WTF!? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen lol. The look on Dunleavy's face is priceless. :lol I can't even imagine how Newman (or whoever that is) got into that pose-- looks totally real. I assume he was landing from a rebound or blocked shot attempt, but how does your body get contorted like THAT? :p I guess his arms are getting ready to break his fall, and his leg got caught up on Dunleavy. Weird.

Don't forget to ask T-Mac how the fuck he lost to the Atlanta Hawks. :D

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Hey look on the bright side DM, maybe the Rockets will not make the playoffs this year, which will force the owner to fire Van Gundy and hire a real coach and you might get another star in the draft. Losing might be T-Mac's only hope of ever winning a championship on his own, luckily he mastered the art of losing last year. :D

A certain coach who likes to join teams with established stars is free right now...

Damn, looks like the Magic are for real :eek:

Seriously, what the hell is Gundy's problem? I started to think Francis was the worst player in the league and now he looks like a top 10-15 player as soon as he leaves? Imagine how good Yao will get when he comes to play with Kobe! :D

"Allen Iverson, Philadelphia, 165 pounds"


DAMN that's insane. To be 6' tall (though I hear he's closer to 5'11" in real life) and 165 pounds is just nuts. That's why he's so fast. :lol Shit, I remember when I was 185 (I'm 6'1"), I was a blur-- I can't imagine an extra 20 pounds off of THAT, plus some extra natural speed on his part. Crazy.


"Earl Boykins, 133 pounds"

Hah, how does he not hit the deck each time a pick is set? :D Shaq's schlong weighs more than that (according to rumors-- RUMORS, I say! :p).

Hah, that's funny. What are the chances of that happening? :lol


Btw, you sure it wasn't Marko Jaric that had 8 assists in one quarter? ;) What's more impressive-- 8 assists in a quarter or 3 in the span of 1:15? :D (yes, that was a joke :p)

This post will probably be swept away by the Lakers talk..so I'll make it quick and easy.

Raptors lost. No one here gives a shit. I am sad. Here are some great Bill Simmons quotes.

Actually, fuck it. I'll just post the Raptors part.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/cowbell/041117

TORONTO RAPTORS

Tuesday night's game: Clips 101, Raps 89. And it wasn't even that close.

The compelling story was Vince Carter, benched for the final 15 minutes of the Portland game last Saturday ... and now we know why. He's a mess. During the pregame "Everyone bunch into a circle and jump up and down" ritual, Chris Bosh accidentally bumped him in the head, so Vince dramatically took three steps back to make sure he was OK, then rejoined the circle with a sarcastic frown. He made his first five jumpers, banged his shooting hand on a collision with Maggette, then spent the rest of the game touching the hand, examining it and swearing to himself ... only he would not-so-coincidentally forget to do this every time he made a basket. When he was angry after not getting the ball before one timeout, he stormed towards the bench, then brushed off a high-five from Donyell Marshall and left poor Donyell hanging.

It went on and on. Forget about the fact that Vince doesn't play defense anymore; that he doesn't bother to box out; that he's shooting pretty much every time he gets the ball (23 shots in 26 minutes against the Clips); that he tries to avoid contact even on plays when he's driving to the basket. His moodiness affected everyone on that team. He's clearly trying to get himself traded -- playing just hard enough so nobody thinks he's dogging it, but acting up just enough so everyone knows he's unhappy. At one point, I honestly thought Rafer Alston was going to punch him.

Anyway, this was an impossible team to evaluate since Vince has pretty much poisoned them -- they're a Ewing Theory season waiting to happen. I see this one ending the same way the Nomar Era ended in Boston, with Vince getting moved for what seems like 60 cents on the dollar ... until everyone realizes that he's not the same player anymore. I mean, what could they really get for him? Who would roll the dice with that contract (4 years, 58 million) for a brittle, one-dimensional head case? You think New Orleans, Memphis or the Clips would deal quality guys for someone who could potentially destroy their team? If you were the Mavs, T-Wolves or Pacers, would you risk a potential title run for someone like that?

I could only see four teams making sense:

1. Chicago. It could send back Antonio Davis and one of its young guys (Eddy Curry, Ben Gordon) and hope Vince gets sufficiently excited to fill MJ's (belated) shoes. It's a big risk. But the Bulls already stink. It's not like things could get worse.

2. Charlotte. They have the cap space and the UNC connections ... if the Raps wanted to dump him for a draft pick, this would be the place.

3. Portland. For Shareef. This one makes the most sense: the Raps get another big body and some cap room next summer; Portland has the pockets to take a chance on Vince. Plus, Nike's right there. And on paper, a lineup with Stoudamire/Van Exel, Carter/Anderson, Patterson/Miles, Randolph and Ratliff looks pretty intriguing, on a number of levels ... including the "Wow, I've never seen two teammates fight to the death before" level.

4. Detroit. Not the Pistons ... I'm talking about the Shock. Now there's a team that would be perfect for Vince Carter.

For all the Haters, Kobe is 7-11 from the field tonight with only 3 FTA.

Now watch me get burned by a 1-9 4th quarter with 19 FTA. :lol
