Rich folk.

Haha. Score was 85-84 for me and I had Hines Ward, Steelers 3rd ranked defense and Heath Miller which resulted in an instant injury to Hines Ward, -4 points for the defense and luckily Miller got nine. So now what looked like an easy win is going to be my kicker Gano vs Celek!

Yeah Fred Jackson saved two of my teams.

Really Peyton?

You also don't bench a veteran in his contract year especailly with the Nets really interested in keeping him by the sound of it. Favors has openly talked about how he knows it will take time and understands he isn't going to be Dwight Howard in a year. He had his hot start then cooled down again but says he's learning a lot from the bench as Sam and the rest of the coaches have been talking constantly with him as he gets a first hand look without the negative results. Like I said with Sean Williams, we put him with the best and it went to his head. You could tell he came into camp without working on really anything because he assumed he would be the day one starter. I'd rather not rush him especailly since he was known as such a project to begin with.

Because the older one has started in 481 games and is a better fit beside Lopez right now. Also make Favors earn something like overtaking someone of that statures position rather than giving it to them like the problems we had with Sean Williams. There will be a better picture in a month IMO as Murphy will be adjusted with the team and Avery should have a more consistant picture of who plays when.

I wish I could sleep.

Failure. Fearing the failure means you still have that chance to overcome the failure while failure means you missed the shot or failed the test.

Moffet, Quebec. Absolutely nothing there which makes it so peaceful and relaxing.

Montreal takes five penalties in Carolina zone but still get the win. Looks like Markov tore his ACL again...yay!

Patrick Sharp and Eric Meloche for Matt Ellison. -_-

First team to score has won 80 percent of the games so far.

Like father, like son. Musselman has always been around coaching. His father, Bill, was a coaching legend in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) as he led the Tampa Bay Thrillers to four championships and earned himself a Coach of the Year award in 1988. “Since the 7th grade, I always knew I wanted to be a professional basketball coach,” Musselman proclaimed. “I idolized my dad, and felt that being a head coach at a young age at a minor league level was better preparation than being an assistant at the collegiate or NBA level.” He followed in his father’s footsteps as he entered his first year as head coach in the CBA at the 22, one year younger than his father had been. Though he admits it was not easy stating his first game in Sioux Falls was more nerve racking than his first NBA game considering he was the youngest coach ever to step on the sidelines of a CBA game. He coached the Rapid City Thrillers for five more seasons where he made a record five CBA All-Star Games and became the youngest coach to 100 wins. Musselman then spent three years switching from the United States Basketball League (USBL) and CBA posting a record of 128 wins and a mere 36 loses, guiding the Florida Sharks to back-to-back championships. His coaching dominance of the CBA and USBL raised the eyes of many general managers and in 2002 he got his first chance in the big league. Garry St. Jean, the general manager of the Golden State Warriors hired him to coach a roster full of young potential with names such as Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, Antawn Jamison and Troy Murphy. For the past five seasons the Warriors had not cracked 22 wins on the season but Musselman wasn’t shy of a challenge. He managed to put up 38 wins, 17 more than the last season but unfortunately was not enough to crack a playoff spot in the West as the Kings, Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks were still huge powerhouses compared to the young roster of the Warriors. While he missed the playoffs, he wasn’t missed by the NBA as he finished second behind the eventual NBA champion Greg Popovich in Coach of the Year voting. The off-season was tough on the Warriors as they lost Gilbert Arenas to free agency while general manager St. Jean traded away Antwan Jamison for veterans Avery Johnson and Nick Van Exel. Though he had many new faces and the West was still the dominant conference, the Warriors managed to finished fourth in the Pacific Division with 37 wins but missed the playoffs by three spots. Unfortunately for him, a grenade went off in the front office and heads rolled including Musselman. A mere two years after being runner up for Coach of the Year, he found himself jobless but understands the business and is not bitter about his release from the Warriors. “Any time you get an opportunity to be a head coach in the NBA is a privilege no matter how many games you get an opportunity to coach,” Musselman said. “I grew up in the business since my dad was an NBA head coach, and understand that coaches are hired to be fired. In Golden State, there was a change in management, and usually that means a coaching change is soon to follow.” He earned another shot at the NBA just two years later with the Sacramento Kings. The Kings were coming off an eight year playoff streak as the fire was slowly fading. Peja Stojakovic was traded for the troubled Ron Artest and he began his off-court shenanigans distracting the team and added the media’s eye to a once dominant franchise. The Kings finished the season 33-49 and missed the playoffs but Musselman had created a star in Kevin Martin as he has finally been giving a chance to shine putting up 20 points per game but all management saw was a failed season and let the head coach go after a single season. Unremarkably, Musselman was still not bitter. Rumors flew about him entering the college ranks as former Toronto Raptors coach Kevin O'Neill entered the University of Arizona coaching job. Months passed and Musselman still hadn’t found a job yet until he stepped in a new direction becoming the coach of the Dominican Republic national basketball team for the 2010 Men’s Centro Basketball Championship. While he didn’t get the bigger names that had played in 2009 like Francisco Garcia and Al Horford but was lucky enough to get Charlie Villanueva. Musselman guided the team to the finals with a 4-0 record losing to Puerto Rico by eight points but qualified for the FIBA Americas Championship 2011 which will hopefully eventually end up in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Two months later, he found himself in a familiar place. Though he had never coached the Reno Bighorns, his father had while the team was in the Western Basketball Association where he led them to their first and only appearance in the finals. Although the pressure is high for him to repeat thus a performance, Musselman is enjoying his time in the D-League so far. “It's been great,” he stated. “The D-League draft was exciting, my family has adjusted well to Reno and the coaching staff has had a lot of fun in preparation for the upcoming season.” The Reno Bighorns selected Nick Fazekas with the number one overall pick. They also selected Takais Brown, Chavis Holmes and James Florence, putting together the roster for the 2010 season. “We're looking for guys to fill specific roles, and think we have assembled an excellent squad this season,” he states. “Every morning starts with the practice plan. Once that is done, we hit the court. After practice, we review our practice and then review film on upcoming opponent.” Musselman is entering his fifth coaching challenge that has ranged from international to the CBA but loves the challenge of working with the young and old as he has produced numerous NBA talents and has even helped the careers of Arenas and Martin. “Every league creates different challenges. In the D-League, you have a constant fluctuation of players coming and going and you have to be able to adapt quickly,” he says. Quickly is the main key as the he looks to continue his dominance of coaching basketball. This time he will look to finish off what his father just came short of -- a championship to the city of Reno.

He won't get traded this early because he's not going to get anywhere near the same value back.

Never got the whole dramatic exit. He took the time to add 76 members as friends on his profile but can't just have a polite good bye?

Basketball: New Jersey Nets Hockey: Montreal Canadiens Football: Montreal Alouettes, Green Bay Packers College: Syracuse Oranage Haven't gotten myself back with the Nets as much as I'd like but still feel I know the team as well as I know the Canadiens. I'm one of the few people who like the CFL and try to follow the Packers but often so much sports all in one season.

I'm still confused on where I may find this "new content" button....gosh I'm dumb. Edit: Found it. Love the skin but I also love clicking that button after each post I make.

Where did the view recent post button go!

Everything but the gameplay is amazing. Love how they set up the screens and everything and even think the points system is cool too but the gameplay has horrible graphics IMO. Might get it if I see it cheap somewhere since it's pretty fun.

Beauty win.

O'Byrne has been traded to Colorado for Michaël Bournival. I'm a fan of Ryan so I don't like this trade as he's a big defensemen who can actually skate but I guess Bournival has a high chance of making the Junior team. Plus he's a Quebecer and it allows a Quebecer in Picard to stay with the team.

Would rather North America vs. the World again. Those were good.

I'm losing 130 to 12. He still has three more guys to go.

I don't think even the Nets expected him to start this way as we often aren't great at quick starts with rookies. Now if we trade him for Carmelo, that wouldn't be too smart considering what else we can offer.
