week 3

Derryberr’s NBA Corner
Starberry goes missing; I love rooting for the Knicks
Fantasy update, I gave Zach a little hope before smacking Mike Miller and his squad around for a win. Now those pesky Tom Chambers take on the man on top.
Just the rankings this week, guys. The division will be broken down by my years in college, all 5 and half of them.

My summer class and Spanish class I had to test out of to bring my college total years to five and half division: This one is last because after the last semester I knew where I was going to the workforce just like these guys know their going to lottery.
30) Seattle Super Sonics: (0-7) Last week 28 Durant and Company can get one
29) Minnesota Timber Wolves :( 0-5) Last week 30 joining them on the winless campaign of 2008, your Timber Wolves
28) Memphis Grizzlies: (1-4) Last week 25 Gasol’s points down to 16 a game and he’s not rebounding, that’s not good for the Grizzles or Kyle’s fantasy squad.
27) Sacramento Kings: (2-5) Last week 27 Lost their sell out streak, that lack of sound you heard was the cow bells not ringing.
26) Philadelphia Sixers: (2-4) Last Week 26 Why don’t they trade Andre Miller and be really bad instead of kind of not good. No point in winning 25 games and picking 7th

Year number five: Grand View the house had lost it’s luster, Zach was planning a wedding, Josh was doing whatever he could to keep Heidi, I took on a full time job and going to school dropping the fun level to really low, but there where bright spots the Catholic school night party, Kyle dressed up as a Cowboy, Scottie and I dragging the couch to the Basketball games. See these teams will have their moments but it won’t be pretty.
25) New York Knicks: (2-3) Last week 23 anyone else thinking that Marberry getting kicked off this team would be a good thing. You have to admit they suck but they are entertaining. Bright spots David Lee and Balkman
24) Milwaukee Bucks: (2-4) Last Week 24 This whole year is being judge by Yi’s bright moments to see if the kid has a future
23) Portland Trailblazers: (3-3): Last week 29 Beating Dallas is a bright spot.
22) Washington Wizrads: (1-5) Last week 20 Once Gilbert is healthy they’ll have plenty of bright spots.
21) Golden State: (0-5) Last week 14 That playoff upset seems so long ago, maybe they won’t recapture the magic but I bet a couple of nights this team makes you say wow.

Year number one: MIU and 18. Let’s just say this was and up and down year. I played in my first college game, dated a hooters waitress, almost going to the NIAI national tournament and there’s stories galore like one about a construction hat. But there was riding the pine, getting dumped by that waitress, a couple nights of puking and meeting a guy named Dan. So these guys are in for an up and down year.
20) Atlanta Hawks: (2-4) Last week 19 Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and company will bring out the high lights but they need a point guard to make things go and get off potential bus and on the playoff wagon.
19) Indiana Pacers: (3-3) Last week 21 Maybe O’Neil and company won’t be terrible but they won’t be that good either win three lose three.
18) Chicago Bulls:(1-5) Last week 15 Jump shooting teams always run hot and cold.
17) Miami Heat: (1-5) Last week 16 they’ll be up with Wade way up
16) Charlotte Bobcats: (3-3) Last week 17 the injury bug might knock this team leap forward into the playoff. They look bad with out Felton, what a surprise a team loses it’s point guard and starts playing bad, if only D-Schaff understood guard play.

Year Number two: The Closing of the crest nest. Why was the second year better: one I earned playing time for the squad, went on spring break, got a Reebok voucher, and Braden and I meet setting a number of things in motion the downfall is the it was bitter sweet because it closed.

15) LA Clippers: (4-2) Last week 23 It’s bitter sweet because I don’t think they can keep this up without Brand but they are playing their butts off right now
14) LA Lakers: (3-2) Last week 11 It’s bitter sweet because no matter what happens it’s going to end bad
13) New Jersey Nets: (4-3) Last week 13 It’s bitter sweet because I hate rooting for Vince Carter but I love watching Jason Kidd play.
12) Orlando Magic: (5-2) Last week 12 This team might not be bitter sweet if they don’t collapse like they did last year.
11) Toronto Raptors: (4-3) Last week 10 It’s bitter sweet because they might just as good as last year but they won’t be able to repeat last’s year success.

Year number 3: GVC, meeting Zach and Casey, the ball pit 118, the kickball team, drunken uno, hooking up with girls that wouldn’t even acknowledge that our little group was around sometimes. Dorm golf, eating Wall’s roommate’s food, King of the hill, the desert storm conflict, Clint on the computer, and prater’s dance just to name a few of the things that made that year special. I can’t even really find one knock one that year except I almost flunked out of school. It was a special year and these teams have a chance to be special
10) Cleveland Cavs: (4-4) Last week 8 they might be a .500 team all year or get the 2 or 3rd seed in the east. Lebron is just too good and a 3 and 3 west coast trip is a good thing.
9) Denver Nuggets: (5-3) Last week 6 Up and down, up and down. Story of this Team but with Melo and Iverson theirs a chance
8) New Orleans Hornets: (6-2) Last week 18 Look what happens when you get healthy and have point guard. This team could be the one who flunks out because last year they started hot as well but then faded. 21 assists by Chris Paul
7) Utah Jazz: (6-2) Last week 9 another point guard another good team. I see a trend starting. Did you see Deron heads up play against the Cavs? Lebron nails a three to tie the game and they start celebrating and go the lengths for the win. Watched the whole game and it’s was a good one
6) Dallas Mavericks: (4-2) Last week 4 Losing to the Hawks and Trailblazers always leaves people scratching their heads.

The forth year: The perfect storm of a house meeting new friends such as Marcus, Scottie and Rott. we had the band, who can forget Liston, the ball pit was still in play. Kyle actually had a girlfriend for like a month. I was in my prime as bachelor. Zach and Jaime were over all the time. Wall was well Wall at this best. I can’t say enough about this year. Plus the best basketball taunt of al time “Shoot it” Oh yeah I almost forget Whiffle Ball. See there are no drawbacks to this year, I didn’t almost flunk out, and no one was going off and starting their next stage of life. All these teams have a chance to be remember

5) Detroit Pistons: (5-1) Last week 7 They could be remembered as the team who won two NBA Championships with out a hall fammer or franchise guy on their team.
4) Phoenix Suns: (5-2) Last week 3 can be remembered as the run and gun team that won a championship. No one thinks it can be this way. But just like every thought the 49ers wouldn’t win playing smash mouth football. This team has a chance to change all that.
3) Houston Rockets: (6-1) Last week 5 Can be remember as the team that started Yao being a corner stone for a championship because he’s young enough to win a couple
2) San Antonio Spurs: (6-1) Last week 1 Can be remember as one of the greatest teams ever with a repeat giving them a real dynasty.
1) Boston Celtics: (5-0) Last week 2 Can be the team that brings the Celtics number 17. This team reminds so much of our year. Let’s say Braden is Piece, let’s make Kyle Rondo, Zach is Perkins, Wall is Scalberine, and I’m Doc Rivers. We lost a couple of promising young guns with Clint and Prater. We threw out Silas mad got Marcus KG and Scottie Ray Allen and the group took off.
