The Suns, The Kidd, The Mets, and "The Show"

I am currently watching the Suns on FSN. Its 52-33 proving one thing: the Suns can play defense when they try. They had EIGHT blocks. They are playing the Hawks but its still an improvement over previous years. They won big. Yes, I just waited until the game was over to finish this post. The Suns are a lot of fun to watch. With Amare and Marion dunking, Barbosa "The Blur" and Raja Bell shooting around, and of course Steve Nash running the whole show, it really is a spectacle. And its so refreshing to have Grant Hill back after only a few games off with an injury as opposed to half the season like in previous years. I love that he's back on a team that I can cheer for. Anyway I hope the Suns can make a deep playoff run despite being one of the leagues worst defensive rebounding teams. They allowed the Hawks 26 offensive rebounds. Thats ridiculous.

In other news Jason Kidd asked for a trade. Except for the question of is it really news? I mean people have been talking about him wanting to go to a different team for about a year now. Its just the first time he's said it. Its just too bad though. Kidd's a great player but this is the third time he's kind of forced his way off a team. Then you've got Richard Jefferson having a great season thanks in large part to Vince Carter having a bad season and well, overall I just feel sorry for the Nets.

Johan Santana is going to the Mets. Congratulations New York. Thats all. I really have nothing to say about a story that has been talked about for months now. Mostly because its all been said. The Mets get a great pitchers and the Twins get four not so decent prospects.

And for my last little rant I just have to complain about Fox Sports Net. Its great for local teams and the people who get to watch their teams play even when ESPN won't air any games from your area, but why is its main sports show called "The Best Damn Sports Show Period"? The only true statement there is "The Show." Damn and Period are just unnecessary, Sports is iffy at best since they don't just talk about sports, and "Best"...well that just plain not true. Its in fact nowhere near being the best sports show on television.

Goodnight
