March Madness

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 23:57:36 PDT

Given that a lot of the top teams aren't playing like top teams, march madness truly is Madness this year, the question is is anyones bracket still intact? Kansas was routed out first round, Georgetown was routed out, the insanity!

My prediction is that we all need to sit down, buckle up because it is going to be a bumpy ride. We're all setting up for a massive blow out, and I think it will be a relatively unknown school that comes away with the upset.

biggest upset of the year

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 06:24:25 PDT

kansas was beat by Northren Iowa yesterday in a stunning sweep. What happened!?! what was the issue with Kansas's play! where was the intensity! I DEMAND ANSWERS! lol.

people everywhere are tearing up their brackets as the number one overall seed was decimated.Personally via my ESPN tournament bracket, i had 220 points for the first round putting me in the top 80th percentile, then Kansas's loss put me in 45%.

Will Kentucky win the final 4

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:28:07 PST

In recent events, Duke shut down UNC hard, so because of that do you think that Kentucky deserves the chance to be the winners of the final four? If UNC can lose to Duke, and Kentucky can beat Duke, then whos to say that Kentucky doesnt all but have this wrapped up? My thoughts are that if Kentucky keeps playing the way they have been recently, then they have a clear title win in their grasp, its all but up to them not to choke. It all comes down to who wants it more, and i think the Jayhawks want it pretty bad.

After all if they got into the final 4 last year, im pretty confident they'll repeat because they only lost a few players due to seniority. but as long as they keep their defense up strong, they wont have to worry too much about games.

Should the Lakers trade Kobe for LeBron

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 11:48:00 PST

So after watching the Cavs play for the last few weeks, and being a current Southern Cal Resident, I came to a few thoughts.

First LeBron is playing better than Kobe, and has more years left in the NBA than Kobe does.

Second Kobe has hit his peak 2-3 years ago.

third LeBron has yet to reach his peak, and hes averaging 40 points a game.

So the question is, would LeBron be a better fit for the Lakers at this point, because of his natural leadership qualities and abilities to score mass amounts of points, would the Ron Artest / Gasol / James Combo be as leathal as the Kobe-Artest-Gasol combo.. Thoughts?

Pistons player has Seizure

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:08:59 PST

During the final moments of the 3rd quarter, Rodney Stuckey has a seizure during the game, fortunately for him that medical personel were standing by to catch him as he began to fall. in other news, Detroit held its own vs the cavs today, as a disillusioned Cavaliers team seemed to give up without too much of a fight. However since Lebron is in his last stages of his contract that could have a lot to do with it. Hey Orlando, Pick up LeBron and put him with Dwight Howard. Dynasty much?

Ryan Bader the next big thing

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:10:39 PST

Ryan Bader, light Heavyweight fighter on the UFC circuit recently dominated Keith "the dean of mean" Jardine, whom we all know is a definate tough contender, he has constantly held his own before yet when Bader came in the former Div.1 All American Wrestler showed how strong he really is. Keith Jardine seemed like he was outclassed, losing his last few fights in a row it really does seem like his time if finally up on the top 10 contender rankings. While he is a good fighter, it just seems like he doesnt have what it takes anymore. its my thoughts that if Ryan Bader can keep his momentum and training up, he could very well be the next champion. Watch out Tito Ortiz, Anderson Silva, Ryan Bader is sending a message. " Darth" Bader is here and hes showing hes a
