Gift Card Arbitrage Opportunities

New for the holiday season. I can see the Knicks using Stephon Marbury's forfeited dollars pretty wisely here...

Gift-card Arbitrage

What a Fool Believes, He Sees

Kidd to the Mavs brings Devin Harris on board to caulk the leaks on the Nets long sinking ship. Oh, he came with like 9 bigs -- Nets are anticipating the scheduled injuries to Magloire, Boki and, (Rod Thorn sighs), Krstic this year. Larry Frank must have gotten the "Good planning makes elusive dreams come true" fortune cookie the other night. Let's hear it for Boy Geniuses!


Anyway, the idea of the total choir boy Harris being somehow corrupted by Marcus "Laptop" Williams amuses me.



I can see these two becoming fast friends. The body they push onto the highway together will be Vince Carter, after realizing he's playing alongside Stromile Swift at center for 35 minutes a game.



You can say it looks good but dude, you can hear the creaks!

Why Don't You Play the Game?

What in the, I say...what in the??

Yosemite Sam, you are not the only one (or the only Sam) with your knickers in a bunch this week, trying to figure out how the Hornets are in first place in the West.



It really comes down to this: Chris Paul is the equivalent of this kid playing the solo on Daft Punk's "Digital Love"



He isn't the belle of the ball...

like a LeBron



or a Kobe



or even an Artest (please come to New York)



...but he's holding off Dirk like it's 1944



Actually BEING like a member of Daft Punk in my metaphor would be like being Dwane Wade, which, by the way, brings me to my next idea: I think I have a new logo for The Heat.

God Frowns On Spliffs

Note: I don't use drugs or advocate using drugs. But the ridiculous question I was presented with this morning, as I checked my daily dose of nba NEWS for UPDATES is, 'Does the big guy with a beard up in the sky really frown on smokin A PLANT?'


"Get me some rizlas dog, them 2 inchers."

Does God even have an opinion on drug use??




Does anyone cares??!?

YES ACTUALLY! Apparently Tom Ziller of the aol fanhouse is not afraid to boldly blog where no man has blogged before. Here, he moralizes about recreational drug use among well-paid youths with infrequent deliberative cognition requirements! Or whatever it is marijuana likely impairs!

Please dear reader, do your best Earl Warren (King Solomon? Tom Ziller??) and chime in. Is marijuana usage a sin!? Says Udonis Haslem:

"Nah dog."

Next witness is the most-known-unknown 2006 Detroit Pistons. Could God ever be upset over this?!



I REST MY CASE!!

I Drop Unexpectedly

Happy New Year, enjoy.
