Markus Carr: Ballin and Business in Europe

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:28:00 -0500

by Slav Kandyba NBA vets Earl Watson and Matt Barnes probably would rather forget the night of Nov. 22, 2000, when their 15th-ranked UCLA team hosted unranked Cal State Northridge Matadors. The Matadors had beaten Fresno State and Oregon in the previous season, but never in their history have they taken down a ranked team. UCLA, in turn, hadn’t lost a home game to a nonconference Southern California school in 15 years. All that changed that night as the Matadors upset the Bruins, 78-74...

Pacers Ink Earl Watson

Larry Bird says that Watson was Indy’s big fish, and they managed to reel him in: “Point guard Earl Watson loves to practice and hates to lose. Those similarities should make Watson and Jim O’Brien the perfect pair. Watson signed a one-year deal for almost $3 million with the Pacers on Tuesday. ‘I feel he’s the best (free agent point guard) out there,’ Pacers president Larry Bird said. ‘(Allen) Iverson’s out there, but for what we need, he’...

What up yb, I definitely want to thank everyone for the support. Yesterday me and my college teammate Earl Watson hung out. It's always nice to reminisce about college ball and all the fun we had. I know y'all remember the off the backboard lob he threw me, one of the craziest plays ever! HUH!! It's nice to be in LA, 90 degree weather visiting my family and friends. I know everyone has seen the Zohan commercials, even I laugh at myself when I see them. Adam Sandler is hilarious. Anyway, I'm off to get a tan, jk. I'll holla.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Not much out there today, so let's give a tip of the old hat to not-quite-waiver-wire-but-close-enough-for-government-work Earl Watson (4.9). Amazingly, the 4 foot Watson was only 2 boards short of a triple-double as he finished with 21/8/10 in 42 minutes. The Sonics beat the Mavs 99-95 in what could have been their last home game in Seattle.
