Metta World WAR

What is David Stern's job as the commissioner? Being Jewish of course. And by that, I mean making money. How does he make money? Ratings. How does he get ratings (not by good basketball obviously) - by DRAMA! Where do you find drama? Easy, bring back Ron the Bomb in time to face the man he 'unintentionally' KO'ed.

7 games is entirely bullshit. Its way too small of a punishment - especially considering Bomb's past. I'm not sure what kind of message this sends to the rest of the league. Maybe its that giving a concussion to a star player only gets you a two week suspension. In that case, what's to stop teams sending in bruisers to intentionally rough up another team?

Hey Indiana why don't you put Lou Admundson in the game to 'unintentionally' low bridge Derek Rose? Lou is gone for two weeks, but Rose could be out for months (maybe the season).

And here's the thing that really gets me.

People that say the impact of Hardens injury should not influence Bomb's suspension.

This is saying all intentional elbows to the head are a 7 game suspension. No matter the players involved, and no matter the consequences.

IN THAT FUCKING CASE JUST MAKE MIAMI'S WHOLE BENCH ASSASSINS CAUSE THEY AIN'T DOING MUCH ELSE.

An intentional elbow to the head gets you seven games??! Seven games?!

No, it gives you a small breather til you come back in the second round in which you face the man you elbowed. In that case, ratings go through the roof and fat cats get more fucking fatter.

Editorial note: I normally don't like writing on the most popular/current NBA happenings because they're all over the media but I just felt this was necessary. Expect something more my style soon.

Trash Day

Welcome to the worst time of the season. Garbage time.

In any other sport this becomes the most exciting part for teams.
Who will make it into the playoffs?! Every game matters. Fans on the edge of their seats.
Fortunately for us basketball fans we don't need to endeavor such stress and anxiety.

Teams know who is going to be in the playoffs and who isn't. So this is what you got:

Teams at the top that are resting their players.
Teams in the middle who are resting (on the court)
Teams who aren't making it, and are tanking on purpose to get a lottery pick.

Games turn into 48 minute long scrimmages with very little defense/enthusiasm.

I think I watched a Golden State game with a total of 10 field goals at the half.

Could this be a case of the regular season is too long? Possibly. Do players and teams need more of an incentive to win? Imma tell you what though. The real losers of this whole thing are the people that pay to go to the games.

Could you imagine paying $$$ and marquee players are resting on the bench? It would be like going to a Kings - Hornets game.. every night...

God damn you basketball, I don't know how you trick me to watching you, but you always do, and I hate myself for it.

START THE PLAYOFFS ALREADY

Video of the Weak

What's becoming great about Vince Carter is trying to determine which team he has sucked the worst on.

Was it Orlando when he tanked their Championship dreams?
The Suns when he made a shitty team suck worse (Only Carter has this ability..and maybe Eddie House)
Maybe it's Dallas, a championship team that has zero chance of making it to the WCF because of Vinsanity.
Or classic Carter ruining an entire franchise such as the Raptors (and subsequently given them the ugliest jerseys of all time)

Odom

Is a dump.
I've been saying it for years.

That is all

FanDUMB

Here's a line of hate streamed directly at your fucking face.

I'm sick to my god damn stomach about people complaining about 'exciting teams.'

You only like them because they're exciting

What the fuck? Why else would I like them? Because they're slowly winning championships by bank shots and garbage put backs? No, because if I did, I would be a front running piece of shit.

There are three types of fans. Those that became fans due to proximity, excitement, or winning.

(in a girl voice) I like #$@%$$%# because I live in their city.

So if you're born in the south its cool for you to enjoy segregation? If you grew up in New York its okay for you to be a dick your whole life? People from Boston have a free pass to be social assassins?

I like The @#$%$# because my parents exposed me to them...

So if your parents EXPOSED you to bulimia you'd still be throwing up?

Just because your parents are front running cock suckers doesn't mean you need to be

Which brings me to my next point..

Your parents (or whoever started to like this team) did so because the team was exciting. Rather it be exciting because of their winning streaks, rad passing, or dunks it was exciting enough for them to become fans. )

People don't go on YOUTUBE, to watch highlights of the Spurs play the Pistons in the finals. (those teams may have not ever faced each other in the finals, I don't know because I don't give a shit about either team, BECAUSE THEY'RE BORING)

Point is, excitement is what made you a fan of the sport at an early age. As a kid you become a fan of players because they intrigue to watch the game because they're exciting. No one wants to grow up dreaming of grabbing offensive boards. They grow up wanting to smash a putback over some frumpy fuck for a game winner.

Hey dick, I'm older now and I appreciate the finer points of the game. I'm a purest.

That's you lying to yourself.

You liked a team that was exciting. But what happened? That team traded away their talent, or their talent got addicted to drugs and women and now that excitement is gone. So what do you do? You support a team by praising their new strengths... fundamentals.. Which just really means your team is now boring but you don't abandon them, and you're looking for excuses for them to seem watchable.

For those of you that like Winners.. your front running sellout shit fucks.

btwbtw. Don't talk basketball to me if you don't know how to play the game yourself. Which means if you can't hit a jumper I don't want to her your playoff predictions. Eat shit fuckers.
