Nash Rules

Dallas kept stoudamire wrapped up last night and it seemed very effective in shutting him down. They decided they'd rather nash shoot then get everyone going. Even though they lost Nash had a helluva performance pouring in 46 pts in 41 minutes played. The heat won their last two games in a row. Shaq provided no points from his floor seats..................

Traffic, construction zones, and why i am not to be trusted with directions.............

So, after lounging around Regina for oh, let's say a few weeks/ a full month I finally gotten around to getting one of those "jobs" people keep talking about. I deemed this necessary after my unfortunate discovery that money in fact does not grow on trees. So, using my inherent job finding skills i quickly found employment at an unnamed call center.(when i say inherent job finding skills, i mean my room mates mother hooked me up with the job) So, I go to leave this morning for "orientation" first day of work so you do not want to show up late........apparently. So I set out, directions in hand and begin what should have been a simple ten minute drive to the call center. So i was following the directions(or so i thought) and looking for a hospital i was supposed to turn by. After five minutes i noticed two somewhat alarming things 1. Hospital signs were replaced by signs saying "holeinthewall" 34 km 2. City buildings where replaced with the cursed vast horizon of Sask. yep. that's right. sure did drive almost out of the city. 3.(a bonus) I also noticed my choice of venue was Victoria, and in hindsight this street was in no way shape or form found in my quaint set of directions. So needless to say I did manage to find my destination at ten fourty five, fifteen minutes late. Which was awesome. Then I proceeded to learn that you could not actually enter in the endearing process of "orientation" without an social insurance card. I know the number, one would suspect that would suffice, but oh no. They need the real mccoy. Which is currently in a storage room in the metropolis of Caronport. I could find a way out there, but it's less of a hassle to order a new one. I thought this morning was all for naught, I sat outside soaking in both the beautiful sunshine and the slightly less beautiful but more condoling scent of a captain black cigar. But apparently as it again turns out, when i get my new card, i still have a job, just in a different section, for slightly more money and better workload. So the moral of the story kids is : Money still doesn't grow on trees, and I have to get a damn job.

why shaq should only ever be an mvp in hot dog eating contest

Ok, so if anyone follows sports they probably already know that steve nash won the NBA MVP in the closest voting in quite some time apparently. Now, the only person who made their opinion public in an article was some lame ass journalist for a paper in you guessed Miami.........
Now the columnist for the Miami herald Dan Lebetard whose last name i suspect is french for "the bastard" said Nash won because he was white and he was a skinny one dimensional basketball player and he stole it from Shaq. right. Becau8se we all know Shaq is definitely a five tool threat, well atleast at the buffet line he is. Remember all the games this season were shaq would use the pick and roll then step behind the arc and drain the three? No? Ok, remember how shaq would always drain those 17 foot j's? No? Fine, how about all those games where shaq would make sweet bounce passes to his powerforward in the paint.......No? Oh wait that's because Nash does all those things. Nash averaged 11.5(1st in nba highest since 95) assists per game and 16 points, Last year the suns were 29-53 this year they went 62-20, the third biggest turn around in history, (they were 2-5 when nash wasn't healthy) Big "Weasel" O'neal went 22.6 pts and 10.6(8th in NBa) rebs per game, which isn't terrible but NOT mvp stats that's for sure. Last year Miami finished with a 42-40 2nd in the atlantic division, the suns finished third last. Now this year they were the best team in the league. So betard, your right shaq is not a one dimensional player who scores all of his points in the paint and he is 70 percent free throw shooter..........yeah........

also to consider why i think Shaq is over rated....

1. His self proclaimed nickname "diesel" ....ironically enough wasn't diesel a white dude in the wwf, but that's ok he didn't beat shaq for mvp, probably just tied him for 2nd.
2.Nash can run the court, the last time shaq ran the ball he had to be immeaditely supplied with an oxygen mask, and some change to tip the cab driver.
3. dude is 7 feet tall and three hundred pounds and in decent shape, and still only put up 22/10.6 i'm sorry but at that size you should be more than the self proclaimed most dominant force in the Nba....
4. When Shaq was injured the heat went 6-3..........
5. Nash had had career highs in fg percentage, 3pt percentage and assists
6. Shaq had near career lows in mins played,ppg and his worst season in ft percentage....
ect ect ect

The best test will be if there is a heat suns final
