It's Wednsday

Today was one of those days you just wanted to stay in bed.  The rain was pouring, the clouds were darkening, and it was cold.  Luckily, it’s Wednsday, where I can skip my morning class and wait til my 5 clock class.  The rain fills the streets, and the winds clog the sewers.  Modern Warfare 2 came out yesterday, and I got me a copy.  Haven’t played that much, in respect to my cousin, but I want to. Haha Anyways, lets go to the professional sport
How about them Kings.  For the first time in 3 seasons, the Kings are at .500 even.  And we have the rookie, Tyreke Evans to thank for that.  I honestly would’ve liked Steph Curry for the 1^st pick, but apparently Evans is proving himself.  I thought Curry would be a better fit because Kevin Martin is a 2 guard, and Steph Curry is a 1.  He’s a dribbler, passer, and shooter.  Tyreke Evans is merely a 2 guard, trying to play the one.  His assist-turnover ration is horrible, and is shot is wickedly ugly.  With no surprise, the Kings are still winning without Kevin Martin… I say no surprise because, Kevin Martin is nothing to me.  All he is, all he’ll ever be, is a shooter.  An efficient scorer/ shooter.  He’ll never get more than 5 rebounds or 5 assists a game for a season.  He lacks the dribbling skills and IQ to do so.  It’s funny how there’s sac people believing, Kevin Martin is a super-star in the making, and the next Kobe Bryant without Defense.  Hilarious.  The Kings are winning because the boy Kevin Martin doesn’t require touching the ball. Sure he might have given us points, but there’s no ball rotation.  Notice how Peja never got more than 3 all-star appearances.  I highly doubt Kevin Martin will top that.  Plus, Evan’s primary position is 2 guard, Martin’s spot.  Now that Martin’s injured, Evan’s is playing his primary position.  Results are proof. Oh and right now he’s currently ranked number 1 in rookie rankings.

Surprised that Hornets aren’t doing too well.  Same with the Spurs.  How about Miami though? Dwyane Wade had 40 last night against the Wizards. Boston and Miami only have one loss.  Washington, without Antwan Jamison, are a whopping 2-6.  Most of the Eastern Conference, beside the big 3, are all losing records.  Western Conference, have more teams above .500, with Phoenix leading the way, 7-1.  LA is 6-1 after losing to Dallas in Week 1.  Surprise of the week? Sacramento. 4-4, amazing. Haha.  Golden State is suffering, even though they put up 140 against Minnesota. 

Fantasy wise, team numbe 1 last week had a very interesting matchup against a very strong team.  Geelong Cats had Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, Rasheed Wallace, Luol Deng, Jermaine O’neal, Blake Griffin, Marcus Camby, Allen Iverson, Samuel Dalembert, Andrew Bogut, and Kirk Hinrich.  Two players on his team didn’t play, AI and Blake Griffin due to injury/personal Reasons.  He was actually beating me in the early week, up to Friday where he led 8-1.  Somehow, I pulled out with the 5-3 win, tying in rebounds.  My team also were without, Tayshaun Prince, Leandro Barbosa, and Tim Duncan.  I think the improvement of Tyreke Evans and Chris Bosh helped me pull out.  The categories I lost in were, steals, blocks, and turnovers. 

The second team, also ranked number one, played the first week.  I played All that Remains, who has Aaron Brooks, Manu Ginobli, Vince Carter, John Salmons, Andrea Bargnani, Luis Scola, Jermaine O’neal, Kobe Bryant, Devin Harris, and Chris Duhon.  Other than Kobe, I didn’t have anyone to worry about.  Manu was also injured on his team.  I had a strong performance by Rudy Gay and Deron Williams to take place of injured Yi Jinialian, and Troy Murphy.  I beat him 8-1, losing only in turnovers. 

NFL.

Who would’ve thought the 49ers would’ve been under .500 in week 10 of the NFL season at 3-5.  The beginning of the season looked promising, but after watching the last 4 games, has been quite the opposite.  Losing the last 4 games, the 49ers don’t have anyone mainly to blame but a combination of bad luck and horrible offense.   You could say it’s their turnover rate with newly inserted quarterback, Alex Smith.   Or you could say it’s the schedule they have, with their opponents being extremely good. Sure, the Vikings stole a victory away from us, but look at Tennessee and Indianapolis.  Both of those victories could’ve easily been ours.  But our offense failed to convert in the 2^nd half of the Colts game, and Alex Smith turned over the ball in the last 3 minutes.  Both of those games were our victories, which would have left us 5-3.  Instead, we our questioning our coaches, and the ability to run an effective offense.  Coach Mike Singletary told everyone last year and during the off-season that the 49ers were going to be a run run run offense.  Power and more power.  It’s great that he had the idea of being the power running team the NFL lacks, but once you tell that to your opponents, think about what the defense they’re going to run.  They’re going to put 8 men in the box 1^st and 2^nd downs, knowing the 49ers will run the ball.  And now that they’re trying to pass the ball, Alex Smith is throwing interceptions for touchdowns…So where do the 49ers go from here?  I say, keep up the risk, keep fighting for their season.  It’s  about moving the chains, and the play calls by coaches.  But it’s also up to the players moving the chains, tipping the balls that should’ve been caught.

Ravens and Broncos a fluke? They’re losing, and losing bad.  Broncos are 6-2, so not so much to worry about, although SD is 5-3 and catchin up.  Ravens are 4-4, which should be worried, with the Bengals and Steelers in front.  Cowboys have regained their conference on top of the Eagles and Giants.  Patriots are leading their league against the Jets and Dolphins.  Vikings are 7-1, no surprise here.  Saints and Colts are still undefeated.
