Scottie Pippen’s Creepy Video
Some common sense advice when taking magic mushrooms:
1. Never take magic mushrooms when you are using prescription drugs.
2. Never take magic mushrooms when you are feeling depressed.
3. Never take magic mushrooms when you are searching for the latest Scottie Pippen video on YouTube.
Hold me, mommy.

Comments (1)Desmond Mason Is Afraid To Shoot
I just read something on Mavs Moneyball that nearly made me spit up my superior mediastinum:
Eddie Sefko throws out the possibility of DFW native Desmond Mason joining the Mavs next season. Fun Desmond Mason fact — he hasn’t attempted a three all season and is 2 for 9 outside 12 feet. NOT a good shooter…
Hold on a second. Let me rent a Zipcar, drive really, really fast and then jam on the breaks.
You’re telling me Desmond Mason has only made two shots from roughly 12-feet plus for the entire season? No. He’s only attempted nine of ‘em? Come on. This has to be some type of sick joke and/or typo, right?
Um, nope. Check out Mason’s NBA Hot Zone:
Yeah, this is probably a good time to remind you that Desmond Mason is officially listed as part SHOOTING guard! Holy fuck! He’s a shooting guard that doesn’t shoot!
I mean, I knew the guy loved that stupid little one-handed running/jump hook in lane, but seriously — nine shots from just a few feet outside the key? No threes? Unbelievable. Hitch or no hitch.

Ep. 128: When Checking Your Mail, Be Protected
We received this nasty smelling package once — or maybe that was just Skeets’ odor while dressed in this outfit.
The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 128 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Skeets and I dig deep in to the mail bag. Did Steve Nash win the MVP because he’s white? Where will the next NBA franchise be located? Is Skeets’ “Whoa Boy” line getting on people’s nerves? And much, much, more…
We also hear a wild idea about what we look like, hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night and realize the Celtics might not be blowing anything.

All in all, a nice lil’ morning show.
