Player of the D.A.Y.
No NBA. What to do?
The NBA did not exist last night. I suppose the obvious move is to give the Player of the D.A.Y. to the M.O.P. of the tourney (insert MOP the hardcore rap duo from Brooklyn that were signed to G-Unit and never heard from again). So the winner is… wait a second, I don’t think I know. Was it Brewer? Let me look it up…
Ah yes, it was Corey Brewer. Lucky guess, because I watched about 12 minutes total of the Final 4 and Championship Game combined. What a letdown. I’m happy I won the ultimate prize (money), but this tourney was a big tease. The Basketball Gods owe us a Phoenix-Dallas seven game series for that.
Since the tourney was so disappointing, and we still did our best to give you NCAA coverage here, I am pulling the plug. There is NO Player of the D.A.Y. today. Not Brewer, not Billy Donovan, not Greg Oden in dignified defeat, nobody.
Alright NBA. Don’t ever do this to us ever again. And in the interest of bringing the entertainment value back up, in case you missed what Tyrus Thomas did to Josh Smith, here is some video.

Is there any particular reason why college backcourts have no idea how to feed the post? I thought the NBA was making players go to college to learn the fundamentals of the game. Oden had his man sealed so many times, only to watch a guard jack up a wild 3 which led to a long rebound and a Gator fast break. Oden could be not getting the ball in the pros right now.

Could be because the college three point line is about 8 feet from the basket. You can basically guard someone in the post and at the three point line at the same time, so there’s less room to make the pass, unless you start from way behind the line, and that just feels not right.

Phoenix is probably taking the ATL’s pick in the draft? Give it to Brian Colangelo. Or Lang. Poor guy.

Only if the Hawks are in the top 3, depending on how the lottery goes.
If we’re talking M.O.P. and clever acronyms, my favorite song by them is Fake A$$ Gangsta.

Thanks for that link, Sam — I hadn’t seen that footage of Tyrus taking Josh’s manhood from him. That motherf*cker needs a cover. Like, 3 or 4 in a row, even.

He took his manhood on both ends of the floor. And there’s also the classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih4lyMFzSd8

Weggie Evans, its nice of you to randomly add your personal thoughts on Tim Thomas (who plays for the clippers), especially since the discussion was about Tyrus Thomas (who plays for the bulls).
love the fact that when Josh tried the exact thing on Tyrus he was given the Dikembe treatment.
