30. Minnesota Timberwolves (3-19):
Yeah, that's McHale driving the dirty, broken down dump of a franchise into a pole. While people protest and call upon David Stern to do something about "the situation in MSG", let's ignore the GM who destroyed a franchise, and then sold that franchise out to hook up his boy in Boston. Collusion?
If you thought that KG deal was bad, wait until two years from now, when McHale trades Al Jefferson back to Boston, along with Randy Foye, for Ray Allen's expiring contract!
29. Miami Heat (6-17):
Shaq fancies himself Superman. He even has the Superman emblem tattooed on his arm. Looks like Superman has hit the floor hard.
In all seriousness... Miami is waaaay inferior version of the Houston Rockets. No matter how good Shaq was, or Wade can be, they are still lesser (combined) than Yao-McGrady. The Heat don't have the three-point shooters or role players that the Rockets have (Battier, Scola, James, Alston, Head). And both teams, of course, need point guards badly. Ugh. Speaking of superheroes...
27. Memphis (7-16):
Sorry, but you're ass juice. You were ass juice in Vancouver, and you are ass juice now in Memphis. You were ass juice the most that day you lost the lottery for LeBron. Sorry, it's a terrible existence. Speaking of...
26 New York Knicks (7-16):
The Wizard of Oz, Pt. 1: If I Only Had Heart.
We'll let you speculate on who needs courage and who needs brains, but this was easy. In fact, we started the draft for this post last week, long before Isiah Thomas' comments yesterday after the Knicks latest loss, questioning their heart. This is a team that fought valiantly all of last season, redeeming the franchise after the Larry Brown fiasco. Now here they are repeating the Larry Brown fiasco, but quitting on a different coach.
Damn. Let's move on...

25. Charlotte Bobcats (8-14):
That's right. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just keep walking, you got a long way to go still.
Oh, and don't forget to pause, so you can overpay Antawn Jamison to sign with your team this summer.
24. Chicago Bulls (8-13):
The Wizard of Oz, Pt. 2: If I Only Had Courage
Pull the f*cking trigger already, you wusses. You won't trade for Pau Gasol, for Kobe Bryant, for any of the various players that could make your team better. Now you are facing the possibility of losing Ben Gordon (or even worse, overpaying to keep him), and "untouchable" Luol Deng has a "tricky back" that might bother him all season long.
Please grow some balls.
23. Sacramento Kings (9-14):
This team is a big ass band-aid, with injuries felling star players Mike Bibby, then the King's messiah Kevin Martin. Brad Miller is also likely to get injured again soon, and Shareef Abdul-Rahim is never going to be healthy, is he?
And speaking of messiahs who miss games, here's a great article on Ron Artest (found via True Hoops). It showcases his pluses and minuses as a player. If you don't think Ron Artest is seriously thinking about opting out of his contract this season, and exploring the market... well, let's just say I think the Spurs (needing a SF to replace Brent Barry) may take a flyer on Artest this offseason, as they once did on Stephen Jackson. And they won't be the only team in the bidding for Artest.
22. Los Angeles Clippers (9-14):
This isn't Elton Brand's team anymore. In fact, the Clippers organization is pretty much telling him not to rush back from his injury. Nope, they have a new go-to-guy, with a nice extension to boot. And his name is Kong. King Kong Kaman.
21. Cleveland (10-14):
A sprained finger gave the Cavs and their fans a taste of what a King LeBron-less existence is like. It wasn't pretty, was it?
Hey, did you know that King Tut died of a broken foot? Just saying. Oh, speaking of King-less...
20. Philadelphia 76ers (10-14):
Rising from the ashes.
What do you think makes Philly fans most excited: Finally getting rid of Billy King, or finally getting rid of Chris Webber's enormous contract from the books?
They are in the playoff hunt, and are actually currently ahead of the Cavs. Wow. Now if only they could trade Andre Miller for something useful, giving Louis Williams the point guard job full time, and sign a good free agent (hello Elton Brand!)....
The Wizard of Oz, Pt. 3: If I Only Had A Brain
I know they are doing better than they were last year, but seriously... how is this team a lottery team? Or even remotely close to a lottery team?
You have Mo Williams and Andrew Bogut, one of the best pick-and-roll duos in the league. Both can pass really well, and hit the midrange jumper. You have Michael Redd, the sharpshooter from downtown. You have solid role players, including Charlie Bell and Charlie Villanueva. And now they've added the most polished rookie (aside from Al Horford) in Yi Jianlian.
Rebounding? Mo Williams is above average for a guard, and Bogut, Villanueva and Yi are one of the biggest frontcourts in the league. Defense? Everyone (except for Redd) is a good defender with size and quickness.
So why do they (still) suck?
Watch the coach sometime.
Oh, and just a personal note: I hate Michael Redd. He's really overrated. He's less efficient on offense than, say, Eddy Curry, twice as expensive, and just as poor a rebounder and defensive player. Also, he takes more time shooting the ball than any other long-distance guy in the league. He has this awful tendency to do a juke-move, or a fake, before shooting, thus disrupting the timing of the other Bucks to capture the rebound. Seriously, you want to know why such a big team is 18th in rebounding? Count how many times a Redd miss is offensively rebounded in a week's worth of games. It won't be many, if at all.
17. Atlanta Hawks (11-12):
Sh*t, all out of point guard spice! That's what we're missing....
16. Portland Trail Blazers (12-12):
Nice foundation you've got there. Very solid. However, it's still mediocre... for now. But add a few mattresses, better pillows, etc... and you might have yourself quite the bed there!
/Forced Analogy Theater
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
You know those corny ass Disney movies where the band of outcasts and misfits, and washed up stars, gets together as a team and comes together (okay, that's the Mighty Ducks series... how about Major Leagues then? Yeah, that's better)... well, the Warriors have been the real life version of that over the last season. Baron Davis went from being a worse contract than Marbury (and absolutely untradeable with his bad back) to being one of the top leaders in the league. Stephen Jackson went from "loose cannon" back to "role player and leader". Matt Barnes? Azuibuike replacing Jason Richardson? EuroJordan Mickael Pietrus?
Is it any wonder top draft picks like Patrick O'Bryant, Brandan Wright and even Marco Belinelli can't break the rotation? They are too good and pedigreed to be on this team... they should just trade those three for Steve Francis, Eric Dampier, Ron Artest and Chris Quinn. Better yet... Nate Robinson.
12. Toronto Blue Jays (14-11):
Eh.
I should have used a pic from The U.N. for Team International. But whatever... the Raptors actually kind of bore me. I don't know why, but they do.
Well, with TJ Ford looking like he's not going to get his job back from Jose Calderon, the only non-international starter for the Raptors might be Chris Bosh. And yet... still eh.
I think they need more Carlos Delfino, and another Argentine (or Brazilian) to sell the team to me.
11. Utah Jazz (14-11):
I refuse to waste a photo, or a YouTube clip, on the entity known as the Jazz.
10. Washington Wizards (13-10):
50 First Dates? How about a movie called "50 Starting Point Guards"? Seriously... Mike Wilks was just picked up off waivers, and signed, so he could be the Wizard's latest starting point guard.
One injury to Wilks, and this team is signing Jeff George or Vinny Testeverde next.
9. Denver Nuggets (14-10):
We know Allen Iverson is made of iron. But when your team is banking on Marcus Camby to continue to be the iron man of the front court... good luck. Godspeed, little Nuggets.
I saw the preview for this movie this past week, while catching the remake of "I Am Legend".
Quick take on I Am Legend: I give it 3 out of 4 stars... very enjoyable, though it got very formulaic at the end, and I have to deduct points for using the deus ex machina multiple times... that's always a sign of bad writing/direction. On the flip side, it is a lot less "psychedelic" (to quote the Greek) than the Charlton Heston version. And while this version does not reach for as much social commentary as the Heston version, it is far less "70's"... the clothing, the wide panning shots that have no meaning... The Omega Man was a little too esoteric.
The Iron Man movie is starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Starks, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrance Howard and Jeff Bridges. It could have been good, but from the preview... it probably won't be. Sigh.
8. The Los Angeles Lakers 14-9:
Shhh. Don't tell anybody, but... Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are doing well.
7. New Orleans Hornets (15-9):
Remember that band-aid with the messiah, from the Kings entry above? That was the Hornets last year, with all their injuries. Right now it's a pair of crossed fingers, because if they can stay healthy (I'm looking at you David West... don't f*ck up my fantasy team,anymore than it already is, with another injury), this team can do well.
Big IF.
6. Dallas Mavericks (16-9):
I was going to create an organization chart from scratch for the Dallas Mavericks, showing connectors and loops and stuff, but then I found this one, and started cracking up. Here, let me fill in the rest of the missing boxes:
Steve Nash (bad back)
Chad Kroeger (Nickelback)
Chili's (I want my babyback, baby back...)
Justin Timberlake (Sexyback)
Sir Mix-A-Lot (Baby got back)
Yeah, that's McHale driving the dirty, broken down dump of a franchise into a pole.

28. Seattle Sonics (7-18):
Look here, holmes: You are Spider-Man. You don't walk around the street like normal humans. You sling your webs from the rooftops, yo.
Too bad your coach ain't figured that out yet.

15. Houston Rockets (12-12):
I don't get it, either. You try to explain it to me.
Both Yao and McGrady have been relatively healthy so far. They have the glue guys (particularly Shane Battier) They added an Argentine, which usually puts you over the top.
So why are they only 12-12? Well, f*ck it... this is as good an opportunity to lay money on them to win the NBA Title as you are going to get (30-1!!!), and I still think they are one of only like four teams with a real chance of winning. Especially if they trade Bob Sura and Aaron Brooks/Luther Head/future #1 pick to the Clippers for what's left of Sam Cassell's body.
Interesting note: Speaking of rotting bodies... this is where Mutumbo's body is being stored this season.
14. Indianapolis Pacers (12-12):
Congrats to the Pacers on their return to mediocrity (back to mediocre... get it?). I don't know what went wrong in the second half of last season, but the Pacers seem to be back on their way to their usually 41-41 annual record again. Good Okay for them.

Anyway... get back to the point: The Dallas Mavericks need to revamp their organizational chart. Namely: Josh Howard is now the go-to-guy. Not Dirk. Not Jason Terry. Not Jerry Stackhouse.
Oh, one more: Luke Skywalker (Empire Strikes Back)
5. Orlando Magic (17-8):
Look, I didn't think it would work, either. I mean, Jagermeister and Sunkist... that didn't seem like the best mix, right? Not terrible, just not all that great.
Well, turns out Rashard Lewis + the Magic = top-5 team. Sure, Dwight Howard's emergence has a lot to do with it, too. But the bottom line is this is a team with offensive firepower everywhere (Hedo Turkoglu is quietly having a monster year, too).
Too bad Grant Hill isn't around to enjoy it. Speaking of Hill...
4. Phoenix Suns (17-7):
Not!
I like what Grant Hill is doing here, but the basic problems are still there. Namely no "D".

Regular season doesn't matter to the Suns, anyway. All that matters is whether they will be this generation's version of the Alex English Denver Nuggets, or something greater than that.
3. Detroit Pistons (17-7):
All season long something was missing from this team. I couldn't place it, but it was there before, and not there now.
Then they made that trade for Walter Herrmann, and it clicked: "They were missing the Argentine!". Ever since they got rid of Carlos Delfino... but now that's fixed.
Speaking of that trade... on Monday I wrote that "the only blemish on the Detroit Pistons' beautiful cap is that Nazr Mohammad contract". Well, Joe Dumars wasted no time fixing that!
Wow. He traded Mohammad for two expiring contracts (Brezec and Herrmann), clearing Nazr's $6+ million contract for the next three years. Thank you Charlotte, right? Meanwhile, with those contracts, and McDyess's expiring contract this year (plus Flip Murray and Lindsay Hunter also expire), the Pistons have their four stars signed for next season, plus their three young guns (Amir Johnson, Jason Maxiell and Rodney Stuckey), and are at $53 million for next season, or about $8 million under the cap.
F*ck that, that's amazing.
What do they need? A center, right (or a PF)? Here are some options: perhaps Elton Brand (unlikely), Okafor (which would be ironic, since Charlotte gave them the free space to sign him), Nenad Krstic (bonus if he brings Boki Nachbar with him), and your most likely future Piston: Kwame Brown.
Or they could sign a Kurt Thomas/Jamaal Magliore/Alonzo Mourning type for a year, and wait until later to use their cap space.
Dumars is damn good.

Come on, it's the Spurs. They are still the NBA equivalent of The Rock.

Yeah, you're right about that increasing traffic to the Sports Gal post, but I decided against it. It's already up on the sonsofsportsguy forum, so I'd kind of be stealing their news item. Same thing with the pictures I found; other people noticed them first. I just feel that as someone who uses an alias to blog, "unmasking" the Sports Gal's identity is pretty hypocritical of me.
great entry. unfortunately for the knicks, the wizard of oz pts i, ii, and iii of your post could all apply to them.
actually, "the wiz - the musical" is more up their alley...

btw, the shots of ass juice at double down on ave. a are pretty tasty.

That's where I took that photo! Nice call, Greek. I couldn't remember the name or location of that bar. It has a mechanical bull in the back... a girl asked me the other day where she could find a mechanical bull to ride, and I couldn't remember the name of that bar.
