Wagercom.com 's NBA guru AC Titticock. AC will be answering reader e-mail every week or two, so keep e-mailing him with questions, ideas, and/or naked photos of your sisters. Questions can be about the NBA, Major League Baseball, Fantasy sports, or the great Taylor Rain-Janine Lindemuller debate. Just send your questions to ac@wagercom.com
Sorry for the delay in getting to your questions, I am still recovering from the annual Wagercom.com fantasy football draft and editorial meeting which took place last weekend in Vegas. I did learn three important things though: 1. Alcohol is in fact an acceptable substitute for food. 2. Pocket kings don’t beat pocket 5s, even when a third king comes on the flop and 3. Strippers will refund your money if you think their lap dance sucked (and no I am not making any of those up, and yes we are degenerates).
It was a great weekend, and we wanted to thank those of you who showed up, especially our british lady friend who became our first UK groupie. So a big bangers and mash to all of our UK fans.
Now on to your e-mails:
Hey AC, what is the deal with the Warriors hiring Don Nelson? I am a long suffering Warriors fan and am confused by this? Should I like it?
BA, Oaktown
Yes, you should like this move. Don Nelson is a solid coach, certainly better than Mike Montgomery who continued to prove that college coaches just can’t cut it in the NBA (and I have no idea how Doc Rivers didn’t coach in college). The only problem is that Nelson is about 75 year old and has health problems so this may wind up being a two week stint (ok there is one other problem and that is that the Warriors suck, but this is not the time to discuss it).
Interestingly enough, it was a good move by Chris Mullin and I am a bit shocked by that. I can now count all of the good moves Mullin has made on one finger, which is progress. I do think Nelson should be forced to hire Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway as assistants to bring RunTMC back to the Bay Area as I believe that was the last time the Warriors made the playoffs (actually it was 1994 when Mullin was still playing and I am not making that up).
In short, good move, probably won’t make too much of a difference, but a few more moves like that and perhaps we will be able to conclude that Mullin is off the booze.
How did the US lose to Greece? You said we were going to win the gold. You suck donkey dick.

Before I get to your question, let me take the donkey dick out of my mouth. I am shocked by the US’s loss. AC is rarely wrong about things like this and I really don’t know what to say other than the US selection committee screwed up again. How do you consistently build teams without shooters? No really, how does this happen? You know this is the problem but you still stock the roster with a-tha-letes and not shooters. If I were head of the selection committee, and one day I will be, trust me on this one, I will be, I would dust off 48 year old Reggie Miller, exhume Craig Hodges, and throw Larry Bird in wheel chair and park him on the 3-point line. Pair those three up with Shawn Marion to crash the boards and Jason Kidd to distribute the ball, and you’d have a gold medal. It’s really that easy.
In all seriousness, I just don’t get this one. Wade, LeDong, and Dwight Howard should have dominated. Instead they got eaten up by the pick and roll which was executed in the high post by Sofoklis Schortsanitis and I believe George Papadapolis (interesting facts, “Schortsanitis” is an anagram for “croissant shit” and derives from the ancient Greek “shorts” meaning short and “anitis” meaning penis, look it up if you don’t believe me).
I mean I can understand maybe losing to Argentina or Spain, but Greece? Maybe if we lost in a body odor contest or a socratic debate to the Greek I could understand, but basketball? This gives new meaning to the term “Greek Surprise”.
Either way, I apologize if you bet on the US to win it all based on my analysis. I truly have no great explanation. Bob Ryan, the best basketball writer in the country, sums it up best in his column. I just feel violated by all of this. Now let me get back to that donkey dick.
I drafted Domanick Davis in the first round and now he is out for the year. Any advice?
Mikey
LA, CA
Wow, did you not hear about his knee injury before the draft? I mean I know they said he was going to play but until a guy who is coming back from a knee injury actually plays, you should stay away. I would suggest you pick up one of his back-ups if they are still available, if not, you may just be screwed.
By the way, Houston must love passing up on Reggie Bush. That guy can play, and last I checked he has two healthy knees.
Perhaps you should just give up fantasy football this year and take up crocheting.
Toodles,
AC
