^LOL…Fair enough
Detroit’s New Nightmare! Tyrus Thomas. The Pissed Ons got Owned to death last night by my man. He had this one block on Rip where he put his nuts all up in Rips face . I think Ty left a schmegma schmeer on his mask! Round one to my Bulls.
Chicago 97, Detroit 93
Fuck the Pistons!
Go Bullets!
This is an old joke, I think I read it a long time ago in Reader’s Digest or something.
The Washington Bullets are changing their name.
They don
Not that anyone cares, but did anyone see what is developing with the Knicks?
Marbury, for some reason, left their road trip and threatened to reveal a whole bunch of stuff on Isiah Thomas.
Is there a professional sports franchise that you can remember that is in bigger disarray?
Yeah this franchise continues to find new ways to embarrass itself.
I’m not a knick fan, but have to admit being a New Yorker and an NBA fan, the league isn’t as much fun to be a part of when the local franchise is a complete disaster.
Daddy Dolan has to step in and take the keys away from Jim. The only thing he’s proven as owner is that he can spend daddy’s money idiotically.
Marbury is an idiot. But Isiah’s an even bigger idiot for bringing him to NY. And Jim Dolan is an even bigger idiot for bringing Isiah to NY.
I really hope someone steps in and cleans this mess up. But it looks like its going to get worse before it gets better.
I just find it odd that in the BIGGEST sports market in America, not 1 but 2 franchises are having big problems. The Knicks, and the Yankees - who just fired Torre and they’re going through this whole A-Rod thing. And the Jets might be the worst team in football.
Not that the size of the sports market has anything to do with it, but they are certainly under a bigger microscope than, say, Seattle or Denver or Minneapolis.
I keep forgetting that Isiah Thomas coached the Pacers.
Actually, it’s not that I forget, it’s more like I want to not remember.
And don’t forget that Isiah maybe have single-handedly destroyed the CBA. He’s got quite a resume. I personally think that since he’s a former Piston he’s going to former rivals of the Pistons and destroying their franchises one by one. You watch…he’ll find a way to be coaching the Celtics next…
Of course Danny Ainge is destroying that team just fine without him…
Stevo
Went to the Cavs game last night.
We lost, but I had my feet on the court.
The reports all over NY radio this morning centered on The Knicks embarassing 26 point home loss to the Warriors, complete with a recording of the MSG crowd chants of “FIRE ISIAH!”
Hilarious.
Charles Oakley was in attendance, and Al Trautwig, the company sideline lackey for MSG interviewed The Oakman for a few minutes.
Oakley said there are no leaders on the Knicks right now, and that the teams that won 50+ games every year in the 90’s(and always were unappreciated by Knick fans) wouldnt stand for the kind of nonsense that continues with this team.
I mean could you imagine Stephon pulling this selfish bullshit on a team that had Oakley, Xavier Mcdaniel, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, etc. One of them would have shoved a size 14 up his ass a long time ago.

Don’t forget Johnny Starks.
Yeah, but I’m talking more about the guys on those teams that were the enforcers
I’d say he does a fairly decent job of enforcing something here:
Bwaha! My buddy has that on a poster framed in his Game room. Its Titled “The Dunk”.
Whenever we go in there to throw down some Halo, I chuckle and say “The Dunk”, in an extremely condescending voice, and follow that up with:
"You know they lost that series 4-2 ".
I like this guys views… As I also believe Varejao is making a huge mistake this season. His head is much larger than reality.
An open letter to Anderson Varejao
Dear Andy:
Your holdout is the longest in the 37-year history of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
OK, it’s not actually a holdout. You are a restricted free agent, meaning you are not under contract or any obligation to report to the Cavs. You can sit from now until eternity.
And you, Anderson Varejao of Santa Teresa, Brazil, will still be under control of the Cavs because they’d have the right to match any offer you receive. Even if you play in Europe for the next 10 years. Even if you sit on the beach for the next 20 years. Even if you hold your breath and wish upon a star and think bad things about the team that wouldn’t mind paying you close to $20 million over the next three years.
Someone needs to remind you that you averaged 6.8 points and 6.7 rebounds last season, your best in three NBA years.
In the playoffs, you averaged exactly 6.0 points and 6.0 rebounds.
The Cavs have offered you a deal that begins around 6.0.
Make that $6,000,000. . .
As in $6 million a year. . .
As in about $1 million for each rebound and point you averaged last season. . .
As in a three-year deal worth nearly $20 million. . .
As in what Drew Gooden signed last summer, when he was in your same restricted free-agent position.
Gooden was hoping for more, but suddenly, he said: “Hey, I like playing with LeBron. I like my coach. I really like the idea of having nearly $20 million coming in over the next three years.”
If your agent says that deal is not on the table, tell him to ask for it. You’ll get it.
If your agent says you are a better player than Gooden, think twice. He’s averaging 14.3 points and 10.3 rebounds this season. You are the more gifted defender, he’s the superior scorer. If you break rebounding down per 40 minutes, you both averaged about 12 last season.
The 26-year-old Gooden is only a year older than you. If you really wanted to be an unrestricted free agent, you should have signed the $1.2 million qualifying offer when NBA rules gave you a chance. Then next summer, you could sign anywhere without the Cavs matching, and maybe you would have found a team dumb enough to pay you the $10 million annually that your agent has sometimes asked for.
No doubt, your agent reminds you that you averaged 12 points and 11.3 rebounds when you started six games last season. So may your brother, who was hired by your agent.
But in 20 playoff games, you averaged those 6.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 22 minutes. Cavs fans love you because you play with such passion. You throw your body in front of hard driving players. You are more than a flopper, you have quick feet and that’s why you led the NBA in drawing offensive fouls. Your unselfishness, your willingness to defend and rebound is perfect for a contending team such as the Cavs.
They do miss you.
But it’s harder for you to put the ball through the basket than to shove all that hair under a skullcap. You are a very good role player, but still a role player who is a 57 percent free-throw shooter and has no reliable inside moves near the hoop.
Andy, talk to Sasha Pavlovic. Ask him if he’s relieved to step out of restricted free agency and sign that $11 million deal (and it could be worth much more) for three years right before the opener. Ask yourself what you are being paid now, and where is this headed?
Think about the relief that would come from a contract such as Gooden’s and playing for a team with LeBron James – then ask yourself if what you’re doing now is worth it.

Remember when the Bulls were 2 - 10?
And Queen James got his ass smacked at the Palace last night?
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Bron Bron got injured last night!
Wolfman’s got nards?!
I’m pretty indifferent when it comes to Kobe Bryant, but I thought this was funny.
