free agent zero?

our boyy gilbert has opted out of his last year of the wizard's contract, and i'm really not sure how i feel about this. gil is undeniably a great player, but i don't think the wizards need him to succeed because we probably had the best chemistry of the season without him while having caron/antawn lead the pack.

needless to say, gil has done great things for the wizards, given us the exposure we need and leading us to the playoffs, but i think i feel him on dipping out. wizards have done their best for him, but i think he wants to be able to exceed the first round of the playoffs and he sure has the talent to do so. it may be the time for him to join another team with fresher, younger players and set up a small dynasty before he hitts retirement age. i'm sitting here waiting for him to update his blog so i can find answers that many NBA fans are seeking, why and where to?


btw, be on the look out for the Celtics taking their third victory of the finals tonight!

Rivalry Renewed- Celtics 108, Lakers 102

how did the Celtics blow such a lead so quietly?

dissing the wizards...

if you have been keeping up with the capitol's bball team against king james and his cavs, you understand that this has been a highly anticipated series. arenas felt that it would be tough for the cavs to beat the wizards in the post-season for third consecutive year and that the wizards were ready for him...i think not. i am a big wizards fan and everything but 'bron has been handling the home team 3/4 games averaging 29.5ppg , and i'm quite tired of watching the majestic wizards getting worked by this scrub team after giving it to many topnotch teams this season.

but the hype of this entry is to highlight the beef between deshawn stevenson and lebron/jay-z. stevenson lashed out at lebron saying he was "overrated" (but is he really?) and our boy 'bron responded to the press saying responding to stevenson's comments would be like "jay-z responding to soulja boy." WHOA BUDDY! did 'bron 'bron really just say that!? yes he did, he brought jay-z and soulja boy into it with jay-z on his side. stevenson seemed to take charge of his comment toward king james in game 3 with soulja boy in attendance, and might i add that was a marvelous game! but game 4 was a different story, lebron came back with the thunder and the cavs made sure they put their foot down and came out with the narrow dubbia. the cav's are now up in the series 3-1 and jay-z posted a new freestyle glorifying king James and absolutely smackin deshawn stevenson in the face...

Kobe's a beast

i don't care what people say, kobe is and always will be a beast.
check my manz hops:


he is clearly shown jumping over an Aston Martin with Nike's new Hyperdunks, catch TEAM USA in Beijing this summer for the Olympics. This time we're going all the way, belee dat!

march madness baby!

so today embarks the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament!
but of course the big dance doesn't make any noise without a few upsets, or near death experiences for the elite teams. but if you're looking for upsets you may want to run down to tampa bay where 5th seeded clemson lost to 12th seeded villy!? or perhaps 13th seeded siena or 4th seeded vandy!? please i havent even heard of siena as a college (yahh i need to STEP MY GAME UP!) but if anyone saw drake losing to western kentucky or connecticut losing to san diego , wow you take some risks on your bracket but you did prevail!



but i guess the talk of the day had to be Duke's near loss to Belmont, how Duke pulled through i have no idea but they did it, which I was quite upset about if there is one team i hate in the NCAA it is duke and im not a UMD or UNC fan either, its just hatred. Edit: Duke lost today to WVU :)

but my main bracket hasn't been totally screwed-up, all the core teams that i wanted in are still in... catch my Final Four: UCLA - Memphis - Tennesse - Georgetown with UCLA at Georgetown in the Championship game but i think UCLA will take it all home.

superbowl matchup

with the superbowl game a day away, i thought i would give my opinion on how tha highly anticipated superbowl XLII game would turn out... when these two teams last met on tha last week of the NFL regular season, people thought the patriots would hold strong and blow out the giants like they did to almost every other team they played (including my skins =[ ) but the giants showed em up and battled till the last minute resulting in a loss of 35-38. although the giants lost, this game shocked many football fans and told the public that the patriots are not the powerhouse that they seem to be, any team could beat them on a good day.

now 6 weeks later both of these teams, who rightfully deserve their spot, will meet again head 2 head in probably the most outrageous championship game ever. the patriots (16-0) and the giants (10-6) make up probably the worst super-bowl matchups ever because of the difference of record, however with courage and self-motivation i think the giants could win this game.

i predicted this will be a close game at the end with the resulting score of 27-24 giants. before you say this dude is crazy, he has no clue what he's spittin, just hear me out. the patriots are good, but they tend to sleep on teams at times ie. colts, eagles, ravens, and jets which all resulted in scores in tha last minutes causing the patriots to win. so if a team were to keep up with the patriots during the whole game and control the pace of the game they will be able to win, especially with the young talent of the giants against the veterans of the patriots. for the giants to win they will need to hold strong on the defensive front and they will need spectacular catches by their gifted receivers and brandon jacobs and ahmad bradshaw to STEP UP. on offense, the giants may need to keep a fast pace with LONG drives because the patriots veteran defensive players usually switch-up after a coupla plays due to fatigue, so if the giants can do unexpected no-huddles and quick counts i think they could get in tha redzone often. as for giants defense they will need to keep an eye on patriots star wideouts randy moss and wes welker who have a combined 31 TDs this entire season. the giants secondary will be key in either the giants victory or downfall. and the giants pass-rush on defense will absolutely be necessary to contain tom brady! and lastly giants special teams will also need to get their ish done! if the kick return team can get their offense good starting yardage, the giants will be able to get some points, and if the punting team can get nice long punts with great coverage, the patriots could be held to undesirable yardage. if the giants are able to work on both sides of the ball everytime, i think they will be able to keep up with the patriots and somehow pull a victory. i have the giants winnin it all 27-24.

key people:

Patriots:
-Randy Moss (WR) will need to do the usual "moss'n" for the patriots to get their points on tha board
-Wes Welker (WR) known as the secondary receiver will have to get the yards after the catch to help tha offense
-Asante Samuel (CB) has 6 interceptions this season, he is a pick-machine!
-Entire Line of LB's have dominated the rush and pass defense this season, but they are old and almost get tired
-Bill Belichick has a knack for shutting down the opposing teams number 1 receiver and has done it against every team they have played in their post-season

X-Factor: Laurence Maroney because if he is able to run the ball effectively then the patriots have another option to go to if the pass-offense doesnt go smoothly and averages 100+ yds of rushing in the last 5 games with a touchdown in each

Giants:
-Eli Manning (QB) is a young successful quarterback, but he must keep his composure in his first super bowl appearance for his team's sake
-Plaxico Burress (WR) has been talkin trash all week, theres no better time than now to prove it
-Defensive Line with players such as Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck will need to get the pass-rush on tom brady to get him out of the pocket where he is so relaxed in.
-Antonio Pierce (LB)will have to have to maintain good coverage and pass-rush to prevent long patriot drives

X-Factor: Giants DB's will need to think smart playing against the likes of Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth, and look out for the play-actions!


so think whatchu need to think about the game, im watchin it at a die-hard patriot family base so i have to root for the giants!!
