Turd Sandwich player of the Month

Mike and I were huge Turd Sandwiches in December/January. Our less-than-stellar analysis goes missing for weeks at a time.  And ultimately, that's not fair our bored at work/class readership.

But even our pathetic blogging efforts have been leaps and bounds more consistent than turd-king Peja Stojakovic and his turdalific display in late December.  Peja has looked like Larry Bird on heroin in his last 7 or 8 games, and has frustrated fantasy owners to the point that he is only 64% owned.  Yeah, a guy who averages 2 threes per game is getting mass dropped.

But why should Stojakovic get the TSPOM award over, say McGrady, Devin Harris, Charlie Villanueva, or Elton Brand (for a second consecutive month)? 


 Well, for one, this picture.  And two:  December, 29, 2009. On that glorious evening, Peja had 4 rebounds in 30 minutes of action...and THATS ALL! Peja scored 0 points on 0-4 shooting.  Of course I had him in my starting lineup that night.  Thanks for showing up Peja.  Nevermind the fact that Villanueva had,  not one but, two ugly zero point games in late December.  I own Peja.  And I will never forgive him for dropping that mammoth sized turd in my team game log.

Peja Stojakovic is your Turd Sandwich Player of the Month for December.
