NBA Round Up: Bleeding & Broken Hearts, Broken & Bleeding Kness

Washington Wizard and liberal bleeding heart Etan Thomas will go under the knife to repair what is essentially a bleeding heart. Presumably, if the surgery goes well, Thomas will not only play in the NBA again, but he'll also accuse a 12-year old car crash survivor of being a liar and a cheat.

Hey, speaking of bleeding hearts, Chris Dodd is offering a chance to sit with him at the ALCS in Boston. Cough up $20.04, and you could be watching baseball with a Connecticut Senator who can't possibly win the Presidency. Still, sitting with a Senator, watching a Great ALCS--$20 seems fair.

Just seeing clips on ESPNews of Kevin Garnett, whilst wearing Celtic Green, blocking 3 different Minnesota Timberwolves has made me realize that it has really happened. Kevin Garnett is no longer a Wolf. And not only that, he's a Celtic. He assisted something called Kendrick Perkins twice!

It reminds me of Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him", with just a pronoun or two changed:

Is he really going out with them?
Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here.

For reasons that surpass logic in anything meaningful way, aside from, "We need Good Press, STAT." The Knicks have signed Allan Houston. Two years removed from knee trouble that forced his retirement, the Knicks have said that Houston can still shoot. No shit. Can he run, dribble, or play 82 games? No word on that.

Allan Houston, as destiny demands, is living out his role as the Poor Man's Bernard King, right down to the starring/sad role on a franchise that doesn't know what else to do.

I've had some teary moments this week when I've not been able to change the channel at all (stupid gym) or fast enough (stupid reflexes) to avoid seeing KG in Celtic green.

I wanted to punch the douche at the Spoon show last night who was wearing an "I *shamrock* KG" t-shirt.

The Knicks are really half-assing their reaction to the current public-relations meltdown.

It's a sign of insouciance that they have yet to contact Anthony Mason.

Welcome back Allen. Remember, pronounce it "How-ston" or they'll know you're a tourist.
