Shaq Already Causing A Rukus

"The Miami Heat, they've got a lot of great players, the `Big 2.' They will be back," O'Neal said from Louisiana during the broadcast, when discussing the NBA finals and how Dallas was able to beat Miami for the title.

See I've been saying this for a year now, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade are the Big 2 and Lebron is the role player. In the playoffs Bosh was much more of a factor than LeChoke. Bosh had more of an impact against Boston, Chicago and Dallas. LeChoke on the other hand cost them the finals with his non existent play.

The Heat would be a lot better off if they traded for a PG like Paul or Williams or a Center like Bynum or Howard for LeBron James. It's evident that those 2 positions would help the Heat out a lot more than a timid luxury position.

Racist Or Funny

Tough to decide on this one...

There's a chance we may find out if Wade accepts a job offer from a Chicago-area KFC, where he worked as a teenager.

Because of the NBA lockout, the fast-food, fried chicken restaurant said it will make a $250,000 donation to the company's Colonel Scholars program in Wade's name if he agrees to work at a local KFC drive-thru window.

The idea originated when Wade tweeted "Any1 hiring?" once the lockout became official. KFC general manager John Cywinski then wrote a letter to Wade saying he could be of assistance.

"We couldn't help but notice your recent tweet about looking for a new line of work in light of the lockout," the letter said. "We're always looking for folks with precisely your qualifications — initiative, teamwork and the ability to make buckets in a hurry (sun-sentinel.com)."

HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, but that is damn funny. I think the funniest part is how this owner wrote back to Wade. "Ability to make buckets in a hurry" is fucking hilarious, but you have to wonder if someone is going to take this whole thing the wrong way. I doubt there is any chance he would do this unless it was a one day thing, but it is actually a great idea even if it is just for the day. I mean imagine the publicity KFC would get if Wade is there for an 8 hour shift? It'll be well worth the $250 grand they would throw to a charity, so I think he should do it.

Anyways, I found this hysterical.

LeBron's Publicist Finally Has Him Do Something Right

"Basically I was saying at the end of the day this season is over and -- with all hatred -- everyone else has to move on with their lives, good or bad. I do too," James said.

"It wasn't saying I'm superior or better than anyone else, any man or woman on this planet, I'm not. I would never ever look at myself bigger than anyone who watched our game. It may have come off wrong but that wasn't my intent."

Yea, yea, yea. Are we supposed to believe this LeChoke? You finally did something smart. I'll take this for what it is right now, and I'll leave you alone for right now. But I know for a fact that in a month from now you are going to do something douchey that puts you right back in the light. This is the same guy who hosts the decision, compares him self to the greats in a loss, and then after loses the finals calls everyone a peasant.

Which comes to my next point, I'll give it a month before LeBron does something stupid. Do you take the over or the under?

I Am Loving All This LeBron Hate, But...

(that's DeShwan Stevenson)
Don't you dear feel bad for this guy and the media's dismantling of him. Remember this guy is the same guy that wiped his ass with Cleveland, couldn't deal with the hate he got from "The Decision" and retweeted all the hateful tweets, called everyone who disliked him was a racist, lost in the finals, reminded everyone after he lost that everyone is poor and he has a sweet life, then blamed God for not having it be his time to win it yet (not us as in team). I'm sure I'm missing a few too. But I have already heard a couple people saying they feel bad for him because how much he is getting dragged through the mud.

Please America, people, fellow viewers, embrace LeBron's failures as a moral victory in your life (like I do) and everything will be a lot better.

Sounds Like Howard Wants Out Of Orlando

A lot was made last month when Dwight Howard came out and said he wants to stay in Orlando. Not too many of us believed it, and we aren't the only ones...

From Howard-Cooper: "Howard reaffirmed his desire to stay with the Magic, but told NBA.com on Monday that he will definitely become a free agent rather than sign an extension in the next year and also left open the possibility he would reconsider his future in Orlando if the team does not win the title next season ... In a one-on-one interview afterward, though, he made it clear he is not happy with the collective personality of Orlando's roster and that changes need to be made."

I can't blame him a all. I think the Magic are no where close to winning anything, so if I was him I would take off. They have ruined that roster taking on terrible contracts, and I think they are only going to get worse. So, now comes the obvious question of where he will land. There have already been rumors of the Heat trading Lebron for Howard. Although from a basketball sense it makes sense, since he would probably fit better, and combining Howard and Bosh would be pretty special (as DP said while we talked about this). I just don't see the Heat having the balls to do it.

A team that makes a lot of sense are the Nets. Him and Williams being in New York seem like a perfect match. For all the Boston fans, yea I think there is a chance he comes here also. Bottom line I can see him a lot of places, just not Orlando.

105 Dallas, 95 Heat

Before I go on a LeBron induced rant, I am really happy for Dirk, Mark Cuban, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Peja, Jason Terry and even Desean Stevenson.

This game was pretty much dominated by the Mavs and their 3 point shooting. Yes, Miami may have been in striking distance but whenever they made a run, the Mavs would respond in a big way. Dirk struggled big time in the 1st half, but Jason Terry covered for him and had many of his 27 points in the 1st half.

In the 2nd half Dirk turned it on and finished the game with 20 points and 11 boards. Including a dagger fade away with 1:20 left putting them up 12.

Now to LeBron and the Heat.

What the fuck was that, LeBron once again disappeared in the 4th quarter in not 1, not 2 but 3 games in the NBA finals. It doesn't make any sense and anyone who watched last nights game, had to have got the weird feeling like when Cavs rolled over for the Celtics last year. Everyone was too passive, LeBron was passive and no one wanted to try and take over the game. LeBron averaged 17 points a game these finals, that's just not acceptable for a player who proclaimed they would win 7 championships.

To be honest, LeBron was the 3rd most important person in the finals behind Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

LeBron remains a loser. !st here is his quote about being asked about how he feels about all the haters, “At the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail – at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today,” James said. “They have the same personal problems they had today …" Dick. And this was his chicken shit twitter last night, The Greater Man upstairs know when it's my time. Right now isn't the time. It's fucking bullshit, he's hiding behind God now? He built this target on his chest and now can't handle it. He really needs to learn to stop putting a foot in his mouth.

Die

Mavs Win Finals

105 Dallas, 95 Heat
HAHAHAHAHA

Fuck yea!

LeChoke strikes again!

Cost the Heat the series!

Mavericks 112, Heat 103

Both offenses exploded last night, each surpassing the century mark for the first time in the series. Miami's 52.9% shooting was impressive, but Dallas' 56.5% was just a bit more so. The Heat spent most of the game without Wade, then essentially spent the 4th quarter without LeBron.

If Dallas didn't win this one, I felt like the series would be over. Down 3-2 going back to Miami would have been too tough to overcome. And while the Mavs still have to win one more game, they needed this game last night.

Dirk Nowitski had another stellar performance with 29 points. But the hype around him is a little surprising. I won't go so far as to say he's overrated. I think maybe he was underrated before this run by the Mavs. Now people feel the need to exaggerate. Still, he is carrying Dallas on those German shoulders.

It was a team effort for the Mavs, though. Jason Terry scored 21 off the bench, Jose Juan Barea added 17, Kidd had 13, and Chandler had 13. The Mavericks hit 68.4$ of their three pointers.

LeBron James had a triple-double with 17 points, 10 boards, and 10 assists. But he only scored 2 points in the 4th. That night kind of sums up what his critics think of his career.

Game 6 Sunday night.

I Want to Watch the NBA Finals, But...

I don't like LeBron James. I hate him. I have no opinion of the Mavs, but they might be my 3rd favorite team in all of sports at the moment. I never liked James, his "Decision" made me like him less, and now LeBron ball-washers like Michael Wilbon portray him as a victim so I hate him even more. If you don't want media scrutiny, don't produce your own TV shows.

So I've been trying to watch the NBA Finals, rooting against the Heat. And they've been great games. But the endless commercials make it impossible for me to watch more than a minute at a time. And why do these teams need 6 timeouts each? It's so boring. Regular timeouts, TV timeouts, then ABC turns a 20 second timeout into a 30 second timeout with a commercial, then the players need 10 more seconds to get set for the play.

The most exciting 2 minutes of the game take 12 minutes to unfold. That doesn't build excitement, it's just annoying.

I can occasionally like watching basketball, especially the final minutes of a close playoff game. I don't like commercials, I don't like watching basketball players stand around and do nothing. It's just aggravating. And you know what else is boring? Free throws. I can't think of much outside of baseball that's more uninteresting than a free throw.

Get rid of the timeouts, get rid of the 15 seconds it takes to line up a free throw, and reduce the commercials. Also play the game on ice and allow contact.

Brendan Haywood Done In Finals?

Haywood was able to play in Game 4, but was only able to play 3 minutes. It sounds like his hip isn't getting any better, and doctors say his injury usually takes 4-6 weeks to heal. Obviously, Haywood will keep trying, but it is sounds more and more likely that Haywood has played his last minutes in the Finals. It's not the end of the World for the Mavs, but it does hurt their rebounding which is something I thought they could have an advantage in going into the series. Ian Mahinmi will likely take his place.

86 Mavs, 83 Heat

LeDouche had 8 points, 8 points, that's how many the Bruins had last game. He shot 3 for 11 had 9 boards and 7 assists. For someone that has the tattoo Chosen One across his back and in a crucial game in the NBA finals, that's just not good enough. With all due respect to DeShawn Stevenson and the Mavericks defense, no one should be able to hold LeFag under 10 points. Of course for me, an avid LeJerk hater, I love it, I hope this gets in his head, and i hope the Heat lose the next 2 and I hope LeQueer is the scapegoat and then has to retire because the pressure is too much.

Speaking of pressure, a guy who has constantly been criticized for bowing out when the game is on the line Dirk Nowitski put together a hell of a performance last night. With a 101 fever and the flu, he willed the Mavs to win scoring 10 of his 21 points in the 4th quarter.

Speaking of defense, Tyson Chandler (who's a free agent and would be perfect for the Celtics) had himself a grown man game 13 points, 16 boards (including 9 offensive) and has definitely made the difference in Big D. Game 6 will be back in Miami.

88 Heat, 86 Mavs

2 games until I'm on suicide watch. I hate watching this series, because the Mavs go down by a million points and then come back so you can't ever shut the game off in disgust. And who last night decided to punch me in the dick, Chris fucking Bosh. You know I have to give the guy credit, all of us have chalked it up to this guy sucks, but he won as many games for the Heat as Lefag and Wade. Bosh hit a token KG jumper for the win (figuring Dirk missed a tough fade away at the buzzer).

I don't know what to think about this series, I really really really want the Heat to lose it, but they are playing such awesome defense and not making stupid turnovers. I have nothing else to say, but I went to sleep last night cursing.

Fuck

Die

95 Mavs, 93 Heat

Well thank god the Mavs won this game because it looked like it was going to be over in the 4th. Miami took a 15 point lead only to squash it in the 4th and it was capped off by Dirk Nowitzki making the tiebreaking layup with 3.6 seconds left.

The final play was a thing of beauty, Jason Kidd dribbled the ball down to 10 seconds then gave it to Dirk at the top of the key with Chris Bosh defending. Instead of settling with an off balance jumper or a fade away, dirk took it to Chirs Bosh spun passed him and got an uncontested lay up.

The next 3.6 seconds were terrifying as Lebron pushed it up passed it to Dwayne Wade and he got a look 4 steps beyond the arc that barely missed.

This was a huge game as the Mavs stole home court back and won what has to be a mentally exhausting game for the Heat. The series is tied at 1-1.

I Can't Ignore it, The Heat Are 3 Games From Me Seriously Considering Committing Suicide

I went to bed at halftime, something woke me up when there was 1 minute left in the game. I believe that was God's way of playing a practical joke on me. "This will be funny, Dave is asleep and having a dream about him and Kate Upton, let me wake him up from that to see the Heat win" Thanks God, that was a punch to the dick.

the Heat are 3 games away from taking the title. the Scary thing is that they held Dallas to 84 points. Yes, Dallas shot horribly and missed A LOT of open looks, but this isn't a great way to start off the series. If you look at the positives for Dallas you can say they held Miami to 92 points, They missed a ton of open looks, and it could have been rust from the layoff. I'll bank on that, but more and more it looks like LeDouche is going to be winning his 1st title..... Shucks.

GOD DAMMIT! FUCK YOU LEBRON

Motherfucking Bulls blowing a motherfucking 12 point lead with motherfucking 3 minutes left. What the fuck do you think you are doing. All they fucking did was build the fucking legend of fucking Lebron fucking James. Derrick Rose what the fuck man, your the MVP and you gave us that shit bum fucking performance. You and the Bulls are a fucking embarrassment to life. Oh yea, sweet signing of Carlos Boozer I haven't seen anyone more defensively inept since Vin fucking Baker played on the Celtics drunk. I swear that signing was the worst thing that came out of last year. I would rather have Antoine Walkers broke ass out there than seeing you on the fucking bench during crunch time. My god. Now we are all hoping and praying that Dirk can stay on fucking fire and lose his fucking choking ways, because I swear to God if I have to watch LeBron fucking James say a victory speech I'm going to shoot myself in the fucking head. Seriously, I would rather fucking die then see that self absorbed, ego maniac, douchebag be happy.

Die

(waited 2 minutes came back because I still needed to get stuff off my chest)

Oh yea, Fuck ESPN, it burns a hole in my soul everytime they show this guy on the fucking television. yea he's been playing great, yea he's been clutch. He won the Eastern Conference Finals, not the Finals yet. Lets stop praising him like the Heat have won anything, it's fucking ridiculous. Today LeBron ruined any type of sports show for me, ESPn as a whole, and reading any other site than this and my fucking fantasy league. Good dammit I fucking hate him.

Die

Die

Fuck! The Heat Are In The Finals

I know there is still 1 game left, but the writing is on the wall.

I don't know why I watch the Eastern Conference Finals, I keep getting let down. LeBron is playing at the top of his game, he is making every right move and whenever the Bulls have a shot of taking the game they fuck up and do something stupid. They are completely vindicated of what happened last summer. I hate that.

With the game tied at 85 Derrick Rose takes a stupid one on one fade away and then in overtime they played like a bunch of assholes, turning the ball over, not being able to inbound the ball and awful shot selection.

So this means the the Miami Heat and LeBron are most likely going to face the Dallas Mavericks led by the German Shepherd (Dirk). So Dallas is my only hope to stop the Heat from the title. (The Thunder are toast)

God I fucking Hate LeBron

Got To Love Charles Barkley

We already heard Barkley go off on the Heat and call them cry babies, now he is after their fans...

"NBA legend Charles Barkley continues to hog the spotlight with his inflammatory words and actions. The TNT analyst gave taunting Miami fans a double-middle-finger salute Sunday, and then he offered this comeback: "They were telling me I suck. They were telling me I never won a championship. Like, 'Come on, give me something better than that, dude.' I always laugh at that statement, 'You didn't get a ring.' I'm like, 'Dude, you work at McDonald's. My life's a lot better than yours. You relax (WEEI).' "

HAHA, a very arrogant thing to say, but it's also true. Say what you want, but everything he says is usually the truth. Maimi fans suck, they are a bunch of bandwagon fans that can't even show up to the game on time. I have said it before and I'll say it again, "Please God, don't let the Heat win it all". It really would be more depressing then watching the Celtics get knocked out. I can't sit there and watch LeBitch make a victory speech.

Celtics vs Heat Preview

A lot was against us last game, Rondo was hurt, I didn't fill the good luck water cup next to the TV, Bmack continued on his refusal to Player of the Game the Tommy Award for his own reasons, but at the end of the day the Celtics are down 3-1 and have their backs against the wall in Miami. You know its serious because Red is the opening picture and that's exactly why I think the Celtics will rattle off 3 in a row and not go out without a fight.

People may not put a lot of thought or think this is very influential because it's cliche, but I believe in Celtic pride and that these guys do have Hearts of Champions. KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo all have too much pride, too much skill and too much heart to lose to these guys.

Two nights ago KG played his worst game as a Celtic, he won't/can't play like that again. I would also like to see Jermaine O'Neal get more playing time, especially at the end of the game. If we keep going small when Miami goes small we are playing their game. We need to commit to our toughness, our size and ability to play defense and play good transition offense. Not much else to say the Celtics take this one.

Celtics 100-87
Tommy Award: Kevin Garnett

My Thought On The Celtics

Last night sucked...

It sucked not only because the Miami Heat and LeBron beat us, but it could be the end of an era. The Big 3 had their run and it may be time that the Lakers and Celtics hand the ball off to the young kids and let them run with it for a bit. But I don't think it's as gloom as people are making it out to be.

After the game we got some great news from Doc:
"I'm leaning heavily toward coming back," said Rivers. "I haven't made that decision, but I can tell you, I probably will. I've kind of come to that over the last couple of weeks. You know I'm a Celtic and I love our guys. And I want to win again here. I'm competitive as hell and I have a competitive group."

I'm going to trust him on his word that he's going to be back so the dominoes are starting to fall.

The second thing is Rajon won't have a flamingo arm and be able to play with both hands. People will overlook his ineffectiveness due to the arm when they talk about this series, but mark my words, if we had a healthy Rondo we would have won game 4 and we certainly would have won last night. We didn't score in the last 4 and a half minutes. He is the catalyst for this offense puts all the players in the position they need to be in to have the shot or drive they need. Him not being 100% was completely evident on how important he is to this team.

The turnover, I don't expect to see Troy Murphy, Sasha Pavlovic, Jermaine O'Neal, Shaq, Carlos Arroyo, Von Wafer and Glen Davis back. I would do everything in my power to bring Delonte back on a short term contract and go from there. Jeff Green will be back next year for around 5 million so we have something to work with. I don' know what is going to happen with the CBA, but getting into that already is too much to think about so I'm not going to get into it.

Kendrick Perkins trade time. Anyone who believes Perkins would have made a damn difference in this series is a fool. I'm sick of hearing about toughness and what have you, we have Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo we have enough of that. Perkins was a fan favorite and a guy I was saddened to see go, I feel like I lost a family member, but it would have made no difference. Everyone is making him out to be Kendrick Abdul Jabar and forget that he wouldn't have played in the final quarter in any of the games, he couldn't score and was a decent rebounder at best. I'm not trying to bash Perkins but him main objective every game was to take up room and have a scowl on his face. People's response will be, "well if we had Perkins the outcome wouldn't have been any worse" True, but we still would have lost the series.

The last thing is the Danny factor. Danny needs to have a better off season because the most underrated move that happened last summer was Chris Wallace scooping up Tony Allen. If Tony Allen was still on this team we wouldn't have had to move for a forward and everything would be status quo. Bob said it true last night, we would have been better off with Rasheed Wallace and Tony Allen. I don't know who will be a free agent, what the CBA will bring and what trades can be made, I just know Danny will need to do something drastic.

Is It The Celtics Or The Large Coffee I Just Drank?

Woke up this morning and headed to work, grabbed my large ice coffee, drank it, sat down at my stupid fucking computer in my cubical and have felt jittery since. At first I thought it was just a caffeine burst, but I think we all know the true reason... the Celtics.

I don't think I have been this nervous for a game, well since Game 7 of the NBA Finals last year, because in a lot of ways this feels the same. Last year, we didn't know if Ray Allen and Paul Pierce would be back. We kept thinking "could this be the end?", a year later and I am right back to thinking the same way. Celticsblog.com referenced an article from Celticshub.com this morning, and it basically spells out exactly what we are feeling, but not really talking about...

"This might be the final night we’ll see Doc Rivers stalking the sidelines in front of the Boston bench. Kevin Garnett may choose to retire rather than wait out a lockout for the final half-season of his contract.

It seems increasingly certain that neither Jermaine O’Neal nor Shaquille O’Neal will play basketball beyond this spring. This may also be the final go-around for Glen Davis and Delonte West in Celtics’ uniforms. Both will be free agents this summer.

The 2011-12 Boston Celtics may be no more than Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley and eight other guys with whom Celtics fans have no history. Sure, that’s still three of the big four, but there would be an inestimable void without #5 on the court, should he decide to step away. Think at all the angst felt since the departure of Kendrick Perkins ." You can read the full article HERE.

Maybe it's not. Maybe Big Baby has played so poorly that he'll be right back on the Celtics bench last year instead of cashing in (as DP has said). Maybe the lockout won't happen and KG will play another year. Maybe Shaq will come back healthy, and Jermaine can find a way to hold himself together. I won't get into the whole Doc thing, because I think there is 0% chance he returns. But maybe there is another run left somehow in these old legs.

It's been an endless TV melodrama with this being the Celtics "final stand", and an "end of an era". Well, in a lot of ways it's really true.

As you can tell by now, I have ruled out that the jitters has anything to do with the ice coffee.

Yet, is this how it's going to end? At the hands of Lebron James? Maybe that's what's bugging me the most. This can't be it. This would be like Star Wars ending with Luke Skywalker getting decapitated by Vader, and a bunch of clones having a hoe down. No, this can't be it, not this way, not to HIM...

Maybe I just can't accept it, but I just feel some how, some way, the Celtics will send this back to Boston. Not going to get into how they will do it, as DP will have a preview later, but there is a feeling of optimism in me as the day progresses and hopefully the jitters are just anticipation (or coffee).
