More news that Monta Ellis apparently lied about the cause of his injury. If the team and the player want to make as big a deal of this as possible, they could not be playing it any better. This slow trickle of information has kept it in the headlines day after day. A quick admission would have led for a day and a half tops.
Later today, I'm going to speak to a group of people. It's a beautiful day. I was on the fence about wearing shorts. They are much more comfortable, right? But does it send the message that you are just way too casual? In the end, I opted for pants. I didn't feel great about it, until I caught wind of the whole pantless Patrick Ewing thing. Now I'm really glad I won't be wearing shorts.
A question only a Knick fan would ask (speaking of Donnie Walsh): "Is he getting enough in return for Zach Randolph?" In fairness, it's from a very thoughtful analysis of the proposed Knicks/Grizzles trade by Mike of Knickerblogger. Just made me laugh because Randolph makes a metric ton of money, can't win, often hurts his team with selfish play, ties up the cap space every team wants for 2010, and has already had major injuries.
Everybody important is injury prone, almost nobody was built to be a pure role player, almost nobody has seen playoff action, the team has yet to show it can defend or run, and the team hasn't seen the playoffs in ages. Yet somehow Blazer fans are debating which year they'll win their first title. I'll take 2010-2011. Thematically related: Greg Oden sings.
