Season finally comes to an end in disappointing fashion as we lose on ESPN to the Thunder. Now onto more important issues: signing Rudy, signing Ronnie and extending Z-Bo. And maybe drafting somebody worth a shit. We have some late first round picks this year, so please, Chris Wallace, don't pull a Robert Archibald or Troy Bell pick. Maybe we should draft...
Elliot Williams has decided to turn pro and sign with an agent. He's been told he's a mid-late first rounder. Hmm, sounds an awful lot like CDR a couple years ago. What happened there?...oh yeah, 40th pick...to the Nets. Anyhoo, I really hope he makes it on a good team with a chance to compete for playing time, but something about it just screams to me..."Ladies and gentleman, MVP of the 2011 D-League All-Star game, Elliot Williams!" Is this just me?
Probably didn't want to get lost in the mix next year when the recruits come in and steal his playing time.
Back the Grizzlies. It would be nice to "win" the lottery and get like 9-12 pick or something. Anyway, way too much basketball left before the draft...the playoffs are set!
West Round 1:
Lakers/Thunder - Sorry Thunder, it's not time-yet. Durant has 15 more years to try to win titles, Kobe does not. Lakers don't play this time of year. Lakers sweep.
Mavs/Spurs - Battle of Texas in the first round? I like it. Mavs are hot right now, but the Spurs are coming on, and they're healthy. RJ signing will make a difference in the playoffs, he'll basically cancel out Shawn Marion I would think. Caron Butler lifts the Mavs in Game 7.
Suns/Blazers - B-Roy doesn't play = Blazers can't win a series. There is no way. Injury filled season finally ends. Nasty Nash does his thing. STAT is playing like a monster (or a guy looking to sign an extension). Suns coast in 5.
Nuggets/Jazz - Nuggets have no coach, Jazz's best player is hurting (Boozer). Should be a good series. If Karl was on the sideline I'd say the Nuggets win easily, but Jerry Sloan knows what he's doing. I really hate the Jazz. Nuggets in 7.
East Round 1
Cavs/Bulls - Bulls barely got in the playoffs and their team is in turmoil and while I love watching D-Rose play (Did you see his reverse dunk a couple nights ago?), there is no way this series is close. Cavs in 5.
Magic/Bobcats - Bobcats in the playoffs? This won't last long. Magic pull out brooms and send Larry Brown back to Philly in the process. Magic sweep.
Hawks/Bucks - No Bogut for the Bucks means no win for the Bucks. I still don't think ATL is mentally strong enough to win the East, but they can handle the Bucks. Hawks in 6.
Celtics/Heat - Celtics are a locker room divided according to my sources. D-Wade will win 2-3 games for the Heat in the series, but C's will prevail in 7.
Nothing too exciting in those predictions.

Eminem has changed the name of his next CD. There is no Relapse 2. Instead we get Recovery on June 22.
The Game released his long awaited 400 bars track. It's 20 minutes of him free-styling to Jay Electronica's Exhibit C
Snoop and Kid Cudi - That Tree
