? wow. This guy use to be a stud, a 1 on 1 nightmare, now all he is is a headache and a ball stopper.. He actually makes the Knicks MISS Jamaal Crawford. Remaining in the East, how about the Indiana Pacers? The season of injuries and turmoil just keeps coming. A team that was once on the cusp of the Finals, is now a team that is struggling to make the playoffs. Look for there to be some major changes in the off-season, regardless of wether or not they make the playoffs, starting with franchise PF/C Jermaine O'neal. Shifting gears to the west, the Los Angeles Clippers seem to be playing the best ball of the season. As of today the Clips are sitting in the 7th spot, with a favorable schedule down the stretch. What makes this all so interesting is they're doing this without Injured G's Sam Cassell and Shaun Livingston. I am one who wouldn't mind seeing the Suns V the Clips in the first round! The recent TEAR that Kobe Bryant has gone on, has brought many people to begin spectulating on whether or not he's a legit MVP option??? I look at it like this... From the start of the season to today, it's been a two horse race between Steve Nash (my choice) and Dirk. Both Phoenix and Dallas have been the class of the league since October, and even though the Lakers are in the 6th spot in the west, to say that the Lakers are on the same level is just not right. Also, look at it like this, Dallas and Phoenix have already surpassed 50 wins, and no player has won the MVP award on a non 50 win team since 1982. Think about it. Rookie Note: Did anybody see Grizzlies rookie Terrence Kinsey? The rookie from South Carolina went 10-18 from the field and a late 3 (24 pts) to clinch an 88-86 win against the surging Lakers... only thing better than the Lakers losing was kobe's stat line... 7-26 from the field for a total of 23 points... First Round exit here we come!!!! And just in case you live in box, Ron Artest sent a text message to Corliss Williamson saying that he was contemplating retirement...I hope he does. All he's done since he's been in the league is ruin TWO franchises (Kings and Pacers), go crazy on my native Michiganders, beat up his wife, refuse to feed his dogs, ask for time off after 10 games and shave crazy stuff in his head, for the love of God he put "spinners" on his DaDa's..... retire Ron, please!!
Icelandic League Note: Were in the finals!!! Game 1 is saturday night!!!
