NBA playoffs/ Yankee Stadium/ Upton

NBA playoffs
The NBA playoffs have been hard to watch without the Suns being in it. It has however shown me a lot about other players and teams across the NBA. First, Stan Van Gundy is almost as dumb as his brother Jeff. The announcer that I want to take his voice box out so I do not have to listen to him try to analyse the NBA. His Magic should be destroying the 76ers. He doesn't know how to use Dwight Howard, the best non-suns player in the league. I could go on a long list about what hes has done dumb, but I am to lazy right now. Second, Billups is a stud PG. He is taking Chris Paul to school right now. Paul is playing fine, but he is not Billups. I think that is the difference in this playoff series. Paul will be fine and at some point if the Hornets get him a better team, he will win a championship or two. Right now though, Billups may be the best PG in the playoffs. I have to touch on the Suns for a bit. I hope Nash comes back. I love Nash, he is my favorite player of all-time. I think Shaq is funny. I like Gentry, and thinks he deserves a chance with a good team. I don't know what the plans are for the Suns, but if they traded Shaq and Nash for draft pick I would understand. If they got a new coach I would be ok, if it wasn't as dumb of a hire as Terry Porter. I hope though that Nash is back, and Gentry for that matter.

Yankee Stadium
Let me preface this as I hate the Yankees. I hate the Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs, and Mets more. But i still can not stand them. However, that is an amazing stadium. If I was going to play in the Major league baseball, which I would if I could. I would love to play for the Yankees. they take care of their players. Many people go there to get a huge paycheck. Girardi is a lame choice for manager, they should have kept Torre. That's a whole different story. But the only thing the Yankees do, is what every other fan wants their teams to do. I would love the Dbacks to spend money. 2001 was awesome, and very special. Now the Dbacks only spend money on there 4th outfield.
Justin Upton/Bob Melvin
Speaking of the Dbacks. Wow, maybe I need to work as a manger. First, I know Upton has struggled. I know you are paying Byrnes way too much. I love Byrnsie though. But if Upton is as good as everyone says he is, he needs to be in the lineup everyday and in the 5th or 6th hole. Not the 8th hole. Melvin is hurting his future star. If you want to see him blossom let him play. He will get it. I think Melvin's time is almost over. He and his hitting coach need to see the door SOON. We should be competing in this division. I know the stupid dodgers are good. Its sucks, but we could be just as good. The whole team has forgotten to hit. And its been bad for a long time. I would love to see Mark Grace take over. I don't think he could do any worse. But between him and Tony Clark on the team plus a good veteran bench coach would be strong for the Dbacks. The players would play better.
