Matt Pilgrim newest Wildcat

The University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team got a new member of the 2009 class. Matt Pilgrim. Matt Pilgrim transferred from Hampton and had a decent 2 years there. He averaged 7.7 PPG and 0.8 APG with a .302 3P%. He also had 5.2 RPG, 1.2 BPG, and 1.2 SPG. I don't know if this guy is good or not, but I am excited that he is coming to Kentucky and play for them. I think this guy knows what it takes to play at this level for Kentucky in the SEC. This guy is already enrolled there and taking classes. I like a guy who takes his classes and his schoolwork seriously and still play basketball. I since something about this guy. I have a feeling that he will be something great not just on the court but in the schoolroom as well.

Flip Saunders Fired

Just found word that the Pistons Head Coach Flip Saunders was fired by Joe Dumars. (The President of the Pistons.

"Decisions like this are difficult to make," team president Joe Dumars said on the team's Web site. "However, at this time, I feel it is necessary to make a change."

In his three seasons, the Pistons were 176-70 in the regular season and 30-21 in the postseason, but they lost in the conference finals each year.

Saunders had a year left on a four-year deal he signed in 2005. He replaced Larry Brown, who won a title in two trips to the NBA Finals.

He has a career record of 587-296 in 13 years with the Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves.

This guy was a good coach. Was he a great coach for a great team? No. But I respect him for stepping up to the plate and trying to hit the home run. I can tell he wanted to win the title but he just chocked. I am sorry that I have to say that about my NBA team but that's the truth. If you got to the Eastern Conference Finals for three strait seasons you have to at least go to the NBA finals once. That's all. One time out of three and he couldn't do that. That's the price you pay for not succeeding your expectations. So whats next for Tayshaun Prince and the Pistons for a coach. Hopefully Joe Dumars does not do a Bonehead decision again and get a really great experienced coach.

Pacman Reinstated?

I just watched SportSCenter a couple of minutes ago and heard that Pacman Jones has been partially reinstated by Roger Goodell. Is this the right move? I don't know? Is Pacman going to act up again and make it rain. Probably. Can you do anything about it? NO!!!! This guy is a strait thug he needs to be kicked out of the NFL and live on the streets. He is sooooo bad that i have been at stores with Pacaman jerseys and some kids ask their mothers or fathers if they can have a Pacman Jones jersey and most of them talked him out of it and asked the kid to by a Vince young Jersey. But some of the other parents just said NO. Pacman is bad news. I won't be surprised if he gets caught breaking the law again. What is jerry Jones thinking? Does he really think that he can keep Pacman out of trouble? Good luck with that Jerry. I am not only a Kentucky, Pistons fan. I am a huge Titans fan as well. Pacman was and is a disgrace to the whole franchise. It will be interesting to see what Pacman does next.

Jay Bruce on Fire!

Jay Bruce just started his rookie season on fire by hitting 3 home runs and 7 RBI's and his Batting Average is .577. That is outstanding for a rookie just comming into the league. I don't care what people say it's really hard to hit a 90 mile an hour pitch coming out to you.

Derrick Jasper and Billy Gillispie talking about transfer

Here are some of the quotes of billy Gillespie and Derrick Jasper about the Transfer.

“The decision to transfer is in no way an indication of my experience playing for UK,” Jasper said. “I feel at this point in my life, it is important for me to be close to my family, and I intend to transfer to a school closer to the west coast where I can see my family more often, and they can see me play.
“It was not an easy decision for me to make, since the fans have been so wonderful and very supportive of my teammates and me. I want to thank Coach Gillispie and the entire UK coaching staff for their guidance and support they have given me these past two years. I have grown a tremendous amount as a basketball player, and most importantly a person and feel it is largely due to the people involved with the UK basketball program.”

And a few words from Coach Clyde:

“It’s a disappointment to lose Derrick, who was fantastic for us both as a person and a basketball player,” UK Head Coach Billy Gillispie said. “He had to battle through some injuries, but he was always willing to sacrifice for the good of the team.
“I appreciate that Derrick was patient and took his time to make certain that this decision was what he felt was best for his future. We wish him all the best. Where ever he decides to attend will be getting an outstanding player who takes his academics very seriously.”

Rajon Rondo and Celtics makeing a BIG Statement

I had a fun time watching the Boston and Detroit game. It was mostly a close game throughout the game.

Let's start again about Tayshaun Prince. His performance last night was a whole lot better than any of the other games in the Eastern Conference Finals. He had only 1 point before halftime but flipped the switch in the third quarter and got 9 points. Plus he held pierce to a everage game. It was not enouph though, to stop Rajon Rondo and the Celtics. Congrats to the Celtics for advanceing to the Finals against the Lakers.
