Watching some football, doing some work, wondering what the Washington Wizards are going to do against the New Jersey Nets tonight. The keys for the Wizards: they really need to pound it inside when Haywood is in the game. When Blatche is playing, do a little more running. Get him working the high post and using his quickness and/or passing skills against the mediocre Nets bigs. Bullets Forever with the run-down….the Wizards have actually lost 6 in a row against the Nets. Last time the Wiz beat them was in December of ’05, blew New Jersey out by 20 in DC.

So yea, what exactly is going on with Jason Kidd? I just wonder what has been in that guy’s mind lately. Let’s run through a quick timeline:

1997-2007 - Marriage, drinkin’, gamblin’, the NBA, hoes, rockin’ out in general.

What do we know about these two? Well, judging by the game between the Grizzlies and the Hornets last night, Chris Paul is a superstar and Pau Gasol is a chump. Here’s why:

SideBar: My Campaign for Chris Paul, Western Conference All-Star Starter — I don’t care who you put with him, Kobe…Steve Nash….Baron Davis…..Deron Williams, just put them with Chris Paul.

CP3 – New Orleans – 2008 – It’s only right. (And you may recall my previous thoughts about Chris Paul, Steve Nash and Jason Kidd)

Oh yea, back to the WHY….

Caught the end of the New Orleans Hornets-Memphis Grizzlies game last night. Here’s the deal: Game in OT….tied @ 116 and the ball is in Chris Paul’s hands. Mind you , he has a career high in points at this junction (he finished with 43). The Hornets isolate for him, Tyson Chandler comes up to set a high screen and Chris Paul takes it to the hoop for the deuce layin with a couple ticks left. Hornets up 118-116.
