The Docket v1

"Either u slingin crack rocks or u got a wicked jumpshot"

Those were the powerful words rapped by Biggie Smalls. Poetic and enlightening in one small phrase. To most who read this will be very shocked and disturbed by this mantra, but one must ask why is kid (1994) have this mentality, surely he cant be the only one who thinks like that. Why in the land of milk and honey........does a kid only have 2 options of prosperity. Either way it up for debate.......but when I was thinkin about bloggin about basketball and was lookin for a title, that the first thing that came to mind.....the hustle, the determination, the use of the word wicked rather then good or great......almost like wicked has a hint of sinister sprinkled in it.....I like that, for us basketball season is like our passion, "it wat we do for a living". Your going to get a raw, introspective view on the hoops atmosphere's, no fakin nuthin be the raw ish. Please enjoy and spread mad love.

Midnight Madness is upon us. Just a gr8 tyme to be sports fiend, u got Nfl & NCAA football rebounding into shape, potential super bowl match-ups, major upsets and all that poppin. But now its our season, we havin awoken from the ashes and will reclaim our glory.........but there sumthing missin.........there no buzz for the l' this year. Now u purist are going be like yes there is and I say cat's like you will watch Central Texas St at El-Paso vs. Pepperdine at 12 midnight on a wednesday on espn 8. Get the point, u don’t care u just simply love the sport, but for the other 99% where the buzz. I mean u have some all-tyme gr8 players out there but no buzz, Not from the King, Not from Bean, Tmac, hell even the champs are chumps............ I challenge you to give me 2 good reason the L' is buzz-less and wat can we do to get it back

Enuff of wat the L is lackin, College basketball is always in good hand even if the product is not as good as back in the day, the ability to have kids givin it there all everyday game in and game out will always give it a good game. 2nite the first shot is fired on who goin to be cuttin the nets down in the big city (yawwwnniing) of San Antonio, in fact it only a 177 days left. So with the countdown officially on, let see who the major players are goin to be this season:

peep out the boi Luke Winn Post.

I'm kind of scared and pleased having UNC number one, first very rarely does a team go wire to wire it's just too hard, secondly I cant take another year of wat happened last year in the regional finals-heartbreaking-how in the hell do u get so cold from the field. He got G-town ranked 6th, wow I think there were going to be top 3, they got a lot of talent coming back and big homey Hibbert is pure center-not that jump-shooting scared to bang cat that so all to common in the b-ball atmosphere. I'm going to be going to about 10 G'town games this year so if any of y'all in the DMV(DC,MD,VA), we can meet up and talk hoops. The most intriguing team I’M looking forward to seeing is the USC Trojans, that right the I gotta see the boi OJ Mayo get bizzy. He the uber star ballhawk, that college basketball has been missin. im hoppin he can live some up to some of the hype, but already he has some issues he has to get by like Talib, from the LA Times "He also promised that he would not be too aggressive in throwing elbows -- or anything else -- in the general area of point guard Darren Collison. USC freshman and fellow high school superstar O.J. Mayo reportedly broke the jaw of Trojans point guard Daniel Hackett with a misplaced elbow during a pickup game last month. "An elbow, yeah, right," Love said. "Dan's a good friend of mine too. I'm never going to lay a hand or lay a fist or elbow on a teammate like that." Damn that boi Mayo already spreading it on cats, rival cats at that.....

An interesting thing I saw on the net last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT00hIXjLs. That the boi Mike Conley, my early preseason pick for ROY. He’s uber quick and can obviously handle the rock but like wit any pg u gotta ask about maturity and can he hit the jumper. I was wondering how he was doing down in Memphis, I found this article: http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/oct/10/precocious-conley-gets-hang-of-things/ , I plan on link’in up wit the writer and keep a Mike Conley weekly update.

In the “u can’t blame davey stern” office: this might be old but very crazy, this video is kind of old maybe 4 or 5 yrs old…… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r4NSjE7jrY( u might have to copy and paste to browser, the link is not highlighting, but trust u wont be disappointed ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Closs. This section will be updated frequently as the info comes from your local police blotter.

That it for right now, Gotta watch the battle of the century Dallas v. NE
