Raptors > SuperBowl

Yes. Nothing spits in the face of America quite like missing the Superbowl. Especially if you're going to do so by watching the Raptors play [basketball?].

Why would Stern schedule a game during the biggest sporting event of the year? I'm convinced that Stern is either taking a shit on the Raptors (because no one will watch), or maybe he knows no one watches Raptor games anyway, including referees. Because if referees did watch the games then they wouldn't have so many blown calls, or maybe the blow calls because they don't care. ITS A SHIT TON OF "DONT CARES~!~!~~!1"

The fact is, more people would rather watch Superbowl commercials, or the Beyonce half-time show (hot damn) than a Raptors - Heat basketball game.

Lakers 3-PEAT!!

I would like to be the first to congratulate the Lakers on their 3-peat. Nothing quite says resurgence like victories over the Thunder, Jazz, and PeliCANTs. 

This season has been pretty rotten for the purple and gold, but it seems they're turning it around.. which of course means all the DLF's out there are beginning to let the public now how they feel about it. 

Here are a few of my favorite DLF comments during the 3-peat

DLF: Heat lose, Clippers lose, Lakers win, how can this get any better?

DLF: I know Stuart Scott has cancer and all but...he tries too hard to be black.

DLF: Two words for you Nick, LAKERS CHAMPIONSHIP!!

It looks like Dwight's vagina has finally healed and he's beginning to play a little better. The Laker's whipping boy Pau Gasol has been reduced to the bench (which helps their pathetic production). And it only took the Lakers to be 6 games below .500 and out of the playoff picture for Kobe to finally start passing the basketball. 

But can we be a little honest with ourselves for a moment?

Kobe has 2 games where he has more than 5 assists, and people begin to call him "Kobe Johnson." Earl Clark doesn't completely fucking suck, like everyone thought he would, and people call him "Earlsanity." 

Can we ease up on the gas a little LA? No? Didn't think so, that's what makes you delusional, and that's what makes you awesome. 

Most Hated Player

Congratulations to Dwight Howard on becoming NBHATE'S most Hated player.

Taking the thrown from LeBRON in familiar fashion. Trade talks, then "I'm Happy," talks, then more trade talks...fire the coach, fire the GM, and still get traded... Hurricane Howard at his best. Destroying everything in sight then continuing on to the next city.

Which brings us to Now.

It was a given that the rest of America hated Dwight, everyone from Brooklyn down to Phoenix hated him. But Los Angeles was glowing with anticipation - Remember all those photoshoped pictures of Dwight in a Laker uniform? All those YEARS of LA media intoxicating the public that Howard is on his way? Be careful what you wish for LA...

12th in the west, 3rd in the division, just 1.5 games better than the Sacramento Sonics. 1 coach fired, another coach's job on life support, Kobe losing his mind, Nash completely confused, Earlsanity? And now trade talks. Laker fans, say hello to Hurricane Howard.

LA was the only city in the country that didn't hate Howard...until now.

Congratulations to Los Angeles.

PS. Laker fans... Chris Paul. ;)

Video of the Weak

I always feel a little rotten putting Javale as the video of the weak, partially because it's an easy target. But this video has so many Weak parts, it couldn't be denied.

1. We're teased thinking Javale can handle the ball because of a fancy behind the back dribble.
2. He wants to throw a lob to the Manimal, begins to stumble, and throws the ball over the backboard into the crowd.
3. Knocks Ty Lawson(?) to the ground.
4. Announcers start to laugh.

You got me this time Javale Mcgee...
