Weekend Chum Bucket

by craig on Nov 8, 2008 2:28 PM EST in News and Rumors

Sorry about the lack of posts for yesterday, but real life got in the way and there was absolutely nothing I could do. But things are better now and just in time to do the weekend Chum Bucket.

I'm not really sure what is happening this weekend. One would guess a bunch of college football games are being played, probably the NBA is in session and I'm thinking that hockey thing is still going on. If any of those things are of interest to you, comment away.

Perhaps you would rather comment on the finer things in life, the proper positions to stand, in which, to judge a painted work of art, the minimum amount of time one should allow red wine to breath, remembering back to when the only choices in Caviar were Beluga, Osetra and Sevruga, or the proper ratio of the number of bags needed of Scoop Fritos per pound of Publix pimento cheese.

Anything goes in the Weekend Chum Bucket (actually, anything goes in any Chum Bucket, but that is beside the point), so comment on absolutely anything you feel the need to.

Have a Great Weekend!

Mario Chalmers

Chalmers will be the “surprise” player of the year this year in the NBA.

heh

an Ichthyomancy brag in your sig…now that’s taking it seriously.

I don’t know how much Chalmers will accomplish this year; he’s behind an adequate (but by no means great) starter in Chris Quinn, and they’ll also be working Livingston into the lineup as his knee improves.

I’m guessing that Chalmers may spend the year learning the ropes, playing only in spurts, before blossoming next year.

Don't know anything about Chalmers but...

I do know this: no one has repeated as the Ichthyomancy champion in the regular season or in the playoffs until Hurricane and Stlcardinalsfan did it in the playoffs this year.

To me, that is something to brag about.

Aside: I still haven’t forgotten you and Bumppo. Unfortunately, things are moving quite slowly at the moment.

Starter

Chalmers is actually already starting http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/mia/depthchart

I would prefer he not start the first year and learn the ropes as you say, but he’s been thrown into the fire and I’m confident he’ll rise to the occasion…. he is clutch… hopefully the heat will keep things close enough for his clutchyness to matter….

Yeah, shortly after posting that,

I read Ira Winderman’s blog in which he points out the same thing. I had seen parts of the last couple Heat games, but I guess due to odd timing, Chalmers wasn’t on the floor for any of it (or at least much of it). I hadn’t realized he’s actually starting now.

Good for him, though. I guess they feel he’s ready to start given their other PG options—or at least, maybe he’ll learn the ropes better on the floor than from the bench.
