YOLO All-Stars

Alright, it's been a while since I've posted. To start things of I put together a small roster of what I like to call the YOLO All-Stars. These are players that chuck up the most random shots and somehow get them to go in (or not).

PG

J.R. Smith, #8, New York Knicks

Since there aren't many inefficient Point Guards in the league as these players on this team, I have to go with a Shooting Guard. J.R. Smith (as shown above) shows that even though he gets his shot to fall, he does take terrible shots. J.R.'s game is made up of either thunderous dunks, raining threes, or terrible shots like this one.

 

SG

Gerald Green, #14 Phoenix Suns 

Although he's from my hometown Suns, he still has to be on this list. Here's an example why. The score was 103-102, Timberwolves had the lead. There is still seven seconds left. Markieef Morris dumps off the ball to Gerald Green who then shoots this abysmal shot and somehow gets it to go in with four seconds to go. The Timberwolves fail to convert the next possession, and the Suns win.

SF

Kobe Bryant, #24, Los Angeles Lakers

This is a bad quality picture and not a .gif,so I'll explain it. Here we have the Lakers playing the New Jersey Nets with under five seconds to go, down by three. Kobe obviously has to take the shot, but why should he?? There are two wide open Lakers on the top of the key and the right wing, but no; Kobe decides to shoot it, and miss, losing the game. 

PF 

Carmelo Anthony, #7, New York Knicks

Here's a thirty-foot three pointer that was totally un-needed. He made it, as he make others, too. He is probably the best player on the list this year averaging 28 points and 9 rebounds, and he is one of my favorite players, so I'll cut him some slack. 

C

ANDREA BARGNANI,#77, New York Knicks

Wow! The Third New York Knick on here. I guess that explains their failure this year. I really don't like Bargnani, mostly because he was the #1 pick in the 2006 draft over my boy LaMarcus Aldridge, Rajon Rondo, Paul Millsap, and Rudy Gay. AS you can see all the bonehead plays (and rubbing heads on The Big Ticket) by Bargnani only as a Knick in one season. The last one is the one I want to talk about. The Bucks and the Knicks are leading, 94-92 with 15 seconds to go and the shot clock running. Smith takes a shot and misses, but the Knicks get the offensive rebound and dish it out to Bargnani. There's 11 seconds with no shot clock so he can just sit on the ball and wait to get fouled, but instead he decides to shoot and miss, giving the Bucks the ball back. Shaqtin' a Fool has been boring this year due to the absence of JaVale McGee (which is why he's not on the list), and I think I found his perfect replacement. LOOK HERE SHAQ 

AFC

Ok so the reason why I haven't put up this post yet is because I was waiting for the Chiefs vs Broncos game, and it came yesterday.

So:

Indianapolis Colts
New York Jets (There you go Mr.Smith)         Indianapolis Colts                Indianapolis Colts
                                                                      New England Patriots                                      
                                                                                                                                          Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs                                                                                                                          
Cincinnati Bengals                                       Kansas City Chiefs                   Denver Broncos
                                                                  Denver Broncos



So it's pretty obvious that the Chiefs will win the wild card game. The only reason why they would probably be a wild card is because the Broncos are the other team in the division. There's one more match up between the Chiefs and Broncos, and that just may be the main factor in deciding who would get the division and who would fall to the wild card. Either way, there is an 85% chance that they'll meet in the divisional round. I personally think that the Broncos can and will perform better in the postseason, which is why I picked them into the Superbowl.

For the other divisional game, yes, I picked the Colts over the Patriots. Sorry +Somil Jain, but I don't think the Patriots have really won any difficult games as opposed to the Colts who defeated both the Broncos and the Seahawks.

So for the Superbowl, I predicted the Seahawks and the Broncos. It hasn't changed from before the preseason started and +Vedik Navale can vouch for me.

Eric Bledsoe

I am really impressed in Eric Bledsoe right now. 

Let's compare his stats with some other elite point guards.

MIN	3PM	REB	AST	STL	BLK	PTS
34.0	1.3	4.4	7.3	1.9	0.1	20.9

Derrick Rose                                        

MIN	3PM	REB	AST	STL	BLK	PTS
31.0	1.2	2.8	4.0	0.2	0.2	14.4

 Tony Parker

MIN	3PM	REB	AST	STL	BLK	PTS
32.0	0.4	3.0	6.6	0.7	0.1	19.0

Chris Paul

MIN	3PM	REB	AST	STL	BLK	PTS
36.1	1.0	4.3	12.6	2.7	0.0	21.3

That's pretty good right?

PHX SUNSSS

So I'm like the only one that cares about the Suns, because I'm not an entire bandwagon. I care about my hometown team. They're doing pretty good, surprisingly. Mainly in part of because of Eric Bledsoe. I expected him to help the Suns a lot, but not this much. Right now, he's putting up averages of 21 points, eight assists, and five rebounds. He's 6'1" and he's averaging five rebounds? Daang. He is very efficient, too, shooting 50%. He's added in some clutch-ness with a game winning three over Utah. I was pretty mad yesterday when Coach Hornacek decided to shoot a game-winning three with Gerald Green instead of Bledsoe.
 The Suns' fresh legs and athleticism may just keep them in the Playoff race. We have two great fast point guards in Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe. We have a young center in Alex Len and a surprising beast in the post, Miles Plumlee, and soon we'll have Emeka Okafor. We can expect more to come from Markieff Morris who just came off a career game. P.J. Tucker is a very underrated player with his hustle on defense and his shooting abilities. 

For their own good, they shouldn't be as good as they are right now. With a stacked 2014 draft class containing players like Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, a lottery pick would be perfect for the Suns.

Jason Derulo

This is a sports blog. Just not this post. I'm kind of bored of sports right now, and I have no idea why.

I'm going to spend this post to tell you how amazing "Tattoos" is.

Jason Derulo kicked off his career with "Whatcha Say" which was #1 on the Billboard for a couple of weeks. He had a couple of other songs that made it to the Billboard like "Ridin' Solo", "In My Head", "Don't Wanna Go Home", and "It Girl". So I have no idea why he isn't as popular as he was.

O.K. so like it is AMAZING, as I said before. My favorite is Talk Dirty ft. 2 Chainz. It's really good except for 2 Chainz, but what with 2 Chainz is good. DOS CADENAS

"The Other Side" is good, but it became all mainstream.

"Trumpets" and "Stupid Love" are my second favorites. Especially Trumpets. I can't describe these with words.

Whoever reads this should take my word for it and go listen to it.

Lakers

All right, I guess I owe it to +Hailey Fischer. Opening day upset: Lakers beat the Clippers. It was a close game most of the way,but the Lakers won.

The Lakers' main issue last year was their bench. Their issue may have been solved on Tuesday when the bench beat the Clippers. 72 points off the bench. It was a confusing decision by Mike D'Antoni to play the bench the whole fourth quarter in such a close game, but it worked. The surprise player, Xavier Henry, scored 22 points.

How? Just how? I'm in a loss of words of how the Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, Jamal Crawford, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan could lose to Jordan Farmar, Jodie Meeks, Xavier Henry, Jordan Hill, and Chris Kaman? Is this the bench that the Lakers need(ed)? With Kobe returning soon, they may just be a title contender. 

NBA

YAY SO IT'S OCTOBER 28 TODAY.
 GUESS WHAT TOMORROW IS???????   THAT'S RIGHT! NBA SEASON STARTS TOMORROW! So the season kicks off with two great games. Chicago plays in Miami and the Lakers and Clippers square off in the Staples Center.

This is Derrick Rose's first regular season game since April 2012. This game is important because we haven't seen Rose play the Heat in a long time. A lot of people were looking forward to that ever since the playoffs of 2011. D-Rose has been phenomenal through the preseason averaging 20 points and 8 assists.

The other game, Lakers vs. Clippers... I can't express in words of how excited I am. The Clippers are near the top of my favorite teams in the NBA. What's not to like? LOB CITY! Chris Paul running the court and either Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan to lob it to. If that's no there, then they have pleeenty of three point options. They added J.J. Redick, Darren Collision, Jared Dudley, Byron Mullens, and Antwan Jamison only losing Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler. They even added Doc Rivers, one of the best coaches right now.

The Lakers. The big question. After losing Dwight Howard, they made a good move in signing a new bigman, Chris Kaman. Now can they perform? I think they can. Gasol may have a year similar to his first few years in L.A. having Nash run the point. Kobe (who needs no introduction) is Kobe. There's nothing more to say.

So here's the opening day of the NBA.
