This is my favorite NBA game on the slate. In fact this is a game I could not feel more confident about releasing. The New Jersey Nets are an awesome 0-18 this year, including an impressive 0-7 record at home. Their opponent the Charlotte Bobcats are a more formidable 7-10, however only 1-7 on the road. Law of average dictates that the Nets are well overdue for a win. While I would love to see an 0-82 team, solely to witness history, this will not happen. Those hundred fans that make the trip to the Izod center tonight will be in for quite a treat. The Nets will win this game and notch their first victory of the year. The fact that the Nets are catching 3.5 points is just the icing on the cake. Take out a lien on your house, the Nets will deliver!
As we anxiously await the impactful offseason signings in the years MLB free agent class, once again the New York Mets Stole the headlines. Late yesterday news broke that the Mets signed both Chris Coste and Henry Blanco (no relation to Benny Blanco from the Bronx), to one year contracts. Who cares about John Lackey, Chone Figgins, or a potential trade for Roy Halladay when you were able to ink these two studs? As a friend and Mets season ticket holder said to me earlier "I was going to dump my tickets but now with Blanco, I'd be a fool not to renew them". To quote Harry Dunne from Dumb and Dumber, "just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this........and totally redeem yourself". One can only hope the balance of the Mets off season includes a couple more impact signings.
