Player of the D.A.Y.
A D.A.Y. late
I missed a day of work, and more punny, a D.A.Y. of work. So, the Player of the D.A.Y. yesterday was Carlos Boozer with his 22 and 21 against Golden State. Yao had a shot with 32 and 14, but that was against Indy. Interesting how the two contestants for Player of the D.A.Y. were facing the two teams that made a trade this season that has one of them possibly heading to the playoffs and the other heading towards the lottery. Because of that trade, Boozer was more eligible for the award, and he won it.

Indiana is such a disaster. They need to fire Carlisle and trade Jermaine and just start over. Somehow this is all Reggie Miller’s fault. Or Larry Brown’s.

FIRE CARLISLE?!?WTF- have you not seen what he’s had to work with? He’s had to deal with my FORMER favorite player from queens, nightmare rosters, and his team’s more recent cincinnati-bengals-like offcourt news. It almost feels like they haven’t gooten past reggie’s retirement. they need to get rid of dunleavy, murphy, mcleod, and get some value for tinsley before other teams realize he’s fallen off harder than Bargnani’s appendix.

The D.A.Y. stands for day after yesterday, which is the name of the book that Paul Giamatti’s character is writing in Sideways. The games are yesterday, today is the day after yesterday. It’s also a way to keep this feeling like TV episodes. The day that this happened, the day that happened.

Orlando should get Jermaine (somehow). Then they could have the frontcourt with the smallest ears ever! Besides, Indy’s Reggie’s house, and we all know what his ears look like.

I’m back, I’ve been on vacation in Tahoe! I missed all the Kobe hatin’ and debatin’. I went back to keep track of the P.O.D.s, hopefully I didn’t miss any, but it says here this is Boozer’s second P.O.D., and Kobe is now in first place for P.O.Y. with 6 P.O.D.s!

Hey Russ,
While we’re at it, let’s blame Isaiah for this one, too.

subway: I love making up trades just like the next guy, but the salary cap keeps getting in the way. No way Indy is trading JO for anyone on Orlando’s roster not named Dwight Howard. Orlando would never do that deal either. And if either team wanted to, the salaries are way off. Grant Hill is the only player on the Magic roster who makes close to what JO makes, and Indy wouldn’t pull that trade unless they wanted to just explode the whole team and start from scratch. I think Hill’s a free agent at the end of the season, so that trade can’t work either. That’s the problem with all the ridiculous contracts some players got a few years ago. They got paid like all time greats, but they’re more like second fiddle guys, which makes them impossible to deal.

Maybe Isiah can hoodwink Bird/Walsh into trading Steve Francis straight up for JO. That’s an alternate reality trade from a universe where Isiah is a good GM and Bird/Walsh are the idiots of the league.
