It was pretty funny last night, when 'Sheed got his technical foul, he pitched a fit on a play where he clearly dribbled off his own foot.

I've been gone for a few long weekends and all the chat boards made me log back in. Maybe after a certain amount of time, cookies expire to the point where one has to re-register.

Well, the real Pistons finally suited up and the Bulls went quietly. With a few improvements I imagine Chicago will be back in the hunt next year. Detroit will breeze through Jersey or Cleveland, and get a tired opponent in the Finals. The Pistons are sitting pretty.

I'm lucky enough to be able to play all types of music in the office, but I usually try to keep it as universal as possible. I don't overdo it with jazz. One time I played about an hour of Brazilian music and a co-worker asked me, "Dude, what are you doing to us?"

That is what they said, Patrick. I thought Horry just protected himself from a charging Raja Bell...

Time Warner has announced the sale of the Atlanta Braves to Liberty Media.

Clear as mud! Just kidding, it makes sense. That doesn't mean it isn't a stupid rule.

Horrible news. I'm sorry about your friend, 7/4. I hope his killers receive a just punishment. Edited for Epistrophy's comment.

Brutal collapse by the Suns, they had this game in the bag and ran out of gas. Sure could have used Amare and Boris...

Yeah, Simmons nailed it.

Best case Lakers scenario: trade Andrew Bynum + picks for JKidd. Trade Kwame Brown to Kings for Artest. Trade Lamar Odom, Jordan Farmar, Brian Cook, whoever the fuck else it takes for Kevin Garnett. Sign a quality veteran or two looking to compete for the minimum. Throw Smush Parker's bags into the Staples Center parking lot and have him escorted from the premises. Starting lineup features Kobe, Garnett, Artest, and JKidd.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Even if it isn't true, it was a fairly fun read. I enjoyed the part about how he creatively barricaded his room and the remote-controlled car locking system for the sliding door.

Happy Birthday!

Alexander's bringing a real gun instead of the cheap prop they provided. That ought to increase the tension on stage! Get 'em Alex!

I hate seeing any player get hurt. I hate it even worse if I accidentally hurt someone else when I'm playing, and would never do it intentionally. So, purposely stepping under someone's foot to make them roll an ankle is about as chump as it gets, in my book.

True, you've still got to pump iron--but the results won't be as dramatic nearly as quickly. That's what I meant by "earned."

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

Not sure Agg, let's ask "Starbury."

Recently picked up this comp which has a few cool Shuggie Otis tracks. More funky schtuff.

Bowen once jumped under Kobe's feet on a jumper in a playoff game, causing him to turn an ankle. It appeared deliberate to me. He's not above this sort of thing, imo.

This series is in the refrigerator. The door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are getting cool, the butter's getting hard, and the jelloooooooooo's jiggling.

Thanks Dan. I haven't read up on this stuff. The superhuman muscles weren't earned in the weight room. It's a shame. I remember McGwire's forearms were friggin' surreal, like calves. Remember how Brady Anderson got all huge and hit 50 homers? He must be the same story.
