After receiving inspiration from the Ladies…, I am pleased to announce I have identified Chris Paul’s new nickname:
Chris Paul is Electro.
A reminder: don’t doubt me on the nickname thing. Bad idea.

Chris Paul Now Has a Nickname

From Adrian Wojnarowski’s column at Yahoo! Sports:
Whatever (Josh) Howard’s take (on marijuana use in the NBA), he didn’t need to breathe life into a week-old newspaper story that no one noticed by volunteering to on the radio and make matters worse within hours of Game 3. Of course, one of ESPN’s NBA house organs was calling the game, chastising Howard for dragging other NBA players into the story.
Quite frankly, I love what he’s done here.
(Okay, mostly taking two days off. Mostly.)

This wager will be major!
Saturday, March 15th, 2008Against my better judgment and the judgment of my lawyers, I’ve gone and Booked It at The Basketball Jones tonight. If I succeed in my pick, I pick tomorrow and again until I finally pick incorrectly. Since it’s my first time Booking, I asked for some help from a friend.
Wish me luck!
This is bad, Larry. Very bad.

AP Writers with a Sense of Humor
Thursday, February 28th, 2008
Please to be enjoying an AP writer with likely Cleveland ties working the long season in his or her own way, thankyouverymuch:
“I’m happy with (the trade to the Bulls),” (Larry Hughes) said. “We did a lot of winning in Cleveland and I gained a lot of good experience, but I was definitely ready for a change. I like the position I’m in now.”
Yes, it is indeed better to exchange all that winning experience for a new position.
Pacers guard Travis Diener wasn’t surprised by Hughes’ big night.
“He’s a good player,” Diener said. “There’s a reason he has a big contract. They don’t just throw money away to (bad) players.”
Please excuse Travis; the Pacers haven’t played the Knicks since February 6th.
Mike Dunleavy had 25 points, Diener scored 22 and Troy Murphy chipped in 19…
Hahahahhahahaahhaha… that’s great. How ridiculous would it really be if… oh. Really? Wow. Maybe there is just corn in Indiana.

C’mon, ABC. Clearly, Glen Davis was having a pretty serious allergy attack that day. Why not let him try again? Clearly, he knows how to pose for a picture:
Even a casual photo would be better:
After all, you don’t want to make him mad. It takes a lot to stop him.
NBA Trade Deadline Ideas (Early!)
Friday, February 8th, 2008Today in Tuffy History: I make trade suggestions for every NBA team. Most of them will probably bring federal investigations or, worse, the ire of David Stern. That’s how you know they’re good!
Also, tune into Treehouse Fort tonight to how Matt from Blog-a-Bull reacts to my trade ideas and the NBA season thus far. (Don’t tell him, but it’s actually an intervention.)
Steve Kerr and the Shaq Question
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008
The revolution is over. Thanks for coming by. Please turn your pamphlets in at the door on the way out. You can keep your T-shirts with Don Nelson in a beret and wispy facial hair with the revolution’s thanks.
Suns President of Basketball Operations, General Manager, and General Secretary Steve Kerr has looked over the Suns’ roster and salary cap situation quite thoroughly and determined there is no way the team with the best record in the conference can win a championship as currently constituted. The solution? Shaquille O’Neal for Shawn Marion (and Marcus Banks), naturally.
No, Kerr does not have access to a time machine. No, there’s no recent advances in speed cloning. Yes, Kerr likely still has all of his faculties.
In fact, Steve Kerr is still the thoughtful, intelligent, and reasoned human being that took the job less than a year ago. He is capable of comprehending the world through others’ points of view and is not trapped in a traditional mindset.
With these assumptions in place, there is merely one question to address: what the hell? (more…)
