Not bothering to graciously wait until the season actually ends this year are we?

So your interest in the NBA, and consequently your interest in the Heat, revolves around your man-crush on a single player?

Fair-weather fan?

Not quite.  Trust me ... I watch more NBA basketball than probably anyone who regularly posts in this thread.  I'm one of the few people that still enjoys the pro game, and I'd pick it over college basketball any day of the week.
I guess saying that I would have no interest in the Playoffs without Wade being a part of it was a bit strong.  I'll be watching every game televised ... not just the Heat games.  That being said, having Wade being part of the Playoffs piques my interest a bit more.  I'm a Wade fan first and foremost.  Seeing that he plays for the Heat, that's the team I cheer for.  If he signed with another team, I would root for them.  I was the same way when Jordan was playing.  I liked him since he played at Carolina, and when he went to the Bulls in '84, I went with him.  When he came back for two seasons, I was more interested in what the Wizards were doing.  I don't have an NBA team in my city, and I can't stand the Knicks.  So ... I follow players that I like.  If that makes me a fair-weather fan, than so be it.

Back to the Joey Crawford issue ... at least the NBA did something about it:

Crawford suspended for rest of season, playoffs at least

Fair enough!
 

Ichiro is very good for BA, R, and R.  Or so he usually is.  Last year he was real solid as far as fantasy value goes. 

I tried to draft a few guys who could steal bases since I was weak in that last year, and I tried to get guys who could score runs and hit.  Evidently I should have solely gone after .200 hitting sluggers.   

Either way, however bad my draft was, this goes beyond that.  Guys who are usually solid are doing pretty much crap here in April.  Zambrano has sucked, so has Webb.  half my players have barely played.  Giambi is hitting like a girl... so is Delgado and arguably Wright too (hit streak be damned).

If they don't get hot soon, I'm looking at a long long season at the bottom of the barrel. 

Ichiro had been cold, so I started Matthews.  Matthews' game was PPD so I tried to start Ichiro.  But the game slot was already locked.

Then Ichiro goes 4/5 with 4 Runs, a HR, 2 RB, and a SB.

I know my team sucks, but I can't catch a break...

EDIT:  Just saw that practically everyone on my team had their game postponed today.

Ortiz, Paul Lo Duca, David Wright, Matthews Jr., Tejada, Brian Roberts, and Tom Gordon all were supposed to play today and didn't.

Sheesh.

I never get worked up over a Naboo wave - but if they focused on Pod Racers, Mos Espa denizens, Senators, and maybe threw in one of the Gungans who was sitting around with Nass, and a new outfit for Amidala, I'd be pretty happy.

Put me down for 30 to 50 of those.

Crap.

I reset my router after I posted and it seems to have fixed it.  It's weird though, because it was only certain sites.  Hotmail, and Yahoo mainly.

The only real problem it caused was missing out on plugging Davis into PG, sitting Terry, and finding a bench player to use the UTL game for.

Oh well.



Thanks though.

I hope they open it up at some point, this just inspired me to add to my small collection of his art work.  (I got a signed print of his Good Bye Blue Monday bomb) for Christmas this year...)
