Akeem Scott Update + Tell me what to obsess over

I suppose I should mention that Akeem Scott, or "Scott Akeem" as one site has it, won again. He wasn't in the starting lineup this time but still produced with 11 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals, and the second highest efficiency rating on the team. His three week tryout with Ventspils looks to be going well and of course all of DeceptivelyQuick is rooting for him.

The thing is, with all my BustaBucketery Akeem Scott is more or less all that DeceptivelyQuick has at the moment. He is probably our favorite, but outside of some quality tweets Akeem is rightly focused mostly on earning a permanent spot with his new team, not entertaining us. That means things have been pretty quiet around here.

DeceptivelyQuick deserves better. A fair amount of people still stop by on a daily basis. And I will undoubtedly return to this space full-time when Bust a Bucket gets fed up and cuts me loose. I would like to keep things alive and kicking until that time.

Tell me, genius reader, what is something that DeceptivelyQuick can obsess over? There are only two requirements:

1) It has to at least sort of be basketball related

2) It can absolutely not be already receiving attention from mainstream United Statesian media

Maybe you want to write here. Maybe you just want to point something out that would work here. I'm not sure. I just know that right now nothing is setting off my DeceptivelyQuickdar and I'm feeling far too lazy to go out and find something on my own. Help. Drop it in the comments, send an e-mail, or just twitter all over me. Whichever makes you feel more loved.

The C Word

Yeah. I'm not writing much these days. Don't worry my loyal readership, I will return with force in a couple weeks. All seven of you will be very pleased. For now just tickle the trickle. I put something new up over at Bust a Bucket.

I dunno, what do YOU want to do?

It is an interesting time of year to operate a non-playoff team blog. By "interesting" of course I mean "not interesting." For this team, the season is over. Even things in Finland have seemingly come to a close for a little while. Ooey-gooey blogger delight stuff like the draft lottery, draft, summer league, and free agency/trades are still a little ways off.

A blogger in such situations does have options. One could rehash the same old crap (we want a pointg--aaaaah I'm stabbing myself in the face!). You could comment on other teams/players (do you still like me after this?). Or you could just go insane for a while. The only thing you can't do is stop the blogging. The blogging must continue.

In the spirit of perseverance in the face of laziness, I present to you one of my all-time youtube favorites:



I realize I may have just chosen the insanity route.
