Mavs - Spurs Rivalry

Rob Mahoney of The Two Man Game and Hardwood Paroxysm made this video reflecting upon the Spurs-Mavs rivalry, specifically Dirk/Timmy.  It contains Friday Night Light-esque music, altering speeds of film, and lots of high fives and post-bucket reactions.

The funny thing?  None of those are digs.  He made a follower out of me and so I will share the love with you.  Basketball nerds love the Spurs/Mavs matchup, and that is why I get chills watching this video.

JJ Reddick Doesn't Suck So Bad

I hate JJ Reddick.  It's in my blood, it's part of my homerism, and I'll take that to my grave.  But he gets a good ol' fashioned +1000 in my book for this quote digging at LeBron.

[from Official Website]
``We’re a small market, so we’re going to get less attention. Plus, we don’t have LeBron. Seriously, if the guy (James) said tomorrow that he was going to run for President, (CNN’s) Anderson Cooper would be on SportsCenter for 30 minutes talking about why he’d make a good president.’’ 


So regardless of the rumors I have spread about you making out with dudes for money or the number of times in college I witnessed people toss entire cups of beer at your forehead or slap you in the face; I'd give you a fist bump next time I saw you for this one.  Witty, timely, and good delivery.  Now please go back to making out with dudes for money.

A Thin Thursday Awaits Us

After a busy Wednesday that included 11 games overlapping at one time (thank you, League Pass Gods) tonight has thin prospects.  At least it's Thursday which means an evening with Kenny and Charles, and certainly another "Jet and Sir Charles' Greatest Hit" for tomorrow.

Phoenix at New Orleans, 8 PM TNT
Yesterday, the Hornets previewed their new Mardis Gras Jerseys they will wear in February.  So tonight, David West will be flashing Amar'e instead of playing defense.  After studying film though, I have concluded that David West flashing man boobs is actually more productive than the Mt. Rushmore-esque falsification of defense we usually see.  Suns won a week ago by 20 when the Hornets had CP3.  Suns -8.

Jazz at Spurs, 8:30 PM NBALP
If the first eighth of the season is sign for the future, it will take a medical miracle to put the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.  Getting Parker, Ginobli, and Duncan healthy at the same time is proving to be a monumentally difficult task.  I suggest you kidnap that Phoenix training staff, do it like in the old movies.  Where the scientist gets kidnapped to make the bomb, the super hero gets the note from the scientists daughter asking for help.  Anyway.  Both teams are on the end of back-to-back (normally a huge red flag to bet against the Spurs), and even though the line is moving south with Ginobli's injury.  I'm still taking Jazz +5


Bulls at Lakers, 10:30 TNT
The Bulls, formerly one of the most potent offenses in the league, now brings their 89 ppg average into the Staples Center to play the Lakers on the evening of Pau's return?  Chicago's bigs have been impressive since March, but I do not expect that they will be prepared to handle a completely healthy Lakers team inside.  I expect to see a good amount of Josh Powell and maybe even some Adam Morrison in this one.  Lakers -9

This Guy Definitely Went To Dook

  


(HT: TalkHoops.net )


This is the type of action that triggers my assumption of a Dook fan. You have put so much thought into how you are going to affect the game, you forgot how to enjoy the game. I'm convinced that 99.9 percent of the Cameron Crazies don't even really understand basketball, they just read what's on their cheer sheet. Congrats dude,you didn't change the game - you just made yourself look like a inconsiderate douche.

Table-topping is still awesome.

A lot of times girls get really annoyed that my friends still table top people.  Now we can honestly say - "The Celtics do it!"  If they try and counter with something like "hey - you are still immature."  Then I'll be forced to say "Hey, here's a gym membership - put it to use"

You, Me, and Three Friends --> Next Year's Halloween

I have a theory that you come up with the best Halloween costumes after Halloween.  So I am documenting this.  I call Larry. Who you got?

Danny Granger Ducking Press Like He Owes Them $$$

Danny Granger has been turning in subpar performances for most of the season.  In a very juvenile "holy crap I owe my roomate money for bills" way he seems to be avoiding the issue with the press.

From The Indy Star:
A leader, the guy with the big contract, the face of the franchise, he sticks around after a lousy game and does his best to explain what just happened. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have any answers for a 111-93 loss.

Listen Danny, when you are going to build your own Batcave in the offseason, you better be ready to catch some flack when you aren't providing your team with W's. (if you haven't already heard that story click here because Granger really is building a Batcave.)

So stop dodging the press, even Bruce Wayne would step and feed the press some bullshit.

Chucky Is The Joker

"Chucky" Gruden decided to upgrade his Halloween villain alias in the booth with Tirico and Jaws before Monday Night Football in New Orleans.  This original get-up (you are a year late on the joke) fit his face in an eerily comfortable manner.

Go Get Him, Now

If you (or someone) hasn't already claimed Brandon Jennings in your fantasy league.  For the love of Pete n' Pete go and pick him up NOW.  The man who has seemingly snuck into the Association in Blake Griffin's shadow looks as though he is the Rookie that has the chance to have the biggest impact on his team. 

Additionally, Michael Redd will be missing the next two weeks so now Jennings is the 1, 2, and 3rd scorer on this Bucks team.  Thank god I got my early bird league pass order in on time.

SVG Must Really Dislike J.J. Redick..

...or someone in the front office does.  Every little bit of opportunity that J.J. has gotten he has shown why he was one of the most dominant college players of the 2000's.  Yet, the Magic continue to bring in (and play) other players at that exact same position.

Sunday, with Vince Carter sitting out resting his vagina ankle, Redick had 27 points on 5/8 from behind the arc and grabbed 6 rebounds.  Unfortunately, once VC gets healthy and Rashard Lewis finishes his suspension for juicing, Redick will most likely find his way back to the bench where he gets eye-fucked constantly by 16 year old dudes.

Probably jealous of JJ's "rap career"
