Jeremy Lin a good long term decision?


 Head coach of the Knicks Mike Woodson said today that they will absolutely re-sign the inspirational Jeremy Lin to at least a 5 million dollar contract. In my opinion i think that Coach Woodson is repaying Lin for the 6-1 superstar display that Lin showed Mid march right after former head coach  Mike D'Antoni expectantly resigned. During Lin's run there was a lot of criticism whether he could keep up his all-star performances which he did for quite a bit of time until things fell apart and went back to normal Knicks before his debut. Who know's this may be one of the best decisions the knicks could make or it could be a huge fantasy that doesn't come true.
 Jeremy Lin has shown that he could be a franchise superstar but, he has also shown that he can be the king of flop. At one point he was turning over the ball 50% of the time he came down the court...what the fuck. How can you be supposedly one of the best players in the league and you can even control the ball. that's the whole damn point of a point guard! BALL CONTROL! One day someone will definitely be able to say whether this was a good decision or no, but for now it's up in the air.

Should Spurs feel accomplished after sweep on Jazz?


Should the spurs really feel like they are up to par after they swept through the Utah Jazz in the first round? I'm not quite sure they should, they Jazz are very young and inexperienced when it comes to the playoffs. Compared to the spurs who are a little more seasoned and have been around the block a lot more. Personally i think until they play a more mature team down the line they have yet to prove that they are ready to take home a title this year. If you ask me the spurs remind me of the Mavericks last year, an old ass team who realize that their career is coming to an end so they are fighting and clawing to win the championship. It's not possible i don't care if you have some of the smartest, mature players in the league you need speed, quickness and agility! That's why my pick to take the whole title is the OKC Thunder they play with so much speed and intensity they are hard to defeat. The spurs would have to have a huge strike of luck to win it all , but anythings possible. I learned that anything could happen after Derrick rose(bulls) and Shumpert(thunder) both fell out of the playoffs with season ending injuries.

Terrell Suggs out for season with torn Achilles Tendons

Suggs said he injured himself while practicing the Ravens' conditioning test, which every player needs to pass in order to suit up for training camp. While working out at his old high school in Chandler, Ariz., he felt something turn when he stopped. Other sources have said he hurt himself while playing a pickup basketball game. How stupid do you have to be to have a season depleting injury when the season is right around the corner? Accident or not, this is a bad loss for the ravens, fortunately they picked up Alabama's line backer Courtney Upshaw in the 2012  Draft.

OKC to sweep title defenders?

The young thunder are up in the first round of the NBA playoffs 3-0 against the defending title champs dallas mavericks.


Durant on the fast break dunk against the win in game three. The thunder are up three games to none against the defending champs, Dallas Mavericks. They have succeeded in guarding Kevin Durant keeping him to a low shooting percentage in the first two games of the series, but could not stop at the game where he strives. The Thunder won both their home games and won yesterday in Dallas and now all they have to do is keep the aggravated star for the Dallas mavericks under control to complete their  sweep.
