I stopped by Wizards/Wolves game last night because I didn't have anything to do and they were giving out tickets in exchange for canned food. Something about Y2K, I guess. Seemed pretty legit, but maybe they were planning on deploying some kind of horrible weaponry and needed a stocked bomb ...

Joe Calzaghe vs. Roy Jones, Jr. will be senior citizen murder
Roy Jones, Jr. was Roy Jones, Jr. Now he's more like Roy Jones IV's grandfather. He was pretty much untouchable in his prime, with his near-immortal combination of power and speed, winning even a heavyweight title. Then he endured devastating knockouts by the hands of Antonio Tarver and Roy Jones, Jr. and was never the same - not even close.
To expect a washed up Jones...

Stick With What Works Riley
I'm starting to get sick of the flip-flopping Pat Riley is doing with in his lineup, when clearly the best option to start at guard right now is the hot shooting Chris Quinn. There has been no consistency this season when it comes to ball control and scoring. It blows my mind (granted I'm not the hall of fame coach) that once we get in a nice groove with a rotation, Riley insists...

I believe we can do better.
Kevin Garnett led the assault with 26 points and 16 rebounds, as the Minnesota Timberwolves bested the New Jersey Nets. Garnett got some help from the bench in the form of rookie Rashad McCants who scored 21 points. It would be nice to see Minnesota play like that every night and I still believe they...
