3 Pointer by Gary Whittaker


Now there's a big surprise!

Ya'll better sit down for this one. It seems that Vince Carter has admitting to...are you ready...not playing hard all the time with the Raptors. Hello? You still there? Yes folks, it's true. The sky is blue, what goes up must come down, and Vince Carter not only had no heart, but now has no pride to go along with it. He does have joy, for as long as that lasts! Another true saying is what goes around, comes around. Vince moaned about lack of media support when he was called out, he had teammates traded (Antonio Davis and JYD) and must sure they were not resigned (T-Mac)when they called him out. There is no reason to doubt, or to question that history will repeat itself in New Jersey with the Nets. If New Jersey fails to make the playoffs (especially after the announcement that Richard Jefferson will have season-ending surgery), and worse still, sends Kidd on his way, look for Vince to return to his old ways. Instead of Air Canada, Vince was just full of hot air.

Super Supersonics

We have to say that Seattle has got to be the biggest surprise so far this year. at least in terms of team performance. No one expected Seattle to hold their own against anyone in the Eastern Conference, much less be near the top of the West. One only has to watch a game to see how they do it. Taking a page from Detroit's bible, the Supersonics have been about teamwork. Everyone contributes and plays a role in their gameplan. They have further cemented their status as a true contender for the championship after taking care of the Heat twice in 7 days this past week. Ok, they lost to Orlando and Washington in between, but regardless, they have to lose a few times in a season anyway.
