Random

The NBA season is finally coming to a start with only 7 day left to go, and that also means Fantasy Basketball is about to start! My team is looking pretty good so far, other than the fact I lack talent in the Center department.

My team consists of:

PG: Gilbert Arenas (In the first 4 games of pre-season shot 11-42 after coming back from knee surgery, that makes me worry he wont blow up like he did last season, but my hopes are high)
SG: Paul Pierce (Will be interesting to see how he does with the 2 of the other deadly Celtics, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen)
SF: Gerald Wallace (I see great things coming from Gerald Wallace this year, but will be interesting to see how well he does with Jason Richardson at his side, hopefully I'll see a points and rebounds increase from him)
PF: Dirk Nowitzki ( Probably the biggest steal in my fantasy draft at 7th pick, expecting great things from dirk, which include an increase in points and a better or as good FG% from him. Also I hope he can increase his rebounding, i don't like it when my PF's can't grab at least 10 boards.)
C: Ben Wallace (One of my not so great centers, who's number has dropped since coming to the Chicago Bulls)

Util: Joe Johnson
(As the leader of the Hawks I'm looking at him to continually bring in the points, and hopefully stack some rebounds, assists, and 3's along the line)

Util: Zac Randolph (A player who broke out last season having a 24 - 10 season, will be interesting how he fits into the Knicks when he has to share points with Curry and rebounds with Lee)

BN: Ron Artest
( I don't know where Ron Artest stands, but I can see him being like a Gerald Wallace possibly)

BN: Brandon Roy (Last years Rookie of the Year and had awesome numbers as a rookie, just hopefully he is getting better and that his ankle stays healthy this season)
BN: Shaquille O'Neal (The Big Fat Diesel, he is ranked super low this year but after losing 25 lbs in the off season, he better put up some better numbers, and yeah the biggest fear about shaq is that he's old now and will probably get less playing time and is injury prone.)

Also excited to see what happens during this season of the NBA, a lot of big trades were done in the off season and extremely excited to see Kevin Garnett in a team that has a chance to win a championship. The only way I could see them winning the championship is if the bench plays there part and hits a few shots, which in the pre-season game against the knicks they were a bust!)


Also excited to see how the rookies do this season, too bad Greg Oden is out, but expect great things from a lot of them.


And Trade rumors about Kobe! I honestly think Kobe should be moved to another team, because honestly I don't think Lakers are going to acquire anyone good during the season. I'm also tired of hearing that baby cry and whine! The only reason I would possibly want him to stay is to have an old fashion good ol' Celtics vs. Lakers rivalry!


Other than Fantasyland and the NBA, I've been doing nothing and feeling like a SUPER bum! I Need to look for a job soon especially since I'm tapped out of money. The biggest thing holding me back is that I don't have Microsoft Word on this computer, and have to wait to buy a router on Wednesday. Then finally I can start applying to jobs and maybe make some cash that I so desperately need. Since I'm stuck with a lot of free time I tend to go out a lot and spend money I don't have and also watch a lot of television.

Shows that annoy me:


A shot with Tila Tequila
(This show is a dating show about a bunch of guys trying to get a girl and a bunch of lesbians trying to get that same girl. If it wasn't for the fact that she was kinda cute I probably wouldn't have even knew this much about the show)


WSOP: Main Event (2007)
Don't get me wrong, I am a huge poker fan, but I hate this show because it always makes me want to hit up Commerce Casino, and the fact I think Jerry Yang is a very bad poker player who always over bets the pots! This also continually shows me how many bad players get rewarded making terrible moves.

Shows that I like:

The Last Man Standing & Man vs. Wild (I don't know why, but I'm becoming a huge fan of the discovery channel. I find myself watching this show with my dad, which makes me think that I am actually becoming an old fart.)

The only movie I watched recently was the Game Plan with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, haha suprisingly it was pretty funny! Then again I am a sucker for Disney movies.
