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.
In all fairness to Peja, it was extremely cold above six feet in that room. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteMy nomination would be Boris Diaw who in the month of December scored double digits just 3 times, had more than 5 rebounds once, had more than 5 assists once, but managed 5 games of 4 turnovers or more. Wouldn't it be funny if one team decided to trade Peja for Diaw?? That would be the poop trade of the year.
