  1. Figured this would be a neat idea. You can put five starters and three bench players. You must use a player from each team. You can use two players max from a team.

    Long time fans of Scott Hall, aka "Razor Ramon" have hoped and prayed for his well being for over a decade.  Scott was among the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, and his tragic fall from grace has been widely publicized in the media.
     
    Many wrestling fans have feared he would be the industry's next tragic loss.  But now there's a glimmer of hope.
     
    Scott's longtime friend Diamond Dallas Page, together with the support of Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Kevin Nash, and Sean Waltman, have come together to help Scott get healthy and find a purpose in life with his inspiring story of redemption.

    Unfortunately, we didn't know just how broken Scott's body was.  At the young age of 54, Scott has had a pacemaker, and difibrillator implanted for his heart, and he can barely walk due to extreme arthritis in his hip.  Unless he gets a hip replacement, he will be unable to do the necessary exercise in order to get his health back.  Without medical insurance, Scott's inability to pay for the procedures he needs are a major hurdle to his physical recovery.

    I don't know if anyone else has followed this, but Diamond Dallas Page has a yoga program (DDP Yoga), and he's been rehabilitating Jake "The Snake" Roberts, and has now been in contact with Scott Hall.

     

    Scott Hall was literally on the verge of death, and they are trying to raise money for him to have surgery. I'm in shock at what DDP has done. Watch the video on this link, and you'll see what terrible shape Scott Hall, a once dominant wrestler, is in.

  3. Five games in, he's averaging 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and is shooting 53.45% from the field, playing only 25.6 minutes a game. I know it's a small sample size, but he is playing some really good basketball. We are 3-2 since the trade with Memphis, which is impressive.

     

    Can he sustain this and become a big part of the Cavs?

  4. Atlanta - it has let Josh Smith think he can throw up crappy long-range 2's for his whole career, and it's gotten them nowhere. This team has talent, and Danny Ferry managed to keep them in the hunt while trading Joe Johnson. Obviously, with Lou Williams out I don't think they'll get very far this year.

     

    But as productive as Smith is, the Hawks haven't gotten very far with him, just like with Joe Johnson. They need to retool around Horford and Teague. Korver, Stevenson, Harris, Ivan Johnson, and Pachulia are good role players, so add whatever they get for Josh Smith, and they have a much brighter future. 

     

    The best thing Atlanta could do is trade Josh Smith for a legit center and picks to finally let Al Horford play power forward so we can see his true potential.

  5. It's about time Joe Flacco gets some respect. I hate the Ravens, but give me a guy who can win this much in the playoffs. As long as he gives your team a chance, why not go with him?

     

    I really hope the 49ers win. It would make me stick to my stomach, as a Browns fan, to see the Ravens win, especially given the circumstances with Modell's death and Lewis' retirement.

  6. You can't trade him. He's still arguably their best player. As long as he comes back with enough time left to incorporate him into the offense, he should play a pivotal role this season. 

     

    It's similar to the trade speculation around Zach Randolph last season. Memphis stuck with him, and they ended up doing pretty good.

     

    The East is so close in terms of the race to the one seed, and Indiana needs to go for it all now.

  7. It looks like Greg Oden is determined to play again. Last night during the Buckeyes-Badgers game, he was in attendance and said he is aiming to come back for the 2013-2014 season. There have been rumors that the Cavs and Heat are leading the way, but he hasn't commented. So where do you think would work best for Oden?

     

    I think Cleveland and Miami are definitely good fits, but I wonder how much Miami will be able to pay, because I'm sure other teams will offer more. Cleveland, meanwhile, will have more money to offer and potentially more playing time depending on the futures of Speights and Varejao. 

     

    Other teams I see working would be: 

     

    Oklahoma City Thunder: He could potentially be a great backup big man to Ibaka and Perkins. Collison plays hard, but the Thunder need another big off the bench, and he would be a big upgrade over Thabeet.

     

    Chicago Bulls: He would add to an already solid frontline of Boozer and Noah, and might replace the size they lost in Asik.

     

    Minnesota Timberwolves: They haven't had a legit center in awhile, and it could start a new beginning for Kevin Love.

     

    It all depends on what he values: money, playing time, or winning. There's even that "home" factor, which does give Cleveland a bit of an advantage. I think it'd be awesome to have a Buckeye on the Cavs, with redemption on his mind. The Cavs are ready to make a big move in the NBA. They've been quiet for three years. Heck, if Oden somehow feels LeBron may be coming back to Cleveland, can you imagine a trio of them three? Wouldn't root for them, but it'd be scary.
