Dwight Howard is angry.  He was in a-hole mode last night in his post game interview with Mike Trudell, providing short and curt responses to all his questions.  It’s obvious that Dwight is annoyed   everyone is counting the Lakers out without Kobe, and acting like he and the rest of his teammates are a bunch of scrubs.  Heck, as long as Steve Blake keeps playing like Reggie Miller, the Lakers should win a championship this year.

The USA Today is reporting that two people close to Howard say they now expect him to re-sign with the Lakers this summer.  Those two people also spoke “on the condition of anonymity” out of respect for the fact Howard has been known to change his mind more frequently than a teenage girl.

Thank god the Astros moved to the AL West or else the Angels might still be looking for their first win at home this season.  Who the hell does Ted Lilly think he is? The dude is taking a beating in the minor leagues, and now he’s demanding to be on the Dodgers major league roster or be released.  Hey Ted, unless you can play 3rd base and hit some home runs, which we know you can’t, just keep your mouth shut and enjoy your $12 million salary.

It’s probably a good thing Tiger Woods didn’t win the Masters this weekend.  A victory would have been looked at with an “asterisk”  in the eyes of most people.  Adam Scott was phenomenal, but the most entertaining part of the weekend was all the cheater jokes that Tiger’s penalty created.  Lindsay Vonn’s ex-husband Thomas tweeted the following:

No problem Masters tournament happy to call in and help. You always have to keep an eye on those cheaters 😉

Sorry Laker fans….the playoffs aren’t happening.  If the Jazz go 3-1 over their final 4 games, the Lakers have to go 5-0.  This team hasn’t won on the 2nd night of a back-to-back all season long, and we know it almost never happens in Portland.  Good thing I just sent the Lakers a fat check for playoff tickets I’m not going to get.

As for the Clippers, don’t fool yourself into thinking all is well with this team.  Since their 17 game win streak earlier this season, they have struggled against the elite teams in the Western Conference.  Does anybody really think they can beat Denver, OKC, or San Antonio in a playoff series?  I sure don’t.

We’re only one week into the baseball season, but there’s already some big concerns about our local squads.  The Halos are off to an ugly 2-4 start, which is a disturbing resemblance to what we saw one year ago from them.  The offense has had some ups and downs, and now the teams only reliable starting pitcher is banged up.    Meanwhile, the Dodgers have been getting great pitching, but for $230 million you would hope the team could drive in a few more runs every night.

Great game between the Ducks and Kings last night at the Honda Center.  The Ducks prevailed 4-3 in a shootout, but this was a physical game with a playoff feel to it.  Not only does this appear to be one of the few seasons where both local teams will make the playoffs, but they both might be good enough to matchup with each other in the 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs.

Finally, I’ve got Louisville tonight over Michigan 77-71.  An interesting drinking game to play would be to drink every time Kevin Ware is showed on TV.  Of course, you would probably be dead about 10 minutes into the game.
