What time is it? It's Spoiled Millionaires time!

[kellinator]

So Halloween is over and now everyone will start preparing for Christmas (totally neglecting my beloved Thanksgiving). But it's okay, because what happens today is almost as good as Christmas: the beginning of Spoiled Millionaires Theater* the NBA season!

* Spoiled Millionaires Theater can actually refer to any professional sport, but I prefer basketball because 1). I understand the rules and 2). I like bling.

So, in honor of the holiday season... my NBA wish list!

• This one is so obvious I shouldn't even have to put it on here: I want DRAHMAH in Lakerland!! The Lakers are the best dysfunctional soap opera in sports (sorry, fellow Yankee-haters) and you know you want to see Kobe and Phil at each other's throats. Kwame Brown is just the icing on the cake.
• And the corrolary: DRAHMAH in New York!! Come on, this is a train wreck just waiting to happen. What's the over/under on how long until Larry Brown gets caught taking calls from other teams during halftime? I'll be generous and say March.
• I want the players to stop bitching about the new dress code and have some fun with it. Two words, guys: Draft Day. I wanna see some chartreuse suits!
• I want the Suns to prove everyone wrong and go on a tear even without Amare Stoudemire, thus proving that Steve Nash really is the MVP.
• More Ali G. spots.
• Lots of screaming on all the sports shows. Will this be the year that someone finally punches Steven A. Smith in the mouth? Stay tuned!
• No more injuries for Grant Hill. Enough is enough.
• I'm not saying I'm wishing for a huge brawl to break out between the Toronto players and their increasingly-unhinged coach, Sam Mitchell, because it's going to happen whether I want it to or not. I'm just hoping that it's televised.
• I could tell you I want a great season for the Hawks, but that might give you the mistaken impression that I give a shit about the Hawks.

I'm having lunch tomorrow with some people from the main library over there -- you're welcome to come along, if you'd like! Email me if you're interested; if not, we'll hook up some other time!

like the hawks are gonna listen to your wishes... they provide a good season for every other team though!

is it possible for them to go 0-82?

I would like to but probably won't be able to make it. I'll try and let you know for sure tomorrow. Thank you for thinking of me!

Okeedokee -- you and I can set up our own lunch date sometime :)

My thoughts:

Grant Hill is already hurt.

Larry Brown will succeed with the Knicks (relatively speaking). Brown is a nomad, but he consistently takes bad teams and makes them better (usually playoff better).

Steve Nash is not the MVP.

I would like to see Stephen A. Smith hit in the mouth. Or, possibly, stabbed.
