On the decline of Latrell Sprewell
It seems that time is running out fast on the trade deadline, and in spite of all his grandstanding about being greater than the offer the ‘Wolves gave him, Latrell Sprewell remains unsigned. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know that this is not the Latrell Sprewell of the past, he’s older and lacks the tenacity of his former self, but I don’t think that this is the only reason he is having a difficult time closing a contract (certainly, there are older and more awkward men in the NBA today who have no trouble finding spots).
My Quiet Plea to Rob Bab*****
Two days ago the Knick’s used the so called “Allen Houston Clause” to waive Jerome “Junkyard Dog” Williams basically making him a free agent once he clears waviers.
As a season ticketholder and fan I simply had to reply to this:
“I like Jerome Williams as a player,”Rob Bab***** Raptors General Manager said last night. “But you have to take a look at our roster and see what our needs are.”

In defense of Paul Pierce
In recent months there has been an unpleasant turn of events in Boston which must be addressed: the Pierce bashing has to stop– he is the best player the C’s got — he is the captain of this team, an all-star, and one of the best players to ever suit up in Celtic green.
