Rangers team chemistry is gone; I admit I was wrong about Mavs; I own the Brandon Bass suit....

A few things I have to talk about....

The Rangers team chemistry has taken a major hit this offseason. As the regulars know, I am a huge team chemistry fan. I think it is what makes a team take it to the next level. Before last season, the Rangers had no team chemistry. Then Milton Bradley came in and I think really meshed this team and taught them how to have fun. He was the best thing to ever happen to this team in so many ways. The other guy that might be suprising is Gerald Laird. He was the goof ball of the team, the guy that was always having fun. This next years team might take a huge hit this next year now that all fun is gone.

Who is going to replace this? Michael Young? Hah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing is I was wrong about that Jason Kidd trade. Well shit.... I am wrong, we should not have traded our point guard of the future for a 35 year old baldy... Yes, Jason Kidd has been pretty good this year, but that does not exclude the fact that Devin Harris is having an even better season making a big name for himself with a team not called the Mavericks.

Tonight, he dropped 41 points on us making us look silly as his team completely obliterated the Mavericks scoring 127 points.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third and Last thing....

So I was at Macy's looking at suits and this guy was helping me out to find a pinstripe suit. I was looking at some and he told me none of those would fit me because of my height.

Long story short, I had a little selection to choose from. He showed me this one suit and said "A mavericks bench player named Bass came in and got this one" . I was like sweet, I'm getting this one. Not to mention it was 50 percent off.

my turn

First, I won the spelling bee in the 3rd grade.

Next, I just took a huge dump (I ate Chuy’s for lunch).

Finally, our Christmas cards this year were weak compared with previous years’ efforts.

Hopefully others will follow the theme here and post random shit that nobody cares about.

lol, yep

same here on the Kidd trade.

AJM was right from the start about this one. Even though Kidd is having a pretty good year, Devin Harris is a rather beastly player. This is going to hurt for a while it seems like…

With his quickness, ability to get to the free throw line, and his obvious shooting abilities, he could easily be a top 10 player SOON. Hmm, is that a stretch??

He looked pretty dominant tonight.

He's

Having a fantastic year. There can be no doubt of that. But it’s rather easy to look dominant when the opposing team plays absolutely no defense.

The Mavs team defense

could have been burned by Manute Bol, the way they were “playing” tonight.

Gerald Laird was an integral part of team chemistry last year?

C’mon Miles. I’ll give you Bradley (somewhat), he definitely added a spark, but all Laird did last year was grumble about his playing time (and suck when he finally got it).

I would wager...

…that Laird was more popular in the clubhouse than Bradley.

He was our second best player for a pretty long while, it's just that our squeaky voiced fucktard of a former coach mishandled the shit out of him.

That's where they lost me

I was never a huge Devin Harris fan but he was really starting to turn the corner last year.

I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.

While we're discussing the beastliness of Harris

am I alone in thinking that Vince Carter is the biggest d-bag in all of the NBA?

Thank God for miles sources.

So does this mean

that Laird was one man, six tools?

by BEW on Dec 20, 2008 1:02 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

yep at least 6 ..

and possibly 7 if he happens to be holding his ice cream spoon.

The majority of the 15 posters over at Bless You Boys are absolutely inFATuated with him.

The point

is that team chemistry will be a huge problem this year.

Without guys like Eric Young, Milton Bradley; This team will revert back to the 2007 form which was 25 guys not having any fun and not gelling together. This creates turmoil and is not a healthy environment and does not promote a winning attitude.

you assume far too much

do you know for a fact that those two players are the heart and soul of the team? did your inside sources tell you this?

I think it’s fine that you posted this expressing your opinions that’s great. But is this really worthy of being one of the top “diaries” ? Not really.
