Guards
Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets (21.8 points, 3 rebounds, 6.4 assists) – Harris is the second-highest scoring guard in the East and number five in assists. Along with Vince Carter, Harris’ play has transformed the Nets from anticipated losers to playoff contenders, and the season-ending injury to Milwaukee’s Michael Redd just enhanced their odds.

We're not even at the All-Star Break, and yet this is a crucial game for the Nets tonight against the Thunder. The Nets sit just 0.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and this evening presents a winnable game for New Jersey.

The starters for the 2009 NBA All-Star game were announced on TNT Thursday night, and once again, the fans demonstrated the decision should not be theirs. Detroit’s Allen Iverson received 1,804,649 votes proving that 1,804,649 NBA fans don’t know what they’re talking about.

We're about 35 games into the NBA season right now -- nearly to the midway point -- and the New Jersey Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are holding on to the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. I doubt that's the way it will end, however, because the list of teams that are on the outside looking in is quite an interesting one: Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, and Indiana Pacers (to name the true contenders).

Not only did the Nets fall to the Bucks on a last-second floater by shifty point guard Luke Ridnour, but they also lost Yi Jianlian for (at least) a month in tonight's contest. Yi broke the pinky finger on his right hand, which of course, is his shooting hand. Depending on the healing process, his return may be as far as six or seven weeks away.

Since I registered as a New Jersey Nets blogger (though I could have registered under the Mets, Jets or even Knicks), I figured I'd begin with a Nets post. I noticed that the top forum topic is, "What can the Nets do to win a championship this year?" or something along those lines.

I have a couple of other blogs, as well. I know I'm signed on as a New Jersey Nets blogger here, but I'll also be discussing the Knicks, Mets, Jets, and Huskies, in addition to some general MLB, NFL, and NBA content.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

Did you miss me? Sorry for the extended hiatus once again, but I was busy being cooped up in a metal box for days on end, plus I had to go ahead and lose all of my money to various undeserving casinos and their patrons, so I've had no time to reflect on the world of sports. Many of you are probably expecting to read (or at least skim) some bitter, semi incoherent rambling post about Tom Brady's left knee and the dirty Chiefs and the especially classless fans of the NFL who actually had the gall to celebrate and commemorate a horrific injury to the league's best player, but I've gotta leave something for Simmons to do, so that will not be a part of my post today. Instead, I'm going to hide from my problems inside the twisted world of the NBA, where my beloved Boston Celtics are still champions, and my mistresses, the Portland Trailblazers are looking better than ever and are brimming with talent and potential.

Well, well, the day is finally here. Tonight, I (along with many other rabid basketball fans) will have my eyes and ears glued to my TV set to find out who will go number 1 overall what crazy-ass (Benny, you were an English major, do I need to hyphenate "crazy-ass"?) deal Blazers General Manager Kevin Pritchard will swing during this year's NBA Draft.

It's been reported that Paul Pierce has been icing his knees lately and wouldn't mind a rest. While this may seem troubling to Celtics fans, it's actually just a nice means for me to explain for the 365,872 time why it is soooooo nice to play in the Eastern Conference of the NBA.
