march madness

NIT Madness Baby!

Been a minute since I updated here so haven't discussed the disaster that is Willie Kemp. So I've heard at least 5 people tell me the call on Kemp (double dribble/carry or whatever) was a bad call. No, it was the right call. You can maybe argue that you don't make that call in that situation. Or you could complain they didn't call a tech on the guy running on the court, or you could blame Pastner for not having Elliot Williams on the floor. Either way, we lost, I'm over it.

So we kick off our NIT run tomorrow against St. John's. I have no clue how good or bad they are. Potential second round game against Ole Miss would be fun, well...if we won. NIT is loaded with big name teams: UCONN, UNC, Illinois and NCAA outcasts like Va Tech and Miss. State.

So Kemp and Mack will have another "home" game. Will they ever leave?

NCAA

I haven't even really looked at the brackets that much, probably fill mine out tonight. Think I'm going to do 2 brackets. My first bracket, I'm going to fill out without looking at "expert" picks. I'm just going with name recognition and players I like. The second bracket will probably be a little safer with educated picks and not just "Oh I like Gody, I'm going with Notre Dame."

I'm sure everybody will have Kentucky and Kansas in the Final Four. Could be fun tournament with no dominate teams.

Grizz:

Ronnie Brewer is set to return tonight against the Bulls. Might be too little too late on our playoff push. We are now 5 games out of the 8th spot and Portland and Houston are both on little winning streaks.

NBA:

Celtics looked good last night as they Chris Brown-ed the Pistons. Note to Tony Allen and Nate Robinson, the little off the glass showboating last night was bush league. Take notes from the guys wearing the rings on the bench Nate, you're up 30, don't pull that shit. Tony Allen gets a pass cause who the fuck is Tony Allen? Although I will say this about Allen, he was involved in the greatest in game dunk by a non-star player ever.


Jesus can't jump that high. And it's all in one motion, no dribbles. Sick.

However, Tony Allen also did this...


Idiot.

Alright, enough Tony Allen.

I caught a lot of that GS/LAL game last night too. I know I'm stating the obvious right now, but damn Steph Curry is a baller! I love his game. Think my wife does too. She recognized him from the Davidson days and was like "Aww, look it's baby face brown eyes!" She even knew his name. Impressive. A little too impressive maybe. Hmm. Although, he is super cute.
