Vinsanity or Black Mamba - You be the judge

hey everyone...was it me or did v.c. beat up kobe for his cheap tactics. you start escaping felony charges and you think you can molest other players. talk about having the superstar syndrome. you know you are in trouble when vince "i get bumped and i cry" carter takes you on.

Are Clips for real, or are they this year's Sonics?

Are you kidding me at 8-2? Sam I Am can't have much left in the gas tank, and Cutino Mobley hasn't done anything in his career so far.

So what gives? Weak early schedule, low expectations, or are they for real?

Go Darko

Rasheed Wallace had this to say about Darko Milicic. Someone asked him about Darko wrestling with Dikembe Mutombo on Friday night and ‘Sheed said:

"I'm telling you, Darko is a Serbian gangster. Darko's got some bodies back there (in Serbia-Montenegro). He can go psycho on guys."

That's my line on Nigel, he's got some bodies back in Hong Kong (or is it Richmond?)

Dwyane is the Man

Did you guys see the highlights from Heat-Sixers? Wade was filthy, sick, nasty with the six dunks and crazy toss-it-backwards layup.

Kobe? Got his 36 but 12-35 is't going to get it done.

Lakers v Knicks

Caught part of the Lakers Knicks game tonight. Observations:

- Lakers suck, but Knicks suck even worse. I'm glad I only caught the last two quarters, no way I could have watched two hours of this.

- How long before Starbury gets traded?

- Kwame looks totally lost. If there was ever a poster child for staying in college, Kwame is him. How much better would he be now if he played say, three years in the ACC. Will he turn into Horace Grant or is he destined to be Cherokee Parks?

- Kobe looks skinnier and definitely quicker. Dude is still a ball hog.

- Odom needs the ball more. No second option, no playoffs.

Out Like Vinsanity

yo in the association,

hate: zo getting posterized all over the place by v. c.

love: no call on the v.c. botched game winning attempt....no superstar favourtism....little bitch.

coming soon to a court near you,

Rosen has Kobe's Back

Bill Simmons is good, but I love the caustic wit of Charlie Rosen on Foxsports. Charlie is a good pal of Phil Jackson (they go way back, and he co-wrote Jackson's book More than Just a Game) so you know that there is going to be positive bias.

However, he writes killer scouting reports and he gives a detailed breakdown of games that you just don't get with the regular NBA / AP newsfeeds.

He had this to say about Kobe:

"Kobe is as Kobe does — taking a ton of shots, forcing several pounds worth and weighing in with an astonishing number of spectacular makes."

T is smiling in his cubicle as he reads this.

NBA 2006 Begins

Ball is on this Thursday, let me know who is coming. Mike and Temo, are you guys going to show this week? Terence has been trash talking all week about how many threes he plans to drop on your heads...

Random thoughts:

- Lakers open tonight in Denver. Taking bets on how many panties will be waving in baseline seats when Kobe shoots free throws.

- Milwaukee looked good on highlights last night. Who is TJ Ford and didn't he have a broken back last year?

- First coach to get canned will be Brian Hill of Orlando. I can't believe they brought him back - he was horrendous when he was with the Grizzlies. Granted, he was stuck with Big Country at center and a bunch of third stringers for starters but I blame Hill for 20 losses each year with his lousy play calling.

- Since we don't have the Grizz anymore, UBC T-Birds are the only game in town. Pasha Bains dropped 41 last Friday in Calgary against the Dinos. Anyone interested in catching next UBC home game?

If this doesn't get the e-mails flying, you guys must be in a coma.

Where we play

The Homicide Squad runs weekly at the St. Andrews parish gym in East Vancouver. Check us out on Thursday nights from 9pm onwards. Drop in fee is $5.

The entrance to the gym is on E. 48 Avenue by St. George, which is one block west of Fraser Street. Parking next to the gym is accessible through the alley, just watch out for all the Phillipino dancers driving out when they end their session at 8:50pm.

The official address of St. Andrews is 480 East 47 Ave., but the gym is located on the E.48 side of the complex.
