Zach (Los Angeles): Who do you see as the top 4 seeds out West, and who will get the No. 1 seed?
John Hollinger: Lakers will get the top seed because their remaining schedule is so soft. Jazz will get No. 4 because they’ll be NW division champs, and could move up to No. 3 depending on how things go over the final two weeks. OK, now for the hard part. I’ll take Houston to win the Southwest and the No. 2 seed, and San Antonio to finish behind them and take the No. 3. That would leave New Orleans and Phoenix as Nos. 5 and 6, Golden State at 7, and Denver/Dallas at 8. Of course, ask me tomorrow and you might get something completely different.
I’ve been trying for about the last 10 minutes to come up with a way to get my cat, a piece of his poop, and today’s Daily Dime all in one photo. But my cat hates people being near him, not to mention having his picture taken, and I don’t really want his poop that close to my laptop because the idea of that freaks me out, plus I would have to actually, physically pick the poop out of the litterbox, and then I’d have to use my digital camera and not the one in my MacBook because otherwise I couldn’t get the screen in… yeah, it’s just not coming.
Even my cat poops on you, ESPN. You’ll just have to picture it yourself.
(There are things in this analysis I don’t necessarily take issue with, but like hell the Rockets and Jazz are ending up above the Suns and Hornets. It’s just hard to see, after this week. Rockets taking the division over both San Antonio and New Orleans? Doubtful at best.)
the idea of letting any animal other than a human shit in your house is nasty. stop reading espn and believing national recognition is required for our team…it fuels our underdog quality. if you need a candidate for your shit list, find gary roberts the tulane sports law professor/asshole who predicted the city wouldnt be able to support 2 pro sports franchises. ask him to predict the 08-09 season ticket sales.
He’s actually one of the reasons we BOUGHT season tickets, considering we both went to Tulane Law School and know what he said. Go figure.
Oh, and I guess you don’t have cats… LOL.
i dont mind cats, theyre cleaner than dogs and less maintenence. i do mind a litterbox however…we had one inside for a lil bit then we moved it outside and eventually they got the idea.
believe it or not i tried to find roberts’ email so i could rub it in his face. i couldnt find it so instead i sent a message to jim henderson at wwltv and asked him to forward it to gary. jim actually replied(well i think it was him but it coulda be an alaskan transvestite w/ elephantitis balls for all i know) to me and well…here ill show ya:
I WONDERED WHEN SOMEONE W0ULD MAKE THAT CONNECTION. WHILE I RESPECTED GARY,HE WAS ALWAYS AN EVER-READY SOURCE OF DOOM AND GLOOM WHO PROVIDED AN EASY SOUND-BITE OF PESSIMISM. I LOVE THE WAY THAT THE HORNETS ARE CATCHING ON AR0UND THE CITY. I DON’T THINK GARY’S AROUND HERE ANY LONGER BUT YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SAY ” I TOLD YOU SO.” JIM
To: Henderson, JamesSubject: hey jim can you help me out?
Jim Since I find you the most credible and genuine New Orleans sports journalist, can you please do me(and this city) a solid and forward thismessage to Gary Roberts, the Tulane sports law professor who predicted NO couldn’t support two pro sports franchises.
Where y’at Gary? How about a city with less than half a million people proving you wrong? Did your financial projections omit the heart factor?Do the right thing esquire…eat crow and write about the fortitude/resiliency this city has exemplified. An anomaly is always adored.
P.S. Would you care to estimate the season ticket sales for the Hornets08-09 season?
Yours truly,
NOLA
