Prediction: SI Sportsmen of the Year 2008

[Big Ticket]

The Big Three just became the odds on favorite.

Tiger winning the US Open with an injured knee.



Of course there is still the Olympics.

If Tiger wasn't missing the rest of the year, he'd definitely be up there.

Forgot about those Olympics... [dang].

Of course there is still the Olympics. 

Remember when the Olympics meant something? 

Ok, enough of that ---- back to the Celts.

Am I the only one happy that none of the Celtics are on Olympic teams?  While other teams top players get worn down during the summer, the Celtics recover.

yeah except for that part of me that doesn't want to see the season end and wants to see Paul continue to move his way into the national spotlight.

i mean the only reasons that Paul is not considered to be one of the all-time greats is that he doesn't have the vert of a Jordan or a Kobe or the early success of a Bird or a Magic or the ballyhooed arrival in the NBA of a LeBron.

but if you actually examine Pierce's game, there are not really any gaping holes.

Marc Jackson said it last night. he is the complete package -  especially now that he has upped his defense to the point where people are talking about it.

JVG who loves 'D' at point during the playoffs said something like "i had no idea that Pierce can play defense this good..."

part of me would love to see him take his game to the Olympics, but he deserves the rest too.....well deserved. and it jsut dawned on me that we still don't even know what is up with that knee...

yeah he deserves the break

[RebusRankin]

I think they'll give it to the Big 3.

[footey]

good call; you have to favor the big 3 at this point for SOY.
