Bill Simmons is Nucking Futs

For once, Bill’s head is louder than his heart. He’s wrote a new column on ESPN about the NBA Finals, and no, he’s not raving over Kevin Garnett being MVP or giving fans another mercurial comparison between the ‘07 Celtics to the greatest team of all time, the ‘86 Celtics. No.
He’s already picked the Los [...]

Eastern Conference Champions

For the sure-definite second time this season, my father is smiling widely from heaven. The Boston Celtics are Eastern Conference Champions, for the first time in 22 seasons.
The Detroit Pistons, aka the Philadelphia Eagles/Atlanta Braves (comparisons; Braves’ reference credited to SportsAttitude for calling it)) of the NBA, have just been ousted in their third straight [...]

The NBA: Gaining Back

The NBA is gaining back from me.
Gaining back some of the bad rep. that it doesn’t need. Especially for the fact that the NBA appointed referee, and Spurs hater, Joey Crawford to ref. the Spurs/Lakers game 4 last night in San Antonio.
Why, if you’re the NBA, do you have Joey Crawford ref the game, especially [...]

Kimbo Slice

Mixed Martial Arts has been on the uprise for the past few years. And it’s growing larger, still yet, to this day. Especially now that Kevin Ferguson, the latest MMA phenom, is making his way into the sport.
I guess you may be sitting there, thinking, “Who in the hell is Kevin Ferguson?” You may know [...]

Wassup, Doc?

So much for the Boston Celtics not being able to win on the road.
The Celtics forced the Pistons into a horrendous shooting night (38 percent from the field. Sexy. . . not); Kevin Garnett played above average for once, leading the C’s in points, rebounds and assists. Chauncey Billups was outplayed by co-point guard Rodney [...]

Jemele Hill Could Not Be More Right

If you haven’t read this column yet, then you need to.
You see, as I’ve reiterated time and time again on this site, I’m an old school basketball fan. I believe in real basketball, team basketball. I couldn’t care less about this fuckwit one-man-show bullshit. I hate hearing kids kiss LeBron James’ and Dwyane Wade’s asses [...]

Basketball Blunders

A San Antonio Spurs team has just lost a game by 30 points to a Los Angeles Lakers team who — before this year — hadn’t won a playoff series since 2004. The Lakers have won their first two respective series to advance all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Last series, the Spurs [...]

The Paul Pierce Piss Scale

What is the measure of greatness? I’ll tell you. It’s all in urine. Yes. Piss. Urine. Pee. Whatever the hell you’d rather call it of those three (unless you’re a scientific nerd). This is my scaling on the Paul Pierce Piss scale on how to determine a well-done-piss contrasted to the well-done-game-played:
Three stars is the [...]

Set up a Pick, Elbow him to the Head

Don’t ask about the title of this post. It just popped into my head and I thought it’d be fitting to have it way. It’s the respective Conference Finals on TV this time of year, so what better of a blog post name could be than Set up a Pick, Elbow him to the Head? [...]

A Tribute to the Blues Brothers and an Epitaph to the Phoenix Suns

I got Phoenix Suns fans riled up when I decided not to compare the Blues Brothers to the Phoenix Suns in a message board/column post two weeks ago. Apparently they thought the Blues Brothers band and the Phoenix Suns basketball team should be linked together forever. But I disrespectfully disagree. The Blues Brothers were hits [...]
