Best of the Worst

You should probably jump into the fire and save yourself the grieving Mr Gorilla

The end of the year and there's just so much hate to talk about. This series is the very best of the worst, sort of like dating a girl who's filthy rich...and super ugly.

Allow me to start where it hurts most. The phoenix suns are absolutely terrible. One of the best point guards in the league on the worst team in the west, and possible the league. This is a team that two years ago made a push to the finals. 5 years ago had Joe Johnson, Amare, and Shawn Marion. And now? Robin Lopez, Hakim Warik, and...uhh...Josh Childress?

Lets play some word association.

Steve Nash = 2 time MVP, Assist leader in a season, rotting in the dessert waiting to die.

Please Phoenix trade away Grant Hill and Nash to a team that could use them to make a run. There's no need to keep those two on a team that will go absolutely no where. Nash and Hill have a better chance of getting each other pregnant than making a run to the finals.

In case you don't Nash doesn't deserve to be on this Best of the Worst list... The Suns season thus far as been this: Buzzer beater loss to the Hornets, 30 pt demolishing by the 76ers, recently acquired Michael Redd...

RIP Nash.

Whoever thought the 76ers had a chance in those finals? Cause AI? Practice?
They never had a shot. I don't think any team in the East had a shot from 1999 to 2008.

This is a championship game and this shit happens? No wonder the public doesn't miss the NBA.

Novembder something posdacast s suckasss

Lockout, driving long distances, and... too much urine in the toilet?!

College > NBA

North Carolina plays Michigan state on a Aircraft Carrier.

How awesome is that. That's another reason why College is better than the NBA. Do you think those pussies in the NBA would play on a carrier? Easy answer: NO. They would want insurance because they're scared to fall in the ocean, and as we all know, black people can't swim/afraid of salt water.

If there's one thing good about the lockout, maybe it's that more people will watch the NCAA.

HATE UP SUCKAS

Update of Dislike

Well since it's taking me forever to get the next podcast up I thought I would just write a small update.

It'll be okay... not it wont..

Kobe being offered 1-2 million for ONE game in Italy.
That's ridiculous. He's going to take that contract back to the US and tell Jerry Buss that he deserves that money. Actually that would be good because that would send the Lakers bankrupt, or would it... STUPID ITALIANS

First two weeks canceled
Oh well. Not like those players need the money to pay off the hundreds of thousands of dollars toward child support and alimony. But what about all the small people that need the NBA for work, such as myself. How much of the same shit can I keep writing about til the new season starts back up?!! Stop being so selfish NBA, I NEED NEW MATERIAL.

Will the NBA ever rebound?
That's one thing I've been thinking about lately. I'm not so sure the NBA is as good a product as Stern says it is. Ya last season was great, because of Bron moving to Miami. But that doesn't change the fact that are only a few real compelling teams.
How many times do we want to see Heat vs Lakers? Spurs are done, Celtics are done. I guess the Knicks and the Thunder will be fun to watch in the near future. But what about the other 26 teams? Who's going to pay money to watch the Twolves vs The 76ers? The NBA will be losing a lot of fans during this lockout. While a ton of us are trying to find work and make it work, this 'people' are trying to split a giant piece of money pie.

The NBA is far more broken then money sharing. Its a bad product, and at the end of the day bad products don't sell.

A very tired podcast of NOT missing the NBA, my podcast sucking balls and...my car being stolen??

Video of the Weak

Man oh MAN!!!

I was thissss close to not doing a Video of the Weak this week.

Until I saw this great video. This is probably my favorite so far of the group.

It has EVERYTHING! Antoine Walker not in bankruptcy? But winning a championship for the Celtics in '08 with a 4 pointer?!1 This is exactly what the NBA needs.

And what a terrific job done by the announcers in this vid. I also liked Walker's chicken dance after he hit the game winner.

Duncan looks like DUNCAN!

9-26 Podcast

One vote this week, Bibby sux, and... tracking porn sites?

Video of the Weak

I went back and forth with this being weak or awesome. Initially it was weak, then I read this:

ron artest is a reallll nigga.........................
­....he gave away his ring doing music for people that are not seen ...real ass nigga ....he dont have to do these things he do from the heart ............shout out my nigga ronnie ........and plzzz plzzz dont sell out like most superstars

Ron's fans don't like violence against women, or punctuation.  But after listening to the song in its entirety, I came to the conclusion it was weak. Shoulda stuck with my gut

9-19 PODCAST

Movies that suck, The biggest hater, and .... hatin on bums in Pasadena?

Video of the Weak

This is a change of pace. And some what boring (F you), but this has to be one of the WORST highlights I've ever seen. Besides the block on Shaw its just a bunch of two handed dunks and left handed lay ups.

This should have been a highlight for Stockton. OStertag GOOD RIDDANCE

Labor Day Podcast

HOly goodnesss.
This podcast almost took me 2 hours because of sound complications.
I'm not even sure if the whole thing turned out okay. If there were any problems I hope someone brings it to my attention.

More fantasy talk? Typhoons? and... Sound Bytes!?

****Update****

One listener is having problems listening. I was able to get it working. Make sure you click the Title "Labor Day Podcast" it should take you to the page where you can HATE.

The intro is also messed up due a soundbyte. My bad. I'll work hard for next weekend.

If you have any more problems let me knowwww

Video of the Weak

This video has everything you want. The last of Lakers announcer Joel Meyers. "Got the contact." Kobe NOT getting away with a foul-since we know all superstars get away with a ton of shit.

Lets think of some good one-liners for this clip.
"That wasn't a foul, it was all ball"
"Foul play"
"Not the first time Kobe has touch genitalia while married"
"Maybe it could help Iguodalas shot"
"Ball doesn't lie"

Add some more if you got some!

August 29th PODCASTT HATERS!

In this weeks podcast I talk about Javaris Crittenton, Shaq retiring (Celtic fans rejoice) and ... the dream act?

Video of the Weak

OHH what a Doozy we have here. He goes by the name 'Fish' because he flops all over the placeeee!



Back in the days of him playing(Lying) for the Jazz, he wasn't used to playing on less-then-championship-squads. But thats not the reason for this miss. Ya see, D Fish isn't the type of player to FINISH the play, he's the kind of player that's looking to create contact and botch the play in hopes of ft's.

This is a perfect example of him looking at the defender, thinking he was gana get hit, and because of this he lost his concentration.

Man o' man Fish, I hope you're better at your duties as the Prez of the Player's Association then you are at lay-ups.

AUGUST 21 NBHATE PODCAST

Contraction, Monta Ellis is retarded, and...HP Tablets?

Video of the Weak

Yes.

This is exactly what I've been talking (or listening about). Bring Walton BACK! I feel kind of dumb calling this a video of the 'weak' when it should be called, video of the 'awesome'. But, let us consider it weak due to the fact Bill is no longer behind the mic.



There are so many great quotes here.

"What Boris Diaw has done to this franchise, he's changed everything."

"201 days ago today..."

"In E flat"

"Shuffle..sh.sh.. escorted in the romantic period."

8-15 Podcast

Ya'll a bunch of haters.
Please enjoy the sounds of hate. (click the title of post for link)

Video of the Weak

More like, "Video of the Awesome." This is one of the best clips out there.
Why is it so awesome?

Well for one it shows a pro athlete that doesn't take himself too seriously. Its frustrating to hear interviews about being the 'best ever,' or downgrading practice, or simply not talking to the press (which is okay sometimes too).

At first I thought the Bucks were down 30 pts in the fourth. Maybe everyone was frustrated and giving up. But no! Its a 6 point game in the 2nd.

As great it is to see Bogut high five his imaginary friends, its also kind of a dick move by his teammates. What the shit was Charlie Villanueavvavaaa doing? Maybe people with no body hair hate Australians? I dunno..

FIRST EVER PODCAST!

Yes I have made a podcast (just a huge ass mp3). All you have to do is click the title of this posting (click the the words "FIRST EVER PODCAST"). It'll take you to a page you can download the link, or just listen to it.  Download it, put it on your Ipod, Rio, Winamp, whatever you listen to mp3's through.

Obviously this episode is pretty crap, I had to play around with a lot of the volumes etc, the intro song is probably wayyy to loud, I will tone that down in the future. Not enough yelling for my liking, toned down the hate too. But don't worry. Improvements will be made, and there will be more in the future!

Season Grades: LA Lakers

F

Championship or bust. This season = BUST. Super BUST. Swept BUST. Bush league, decking dinky guards, taking off jersey, BUST.

With dreams of three-peats dancing in Laker-Land, the purple and gold took a giant dump all season long. The Lakers getting blown out against teams such as the Grizzlies, and the Heat, folks in LA started to panic, but don't worry Derek Fisher, and Kobe have your back.

Don't worry... I got yo back

Remember all those interviews through out the year, where the Lakers were quoted saying they know when to "hit the switch"? It's a long season. Champions know when its time to take over and 'hit the switch'. And they seemed to do so against the Pacers when they won 122-99 (that was sarcasm).

The Lakers lied all season long, then were exposed during the post season. Pau Gasol became a softy once again, and wrongly blamed for all the Laker problems. The Bench disappeared and Bynum became a punk....and trade bait some how...

The Lakers gave us another terrible Christmas Day game, swore they would turn it on when it counted, blamed the guy who brought them two championships, and now swear they'll get Dwight Howard, when in reality they need a guard who won't get beat off the dribble every time.

Its easy to be disappointed when you're accustomed to winning championships, and you fail. But it was the way the Lakers failed this year that gave them their F. Empty promises, excuses, punk/cheap plays, getting swept out of the playoffs in the most embarrassing game the Lakers have played since game 7 against the Suns in 2007.

LOCK OUT

Why did it take this long to write about the lockout?
Because I wanted to write this the same day as Kevin James' movie ZOOKEEPER comes out.

I'm sorry

Can you believe this?!
Countless commercials and advertisements through the NBA have a culminated into this moment of long awaited moment of mediocrity.

When I saw that ZOOKEEPER was coming out this Friday I initially thought it was coming out on DVD. Didn't they advertise this while the Lakers were being swept? How many times can a talking gorilla be funny? Anyway the lockout...

GOOD!!

I love basketball, I do. But lets face the fact, Basketball is a distant third place behind MLB. There are a lot of places throughout the country that would rather watch college football then watch the NBA. There are a lot of reasons why the NBA sucks, and money is part of it.

Every league has high paid athletes, but the NBA is known for having TERRIBLE contracts (Arenas, Redd, Walton, Baron Davis, The-guy-traded-from-Orlando-to-Charlotte-whose-name-i-forgot-cause-hes-terrible). Bad management and contracts aside, no one wants to watch prima donnas making ridiculous amounts of money play a lackluster regular season basketball, complain with the refs more then any other sport (tie with soccer), flop on the floor (slightly behind soccer). I will bring up the Christmas day game with the Heat and Lakers... again.

The most watched regular season game that no one should care about, because the players don't care. Phil and Kobe telling the media, "Playing on Christmas sucks." IT SUCKS FOR THE FANS, BECAUSE ATHLETES DON'T CARE. Think they care? Didn't seem like it when the Lakers were blown out by the 3rd. Why should they? Would you? Would you care if you were making 8 million a year to ride the bench the entire game? Would you care if you made 20 mil a year? Once the game is out of reach, I would probably start dreaming of my yacht and beach front home. But I'm getting slightly off topic.

Of course, who are the real losers? Us, me, you, yo mama.
I admit, I am a growing MLB fan, a big part of the reason why, is because I can afford going to multiple games in a season. Tickets to watch boring regular season (besides watching Grififn and the HEAT) are silly. Why should a consumer pay $50 for border-line bad seats, to feed bad contracts, for athletes who don't seem to care.

Hey dude, $50 isn't that bad...get a job.

Its not bad for one person, but what if you want to take your family to the game, that's $200 just on tickets, what about those $5 sodas and $10 burgers and pizzas. Gas to the game... You're spending over $300.

This is a lesson in humility. The NBA was becoming out of control. People who were making millions shouldn't be. Other professionals in this world who SHOULD be making more money (Doctors, humanitarians, teachers) are not.

Hey man, its capitalism, its supply and demand. People pay for it, why shouldn't they make the money?

Well, its caught up to them, and now 22 teams in the league are losing money each year. Millions lost. Fat fucking Cat owners losing money. Fucking GOOD.

Season Grades: NO Hornets

F

The first team to be bought by the NBA. No one goes to the games, and no one cares about the Hornets.
Remember when David West was an All-Star and CP3 was a threat to any team in the playoffs? That seems like decades ago.

Wrong

Now it is almost certain the team will be dismantled by CP3 going to the New York, West testing the 'free agent water,' and the NBA on the verge of giving New Orleans its second natural disaster in 10 years.

This season was overshadowed by the fact CP3 wanted out in the beginning of the year, because he thought the Hornets were not "dedicated to winning." They convince him to stay with the team, West gets hurt and the team goes belly up.

Hey man, they made a great first round series against the defending champs.

Wrong. They did what any other team would have done against the Lakers. Did you see what happened when LA played a good team? Sweep (including bush league plays by Metta World Peace, and Bynum).

This could be the beginning of the end of the Hornets.

Damn, what would Grandma-ma have to say about this?

Season Grades: PHX Suns

F

I've been thinking about this for a long time. Lets go back to last year.

Nash and Richardson lead the Suns to the conference finals against the Lakers, and provide the public with the only entertaining match up of the entire playoffs.

Fast Forward to this year.

Nash declares in the beginning of the season they, "Probably won't make the playoffs."

The Suns trade their top scorer (J Richardson) for The Polish Layup, Peitrus (sp), and Half Amazing-Half Washed up.

The Suns fall flat on their faces and don't make the playoffs, behind Robin Lopez's weak inside play. I'll admit it, I miss Amundson.

The Suns spent more time making commercials this year then winning games.
Nash appears on a Gay Rights commercial in New York. He also appears in a Vitamin Water commercial. Grant Hill is creating awareness about whopping cough. Jared Dudley and G.Hill cover Kobe's homophobic ass with a gay awareness commercial.

As far as I can tell, The Suns did nothing right this season. In fact, they took steps backwards.

The big question now is, where is Steve Nash going to go?
It would be wrong for the Suns to keep him Steve there and make him rot in the Valley. I say let him go out with a title contender. He deserves it more then anyone else in the league.

Its obvious ownership of the Suns don't care about winning anymore. That was obvious when they let Marion go, or Amare go, or Joe Johnson go, or Rondo go, or signing Vinsanity.

LET NASH LEAVE!

What We've Learned

The postseason is over and here is what we've learned:

The Heat have lost.

Not once in the past 2 weeks did ANYONE give credit to the Mavericks for winning a game. It was constant criticism of the Miami Heat.

"Heat can't close out games"
"Lebron is choking in the 4th"
"The Heat gave this game away"

The fucking mainstream media covering their fat asses. What do I mean?
Well if Jon Barry's dumb ass predicts the Heat (the superior team) to win. Then every game is decided by the Heat. Jon Barry predicted the superior team to win, they just couldn't do it...see what I'm saying? Experts don't pick the wrong team, the right team just didn't win...

The Mavs got lucky!!! The Heat fell apart! Its the Heats fault!

That's horse shit! There' no such thing as being lucky in sports. Take the term "lucky punch" for example. There's no such thing as a lucky punch, because the fighter obviously meant to throw leather. It wasn't as if the opponent fell over his own two feet and got knocked unconscious.

What I'm saying is that the Heat had all 5 players on the court. The Mavericks were able to get stops and the Heat were not. The Mavs hit big shots and the Heat didn't. I don't see anything lucky about that. All I see is a team that's been together for more then 1 year, better coaching, and more hustle than the Heat.

What else have we learned?

That America would rather see a team Built of an MVP, four All-Stars,a wife-beater, a player with gun issues (including a man being shot in the leg at his house), a cocky sixth man who flies around the court with a Larry O'brien trophy tattooed on his bicep, rebuilt many times over with oodles of money by an obnoxious owner...beat the Miami Heat.

We have learned the public would rather watch a team lose, instead of win. We're obsessed with watching greatness fail. Just like we did back when Dallas lost in 06, and when Dirk lost in the first round against Golden State. Its as if we would rather root against a team, rather than in favor for the other.

Most of all...we have learned America loves to HATE.

Video of the Weak

When he's not torching the Lakers, he makes a great clothes hanger.

Sad Sap Sh*t

I'm so sick and tired of hearing people say, "Man I'd like to see Kidd, Dirk, Terry, Peja win a ring."

Do you feel sorry for me? xoxo

No you don't. Stop lying to yourself. The real response should be, "I really don't want LBJ, Wade, and Bosh to win a single championship EVER. In fact, I don't want them to win a single game next season. In fact, I don't want there to be a next season, and during their vacation I hope they all get injured."

Lets be honest, you don't like the Mav's. You didn't think Dirk deserved the MVP, you hate Mark Cuban, and you've never been to Texas (not even for a layover flight). You just can't stand the Heat.

How do I know this?

Because no one ever said, "Man, I really hope the Jazz win. I'd like to see Stockton and Malone finally get that ring.
"Man, I really hope the Sonics win, I'd like to see Payton, Kemp, Schrempf get that ring."
"Man, I really hope the Kings beat the Lakers this year."
"Man, I really hope the the Pacers finally get by the Bulls, and Reggie gets his ring."
"I hope Ewing gets his deserved ring"
"I hope Allen Iverson beats the Lakers to get his ring."

Do you feel sorry for me too? Snifffff

No one EVER said that shit, because fans were obsessed with watching Jordan win, and Shaq dominating. No one felt sorry for the opposing players. We were intrigued by seeing how long the Bulls could go. How many championships Shaq could give Rick Fox. But its not the same for the Heat.

The massive hate for the Heat is spilling over into love for any other team they play against!!

Heat vs 76ers
"Ya know what, I've always been a big fan of Elton Brand, he's a hard worker and a double-double every night"

Heat vs Bulls
"D-Rose is the true MVP, I love their defense. Plus I was always a front-running bandwagon fan when Jordan was on the team."

Heat vs Celtics
"I don't care about this series."

If you're going to hate a team, so be it. But don't make excuses of why you want them to lose. Plus, how do you think Dirk and all of them feel knowing you only like them now against the Heat. When, during the regular season we know you were saying, "I hate the Mav's. Dirk is overrated, Terry is dumb, Peja chokes, Kidd can't shoot, I hate Stevenson's neck tattoo...THEIR OLD AND SLOW."


If you're going to hate, at least do it right. Give me a God damn break.

Jobless

Ever since Shaq announced his retirement it got me thinking... who will not have a job next year.

Mike Bibby

After the Miami Heat win the championship this year there's no guarantee Bibby will be back. The Heat signed Bibby because of his shot making, and he can't HIT.JACK.SHIT. He can't defend - He's probably just ONE step faster then Derek Fisher (without the ability to flop). Can't pass. Doesn't do dirty, doesn't five on the floor, get rebounds etc. Bibby will be happy enough to get that ring and will retire. Or the Heat won't pick up his contract.


Derek Fisher

Kg is probably telling him to quit..look at those shorts!

If you ask most (non-delusional) Laker fans, they'll tell you the Lakers don't need Dwight Howard...they need a point guard. Fish-Flop is slow, can't find his jumper, can't defend, couldn't hold his "leadership" qualities together when Dallas swept them. The only redeeming quality of Fish is he's Kobe's only friend on the team. Throw him away and Kobe may go apeshit (which would be kinda cool to watch).


Corey Brewer

I don't know what to say about this guy really. He blew out the candle on a cupcake? I know Dallas is accustomed to picking up other team's garbage and building a what would have been a super team 7 years ago, but I think Brewer is where they draw the line. One would think Brewer would be getting more PT after Butler went down.. but he hasn't. And with JJ Barea playing better, there's less room on the bench. Have fun dunking in Germany Corey.


Rudy Fernandez

I ama a good I apromise!

Wishful thinking really. I can't stand this guy. Remember when this guy wanted in the Dunk Contest? Played a guitar and sang to get in? This isn't Europe God Damnit. You can't just play guitar and sing a goofy accent and get what ever you want. Then he called out the team and said he wanted more PT or money or trade. And for some reason the Blazers kept his bum ass. At one time he was a big lift off the bench, and now he cools off the team with terrible 3-point shooting and bad Euro defense. Go back to Spain!


Baron Davis

A shell of a man. The poor guy fell victim to the Clipper curse. Then got sent to the second worst city in America. the Cavs have the #1 and #4 pick. They will probably pick up Kemba Walker (who is overrated, and a chump) but then there will be no need for Baron and his ridiculous contract. At least now he'll have an excuse to be out of shape. Maybe he'll get heckled by his apartment neighbor...just as long as that apartment isn't in LA.


Vince CARTERRRR

THIS HAS TO BE IT. No more! Throw in the towel, wave the white flag, call uncle. Do whatever needs to be done. Vinsanity needs to GO! Half-man half-washed up. A black hole. A quitter. He could be the single reason why Toronto is still in the shitter. He has done absolutely nothing in Phoenix, I pray to God the Suns don't keep him. Maybe he could be the Gatorade guy who hands the players their drink over their shoulder. Be the kid who wipes up the sweat of other players that are SWEATING from actually playing hard! God damnit!

Finals

Heat - Mavs

Heat in 6

Video of the Weak

Good luck Lake Show.

I give him two seasons before Kobe runs his ass out of LA.

Miss From A Rose

The Bulls couldn't get it done, surprised? You shouldn't be.

Derek Rose can only carry the team on his back for so long. We saw it against the Pacers and Hawks, as soon as Rose struggles the rest of the team goes down in flames.

The Bulls have no one else to blame but themselves. They were up in the 4th (again), got the ball to their MVP (after a generous charge call) for a would-be-game-winner, that came up a didn't-hit-the-rim-or-backboard-loser.

Boozer and the rest of the Jazz rejects couldn't get any buckets to help Rose, which includes Korver looking completely lost on the court - maybe he still hasn't recovered from being bulldozed by Bron. Rose knew he had to jack up 27 shots.

8-27 fga and 7 TO's?

Is it unfair Rose doesn't receive criticism?

Kobe, LeBRON, Dirk, Nash would be criticized. 8-27 gets Kobe Bryant criticized for not being a team player. That get him called a ball hog instead of a facilitator. I can assure you if LeBRON were to go 8-27 with 7 turnovers the public would be in a frenzy throwing every word and book at him.

My favorite part of last nights game? Rose getting rejected by Wade, Lebron dives on the floor, Haslem on the floor, and Miller coming away with it. Beautiful basketball.
If that happened for your team, you'd love it. But it happened for the heat, so you fucking HATE it.

NB...GAY??

Joakim Noah shouts a Gay Slur




First it was KOBE shouting a slur at a referee that draws the attention of the league and the LGBT community.

The NBA takes action and creates a commercial using one of the NBA's most outstanding humanitarians and collectors of fine African American Art, Grant Hill to clean up Kobe's mess. Hill appears in a commercial with fellow Sun player Jared Dudley explaining not to use the term 'gay' to mean dumb or stupid.

COINCIDENTALLY, the Suns CEO comes out of the closet the same week as the commercial airs, attempting to further spoil the taboo of gays in pro sports.  All too convenient for Stern?

But all the hard work and convenient timing has been erased by Joakim Noah.
After being taken out of the game in the first quarter due to foul trouble, Noah turns to a fan yells what seemed to be "F**king F@g**t" (you know what I'm trying to say).

Oh how I love the NBA. Trying to clean up its act since the Malace at the Palace, drug/gun charges, rape cases, all with ridiculous "NBA Cares" Ads. Give me a fucking break. You can try all you want Stern, but a nice frame won't save this terrible painting.

Tempers will always get the best of athletes in a competitive game.

If the NBA really wanted to start cleaning itself up, it should start with media coverage. Don't give me a close up the guy who just got taken out of the game due to foul trouble, or a confrontation. You're just asking for it.

Thank you Joakim Noah for spoiling Sterns plans,on saving gay-face. Oh... and thanks for having more turn overs than points too.

*** Update ****

Another Sun comes out to help the gay community and this time its STEVE NASH.

See it for yourself



The NBA sure does care...are they going to start shooting commercials for online poker and gun control?

What Bake Griffin is Doing in the Off Season

Tiger JUMP!

Ya thanks Tim..

I love when he elbows that dudes head off...maybe he could do that to Lamar Odom next season...oh wait WHAT NEXT SEASON!?

Playoffs Part III - From Chicago

Sorry for the Delay but I was in Chicago for game one of the Eastern Conference Finals.
... Actually I was there to see Wrigley for the first time, and it was awesome.

As far as basketball related all I got was a picture of the outside of United Arena with Jordan, then reduced to watch the game inside a Pizza Joint named Piece.

Don't believe me?

You can't tell but, its windy

 

 

I spent toughly 3 dollars and 20 minutes riding a bus from Wicker Park to the Arena just to take a picture of the statue.  Every basketball player needs to take a picture with the statue. Its a right a passage, the emergence of a man from child.

I walked up to the ticket window and asked the guy what tickets were for sale.
"Ehh the only teekets we have left fer sale, are da fo hundred and fifty dahlla ones"
Holy fucking shit.

Took that bus back to Wicker Park and watched the game in the Pizza shop. And it was pretty rad. When Gibson dunked on Wade the place exploded. Then exploded again during the replay. Pizza wasn't too bad either.

Without further adieu...

Playoffs Part III

Mavs - Thunder
Westbrook and Durant against Dirk and company. Youth against the German Shepard. Run-n-gun against the Blitzkrieg. This is it for the Thunder. Dallas showed how deep they were against the Lakers and Thunder don't stand a chance. Did you see game 1? Dirk only missed 3 shots the entire game. 24-24 ft's and 12-15 shooting. But this isn't a blog about Stats, its about HATE.
I HATE THE THUNDER. Yes they're young and exciting, Durant is a baller and so is Westbrook. Harden's beard is fiesty, so naturally people think I'm a fan. And in most cases I would be. But, they this should all be happening in the house that Detlef Shrempf built. And instead its happening in the Oklahoma.
While I was in Dallas for my layover flight, I saw the hottest blonde haired girl walking around the terminal wearing a bright blue OKC shirt. "Wow" I thought "That has to be the hottest girl in Oklahoma, or the hottest OKC fan, or maybe the only fan I've ever seen..."
I had never seen anyone wear any OKC merchandise before. Probably because I live in CA and everyone here wears their Eddie Jones jersey around town. I was stunned, it was my first public OKC fan. OKC does have the best fans in the league but Seattles was great too! The Key Arena was deafening. Shawn Kemp would catch a lob from Payton and roof would explode. I've already written about all of this...
I'm picking Dallas to win in 5 because the Thunder should still be Sonics, and they should still be in Seattle, and they should still have Sasquatch running around...and Because Dirk is filthy nasty good.
America will discover - JJ Barea. A little man that is probably most famous for dating the 2006 Miss Universe, is now getting recognition on the court.
Harden -Can shoo the three well, and brings great energy that I'm certain stems from the beard. Sefolosha is a punk bitch.

Heat - Bulls
Heat in 6

Howard to Lakers?

Not so Fast

The season isn't even over yet, and already people are speculating Dwight Howard moving to the Lakers for Andrey Bynum, and Odom.

Allow me to shed some HATE on the situation.

The Dummy Comes With Me

Howard to the Lakers

First of all
Howard's contract isn't up until the end of next season. Odom and Bynum have team options in 2012, and go through 2013.

BUT with that being said...

It appears that Howard's days in Orlando are done after being knocked out first round. Therefore, the Magic would look to move him before his contract expires so they get something in return.
For example:
-The Suns allowed Stoudemires contract to expire, and the Knicks got him. The Suns got nothing. (Yes I'm calling Childress, and Hakim Warik nothing)
-The Nuggets knew Carmelo wanted out, and they traded him before his contract expired. They got decent players in return and actually made the playoffs. The Suns did not.

So who gets dealt in the Orlando - LA situation?
Laker fans want Odom and Bynum to go, and get Howard in return.

A few issues with this are:
Bynum is injury prone, and Odom is on the downside of his career. Basically there isn't a lot of upside for the Magic here, besides getting SOMETHING for Howard. Some say offer Artest - Laker fans hated Artest about a 7/8 of the season. I doubt anyone wants him.
Plus, Odom and Bynum basically embarrassed everyone game 4 against the Mavs. I'm sure the Magic would love to have those two...

Kobe is great, but he' slowing. He can't even practice with his team because he's so banged up. If Howard came to the Lakers he'd be playing with a 17 and 1 Kobe. This doesn't sound enticing either. Not compared to playing with Darin Williams, or Cp3. 

Also, Howard doesn't make the max contract. He makes around 17 million a year, about one million more then Bynum.  If you think the two are equals on the court, you're mentally challenged. Which makes me think Howard may play this thing out to become a free agent. Maybe dick the Magic around so that the contract expires, then he finds his 20 million some where around the league. You know he wants it. Maybe the Lakers could throw him that money at the end of 2012. But that's a lot of "ifs".
** The new Collective Bargaining Agreement could cancel this all out

This wouldn't even fix the Lakers 'problem'. The Lakers problem right now is speed and youth. The bench that was productive earlier in the season basically disappeared near the end. The Lakers need more then one person that can dunk the basketball. Maybe trading Bynum/Odom for perimeter shooting and youth would be better then Howard.

AND the Lakers just lost Phil Jackson. The Last time the Lakers had a different coach they ran him out of the building (remember Tomjanovich?)

Basically what the Laker fans are holding on to is that Howard was caught somewhere saying he would like to go the Lakers. But there's a lot stacked against them. If it came down to nice weather, or winning, I think Howard chooses winning.

Here's another thing I've stumbled upon.
If the Magic try to deal Howard next season, they're going to try to package him with Gilbert Arenas' $20 million contract. Which is roughly 40 mil of open space. And there's few teams that could afford that...

Howard to the Nets

Aw Dwight would fit PERFECTLLYYY

A team that does have a ton of space during next season are the NETs.

Deron Williams makes 17 mil, and behind him is Travis Outlaw with 7 mil. The Nets have a dominate big man in Lopez, so it would be the twin tower show with a lot of cash. Two big man can't work? Pau and Bynum? Perkins and Garnett? Duncan and Robinson?

This meets a few of Howard's demands, he gets a ton of money, he gets to play on a young team with a good (notice I didn't say great) point guard, and the Nets are moving to Brooklyn where Howard will get his "big market" location.

The Nets Russian owner, Prokhorov is determined to win, and he has the wallet to do so. And maybe Jay-Z entices Howard. The Nets are also likely to get a lottery pick next year, and again the Nets have money to sign other good surrounding players. This team is very young, and could be very good for years to come.

There is a good chance Howard ends up here.

Howard to the Knicks

Now, if the Lakers think they can trade a punk ass Bynum and Odom for Howard, then an Amar'e Stoudemire for Howard isn't very unlikely either.

Orlando already has a good point guard in Nelson, and good three point shooters. It would also be like Phoenix but with Jameer instead of Nash. The Magic would take on a great PF in his prime, and not an injury prone Bynum, or a Kardashian.

The Knicks will get Howard and might have enough left over to sign CP3. That's because Billup's contract ends the same time as Cp3's. Cp3 would have to take around a 2 million dollar pay cut, but he'd be on a great team, and would make the money up with endorsements (Not including his deodorant commercials). This would mean Melo, Howard, and CP3 on the same team, and automatic title contenders. This could be annulled if the Magic want to deal Arenas with Howard. But the Knicks would still have a decent chance of getting Howard, much more then LA.

Back to LA (Since there where most think hes going)

The biggest problem with LA are the parts. Why would Orlando take Bynum, and Odom when they could have Amar'e? Why would Howard play with an aging Kobe and Pau when he could play with Deron Williams, or Melo, or CP3?

It makes contractual sense! The numbers fit!

That's true.. but then Milwaukee could pick up Howard because Redd's contract finally expired.
Sacramento's Dalembert's contract finally expired too..and they're already 23 million BELOW the salary cap for next year. He could come to Sacramento and be the MAN.

The CBA could extinguish all this talk. Or it could accelerate it. Players, agents, and teams could want all of this to happen before the 7-800 million dollar pay cut, and lock out next season. In fact, this is the reason why its probably going to be a shit show.

I realize I didn't do much hating during this, so let me end on this note.
I hope the Lakers do get Howard. I hope he becomes the team leader. I hope the Lakers get an 18 year Italian black kid from Philly. I hope that kid throws his teammates under the bus, takes too many shots, causes coaches to quit, and sexually assaults a girl in Denver. Howard ends up leaving, and the Lakers playoff chances are crushed for years.

But that's crazy... that would never happen...

Pau's to Blame

What utter Bullshit
Looks like all the unemployed in LA won't be getting their championship parade this year..

The Lakers have been swept against the Mavs and all the spoiled Laker fans are pointing the finger at Pau Gasol.

I love the Lakers...making me money..

They're blaming the guy who brought them 3 consecutive finals appearances. Pau should've been the finals MVP last year. Kobe shoots 6-24 in the deciding game 7 and he gets the MVP? Give me a fucking break.

How bout Kobe can't get his team to the playoffs, then he can't get to the second round, The Suns knock them out every year. Kwame Brown gets boo'd off the court. Then the Grizzlies gift Pau Gasol. Lakers are contenders, then Champions.

How bout all you Laker fans stop regurgitating everything you fucking hear on ESPN and talk radio. Watch the game yourself and realize the Lakers look old, tired, the bench isn't doing shit, Fisher would miss the ocean if standing on the shore, Odom is looking overrated...and heartless/gutless


All season the Lakers have looked tired and bored. They claimed there was a "switch". They found it after the All-Star game (until the Heat smashed them, and made them look old) And the Lakers have not found the Switch again. And they got swept because of it.

What do the Lakers do now? They might be able to make a small run with the same line up, but they'll keep losing in the playoffs to more athletic teams. Partially because the playoffs are a different game then the regular season. More physical teams prevail in the playoffs. The games are tougher,  and faster. The Fisher flops may work in the regular season, but they wont in the post-season.

Do the Lakers need younger players? Get rid of Luke, Fisher, Barnes, Blake, and Bynum? Try to get some speed so they don't burned by every speedy point guard in the game? What about coaching? Maybe Kobe should be both coach and player at this point.

Here are some of my favorite texts from Laker fans during Game 4:

"Bynum for Howard"
"Fisher cannot come to double anyone. He can't even cover his own guy"
"But its Peja..he doesn't move."
"Glass half full: We have won 2 years in a row..
Glass half empty: Total teardown and Lakers arnt relevant for years. reality?"

"Good night"

Anyway don't blame Pau Gasol. He did more for this team in the last 3 years then anyone else has. The Lakers have a lot more issues. Its easy to point the blame at one gentleman. Especially one gentleman that is more well-spoken the anyone else on the team (with English being his second language).

**Update**

Bynum and Odom are punk bitches.
"One of the most bush-league things I've ever seen" Psahahaha. Surprised? You shouldn't be. He did the same thing against Michael Beasley earlier in the year.
The score is 100 -68 and you check the smallest guy on the court? Real classy Laker fans.
Embarrassing.

Fun..da..mentals??..

The biggest surprise of the playoffs is The Grizzlies. 

They beat the Spurs?!! How did they do that?!

The Grizz are winning with a dominating superstar? Wait.. who do they give the ball to?

You mean, they can't just dump it down to Garnett? Or pass it to Kobe or Lebron? They don't have CP3 to make all the plays? 

HOW ARE THEY WINNING?

Passing the ball? Jump shots? Boxing out? Hustle? Fundamentals? No... That can't be right..NBA teams don't win like that... do they?

I'm so confused..

Playoffs: Part II

First round has come and gone, and I hate to admit it, but it was pretty..pretttyyy. pretty good. Now for the second round.

It means: "Bulls lose second round"**

Bulls - Hawks
I'm going to stand by my original prediction: Bulls out second round. I predict this for a few reasons.
One: To piss off Charles
Two: To piss off Amit
My boy Joe Johnson will show that hes worth 75% of that contract. Josh Smith will prove hes more then just a dunker. Boozer will prove he does not like the post season, and Derek Rose's back might break trying to carry this overrated team.
Hawks in 7
America will notice: Jeff Teague, I actually like this more then Heinrich playing because hes faster and can play (better) defense on DRose then the Kirk. Boozer will make Chicago wish they saved their money.

Grizzlies - Thunder
Normally this match up would be the most exciting in the second round. But instead you got the the Heat and Celtics, The Mav's beating the Lakers, and the Hawks winning at home. I like Z-bo, grabbing Z-bounds, dropping Z-bombs, but I think this is it for the Grizz. This is when the Perkins trade for the Thunder really shows its value.
Thunder in 6
America will notice: Zach Randolph. A once Clipper is now the best low post presence in the playoffs. Harden. Beard.

Heat - Celtics
Heat in 5

Mavs - Lakers
This really hard. You have one team that's infamous for choking in the playoffs, and another that's infamous for not wanting to play hard. "The Switch" vs "The Choke". Both teams have slow point guards (though Kidd is a hall-of-famer and Fisher is not), both seem to be struggling offensively, Dallas sucks on the road, and the Lakers are sucking in the clutch. The biggest difference of this series will be The Lakers size (again). They will get more offensive rebounds and second chance points. So a lot of this is up to Tyson Chandler, Dirk, Pau, Bynum. Damnit, I'm talking in circles. YA KNOW WHAT. I'm said the Lakers would fall in to the three seed, they didn't...but they almost did, and should have if it weren't for a god damn terrible Sacramento King's team. This Laker team has annoyed me all season with the Christmas Day game, and the "switch". Dallas wins.
Dallas will win the series and it will send the Lakers into a downward spiral. Kobe will go off on his teammates, claiming he needs more help, and can't do it all. Claiming that his big men are soft, and need to be more physical to win. He will bad talk Bynum, will set up a huge off-season transaction of Dwight Howard... Pau, Kobe, Dwight Howard?... maybe the Lakers should win..
Mavs in 6
America will notice: Game faces. Dirks tongue sticking out the side of his mouth vs Kobe's under bite scowl thing..

** I kind of regret using that picture..

Most Hated Center

Yes it was a tie (again) between Perkins and Bynum. Which leads me to think the only people that voted were Laker and Celtic fans.

And frankly, you can both go to hell.

Two franchises that combine for half the Championships in the NBA.

Both with obnoxious fans. In different ways... but still obnoxious.

Boston fans don't mind blowing smoke in a pregnant woman's face, and LA fans fake being pregnant to get smoke blown in their face..ya

Worst Crowd Ever

This could easily be about Toronto, or New Orleans, or Charlotte. But there's a difference between fans that don't show up, and those that do show, but maybe shouldn't have...

Credit to Knox

In a city where ticket prices have inflated to ridiculous numbers; its hard to explain who actually goes to these games.
The average fan can't afford paying 100 dollars for the 300 section. But  somehow hardcore Schmucks can.

I don't care that the fans are rich, or celebrity. But I do care about cheering. At least PRETEND that you're there to watch the game and not to network. Swallow your pride for 3 hours and wear the yellow shirt over your $200 swanky dress shirt.

I'm not a Laker fan by any means, but I wish for one night ticket prices would come down so Staple Center could be filled with the real Laker fans...the ones that are annoying, and delusional... the ones that believed Rick Fox was a defensive specialist.. the ones that believe Derek Fisher doesn't flop... they do exist.. BELIEVE ME

** Editors Note**
Actually, I do care if you're rich. Ya dick.

Playoffs

The NBA Playoffs are finally here, and I'm already pissed off about the regular season.

forget the past 6 months

I woke up Saturday morning to began watching a TERRIFIC Bulls - Pacers. It was nothing I've seen since this time last year. It made me furious about the past 6 months.

No where in the past 6 months did I see teams play this hard, and this constant. 6 months of watching teams play half-ass til the fourth quarter. 6 months!

The only two match-ups throughout the regular season the NBA that enticed everyone to watch were opening day, and Christmas day.  Don't get me start about Christmas day, but opening day was interesting, and entertaining.

So back to Playoffs. They're here, and there have already been a few upsets. Lakers, and Spurs both lost. The Bulls and Mavs were lucky to escape with wins.

Allow me to go down the list.

Spurs - Grizzlies

The playoffs will show off: How old the Spurs really are, and how good of a Coach Popavich is.
The Grizzlies will show grit, and will scrap for every position. Shane Battier will heat corner threes, and Marc will prove who has the better beard between him and Pau.
The Grizz took game one, but once Ginobli comes back I see the spurs taking it in 6. 
America will be introduced to: Zach Randolph, and Gary Neal.

Lakers - Hornets

ZZZZZZ!!
CP3 doing whatever he wants whenever he wants. Of course, thats because Fisher wears 5 lb shoes.
With West already gone, and a back-up center turning his ankle today (If you can't beat'em, BEAT'EM). I got the Lakers' size being too much for the bankrupt Hornets and taking this one in 6.
America will be introduced to: Chris Paul (Hes been gone for a while, America forgets quickly), Trey Johnson - i love these kids who work their asses off in D-league then get called up. He gets called up and immediately gets playtime in the Playoffs? Going from Bakersfield to the playoffs has to be like going from Kristie Alley to Scarlette Johanson.

Nuggets - Thunder

I don't have too much to say about this besides: Smash. There's gana be a ton of throwdowns in this series. I got Kendrick Perkins getting yammed on 20 times before the end of the series. This probably the most entertaining series, and no one will watch it. I got the Thunder in 6 close ones.
America will be introduced to: Gallanari - New Yorkers were the only ones who knew who this guy was. He was overshadowed during the Melo trade, but you'll see him hit 3's and take it strong to the hoop. Thunder Crowd - This crowd is something else. The closest you'll get to a college atmosphere in the NBA. Everyone is wearing those bright blue shirts, waving those white rags, and goes nuts over every shot. I'm still pissed about Seattle losing their team, but the crowd in OKC should make Seattle proud.

Dallas - Portland

The 'experts' upset pick. Experts give me a fucking break. Anyone who's been watching half a season of basketball could've picked that. You got the Mav's who choke it up every season, and the Blazers who's athleticism give the Lakers a rough time every game. With that being said.. I'm a little torn on this one. But I'm gana say the Blazers win in 7.
America will be introduced to: JJ Barea - Most famous for dating the 2006 Miss Universe, the guy isn't a bad back up behind Jason Kidd either. LeMarcus Aldridge - A HUGE All-Star snub. LA is one of the premiere power fowards in the league, and Andre Miller loves to throw lobs to him. He will dunk on Dirk 3 times before the end of the series.

THE EAST

Bulls - Pacers

I don't know if I should call the Bulls, The Bulls, or D Rose and a Bunch of god damn scubs. Everyone this site knows I love Lebron, but the MVP is the most important player towards a team. And D Rose proved that during game one. Because, if that guy doesn't have a stellar game one, then they lose to the 8th seed. He shot 21 free throws and ended with 39 points. I think theres a lot of room for concern for Bull fans. As soon as there's a hiccup in D Rose's game, the game is lost. Rose had an insane evening and they were down the entire game till the final minute. Psycho T went ape-shit and showed everyone in Chicago how bad Boozer is during the Playoffs. I got the Bulls in 5.
America will be introduced to: Danny Granger - The best player on the Pacers and one of the best in the league. A great basketball body and nasty jumper. CJ Watson - The man I feel most bad about in the league. He most come off the bench of D Rose. America will probably hate this guy before the end of the Playoffs. Rose comes out and Watson comes in, talk about a swing in talent.

Heat - 76ers
Heat in 4

Hawks - Magic

Probably the worst series in the playoffs. Well actually, the Philly Miami series is terrible, but at least you get the pleasure of watching the best basketball player in the Universe.
The Magic and Hawks is just bad. There's nothing appealing about this series besides of knowing who the Bulls will face next. I've always liked Josh Smith and Joe Johnson, and part of me wants them to beat the Magic. Partly because I feel the Magic are the Mavs of the East. Buttt... Who will have more dunks, Josh Smith or Dwight Howard? Magic in 7.

Celtics - Knicks

The run n' gun system that hasn't exactly worked out for D'antoni in the playoffs IS BACK. Except this time you don't have Nash and Amare, you got melo and Amare. And the first game went to the Celtics on a heroic Allen 3. This is a pretty tough match up for both teams. I feel you got the geezers on the C's that want to run with the Knicks but might have a stroke in the process. The Knicks who don't know how to play D-E-F E-N S-E. It's in the DICTIONARY! I'm gana go with the Celtics in 6.
America will be introduced to: Jeff Green? and Renaldo Balkman?

The Playoffs have been 10 times better then last years, and its only been the first game. The playoffs last year were fucking terrible. FUCKING TERRIBLE. The only good series was the Suns and Lakers. LeBron and C's could've been better without the Delonte West Scandal. I don't talk about mama's.

Quote of the weekend: "Have you tried Acid? Ohhh, tha'ts why you think Cocaine is tight. "

Sterling Does Not Want The Kings In Anaheim

The Kings did what they've always done. Put up a decent fight, but when it was game time, they got beat, again, by the Lakers, again.

My Money is this Tall

And thats it's it, the people of Sacramento have seen their last professional basketball game. Unless they want to drive 7 hours down the 5 to Anaheim, to Laker territory.

Sterling does not want the Kings in Anaheim. Its bad business.

The Clipper Business Model:

-Offer cheaper games then the Lakers
-Be in the LA Market
-Advertise sales through other marketable teams coming to town

The NEW Anaheim Kings model
-Offer Cheaper games the the Lakers
-Be in the LA Market
-Advertise Sales through other marketable teams coming to town

The Kings will be in direct competition with the Clippers and no one else.

The Clippers are about the lose half of their game goers.

With Anaheim being south of Los Angeles, you're going to have the Inland Empire, Orange County, and San Gabriel Valley going.
No longer will basketball fans not directly in LA, or North LA be forced to drive through horrendous traffic, park in shady parking lots, and deal with...shitty Angelenos.

WE GET A BASKETBALL TEAMMMM!!

The Pond (Fuck Honda Center) is an easier drive, parking is easier, and safer, the people are douches (there are douche bros but I'd rather put up with drunktards, then being mugged).

And on top of all that, the Kings have had more success in the past 8 years then the Clippers ever have.

Now I'm not bold enough to say the Kings are gana be contenders anytime soon. But I can tell they can, and will be contenders to Sterns cheap and greedy, business model.

Bynum's MRI

For those worrying about Bynum's Hyper-extended knee. No worry.
I happened to get an early photo of the MRI and I think its safe to say nothing has changed and Bynum should be fine.

My favorite part of last nights game against San Antonio? Beside the fact the Lakers couldn't smash on the Spurs without them playing any of their starters..

When Bynum got hurt, he sat on the floor for several minutes looking like a complete baby. I loved it.

Because at that moment, the entire Staples Center was torn. Some people were holding their breath, some were booing.

Laker fans are sick of it, but I love it. Hes a bum. I don't know if there's any other sport where the player can just sit down on the play and pout. Hockey players skate of the ice virtually unconscious and times.

But If you've been a basketball fan for the past 10 years then you're familiar with how Vagina the league can be.

o btw, what's up with Charlie Villanueva going CUHHRAZYY

Video of the Week

In a new segment called video of the week, I will be examining the best NBA related video of my liking.

Today is a T-Mobile made music video for Charles Barkley.



If you're a fan of Antione Dodson and the auto-tune the news stuff, you'll probably love this video.
My only real gripe is, I wish they would've had clips of Barkley playing.

Anyway..

NO DANCIN', NO HUGGIN'

Barkley does address some key issues in this ridiculous song.

No defense, professional athletes can't make free throws. The game is soft, and stats are for nerds.

Work vs Play

Selling out, Giving in, The Man...

Its the inevitable and it will inevitably get you too. One day you will have to get a real job, make some money, and be self efficient.

I have no soul

This shouldn't hinder your Fan hood!

Imagine this...

Lakers down by 1, 6 seconds left, Kobe has the ball...he dribbles off his leg.. GAME OVER! LAKERS LOSE!

I immediately reach to my phone to text my Laker fan, "OHHH MY GOOODDDDDDD"

Laker Fan: "I'm pretty tired man, gotta work tomorrow.."

!!!

His purple and yellow dick should be castrated.

My fans...

Hey man, not all of us have the luxury of being unemployed, all non-void, walking around like you're Pretty Boy Floyd.

Ya I know, I'm lucky to sit here and criticize everyone the way I do.
But really! If you're gana be a fan, you gotta be a fan through thick and thin! That includes when your team is in the shit, or when YOU'RE in the shit!

Do you think its easy being a Suns fan right now? Watching Half-man Half-washed up shooting game winners? Not easy! Just because one may have to work in the morning shouldn't change the fact Vince Carter sucks, the fact the Lakers stinking up the league again.

Just because you gotta work, doesn't mean you gotta sell out

Violence!

Well oh well.

Look at this, the NBA is trying to grow a pair. What a shocker.

John Wall (the under achieving rookie, whose dance moves  get him more recognition then his game) punches Big Z of the Heat.
When I first heard of this, I thought Wall had to jump to punch Z in the face. Little did I know, Wall actually punches Z in his left side. A Hook to the ribs maybe. One punch then a whole lot of jawing, and nothing really.

Wall gets a 1 game suspension which is total crap.
One of the NBA's biggest problems is its inconsistency. Amare (yes I'm referring to the Suns) gets a game suspension for leaving the bench and walking onto the court, suspending him for game 6 at home against the Spurs - which they would eventually lose.
Wall intentionally inflicts harm on another player and gets the same suspension? How about Bynum acting like a fool and charging into Beasley? Ya, its a flagrant and dangerous foul, but he didn't intentionally mean to hurt the guy. Wall meant to hurt Z with that punch. Cock sucker.

The NBA needs to enforce its rules consistently. Because if you don't you have pissed off fans wondering 'what if' years later.

Next,

The Lakers and Mav's scuffle. Tough guy Barnes and.... Steve Blake? I feel as if Blake's parents were really concerned watching that. So tempers 'flare' and Barnes get ejected. No punches thrown, but Barnes got a good shove in.

The more interesting part of the night was when it appeared a woman at Staples Center tried to rush the court near the Mavericks bench. She was immediately escorted out by the 'red jacket crew.'

This is what I hate about the NBA. As soon as the woman tried to rush the court and crowds were being formed and commotion started.. the NBA pans away from the action. Putting it on Lamars face, or the Coaches.

I wanna see what's happening! Especially when the crowd is getting involved. Who can forget the Rumble at the Palace? That was amazing! I love how the aggression spreads from the court into the crowd! Finally! Some aggression!

Its all organic really. You get that many hood players in one arena and and of course something will go down. Its too bad not every team is conducted of Grant Hill's and Dwight Howards.

BTW.

Baseball still has basketball beaten in the violence department. Actually, Id say all sports have basketball beat.. all but soccer.

Most Hated Fan

Well you assholes some how did it again - You voted a tie.

3 total votes - cell phone, brings the girlfriend, the girlfriend... this got me thinking.. What if we could merge all three?

A girl, who brings a girlfriend that talks on the cell phone during a game... the only place to find this?..

THE WNBA

The WNBA was the official "sport," or league of the LGBT community, and featured gay-friendly nights, such as Gay Pride Night at Arco Arena.


Sheryl Swoopes came out as gay, and there's a lot of internet buzz about Taurasi. Do I think Taurasi is gay? I don't care. She's the best player in the WNBA and I'm pretty sure she could ball up Derek Fisher, and she could totally take Marco Jaric (Who I hate because of his hot ass wife).

This game is so boring

So yea.. the only place you could find a girl who brings their girlfriend, that talks on the phone during the game is probably the WNBA...


ALSO


A lot of people have been asking me


Hey dick, wheres the hate been? You giving up or something? 


Short answer... Sort of..
I'm beginning to give up on life. Longer answer, the NBA is boring me to death. Maybe its because I don't have real life issues to keep me busy? Probably.. I look forward to good games on at night, and the NBA is just not delivering.


March Madness is developing real basketball games, I believe our country (USA) is in its third war.. gas is at 4 dollars in California.. and the country of Japan is in ruins.... Suns - Mavericks?.. David West injured?.. Gimme a fucking break.

Suspended Stupidity

Bynum gets suspended for two games for his flagrant 2 foul on Michael Beasley.

GOOD!

I'm sick of homer Laker fans saying the foul wasn't worth a suspension.

Bynum turned his yellow back to Beasley and checked him like a hockey player. And this isn't the first time Beasley has fallen on his hip - He suffered a similar injury against the Heat back in November.

I'm hatin' all over Bynum.

It wasn't a dirty foul... because Bynum doesn't know how to be dirty. He's not a dirty player, he's a dumb player.

Bynum looked like a kid whose Dad is the varsity basketball coach, and is forcing him to play. He doesn't want to be there, and he certainly showed it with that play. 

Instead of making a play on Beasley, he freezes, then decides to turn his back and jump into him. Its a classic example of Bynum not wanting to be in the game. It wasn't an emotional play, he didn't go for the ball, he flat out stunk it up.

Beasley retaliated and Bynum took off. The Lakers had unbreakable Lamar step up to Beasley as if he was going to do something. Then transformed* tough-guy Matt Barnes had to start jawing at Beasley. Barnes is the retard that Beasley drove by for the layup. Barnes should be apologizing to Baby-Bynum for putting him in a situation in which Bynum shit his pants.

* I wanna speak a little about Barnes tough-guy transformation. Check out Barnes at UCLA

Not bad.

He plays in the league for a little while, then gets traded to the Golden State Warriors, and the transformation takes place.

Sorry for the slightly homoerotic picture but I wanted all the tattoos to come into focus. Despite the tattoos Barnes was on one of my favorite teams of all time. The Warriors were so damn hood! Anyone on that 2007 team seemed to turn tough. Baron Davis, Barnes, Pietrus, even Biedrins looked a little ghetto. I guess you could blame it on Captain Stephen Jackson.

Prayer hands holding a 9 mm? Doesn't get much better.

Dwayne Wade Does the Cabbage Patch

Yes the Dunk was nasty filthy disgusting awesomeness inbred with gnar gnar.

Probably the best dunk of the year so far. (if you don't think so you can mention some better in the comments sections)

BUT HERE'S WHAT I'M HATING ON

The dance Wade does after the dunk is appalling.
Whatever happened to yelling in the guys face? Giving dap? Stepping over someone, Pippen style.

I did a little research on the name of the dance.. The Cabbage Patch?!?!

You dunk on someone then do the Cabbage Patch? At least do something gross like the Tip Drill.



Actually... after watching that.. maybe the Cabbage Patch is a little a hood...

Most Hated Mascot

Why the NBA has mascots is still beyond me.
You voted for the Irishman and something else, but it doesn't matter, because I came across this...

 

A Rabbit from Philadelphia? He's buff, wearing sunglasses, a du-rag, and batting gloves. 

This is the most ridiculous thing the 76ers have done... except for when they re-signed Allen Iverson..

Someone should have told the 76ers that they dont NEED a mascot. The Blazers don't have one, either do the Lakers... All I'm saying is this thing shouldn't be forced. Because when it is... weird things happen, like Hip Hop. 

Speaking of weird, did you know the Heat had a mascot?
