Brendan Haywood: Unemployed Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nameplate

Brendan Haywood didn't play a single minute in Game 4 and left the bench area before the buzzer sounded. He was also the first Wizard out of the locker room. To make his future in Washington even more of a long shot, the nameplate above his locker stall already was missing when reporters filed in for post game comments. Washington Post

What the hell is the deal? First Telfair gets fired via locker nameplate removal, now Haywood too. Since when did the nameplate become a status symbol? I have a nameplate on my desk at work, I still don't make shit.
Okay I'm lying, I don't have a nameplate...
But Brendan Haywood and Sebastian Telfair don't either, so that puts me in pretty mediocre company. In fact, those two guys are like the Mellon and Rockefeller of mediocre.
I'm a mediocrity baron.

Monday, Muddy Monday

Honestly now...

Think he'll get a new nick name in the Slam?





All jokes aside, I feel bad for the Tractor and, to a lesser extent, the thousands of junkies going without a fix in Michigan...

No that's not a shower of cocaine, it's the backboard silly.

Cut Short: Dwayne Casey, Bernie Bickerstaff, (soon to be) Bob Hill


Extended: Doc Rivers, Isiah Thomas and (soon to be) Brian Hill





What's wrong with this picture? How the hell are the best 3 coaches out of these 6 awful teams the ones who lose their jobs, while the 3 worst coaches in the galaxy get cushy extenshes? Something weird is afoot...

Cavs and Bulls both lost, Clips and Warriors both lost. So for all my fellow Cavs/Warriors fans out there, hope is still alive, but we've got a hell of an uphill climb. Cavs pretty much need to win the rest of their games to pull a game ahead of the Bulls and lock up a top 4 seed, and to hold off the surging Raptors for the 2 seed. The Warriors need to do the same to gain ground on the Clippers and lock up that coveted 8 seed. All you high school football players, take a knee and say a prayer for Cleveland and Oakland...

Terry Stotts: Gone

The third coaching casualty of the season came earlier today as the Bucks axed Terry Stotts. As with Casey and Bickerstaff, this is another guy I didn't think deserved to be fired. He's had his back broken all year by injuries to his 3 best players, Redd, Simmons and Villanueva, on a team that is just not that great to begin with. He's done an admirable job, but I guess that's that. From the sound of it, this was a pretty nice guy, and the team just needs a change of direction.
