Ohio State Basketball

After a close game today, March 11, 2011, the Buckeyes survived a scare about being eliminated from the Big Ten tournament. After a close game, I have to throw out who I think the Buckeye's true MVP is, John Diebler! You may think I'm crazy but when he scores points, they win big! If he struggles to score, they either lose or it's a close game, in which Buckeye fans this year are not used to. As a Gators and Buckeyes fan, I have to say this years Buckeyes Men's basketball team is possibly one of the best, ever.  I mean, not since the FAB FIVE have there been so much talent, but even with the FAB FIVE were just them and the Buckeyes have even more talent than that!

The last thing I want to talk about in this post is Thad Matta. This guy is simply amazing! Not only does he recruit without cheating the system but he wins with talent he shouldn't be able to win with, to be completely honest! Thad Matta is a proven coach and would be considered the best coach in the Big Ten if it weren't for Tom Izzo from Michigan State. The only reason I would say Izzo is better is because he has won Titles, something that has alluded Matta to date! But with this years team, Matta might move into first!

Deron Williams, the Jazz and the NBA

First and foremost, I think the trade of Deron Williams was moronic. First of all, the trade didn't help either team, nor did it make much sense, since Deron didn't want traded in the first place. He loved being on Utah. It's crazy how I am or was such a Jazz fan until this trade. I was not just a fan of Deron Williams, I was a fan of the Jazz because they've always been big on winning games.  Now they trade away their best player for a slug of average players.  It doesn't make sense.  Whose next Kiralenko? I'm still a Jazz fan, but Utah Jazz management is making it very hard for me to like them.

The Utah Jazz, first of all, what are you thinking? Your logic makes no sense to me. As I stated above, trading away Deron Williams has to be the dumbest idea ever! Almost as bad as Reinsdork, I mean Reinsdorf breaking up the Bulls, (Jordan, Pippen and Rodman).  So I implore Utah, if you have any sense of smarts, you will stop trading away or letting guys go that are loved by the fans, ie Deron Williams, Jerry Sloan resigning and other key veterans leaving like Carlos Boozer.

The NBA, this is one where I'm actually going to praise them.  The NBA has worked hard to become better, and have better ratings.  The problem is organizations like Utah trade away their key players and kill what the NBA is trying to accomplish. The one complaint I do have with the NBA is that they allow players to go pro after just one year in college. I personally think it should be like the NFL and be three years minimum! Just how I see things. Not that these all-star players shouldn't be allowed to make money or get hurt in college but they should be encouraged to get an education!
