Re-Design

I’m gonna redesign now. If anyone has any ideas for a design lemme know. The whole paper thing I got going on here is cool, but I see it all over the place now. I guess it was the easiest ‘artsy’ concept people could pull off.  No offense to you if yours is like this too.  I have a couple of ideas, but its still up in the air. I just think this blog is hard to read. For future reference - black type on non-white background is not a good idea.

That’s all for now, I’ll keep you updated.

2008-2009 Maplewood Moosen

Chris Paul (NO - PG)
Hedo Turkoglu (Orl - SG,SF)
Mo Williams (Cle - PG)
Richard Jefferson (Mil - SF)
Carlos Boozer (Uta - PF,C)
Drew Gooden (Chi - PF)
Yao Ming (Hou - C)
David Lee (NY - PF,C)
J.R. Smith (Den - SG)
Jameer Nelson (Orl - PG)
Mickael Pietrus (Orl - SG,SF)
Yi Jianlian (NJ - PF)
Quentin Richardson (NY - SG,SF)

Thoughts:

• First pick - I didn’t want it, but I had the first pick and of course I hadda take CP3.  Usually I like to kill it with bigs, and muscle all the other teams out, so it was difficult this year to build around a PG. So my strategy was to go Big-Big in rounds 2 & 3, and then try to draft players that basically had either PG or C stats.
• Gamebreaker - Taking a huge gamble with Yao this year.  I know he’s missed 20+ games past 3 seasons, but I felt like I needed to roll the dice since my 2nd/3rd picks were so much further from my 1st.
• Question marks - Q-Rich, Yi Jianlian, and Pietrus.  Can they breakout this year?  Can Q-Rich get back to his Phoenix form back under D’Antoni?
• Sleeper category - Steals.  CP3 is crazy in steals and that’s also why I drafted Booz.  He gets alot for a big man.  The PGs I drafted also hold it down, so I think I can win this category outright every week, along with rebounds and blocks.
• Category that will do me in - TOs. Again, when you build a team around a PG, it’s bound to happen.

The Million (Soul) Question

From the New York Times:

Litmus Test? | 10:12 p.m. Could you ever nominate someone to the Supreme Court who disagreed with your view on abortion?

Mr. McCain says he wouldn’t have a litmus test and would consider anyone and their qualifications. But, he says, he doesn’t believe that anyone who supported Roe v. Wade would be qualified.

Mr. Obama also says he would have no litmus test. He goes on to say he supports Roe v. Wade but doesn’t say whether he would support someone who opposes it.

Of course he doesn’t say!  This debate began and ended like all the other ones - McCain attacking Obama, and Obama sidestepping the attacks without giving a clear response.  Who do you think won?

P.S. - There’s a new poll at the right.  I know I’m probably preaching to the choir, but go ahead and vote and we can see where our Biters stand.
