Unlikely Tough Guy! 5/25/2010
Black eye, check! Busted nose, check! Jacked up back, check! Still undisputed leader of the Suns, check!
The Steve Nash injury report sometimes reads like a Stephen King novel, but that doesn't stop this little 6 foot 2 inch 180 pound tank from gutting it out and simply gettin' it done.
The underestimated 2-time MVP with enough resolve, grit and commitment to make Rudy Ruettiger proud is a force to be reckoned with and the Lakers would be wise not to sleep on Steve Nash and think that a Derek Fisher dome shot to the beak will slow him down, because in reality all it does is piss him off. Ask Tim Duncan if you don't believe me, his accidental (yeah right!) elbow to Steve's eye was the nail in the Spurs' coffin.
This underdog token canadian white boy who's averaged 17 PPG and 11 APG since coming to Phoenix, who shoots 90+ percent from the line, who drains 3-pointers at a clip of 45%, who has court vision comparable to Magic will cut your heart out and serve it up as an appetizer if you're not careful.
Wait, is that AL McCoy I hear? Nash..bounce pass....between two defenders...to Stoudamire for the wham bam slam jam!

Pathetic Waste! 5/25/2010
How much does an overhyped, uninspired, under-achieving, talent-wasting 33 year old shooting guard cost these days? Well, if you're the Orlando Magic it's about $16 million a year (Vince Carter).
How about an overhyped, uninspired, under-achieving, talent-wasting, 31 year old power forward? If you're the Magic this one's about $20 million a year (Rashard Lewis).
These shlubs (is that a word) have to go down in history as two of the most pathetic wastes of money in NBA history (still too early to count Greg Oden).
What does it really say for Vinsanity when he goes 1 for 12 from the field for a lame 3 points and his team still wins? You could build a Mormon church with the amount of bricks Vince was heaving. It chaps my hide that Vince can go out and play shitty uninspired loser basketball like that for 3 hours and walk away with about $200,000 for doing it. This is exactly Vince's problem too. He's not in it to win it. He just wants to get paid. Retire already you sell out!!!
Would somebody please tell Rashard Lewis that he's not Reggie Miller or Dan Majerle resurrected. Dude thinks he's a 3-point specialist but is sadly mistaken (witness his game 1 performance in this Celts series where he went 0 for 6). Rashard got his pay day and is now afraid of getting hurt so instead of taking it to the rack like a man, he just camps out along the arc and hoists up long balls. This pussy doesn't deserve to have the PF in his position column. Unless PF stands for "Pussy Fart" or something along those lines. $20 million a year for a 6 foot 10 inch pussy who won't take it to the hole! This kind of robbery should be illegal.
Have fun in the finals Boston cause with Vince & Rashard gutting this franchise like a dead fish, not even Superman can save the day.
Heart & Gasol! 5/21/2010
We all know that Kobe is the leader of this team and that without Kobe they don't win, so with that said let's move on and talk about Pau Gasol and the impact he's had in these 2010 Playoffs. Pau is the Garfunkel to Kobe's Simon, he's the Marie to Kobe's Donnie, the Sonny to Kobe's Cher, and the Pippen to Kobe's Jordan, for without each other neither will reach the true promise land.
Gasol has been nothing short of a beast, causing fits for those trying to guard him down low. The low-post moves, the hustle tip-ins, the sweet little 15 foot jumper that creates space and opens up the lane, not to mention the commitment to Defense! He's the whole package and then some!
The way Gasol is carving up defenses with surgeon like precision and skill, it should come as no surpise that Gasol actually attended medical school to become a doctor before his pursuit of hoops. Gasol is still the deal of the century and the powers-that-be at Memphis should be hog-tied and have their balls cut off for giving him away for peanuts. Damn, I'm glad I'm not on Grizz fan.
Setting Suns! 5/20/2010
You know how you take a dump and sometimes you need almost no toilet paper, but other times it seems like you have to use half the freakin' roll before all the shit is gone? I figure that's how the Suns must feel about now. No matter what they do and how much toilet paper they use, they can't seem to wipe all the shit away, that shit of course being the Lakers, who are stuck all over their no-defense playin' asses.
Pay attention all you wanna-be franchises out there, cause the Suns are the poster-child for why YOU MUST PLAY DEFENSE to win rings! I know this is a far-fetched fairy tale, but when I watch these games I feel like I could grab some buddies (regardless of their condition) and we could go out and drop 90+ on the Suns.
They may be fun to watch during the regular season, but how much fun is it watching the 48 minute schoolings the Lakers are puttin' on them nightly. Defense is a mindset, a commitment that must be made, and something to take pride in, it's not a rest period, and until the Phoenix Suns figure this out they will always be the bitch.
So Much For That! 5/18/2010
Somebody tell Dwight Howard that these Celtics aren't the Hawks! Where's all that swagger and confidence now Superman? It's easy to be cocky and arrogant when you're sweeping the floor with the Hawks isn't it? The Hawks have Joe fucking Johnson and a few role players. Not so easy when your up against Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Rasheed and Rondo is it?
This is an embarrassing and humiliating disappearing act of epic proportions we have on our hands here.
There are a few things that make me smile; Helen Slater almost nude in Legend of Billie Jean, Phoebe Cates titties in Fast Times, Halle Berry titties in Swordfish, Mimi Rogers in Full Body Massage (You gotta see this one if you haven't yet), and watching cocky balloon headed ego-maniacs getting served a big old fat slice of humble pie. Orlando had this coming!
Call me a prophet if you wish, but this one is over people. Like Allen Iverson's basketball future..It's Over! Like LeBron's time in Cleveland..It's Over! Like Barkely's golf swing...It's Over! Like the Nets chances of ever landing the #1 pick in the draft...It's Over! Like Luke Walton's chances of ever looking fly...It's Over!
Looks like a Celtics/Lakers rematch in the finals people. Lakers in 7.
Gift Wrapped! 5/18/2010
I wonder how Potland feels when they see Kevin Durant going to town night after night, while their version of Ryan Leaf sits on the pine. It must be a real shitty feeling. If the Wizards don't take John Wall with the #1 pick they will find out how Portland feels. I could make this pick while taking a dump, reading SLAM magazine, and pulling my pud all at the same time. This is about as much a no-braner as no-brainers get.
This kid has the "IT" factor. Let's just hope that Wall doesn't listen to Agent Zero, Dumbass, Big-Headed, Thinks he's better than he is, injured all the time, over-paid, over-hyped, idiot Arenas. There are better role models John so when you see Gilbert just move on.
Quitters! 5/14/2010
It's gotta be just flat out embarassing to be a Cavs fan right about now. My jaw dropped when with a minute and change left in the game, the Cavs (including the all-mighty Lebron) decided to simply quit. No fouls, no urgency, no desire! I know it would have been a miracle, but stranger things have happened (just ask Reggie Miller). For the Cavs to flat out quit like they did is an embarrasment to the franchise, the fans and the NBA as a whole.
The manipulation I made to the Cavs logo pretty much sum up what just happened to this team and the city of Cleveland. A flat, droopy, uninspired mess.
I sure hope you enjoyed the last few years Cavs fans, cause this is going to get ugly quick, as the Cavs are once again on a express trip to shit-ville. Let the LeBron sweepstakes begin and enjoy watching your franchsie player hold your city hostage, then eventually bolt for the bright lights of media-rich NYC.
Under-Whelming! 5/14/2010
I can hear you Cav fans now; "It wasn't LBJ's fault, he had a triple-double for crying out loud. What else could he have done?". Well let me answer that for you peeps cause I have some thoughts!
It may come as a surprise to some of you, but the stat line doesn't tell the whole story, unless you toss in the 9 turn-overs (some of which came at absolutely critical moments), the lack of leadership, or the total absence of "Clutch" play.
What you do in the 4th quarter is more important that what you did in the first three. LBJ missed shots at crucial moments, and turned it over at even more crucial moments.
Like he's done so many times during the regular season, when everybody was counting on LeBron to put this team on his shoulders, he just couldn't do it. Instead, he folded like a lawn-chair and joined the rest of the team in their inexplicable quit job.
LBJ could take some lessons from Kobe in this department. When the games on the line and everybody is expecting Kobe to put the team on his shoulders, he sacks up and delivers, time-after-time-after-time-after-time (See what I did there? Four of em' to reference Kobe's four rings). This is precisely why Kobe is still the best player in the game. The great one's never quit, never fold. Hell, LeBron practically had his shirt untucked at the 2-minute mark of the 4th. Hopefully Lebron will spend some time in the off-season scrubbing the "quit" from his portfolio.
Get used to this picture to the left Cav fans, cause it's going to become a stark reality in the coming months.
FUGLY! 5/12/2010
Did LeBron just miss 11 of 14 shots in a pivotal Game 5 at home? Did the Celtics just smoke the Cavs by 32 points in Cleveland? Isn't this the reigning MVP? This kinda thing isn't supposed to happen is it?
LeBron now faces the most important uphill battle of his NBA life. If he doesn't pull this miracle off and somehow find a way to beat the Celtics in consecutive games, these 2010 playoffs could leave a fugly skid mark not only on LeBron's legacy, but that of the entire Cavs franchise.
Did LBJ actually say "I spoil a lot of people with my play. When you have three bad games in seven years, it's easy to point them out."? Would Kobe say that? What about MJ when he was playing? Shouldn't he just shoulder the load here, take responsibility and vow to win anyway? I think all this fame, money and power has finally caught up with him. What a tool for saying that. I think LeBron has finally been exposed for what he really is, a big-headed ego driven jackass.
If there was ever any doubt about LBJ or Kobe, those questions (I think) have now been answered loud and clear. Kobe by a landslide people. kobe would be pissed if he had that kind of performance in such an important game, he wouldn't stink up the joint like that and then proceed to talk about how great he is. Kobe certainly wouldn't spout out verbal vomit like; "I put a lot of pressure on myself to go out and be great and the best player on the court. When I don't, I feel bad for myself".
Well I'm glad you feel bad for yourself LeBron, because I certainly won't be feeling bad for you after Rajon Rondo and the rest of the Celtics complete their contribution to this monumental collapse.
Still The Best! 5/5/2010
Let's end the debate once and for all. Until LB23 has 4 rings he will always hold Kobe's jock. It's all about the jewelry folks, and LeBron doesn't have any yet. Scoring titles and MVP's will only get you so far (Kobe has both of those honors too by the way).
Riddle me this Batman; It's the 4th quarter, 3.7 seconds left on the clock, your team down by 1-point. Who do you want taking that shot? KB24 or LB23? This is a no-brainer people, it's 100% Kobe without question. Kobe is the closest thing we've had to Jordan since Jordan...period.
LeBron wants to win, but not as bad as Kobe does. LeBron thrives on pressure, but not as much as Kobe does. LeBron is a nice option to be taking that last shot, but Kobe is a nicer one. LeBron will rule the nest someday, but that time is not now. This nest is still the domain of Kobe until further notice.
PS - Garnett was doing the whole hand-powder air throw before LeBron was even in the league. I don't like how LB23 stole it.
I like ya LeBron, but right now the title of 'Best Player in the League' still belongs to Kobe.
Monumental Asshole! 5/7/2010
Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you that Carmelo Anthony is far-and-away my least favorite player in the NBA. Dude is so full of himself that he makes Terrell Owens look normal. This is the punk that pulled a Scottie Pippen in his rookie season and refused to enter a game because he wasn't gonna get the last shot (boo fucking hoo). This is the fool that had to wear his olympic hat sidways at the opening ceremonies to draw more attention to himself.
He's a smug, arrogant, ego-maniac gangsta punk-ass bitch in every sense of the meaning. Talks like a punk, dresses like a punk, and acts like a punk. It's actually a shame he's so damn good, cause I'd love to see him fail more often than he does.
I've never seen Melo in an environment where I found him the least bit likeable. I saw this fool on PUNK'd and he was a cocky prick there, seen him in a ton of interviews and he's a dick-head on those, even during games he comes across as a self-loathing prick with no class.
Every time Melo gets bounced from the Playoffs I grin ear-to-ear with enjoyment. Every time he gets a hard foul and crashes to the floor something inside me hopes his ACL got shredded. He's the poster-child for why it's a mistake to give a hoodlum with a shitty up-bringing a bunch of fame and money.
I hate you Melo! You cocky, weed-smokin', refer to yourself in the third-person, think you're better than everybody else, corn-row wearin', ball-hoggin', thug.
All my love, NBAextra.com
Horry is an Dick! 5/5/2010
If there's any NBA player that I hate more than Carmello, it's Robert Horry. Nothing made me happier when this lame-ass retired.
From the dirty play, to the thrown towels, to the public bird-flipping he's done, even at a game I was personally at, this fool takes the cake as the biggest punk-ass-bitch ever to wear a uniform.
Worse yet is the dick head has multiple rings, most of which he got because he was lucky enough to play on the right teams at the right times. Big Shot Bob my ass. The guy makes two or three lucky shots after some miracle bounce into his hands and gets some heroic label like Big Shot Bob. Great players have made 50 times more big shots than Horry but for some reason the media decided to tag him.
I've never liked this bastard and as a life long Laker fan am embarrased that he ever wore the Uniform.
Not much more to rant about here! I just can't stand this fuck!
