Even though that injury killed the Hornets' season, West's injury was somehow fortuitous. The Nyets were a mortal lock to overpay West this summer, this fall, this winter, or whenever the lockout was settled. If you're scoring at home, he was totally underrated, then overrated for being underrated, then just overrated, then properly rated, and this year, he somehow became underrated again. The other fascinating Hornets subplot: David West was crushing his contract year. Was he terrified of reinjuring his knee and just taking it slowly? Does he plan on cranking it up a notch in the playoffs? Was it a one-night thing where his knee felt good and he cut loose? I'm riveted, suddenly. Then I got roped into Wednesday's Rockets-Hornets game and, much to my surprise, Paul looked like the old CP3 again. His first step was gone now he was picking his spots like a savvy veteran, which would be fine if he wasn't 25. I watched less Hornets basketball than any other 2011 playoff team because of Chris Paul: Every time I watched him, I found myself thinking about Tim Hardaway, Andrew Toney, Sidney Moncrief and any other potential great from my lifetime whose Hall of Fame pass got swiped by an injury. In Part Two of Power Poll, you get my MVP pick, my Finals pick and eight ounces of my blood. Really, the Red Sox season had to be over before Tax Day? I hate everything.įortunately, the NBA playoffs can distract me as the Red Sox make their bid for 0-162. Also, I'm down two remote controls, three knuckles and four bottles of whiskey. Since we posted Part One last Friday, Detroit turned on Charlie Sheen, women's college basketball caught up to men's college basketball, the Reelz Network became the first-ever cable channel to have 15 minutes of fame (and then use them up), Pia was tragically voted off "American Idol" about six weeks too early, and Red Sox fans broke the record for "Earliest Pressing of the Panic Button Ever." The whole world feels different. I waited too long to post Part Two of my NBA Mega-Power Poll.
