Monta Ellis Tells All

“I woke up around noon and called Baron and Elton,” Ellis said. “Yes, that Baron [Davis] and Elton [Brand]. You see, the plan was for Baron to re-sign and Elton to join the two of us in Golden State. We were going to be the West Coast version of Boston’s ‘Big Three’…only better.”

However, when the injury occurred, Baron and Elton apparently reconsidered their surprise plans.

“I knew the injury was going to effect my season, but I never imagined that Davis and Brand would completely abandon the plans,” Ellis admitted. “But after the incident … I guess they got scared. They probably knew I’d get suspended or fined when the news broke that I had hurt myself riding a moped, and didn’t want to get penalized themselves.”

Could it be, that a simple moped accident – something that happens thousands of times every year in the United States – altered the entire course of the next few seasons in Oakland? [read more]

A Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

Usually, I don't like to create wishlists for myself when the holidays come around. Most years, I don't think I deserve half of what I get . . . but this year, Santa, I've been working really hard to be a good girl. I don't shoplift (as much as I used to). I no longer lie to my parents. I haven't cheated on any tests, played hooky from work, and I try every day to think positively about my life and to give back to the community that so generously gave to me. I check myself with the quickness when I find myself judging others and try to bestow the utmost patience upon those beezies and suckas who so regularly infiltrate my days and nights. I am aware of my impact on the environment and am trying my hardest to do my part to help by recycling and cutting water usage as much as possible (but, Santa, I can't give up my bi-weekly soaks!).

That being said, dear Santa, all I am asking for is lower level tickets to see the Golden State Warriors play. I know that they aren't doing so well this season, but I do believe that if I could just get out to Oracle at least once... my love and support will make a difference. Lord knows they need a little help.

That's it, Santa. Any game and any seat will do, but if I could see Steve Nash, Monta Ellis and/or Baron Davis from a lower level perspective, I will be eternally grateful to you and every other higher power that exists to make people happy this time of year.

Sincerely,
Lauren

On My Man's Return to the Court

If you haven't noticed already, I have an almost life-debilitating obsession with Monta Ellis, point guard and shooting guard for the Golden State Warriors. Unfortunately, due to a STUPID ASS NON-BASKETBALL RELATED incident, my man Ellis was suspended for the first 30 games of the season. His suspension ends officially on December 17th. But, even more upsetting to me is the fact that he won't be suiting up until the beginning of next year so that he can fully recover from his STUPID ASS injury.

Now, I'm not too happy with Ellis' STUPID ASS right now because his STUPID ASS is costing us (and by us, I mean the Warriors) valuable wins. Yes, I understand that it's the beginning of the season but if you take a look at the past few games we lost... we've lost to ROOKIE ASS teams that we should have beat! (Ahem, the Grizzlies?!?!) And the season ain't getting any easier, people. We haven't even played the Lakers, the Suns (Yeah, Steve Nash!!), or the Celtics yet. But I'm not here to complain or talk shit about my man because, honest to God, I love Monta Ellis. He's amazing.

Anyway.

So, to quell my fetish, I have been youtubing/googling Monta's fine Southern ass on a regular basis. Today, as I was composing my Christmas wishlist (which will be ready in a couple of weeks for those of you so inclined to buy me nice gifts) I came across the most beautiful thing I've ever seen...




Monta Ellis is officially a franchise. Yes, my man has a shoe and it's coming out to herald his return. What a way to ring in the new year!

One of the HAPPIEST Nights of My Life

Golden State Warriors vs. L.A. Lakers - 12.14.2007

Sigh, I miss my boys... Can't wait to see Baron Davis this weekend!!! We miss you!! And Monta... we f*ing need you back!!



In other NBA news, Stever Nash (one game without pay), Matt Barnes and Rafer Alston (two games with out pay for both) have been suspended for the brawl this Wednesday. Shaquille O'Neill and Tracy McGrady were fined for their participation. Although, if you watch the video, Shaq made a beastly intervention on behalf of Steve Nash.

If you missed it, I posted the video . . . its NBA drama at its finest.

Warrior Update!

Right after I've finished processing Davis' departure and the arrival of Turiaf... I've got to deal with this >>>

MONTA ELLIS

With our lead scorer out of commission... who's Jackson going to depend on now? Goodbye, finals.

Fuck my life, man.
