NBA Bottom 5

How about the stories around the league this week?  Phil Jackson missed a game because of pain in his legs.  Funny, I guess I forgot he had become a player-coach.  The Knicks signed Mouhamed Sene because they are “desperate for blocks”.  They’re already out of the playoffs.  They sound like they’re run like my fantasy team.  Those stories and worse didn’t make the bottom 5.  Strap yourself in…

5. End of Regular Season- Each team has about 4 games left to play before the playoffs, which means we’re only a few months from the end of the 2008-2009 NBA season.  It also means the end of the NBA Bottom 5.  Sure, we could continue through the playoffs, but meanwhile the MLB has been getting a free-ride without anyone calling them out on their crapulence.  Now is including the end of the NBA Bottom 5 in the NBA Bottom 5 egotistical?  Yes, but it’s at number 5, so it’s not overly egotistical.   

4. Zaza Pachulia- This picture says it all.  Go ahead and soak that in for a while.  Nothing about that is good for the NBA.  If the league folds before next season, historians will trace the root of the problems back to that photo. 

3. New Orleans Hornets- The Hornets are somehow experiencing prosperity in a poor economic climate in a poor city called New Orleans.  They’ve had a record number of sell-outs and are getting tremendous support from sponsors.  They’ve also decided to take the league’s bail-out loan “just in case”.  It’s actions like this that make people root for the hurricane.

2. Scot Pollard- Cheryl Miller was putting on her trademark unbearably unwatchable routine and ripping Pollard for showing up late for their studio show.  And Pollard didn’t get a single decent shot back at her. Miller isn’t exactly the hardest person to rip, Scot.  You played in the NBA for years, or at least you were a part of plenty of teams.  You had to have heard some gems from teammates in the locker room.  Show some backbone and flame Cheryl Miller already.

1. Andray Blatche- He hasn’t been able to beat out JaVale McGee and get consistent playing time for one of the league’s worst teams.  There are stories about his unprofessionalism all over the Internet, like when he was seen eating a huge plate of nachos before a game because he assumed he wouldn’t play.  But now, he seems to have topped himself.  He’s throwing an end of the season celebration on Sunday, which is the night before the Wizards’ last home game, which is a couple games before their actual last game.  Not only that, but Bootlegger Sports has yet to receive our invitation.  For shame, Blatche.
