Kevin Garnett suspended for Game 2 of the seven game series with Miami, and rightfully so. Garnett went on to say "I saw Paul grab his shoulder, as a stinger or whatever, so I just tried to immediately call [Celtics trainer] Ed [Lacerte] over," Garnett explained after the game. "I tried to give him some room and I just saw [Quentin Richardson] standing over him talking nonsense. I asked [Richardson] to give him some room and, before you knew it, mayhem started.” Source ESPN.
“I asked to give him some room and mayhem started.” So you mean to tell me you said, Hey Q, could you please move? He said no and a fight broke out? What about the bony chicken wing you dropped on his face? This seems very similar to the incident in Atlanta for the 08 playoffs. Yeah, I was there.
Get it together, you were baited and you fell for it hook-line-and-sinker. Now you will have a front row seat to watch D-Wade drop 40 on your squad while Miami knots the series up 1-1. Congrats to KG, the NBA’s New Triple OG.
Come on DUDE…. You haven’t played ball and someone talked trash? I remember balling and was called Urkel, Nerd boy, Poindexter, Little Professor, and a host of feminine names……
The NBA Playoffs are upon us….. And I can honestly say that I haven’t felt the hype around the playoffs like this since the Chicago Jordans ran the 90s.
All of the talk has been about the Lakers and Cavaliers and rightfully so. But what is with all the talk of the Heat, and Celtics competing East and the Spurs and Nuggets being sleepers in the West. There are two teams that will have fairly high seeds going into the playoffs that are getting no recognition. I have heard no one mention them outside of their local fan base. No one is giving them a chance outside of their regional markets.
Yes, I’m talking about the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks.
Both have now locked in a #3 seed in their respective conferences and are claiming over 30 wins at home during the regular season. Each has seen the emergence of big time players in Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson. Amare is playing as if he is worth max contract money going into the off-season. He is a man possessed and his game has elevated to a level that has not been seen in the valley of the sun for years. He is has seen his productivity rise since the addition of Robin Lopez down low. Joe Johnson is simply being Joe. Taking over games in the 4th quarter and supplying Al Horford and Josh Smith with the touches they need to keep defenses honest. Rumors of Joe not returning to Atlanta next year will weigh heavy on the Atlanta faithful, but it’s simply the business of the NBA.

Joe Johnson and Josh Smith going off
I'm not "stat cruncher guy" looking for different numbers to support my case. I simply see what these guys are doing on the court and I don't think anyone wants to match up with them on their way to the championship.
Through the long long days of summer, football geeks from across the land crunch numbers, review rosters, and kiss butt to determine their top 25 rankings.
I have included 3 of those early top 25 rankings to compare what they have found. Interestingly enough, Boise State may take the persona of the Butler Bulldogs team that made the Final Four and fell just short of the championship. Are the Alabama's, Ohio State's, and USC's of the land ready for a possible Mid-Major invasion of the BCS Championship Game? I need just a little more time before I put together a top 25. I may even call one of those Ivy-League nerds to come up with my own BCS formula.
Pretty self-explanatory I guess…. Yet I had to put this together simply because we are going into a time of year where Football is gearing up for next season.
Basketball is nearing its end. And Baseball’s opening day can be an exciting event, but it dies down until the races for the division and wild card heat up. With this being said, this is the time of year that people look for things to talk about and it just so happens that I like to talk about this stuff….
But it doesn’t stop there. Not only do we love our favorite teams and athletes, but we love the drama they carry along with them. When we say drama, we take it all from Ace Ventura calling out Tiger Woods' wife via Twitter - courtesy of EW.com to Reggie Bush supposedly leaving Kim K. for a country singer – courtesy of TheGlobalGrind.com. Famous people's drama makes the world go round, so please believe their drama is welcomed here.
Yeah, Super Bowl Champions put in major work during the off-season.
So when you are at work, home, or wherever your iPhone, iTouch, or iWhatever can connect, think of Sports Is My High to help kill some time.
