anybody else surprised how the nba's going along so far?

i've always liked the eastern conference more than the west; things are interesting now(although i'd still wish celts and bulls were stronger)

bucks are looking good... i've kinda liked michael redd starting 2 years ago, so with a good roster, look for them to be decent again. i found it interesting how he got his dad(he's a p.k.) a church. so it's definitely a surprise who's a christian in the nba; not like the days of old where the only christians were the ones who were definitely outspoken about it(robinson and avery)

wizards look GOOD... some will say that they got lucky against the spurs(duncan shot poorly), but on top of arenas having a good shot, they actually took the place of chicago, ie they had the best allowed fgp; something like 39%. guess they didn't need hughes after all.

pistons are doing GREAT; leads in points allowed, and top ten in points per game; they're doing it on both ends. i don't need to talk TOO much about the pistons; you know how much i'm liking them, and how well they're doing, but just to throw out some stats; best start the pistons ever did was 9-0; i believe the same year they did that, they went on to win their 1st nba championship. the best streak to start though belongs to washington and houston; i believe they went 15-0. it's not a stretch to say the pistons CAN duplicate that feat and go over it; i don't see spurs, indiana, or heat in any of their up-coming games, but you never know. i'm hoping they at least break their franchise record(ie 10-0); they're 7-0 right now.

btw, pierce called prince a poor defender. supposedly b/c he doesn't need to worry too much if ppl blow by him, cause he's got wallace x2. but apparently paul forgot that prince doesn't LET people blow by him often to begin with.

it's eating me up inside how much the lakers and kings suck, and that the warriors and clippers lead the pacific conference. wouldn't it be funny to see supposed "clippers fans" come outta the woodwork if they make the playoffs and the lakers don't? all of us will be called "bs, i never heard of a die-hard clippers fan"

now, it seems like the west as a whole just isn't as strong as the east, and i'm liking that too. like i've said b4, spurs, and then a long drop, and then it seems like everybody's meshed together.

injury prone? nah, but hey...

walking to one of my classes (food packaging class), while eating kashi out of a ziplock bag w/my open palm...

something flies RIGHT onto my cereal right as i put it in my mouth...

i thought it was a leaf, but just to be sure, i spit out whatever was in my mouth...

i saw a live bee alongside those clusters...

in pure shock i immediately threw the cereal and the bee in my palm onto the grass.

good thing i did NOT chew, or my mouth could've been in a world of hurt. i was lucky enough it didn't bite me when i first put it in my mouth and closed it.

and if it survived the chewing and went into my stomach? god only knows how many holes might stomach might've had by now.

whatthehell do bees do flying onto palms of hands, wanting to sting like that?

and i caused my left big toe to bleed when i accidently pulled the nail up getting up(hard to explain), essentially separating some of the skin underneath the nail.

if you treat goh like a sort of washed-up akira, you could probably play him fairly well

f,f+p:b+p+g is your f,f,f+p
b,df+p is your df+p+k; make the b,df+p good by doing it as b,b,df+p to give it a better chance of beat a lot of stuff
b,f+p is a little different in that you can't use it for delayed attacks; but abuse this move after every successful dodge and after blocking slow moves
FC,f+p+k is the same in terms of using it to beat certain moves; however, it doesn't have as much range, and of course, doesn't have the high damage possibilities as akira's move

make sure to use his long range moves; b,f+k, b+p, and k are all good moves when goh's not on top of his opponent. if not on top of the opponent, mod the moves by doing a backdash first; especially good with the b+p.

always look to throw, but not TOO much.

unfortunately, you need to work a LOT to use goh well; he's just so lacking in the strike attacks. fun though. i'd say the best options for his delayed attack is to either go for f+p+k,p(40 pts base damage plus oppurtunity to pressure them even more as they get up), or shoulder ram(27 ish pts plus oppurtunity to pressure as they stagger), but he just doesn't really have anything there. f,f+k+g:b+p+g MIGHT be good once in a while, but it's just not quick enough to snag the opponent repeatedly.

hahahahaha

have you actually realized that

the warriors and the clips are now the best cali bball teams!?!?

as of now, clippers, then warriors, then lakers, then kings.

don't hate; the birth of a new rivalry is occurring.

now how'd you like us now, kings and laker fans?

(thanks God, you make me smile knowing that red hot chili peppers bassist flea is rolling over in his sleep as i can tell by his blog)

btw, i don't pray and never pray for basketball teams or any sports teams to become better and get more wins or win a championship; that's being selfish.
