Bad Move For Howard?

Dwight Howard recently signed on to the Rockets. Is really isn't a big deal. Howard lost his "skills" after he left The Magic. He didn't contribute to much on the Lakers. They didn't even make it to the playoffs last year. That's horrible. I felt bad for Kobe.

But to choose the Rockets? The Rockets suck. (No offense Rockets Fans). But they haven't done anything since they had McGrady, and that was a long time ago. Like I said before, Howard is loosing his "skill" or his game if you prefer. He won't contribute any positive push to the team. If he was on a team with Kobe and didn't get the playoffs, what makes him think being on a team alone will make them get there? All they have besides him is Harden and Lin. Mainly just Harden. 

I think Howard might have an ego problem, except he isn't good enough to have a big ego. I mean, if he was like LeBron, I would understand, but he's not. The only reason he's been an all-star the last few years is because there's not very many outstanding centers in the NBA. 

Good centers besides Howard are like Chandler, Noah, and Duncan. Noah is the only one who hasn't been an all-star who should have been. I'm telling you, the Bulls are going to come back this season. 

Celtics, Better Deal Than Nets?

Recently there was a trade between the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets received Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry and the Celtics received Kris Humphries, Reggie Evans, Gerald Wallace, Tornike Shengelia, Keith Bogans,  and three future first round picks.

Okay, a lot of people are going to say that the Nets got the better deal, they didn't. Okay here's the lineup for the Nets. PG Deron Williams. SG Joe Johnson. SF Paul Pierce. PF Kevin Garnett. C Brook Lopez. Okay at first look it looks like an all-star team. But you have to look at it differently. Half of the team is way past their prime. Garnett is not the same player he was on the Timberwolves nor the player he was when he first joined the Celtics. Pierce has also losing his game. Both are good players still, but the team is no where near a championship.

Garnett is 37, Pierce is 35, Terry is 35, Johnson is 32, Williams is 29, and Lopez isn't even an all-star. His age doesn't matter. Williams may be in his 20s, but he is way overrated. Johnson was better when he was on the Hawks, he hasn't done much since his trade to the Nets. Just like Williams, he was better on the Jazz.

Now lets look at what the Celtics got out of the deal. Humpries, and average forward. Evans, eh a decent player. Wallace, a good player. Shengelia, decent. Bogans, (speaking as a Bulls fan) I was glad the Bulls got rid of him, no offense to him, but he isn't anywhere near an allstar, but still a decent player. Then they got 3 future 1st round draft picks. So when all the old men on the Nets are retiring, they wont have any 1st round picks to replace them. The Celtics will. Plus remember the Celtics still have Rondo, Green, Lee, Bass, and Wilcox.

Maybe for the next season the Nets got a good deal, but in the long run the Celtics got the better deal.

Patriots In Need?

In need of a tight end at least. They've lost Aaron Hernandez as I'm sure everyone has heard by now. Plus they've practically lost Rob Gronkowski to injuries. Who will play tight end?

Tim Tebow. Perfect fit for tight end. Yes, he is a quarterback. But he isn't going to play QB on the Patriots, they have Tom Brady, one of the best QBs in the NFL. Unless he gets injured of course. But Tebow is a good fit for tight end. He's big, fast, and quick. He's 6 foot 3 inches and weighs 225 lbs. He ran the 40 yard dash in 4.71 seconds. His vertical jump is 32.5 inches that's almost 3 feet. That's pretty good.

I know the Patriots have considered it, it's just up to Tebow now. He consistently states that he is in fact a quarterback and will always play quarterback. That's all well and good, but he's no Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. He's never going to become a superstar quarterback, but he could become a superstar tight end. He has the potential to become one.

If I were Tebow, I would seriously consider playing tight end on the Patriots. Since he wont be playing much of quarterback with Tom Brady ahead of him.

NBA Finals Fixed?

I am not a Heat fan, nor will I ever be. I'm just going to throw that out there now before I start rambling on how much I can't take the Heat.

I will admit that LeBron James is a great basketball player and probably one of the best in the league currently. Although, he is not nor anywhere near as good as M.J.

Michael Jordan is one hundred times the player that LeBron will ever be. You don't believe me, lets look at the facts.

Michael Jordan: 6 time NBA Champion. 5 time MVP. 10 time Scoring Champion. 3 time Steal Leader. 3 time Minute Leader. 14 time NBA All-Star. 3 time NBA All-Star MVP. 6 time NBA Finals MVP. 1 time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. 11 time All NBA. 9 time All Defensive. NBA All Rookie. NBA Rookie of the Year. 2 time NBA Slam Dunk Champion.

Now lets compare the greatest player of all time to LeBron James.

LeBron James: 2 time NBA Champion. 4 time MVP. 2 time NBA Finals MVP. NBA Rookie of the Year. NBA Scoring Champion. 2 time NBA All-Star MVP. 9 time NBA All-Star. 9 time All NBA. 5 time NBA All Defensive. NBA All Rookie First Time.

Shorter. Yes. But you may say, well James is younger. Okay, that's a good point. Except. James didn't do anything when he was alone on the Cavs, he needed other All-Stars (Wade. Bosh isn't an All-Star). He didn't get a ring until he joined up with Wade. Jordan got six rings on the same team he started on. He didn't have any other "Super-Stars". Yes, Pippen was a great player as well, but he wasn't anything without Jordan.  Wade on the other hand won a championship without James. Hmm. What does that tell you?

It seems to me, that James needed Wade. Wade didn't need James.

Back to the matter at hand, The NBA Finals this year were, sorry Heat fans, totally fixed. Come on. Back and forth with the Spurs. Then miraculously the Heat win game 7. Wow, didn't see that one coming. If I were a Heat fan, I would never worry about the Heat losing in the NBA Finals, because Game 7 will always be fixed. Thank you Mavs for beating them in their first NBA Finals appearance.

Back to the Heat. It's not James' Heat. It's Wade's Heat. Wade was always on the team, he wasn't a trader like James who left his team and joined up with another team. Speaking of traders, Ray Allen. Wow, when I first heard that he left the Celtics to join the Heat just so he could get a ring...wow....Way to support your team there Ray.

Next year will determine everything. You wanna know why? Wait for it...It's the return of Derrick Rose! Bulls are going all the way, you can bet on it. Rose is going to come back 200% and the Bulls are going to be amazing. Just wait and see.

NBA Finals Fixed or Not? I say.......Fixed. Sorry Heat fans and Bandwagon Heat Fans...
