On today’s show, Tas and I argue over Kobe or Wade for All-NBA First Team, Westbrook or Joe Alexander for the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and “Cars” or “Ratatouille” for … well, for no reason at all really. All that and little more on the Conley-for-Sessions trade rumor.Note: If you’re ...

I'm not one for these little promos that websites do but I'll give credit where its due. Joe Alexander may only be a half way decent player but as a actor with no lines, he takes the cake. H/t: Spartantailgate

Vote For Joe

There are a lot of "Internet Campaigns" out there these days, especially in the NBA. A lot of them are pretty boring, and re-treads of other people's ideas, but one I'm in full support of is "See Joe Dunk". The Bucks' Joe Alexander is trying to get into the dunk contest, and has been posting various vids on YouTube trying to gain support. Here's a taste with one called "Cookies".... Good stuff, but in all honesty, all Joe needs to do is show the...

West Virginia?s Joe Alexander went from virtual unknown to a lottery pick last year based on his late season heroics and an amazing performance in March Madness.? He?s getting some PT for the Bucks this year, but not enough to warrant inclusion on your NBA fantasy basketball team.

This Year in Hilariously Awkward NBA Photo Shoots: Rookie Edition

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:35:02 -0500

Every summer, the NBA gathers its rookies together for a publicity photo shoot, and every summer, I become more and more convinced the photographers try to make the pictures fun creating awkward poses. This year, the rookies -- especially Joe Alexander -- are hilarious as ever.

Upset Specials...

My two upsets of this weekend will be (10) Davidson over (3) Wisconsin, and (3) Louisville over (2) Tennessee. With the Sweet 16 so close, I couldn't help but to rewind the wonderful individual efforts of guys like Davidson's Stephon Curry, Stanford's Lopez brothers (Robin and Brook), West Virginia's Joe Alexander, and the point guards from Villanova (Scottie Reynolds) and Xavier (Drew Lavender). I've have the opportunity to watch Stephon Curry on numerous occasions and I can say he might be one of the best, if not the best, pure shooter in the college game today. With the help of the nation's assist leader at point (Jason Richards), I see this backcourt pushing this Davidson team to the Elite 8 to face a strong Kansas team. But that's where the train stops. Next, Louisville and Tennessee. Although Tennessee has shown great poise in tight games and in tough situation this is where they have met their match. Louisville, which is led by their big man David Padgett and coach Rick Pitino, will be entirely too strong inside and out for Bruce Pearl and the Volunteers. The problem I see Tennessee having is on the offensive and defensive boards. Tennessee's frontcourt is led by their three athletic sophomores Tyler Smith, J.P. Prince, Wayne Chism, but with fundamental play from Louisville's big-men, I expect the Cardinals to have a strong presence down low.
