…hope all of you had a great New Year celebration. Raise a glass to watching the Raptors improve all around and make some noise in the playoffs.

I wonder if they should bring self-evaluation to our education system? I mean, if it’s good enough for an NBA coach, why not today’s youth?? Have trouble in math? Give me a number. 854? Cool, good number, give yourself an A.

With all the hassles that Thomas is going through and the manhate from the crowd, you have to be amazed anybody would want to take over a struggling franchise. Scottie Pippen says screw that, I was annoying as a player and leeched off of someone better than me, so let me impart those qualities on the youth of the Bulls. I would dread a Byron Scott/Scottie Pippen head to head coaching duel. The posing happening on both ends of the court would rival this.

Okay, so let me get this straight. Iverson is usually a pretty vocal guy and speaks his mind. He comes out and says he would like to re-up in Denver, for as many as six years. Cities like Toronto have live-to-air press conferences when stuff like that happens. Now comes word that the Nuggets might be shopping AI and possibly sending him back to the East in exchange for Jason Kidd. The Nets said no.

Did you know that Chauncey Billups is a thief and that the WWE’s Undertaker played high school ball with Magic Johnson? No? Well, here are some more fun facts.

I for one was ecstatic to see Bosh call out his teammates. It’s also interesting to see fans question the chemistry on this years Raptors team. Goes to show that chemacterility is very important in today’s NBA. No love = no ring.

Is it time to let the moon set yet? Interesting fact I came across as I perused the mid-level rankings the Raptors are getting lately: Jamario has only earned more that one trip to the free throw line in a game ONCE this season. Abysmal.

Lots of ball on the tube tonight. Grab a chair, order a pizza, and throw it down.
