I totally forgot KJ was running for Mayor of Sacramento.

[video] "There Can Only Be One" Again

None of these with the Pistons, eh? Here's arguably two of the league's illest point guards right now, Steve Nash & Jason Kidd:

[video] There Can Only Be One

Nice promos from the NBA. You can just feel the Playoffs in the air, right?!

LeBron James and Kevin Garnett


Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal


I like these. Especially since they did two cats in the East and two in the West.

[video] Super Shaq

I know today is Kobe Bryant Blog Day, but check out this stage-dive Shaq did the other night:



That was like from the three point line to the 3rd or 4th row!

Shaq: Bad For The Suns?

In this week's shocker, FOX Sports has an article saying that, based on his first seven games, Shaq's move to PHX is not looking so good for the Suns. No sh*t. Next thing they are going to report is that Jordan shouldn't have come back with the 4-5...

From MIA to PHX?

"Shaq, you stupid..."

So, the word is that Miami is all set to send Shaq to Phoenix for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks?!? This is obviously pending on medical examinations which could disrupt this whole trade, due to Shaq's broken body (do these exams test broken heart disease? how about broken ego syndrome), but wow. Why Shaq? Marion is set to be out, which I can understand, and I guess that, what, with Pau Gasol in L.A. (and lighting up my Nets with EASE), no one else was available? Shaq hasn't been SHAQ in a while. What's the draw?

I guess divorce will make an otherwise reasonable baller do some strange things.

Hang Time: Amare Stoudemire

Simple and plain: Amare with the one-handed power-slam.



Dude is mean, even when he's uncontested.

Merry Christmas, Grant Hill



This is the nastiest dunk that I've seen in a long time. Lakers won, 122 - 115.

Makes Me Wanna Holler

Stephon Marbury has definitely been going through his own personal troubles, from his auntie recently passing to his on and off court trials and tribulations with the Knicks. Add on top of that the losing of his father during this past Sunday's loss to the Phoenix Suns, and you have to feel for dude.

We here at HYSMD send our condolences to Stephon and the Marbury family in this time of sorrow. Reading in the paper today, they quoted Marbury as saying his mother has lost a lot of her people in the last 5 years, but I'd imagine this loss might be one of the hardest to take. Keep your head up.

TBLA.

Man...I don't even know what to say at this point. I watched a good portion of the game and....*sigh*. It's just painful, man. Ben Wallace is a massive waste of money. Kenny and Charles were right in saying that he probably regrets signing with the Bulls. It is painfully obvious that he does not fit in with the Bulls and I sincerely wish we would have kept the much younger Tyson Chandler. At the time, I just knew we were winning the East with Big Ben on our team but I neglected to notice the fact that his stats have been declining every year. He provides no offense and now is providing little defense and little rebounding. In short, he's not earning his pay check.

As for the other areas of the Bulls' sub-par game play, the point guard position is looking incredibly shaky. Hinrich seems to be more comfortable playing off the ball. His shooting has been terrible and he has been turnover prone as well. Hinrich has taken several steps back in his game play this year.


Luol Deng hardly looks untouchable at this point. His shooting percentage has dipped, he looks shaky out on the floor, and definitely isn't looking like the same player that opposing teams feared last season. Ben Gordon has been the main bright spot, offensively speaking. He leads the team in scoring, but it always seems like he has to exert a tremendous amount of energy to get his points. If he goes down (like he almost did when he bumped knees with a teammate last night) then the Bulls are going to be in a world of hurt. Nocioni was a gunner out there, but that's nothing new. He looked decent out there but I feel like he chucked up way too many three pointers. Tyrus Thomas provided a nice spark off the bench, but Scott Skiles doesn't seem to trust him out there on the floor.


The Bulls' defense was the foundation of the team and it appears to have vanished. Their transition defense was put to shame against the high-octane offense of the Phoenix Suns and Leandro Barbosa absolutely lit them up from the three point line. They gave too many easy baskets on fast breaks, back door cuts, and open jumpers. For a little while, it seemed as though the Bulls would dig themselves out of the hole they made but a turnover here and a bad shot there ended any hopes of a comeback.

The Bulls' main problems are that there is no go-to guy and there is no real leadership on the team. Case in point - Adrian Griffin called a players-only meeting to discuss the team's troubles. I appreciate him stepping up to the plate, but let's be real here; this guy is getting ZERO minutes. Why is the guy who is barely on the roster the one to be calling players-only team meetings?

The Bulls have five more games to play on this road trip and the way they are playing, there is a very real possibility that they will come back to the United Center with a record of 1-11. Not only would that be a nightmare for them to recover from, but it should also bring about the removal of many members of the Bulls organization. Many analysts are saying that the Bulls shouldn't panic because the season is still young, but at this point I think we've been figured out as a team and need to make some drastic changes immediately.

Oh well...there's always Cheria.
