YAYsports! is on an EXPLOSIVE move

These were the Atlantic Division standings as of day the last.

If you haven’t guessed, this was something we were gonna get into yesterday afternoon, but didn’t. We’ve slyly transported the picture into an all-new post, and that’s the experience you’re having now.

Alas, the Atlantic Division is worse than ever, but after last night’s Nets victory over the Celtics, New Jersey has at least taken sole control of the group.

As they say, that’s all we have to say about that, although you might go read Bill Simmons’ latest for a full breakdown of the sadness that is the Eastern Conference.

Moving on to one other NBA-specific note before we go forward with the YAY-centric notes…

After the uninspired Cavaliers lost to the Knicks at home last night, we’re doing something we haven’t done since LeBron arrived on the scene: we’re voluntarily boycotting the game against the Hawks Friday night.

We refuse to watch Malaise LeBron and his merry band of Whatever Men play down to another team they should slaughter.

LeBron – we love ya, but if you don’t care, we don’t, either. Losing is fine, and we can deal with it. What we can’t deal with is losing because you didn’t try. You guys are making us sick – it might be Mike Brown, but it’s also you, LBJ. You’re the King – act like it.

F’ING TRY – even Damon Jones, of all people, got in your face about (repeatedly) not closing out on Quentin Richardson last night.

Okay, moving on, which is a sick transition. UNGH!

We’re switching server companies, so we no longer get raped on bandwidth costs, and also so we can transfer everything over to WordPress blogging software. (From Movable Type.)

What that means is thus – our content output this month is going to be down – there’s no way around it.

This isn’t really a change from the last three months actually, but between switching over to WP, doing a complete and total redesign of the site (possibly with a different name), finishing up work on WSM?, travelling to see family in various places, some other non-blog professional things that have developed, and our vast charity works, we’re swamped.

Of course, if we’re forced to completely boycott the Cavs altogether, this frees some time up, yes?

Anyway, this starts soon – don’t be surprised if the whole deal looks different one day, and it’ll probably start on a generic design and stay there for several weeks. We don’t think we can even get to the new graphics and such until we’re home with Mom and Dad in mid-December. (Who beat us!)

Thanks for your patience – things will get back to somewhat normal in January – promise.
