No Excuses.

Basketball is easiests sports to evaluate from my perspective. With in seconds of watching any game whether it be pick up, high school, Y league, toddlers, wheelchair league, ncaa basketball or nba you can spot the best player. It only takes maybe 5 trips downt the court before you can point out who the best player is. With that said why is it that year after year these Nba execs & gms botch draft picks. It simply is amazing.... Greg Oden over Kevin Durant? Darko over pretty much everyone in the '03 draft class not named lebron? Just continous "wtf" picks and thats where "no Excuses" comes in i am gonna list 3 players in the NCAA right now (not named John Wall) who won't have Gm's & Exec's looking like morons 2 years after the fact. I am gonna try to stay away from conventional guys.

1. Dexter Pittman 6'10 270lbs Texas C
In my opinion he is best center in the draft this year (we will see when him and Cole Aldrich square off). Those two should put on a show when they meet up twice this year in reg season one more time hopefully in their conf tourney. Aganist tougher competition Pittman has shown up ths guy isnt a slouch and I hope GM's realize this. Only knock is his conditioning right now.

2. Quincy Pondexter 6'6 215 Washington SF

QP is probably a late to first rounder or early second rounder none the less the guy can play. He does play in the Pac 10 but the guy can flat out shoot it. His game is similar to a Martell Webster both have smooth strokes loads of athleticism. His downfall is that he does get shot crazy at times but who wouldn't he plays on a average team where he has to force the issue.

3. Manny Harris 6-5 183 Michigan SG

I like to call Manny Harris...Jamal Crawford 2.0. Both went to the same school and both know how to flat out put the ball in the cup. Manny is a little light in weight but his ability to break people down off the dribble makes him a can't miss prospect.

John Wall Happens Here. Part: 2

X-mas 09...Wish List.

I am 21 years old. I do have a Christmas Wish List. Yes, I did send out three individual emails to my mom, dad & childless aunt (No CHILD! why not waste money on your sisters!) describing exactly what I wanted. Yes, I did include internet links to each item. No, I dont need any of these things. To bad I dont have a girlfriend who is head over heels for me & willing to spend all mom & dad's money on me. [Mental Note: Start looking ferciously for women around may (july bday) & october (xmas) that way all my needs ;) can be fulfilled] Now that we got that out of the way......onto the list!!

1. Asics Gel Lyte iii - $100

2. More Tim Tebow Crying moments (but only with someone clutching his head) - $2

3. Not to be ugly - Priceless

John Wall Happens Here.

Guess who's back....

No, no no... not him, ME! I know that you have all missed me but I am back. My life became very crazy and busy but I am not able to come back and entertain all four of my fans. Ok, I lied my life didn't get busy I just stopped writing for no reason.

Well, lets take a look at what has changed since my last writing...

- I am now a resident of Orlando, Fla. (This post was written in Ocala, Fla. however)

- The Cowboys have ended their streak of terrible December play. (Just kidding)

- Kentucky basketball is back in full force like I said they would be after they got that great recruiting class. 10-0 on the season and ranked #3 in the nation.

- Webb has finally become and man and is preparing to move out of Ocala to persue his dream of having a future... we will have to wait and see if this actually comes true.

- On a sad not, I now work at Hollister... yes, that gay store that smells like cologne and is really dark with loud music. I needed a job in Orlando and that's what I got so, shut up!

- The babe amount has hit epic numbers in Orlando for me... I have to swat some away because I am still busy with another. (Ya, I lied)

I am happy to say F2L is now ready to take off again. Expect much of the same as before:

*JOHN WALL*

my 2009 Finals MVP

...Trevor Ariza..... shot 32% from 3 during the reg. season which isn't a shocker. But in the finals he shot a blistering 47.4% simply incredibile cause this is the definition of raising your game. Also aside from Kobe & Phil, Ariza probably enjoyed this championship the most. Shooting the Magic's eyes out and giving them (the magic front office) the finger for trading him for NOTHING. so congrats Ariza (& odom) glad you guys did it.

trevor arizal!

A look back at my awesomeness

At the beginning of the NBA Playoffs, myself, Webb and Deez all picked the way we thought the playoffs would go. Click here.

As you can all guess... my picks were the best and I picked 3 of the final 4, both Finals teams and the Champs.

So ya...

P.S.- Feel free to make fun of Webb for his picks.

Back from the Dead.

dear D Fish,

i thought C Lee killed you in Game 3 when he posterized you but similar to Lazarus you came back to revive the Lakers. Kobe owes you a rolex, new car, his life or anything of your choosing for getting him his 4th. Magic had this game locked up for sure until you decided to do kill them not once but twice in one night (to tie the game & in OT basically clinching the series). Just like in '04 when you hit the game winning shot on the spurs with 0.04 seconds left. It is funny though as you jogged up the court for that last shot I was laughing and making fun of you because your washed up and was trusted to take the final shot to tie it all up. And just like that you made me look like a fool and nailed it. Previously 0 for FREAKING 5 from the 3. You stepped up like a Vet is supposed to. I can't be mad at you really. Jameer should've played the 3 point line instead of giving you the space and Dwight should've made his Free Throws. But congrats man and here is post 108 to commemorate your heroics last night.

Yours truly,

Webb

Ps - tell Gasol I LOVED that emotion after the hard foul. Epic. Tell him I have gained a ton of respect for him. Truthfully I was suprised he didn't back down or flop to the ground or pull some gay boy stunt. Really impressed me. Pietrus would've murdered him though...lol

I thought you were dead man honestly.

you can't guard anyone but then you

came back with 6.5 seconds left in Game 4

Breaking News: Magic set to lose to Jedi

NBA is RIGGED

and....#106

..Goes to Rafer cause we all know he is a fragile flower and doesn't handle criticism well.

But he definately earned this one. I know Orlando loves Jameer but you have to keep the ball in this guy's hands. I mean he did help you beat Philly, Boston & Cleveland. Also I may have been the only one who noticied but for a Point Guard Rafer is Jacked as F*ck. He was never like that in Houston..... But I mean with Dwight and Pietrus you can't be shocked there strength and conditioning coach has to be the best in the biz.



Skip To My Lou.

Deez is Burning

Here's what I'm burning on today:
1. The Magic- My Orlando Magic finally won the franchise's first NBA Finals game last night, shooting a scorching 62.5% from the field (an NBA Finals record). I watched the game as always with my nigga Patrick J and it was the usual rollercoaster ride of emotion that every Magic game is. As much of a knucklehead as Rafer can be alot of the time, he stepped up big last night along with the rest of the team. I thought my boy CLee, along with Peet, did a great job guarding Kobe in the 2nd half. Still, we cant expect to shoot that hot again and I'll be looking forward to a better defensive effort tomorrow night. Go Magic!2. Leaving the Nest- Me and PJ recently went down to Orlando with my parents to check out some appartments. My expectations were set quite low as to what the quality of our prospects would be. I was very pleasantly surprised by one complex in particular- The Fountains at Waterford Lakes. It's basically the shit. If everything works out, we will be moving in in the beginning of August. If that indeed does happen....babes in Orlando need to look out. We will have the #1 bachelor pad in town and they are all going to want to ride our shit 24/7. The apartment itself is sick and then theres the sand volleyball court that me and Pat are going to hone our skills on at least once a day. So basically I'm pretty excited about all that and I hope it works out because if it doesn't, were gonna be living in ghettoville USA aka somewere on University.

3. Millionaire Momma- While watching the Magic dominate last night, Momma Newport aka Meesk Moosk informed us that she will be winning the Florida Lottery today. She says she found this out about 5 days ago while in north Georgia with some family when God told her. I'm really hoping she's right because I have been promised that I will benefit from the winnings, which should total in the $20.5M range after taxes (she's gonna do the lump sum, not the lifetime bs). She has promised to purchase 2 Range Rover Sport's for me and Patrick J, along with countless other cool stuff (possibly a mansion next door to Dwight Howard in Orlando). Sooo basically were just waitin on the drawing tonight to begin the next, very rich chapter of our lives.


4. Alexander Carmichael Webber- Just wanted to point out again how much of a fag this guy is. If you've ever met him you know exactly what I mean. #1 his middle name is Carmichael...enough said. #2 he doesn't kick it with his homies as much as he should... or maybe he just doesn't kick it with me, making him even more shitty. #3 he's in a very serious relationship with a young lady but refuses to admit it's validity (closet homo anyone). #4 he's a Duke fan.

Rashard Lewis...#104

And Post number 104 goes to Rashard Lewis. If not for 'Shard (as Pat & Trev-trev call him) Game 2 could have been catastrophic. But he kept draining shots and keeping it close. I know its been two days since his awesome and I wanted to praise him earlier but I forgot. So here it is better later than never.


After scoring 34 points while shooting 12 for 21 and going 6 for 12 from downtown with 11 rebounds and 7 assists post number 104 is dedicated to you Rashard Lewis aka the 118 millon dollar man despite losing.

^Yeah i don't know about the picture I just wanted 'Shard without those two other fags.

& sorry for this, all love now shard.

So 2008.

i NEED this.

:)

100.

we did it. the 100th post.

98% of pat & i. and about 2% of deez.

Put on my Laker Jersey and I go rape white (!)

So today is probably gonna be kobe day all day on espn
a. Cav's fans will probably feel relieved upon seeing this.
b. Laker's fans will cry.
c. This would be a good look for Kobe that run & gun style in NY would equal buckets, buckets & more buckets

For some reason 2k is running a survey to see which cover fans like more. Three of them have kobe in the usual laker uni and the last one has him in a knicks jersey....yea absurd. Here is the linky winky

& lastily Kobe was unstoppable last night. doing any & everything he wanted. poor mickael & c-lee....but hooray JJ for shutting him the F- down.

Genius (or Luck)

I'm bored & this is what i think about.

The NBA 09' Playoffs. Where Amazing Happens. America is still in shock that America's new second favorite team was murdered so easily & quickly. Many are wondering how this happened to a team that had the Most Valuable Player of the Year, the Coach of the Year and Sporting News executive of the year. After watching the ECF we can now say 2 of those awards (COY & EOY) were not deserved. So it got me thinking about both teams in the finals, we already know how the Lakers got there with that roster. But the Orlando Magic have suprised everyone who watches the NBA. When you look at next season from now who is gonna stop the Magic in the East. With such a young nucleus and a coach that seems to be respected by his players this team could become a write in for the finals. The man who we can look to for some answers is probably the ex magic's general manager John Weisbrod (and we will examine Otis Smith). Now if your me and crazy you would analyze every move John Weisbroud made to see how such a dynamic roster was put together. This is the only way we can tell if this was pure genuis or simply a stroke of luck.

03 - 04 roster - Dwight Gooden, Juwan Howard, Britton Johnsen, Tyronne Lue, Tracy Mcgrady, Keith Bogans, Steven Hunter, Gordon Giricek, Andrew DeClercq, Rod Strickland, DeShawn Stevenson, Shammond Willams, Reece Gaines, Donnell Harvey, Zaza Pachiula, Pat Garrity (16)

We will start with the end of the McGrady Era. (Offseason 2004)

• General manager Gabriel gets canned. enter John Weisbroud (guts roster)
• Tmac wants out! Says no to rebuilding aka f*ck dwight
• T mac, Gaines, Lue and J. Howard traded to Hou. for Francis, Cato & Mobley
• Gooden, Hunter & draft rights of Anderson Varejo traded to Cle. for Tony Battie and two Second round picks.
• Hedo Turkologu becomes a free agent, with hopes of becoming a starter signs with ORL.
• In the NBA draft Orlando selects Dwight Howard with the Number one pick
• To round out there draft, Orlando traded a 2005 first round pick for the Nuggets Jameer Nelson.

04-05 roster - Steve Francis, Grant Hill, Cuttino Mobley, Hedo Turkoglu, Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, (the nucleus) DeShawn Stevenson, Kelvin Cato, Tony Battie, Pat Garrity, Andrew Declerq, Doug Christie, Stacey Augmon, Andrew Barrett.

• ABout ten games in Cuttino Mobley was traded for Doug Christie
• Grant Hill would be cleared to play 15 games in.
• Johnny Davis is fired & replaced by Chris Jent
• Weisbroud resigns (!), Enter Otis Smith
• In the NBA Draft, the magic select Fran Vazquez, Travis Diener. Vazquez decided to stay in Spain...lol.
• Sign FA Keyon Dooling
• Christie, Declerq Barrett become FA at end of season

05-06 roster - Steve Francis, Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson, Grant Hill, DeShawn Stevenson, Keyon Dooling, Tony Battie, Pat Garrity, Kelvin Cato, Travis Diener, Stacey Augmon.

• Brian Hill named Head Coach
• Kelvin Cato & top 2007 draft 1st rd pick traded to Det. for Darko Milicic and Carlos Arroyo (during season)
• Steve Francis traded to NY. for Anfernee Hardaway and Trevor Ariza (midseason)
• In the NBA draft Orlando selects J.J. Reddick (!), James Augustine, Lior Eliyahu & Ryan Hollins (offseason)
• Sign FA Keith Bogans at end of season. (offseason)

06-07 roster - Dwight Howard, Grant Hill, Hedo Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson, Trevor Ariza, Darko Milicic, Keyon Dooling, Carlos Arroyo, Tony Battie, JJ Reddick, Keith Bogans, Travis Diener, Pat Garrity, James Augustin

• Brian Hill Fired as coach (offseason)
• Billy Donovan Hired as Coach....Billy Donovan resigns as coach (lol)
• Stan Van Gundy Hired.
• Sign FA Rasahrd Lewis (offseason)
• Marcin Gortat traded to Orl for future cash considerations
• Drafted Reyshawn Terry
• Grant Hill becomes a FA

07-08 roster - Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson, Maurice Evans, Keith Bogans, Keyon Dooling, JJ Reddick, Carlos Arroyo, Keyon Dooling, Keith Bogans, Travis Diener, Pat Garrity, James Augustine, Trevor Ariza, Adonal Foyle

• Trevor Ariza Traded to LA for Brian Cook and Marurice Evans (midseason)
• Carlos Arroyo, Maurice Evans, Travis Diener become FA's (offseason)
• Garrity retires (sept. '08)
• Keyon Dooling Signed and Traded to NJ. (offseason)
• Orlando sign FA's Mickael Pietrus and Anthony Johnson (offseason)
• Draft Courtney Lee.

08-09 roster - Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Lewis, Keith Bogans, Brian Cook, JJ Reddick, Mickael Pietrus, Anthony Johnson, Courtney Lee, Tony Battie, Marcin Gortat, Adonal Foyle, Marcin Gortat

• Keith Bogans traded to Mil. for Tyronne Lue
• Brian Cook traded to Hou/Mem for Rafer Alston

And thats how this roster was assembled. Personally I think Weisbroud should be awarded, Otis Smith had two very questionable drafts and a free agent signing that was a blessing in disguise (Rashard). So like I thought it was a simple storke of luck to land a roster like this. But we will see what happens after the finals. Hedo is a Free Agent this summer and a very important part of this roster.

Another one of these...

and to go along with that here is a list of 11 sports fans we love to hate... I think Deezle falls into 3 of the categories.
