Hoops...


1.Taller = better?!? Two weeks ago, Your Nets lost their second straight game of the season, 24-21. (That made us 3-2 on the year.) For the first time all season, The Playmaker came across a player who was ... wait for it ... actually better than he was. Well, he wasn't better. But he was just as good, and he was three inches taller. The kid guarded The Playmaker the whole game. And while Our Son did score 10 points (on 5-9 shooting), he had to work extremely hard to get anything off. (He also went 2-2 from the foul line, making him a perfect 4-4 on the year.)

2. Hey, Coach -- you SUCK! This past Saturday, we got things corrected and defeated an undefeated team, 28-21, to improve to 4-2. The Playmaker led the way with 12 points on nifty 6-8 shooting. The other coach was a TOTAL DOUCHEBAG and we enjoyed seeing his arrogant smirk turn into a pissed off frown. We damn near went over to him after the game and quoted Randy Moss: Everyone know who we are! ("Isn't that right, sir?!?")

3. Don't forget The Playmaker's Sister! She finally got on the board this season and scored 4 points (2-2 shooting) in her team's 2 point loss.

4. Hair like that is not cool! With no NFL game to watch, we watched college hoops Saturday afternoon and then got to actually watch the 76ers on TV at night. We watched the first quarter with The Playmaker and then DVR'd the rest to watch Sunday morning. Wow -- the 76ers have actually become a solid team. They easily put away the Jazz, 96-85. (Granted, Utah was playing the final game of its road trip, as well as the second end of a back-to-back). Elton Brand is now actually an above average player. And Lou Williams is money off the bench. Heck, the 6'1" Williams even had two dunks in the game. We had never seen him dunk once in his career. Never. The only thing more amazing was the 'do of Andrei Kirilenko. As Jose-from-Norristown would say, "What's up with that?!?"

5. SJH24's son dropped 25! Not only that, but his whole team had only 32 points. Well done, Junior, well done.
