While we patiently wait for the Nielsen ratings to come out, jump over to Raptors.com to watch a super-short version of ‘Full Court Press’ starring The Basketball Jones very own Tas(sos) Melas. Be careful though … that collar will getcha!

(Great work, Tas.)

    THAT IS THE TAS? HOLY F’N SHIT SKEETS! I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE TAS WAS A BALD, FAT

  2. Bilal at 6:50 pm on 03.13.2008

    GLASSES/POLO/SANDAL WEARING PODCAST DISRESPECTFUL PODCAST GOD! THAT IS FAR FROM WHAT I EXPECTED! THAT GUY LOOKS RESPECTABLE! WOW!!!

  3. Natalie at 7:01 pm on 03.13.2008

    Certainly the best dressed on RapsTV, well done Tas.

    Tas, when you look longingly into my eyes/the camera, I feel the sexual tension between us. With those sexy stares, and that dick in a box facial hair, I can’t help but bone out for you, daddy.

  5. Matt, your friendly Bulls blogger at 7:34 pm on 03.13.2008

    The double-point was fantastic.

    Bilal I don’t get you, Tas looks like a well-groomed Garbajosa, which is remarkably close to how I drew him on the back cover of my social studies notebook.

  6. Jorge at 7:47 pm on 03.13.2008

    Great work Razzama-Tas.

    I’m going to buy a Melas jersey and tuck it into my pants.

  7. Alec Wilde at 8:12 pm on 03.13.2008

    Why can’t Skeets go on Full Court Press?

  8. Alex aka new boston big 3 fan at 8:39 pm on 03.13.2008

    for seome reason the video dont work here , holly cammoly tas, esai kala? ur looking good man , i thought of u one fat sluvlaki eater, u seriously got the looks for working on espn and a cool name

  9. sharky at 8:40 pm on 03.13.2008

    Awesome. BTW, whichever one of you was saying the Suns victory over the Spurs on Sunday was basically meaningless is totally dead on. The Spurs would win that series 4-1.

  10. Bilal at 8:49 pm on 03.13.2008

    How many times did you say shots when talking about bargnani?

  11. Charles at 9:15 pm on 03.13.2008

    Great job Tas, but I gotta say you look much more cleaned up than I expected.

  12. Bilal at 9:29 pm on 03.13.2008

    Matt: Social Studies? I so took that three years ago in the seventh grade? And don’t even get me started with your lowly Bulls either. Tas comes off as a 40-year old virgin on the show(no offense Tas) and I was simply surprised to see him groomed up and not looking like he just came back from a Bloody Mary marathon on St. Patrick’s Day. Have fun until the first week of April, because that’s as far as Chicago’s going to go this year, unlike my “fighting for a 4 spot, but will probably get the 5 and face Toronto anyways” Wizards. Be happy the “Saying Goodbye” segment didn’t include the Bullshits today and that you guys have like a 4% chance of landing Michael Beasley in the draft, which are usually good enough odds to win it, as shown previously by the Bucks. Thanks for letting me get it off my chest, friendly Bulls blogger.

  13. Sean at 9:30 pm on 03.13.2008

    When I hear Tas, he sounds exactly like Brian Posehn to me, so to see him as NOT a middle-aged, balding aryan dude with horn-rimmed glasses is disconcerting.

    Otherwise, great showing.

  14. Bilal at 9:34 pm on 03.13.2008

    Oh, I almost forgot. Great input, Tas. Those 6 minutes made my day, in terms of being fed with Raps info. But it’s not like you boys devote 20% of your show to it.

  15. murphs at 9:59 pm on 03.13.2008

    looking good tas SOS, u got some talent there mate, loved the outfit as well/stubble. now if we could only see what that rat skeeters looks like

  16. i hate andrew bogut even though i'm australian and have the same first name at 10:02 pm on 03.13.2008

    my illusions have been shattered.

    in a good way.

  17. admiral31 at 10:43 pm on 03.13.2008

    OK, I had the following pictures of the Jones boys in my head:

    Tas - The dude from “Saved by the Bell” (not the blonde one, or Screech) with the tight gentleman’s perm.

    JD - The “Young George Costanza” from the Seinfeld episode where George has to pick someone to win the Susan Ross Scholarship.

    Skeets - No one that I can really pinpoint, although he sounds like a guy that always wears baseball caps.

    I vote for a photo gallery at TBJ so we can put faces to JD and Skeets!

  18. Bilal at 10:51 pm on 03.13.2008

    @ admiral31- Or a complete About Us Section!

  19. Bilal at 10:55 pm on 03.13.2008

    EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY REPLY TO MATT, AKA “Mr. Friendly Bulls Blogger,” please.

  20. becky at 11:07 pm on 03.13.2008

    I’d hit it. Twice.

  21. miestersean at 11:11 pm on 03.13.2008

    I am still really confused as to whether “Tas Melas” is a pseudonym or not . . .

  22. miestersean at 11:19 pm on 03.13.2008

    And for the curious, this has been out for a while . . . http://www.yaysports.com/nba/2006/07/today_is_a_holiday.html

  23. C. Blake at 11:26 pm on 03.13.2008

    Good segment, although that Brian guy got waay to much time, considering he commented like John Madden.

  24. Alec Wilde at 11:40 pm on 03.13.2008

    The guy in the middle C. Blake? I agree. He wasn’t very professional, he stuttered and wasn’t making sense. Like you said he kept repeating the same thing like Madden.

  25. Gourmet Spud at 12:03 am on 03.14.2008

    Just watched it, great job Tas. A natural in the sytle of Butch Reed.

  26. Gourmet Spud at 12:04 am on 03.14.2008

    That’s right, I said “sytle”.

  27. Dylan M at 12:35 am on 03.14.2008

    “Alright. Here we go. Just keep your diamond hands. You can do this, it’s going to be allllright. I heard my name! Shoot the finger guns! Waiting for my turn, and here we go: Ok, looking at the camera, looking at the camera. They changed cameras. Shit. Turn slowly. Looking at the camera. Emphasize. My. Points. With. My. Hands. I bet these other douches think Macabi is some liberal arts college in Conneticut. And hold the diamond hands.”

  28. J.E. Skeets at 12:40 am on 03.14.2008

    Hahahahahahahahhahahhahahahha … get Dylan a ball claw STAT, Diamond Hands!

  29. Saad at 1:59 am on 03.14.2008

    YOU MENTIONED GARBO!!! YOU MENTIONED GARBO!!! WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!
    You’re my boy, Tas!

  30. Corey at 3:35 am on 03.14.2008

    Ok. This has nothing to do with Tassos being really awesome on Raps live, but bear with me:

    Amanda from Madison:

    My name is Corey, and I am also from Madison. You should look me up. Seriously. Think about it.

  31. Matt W. at 4:33 am on 03.14.2008

    “Tas looks like a well-groomed Garbajosa”

    Seriously. And he has the Garbo jersey to boot, right? Please tell me you’ve tried wearing it to a club …

  32. joejoejoe at 9:07 am on 03.14.2008

    Your name would be awesome for Wheel of Fortune.

    Contestant: I’d to buy an S, Pat.
    Pat Sajak: There are 4 Ss. [Ding-ding-ding-ding, Vanna turns over the letters]
    Contestant: Wooooo! I’d like solve. TASSOS MELAS.

  33. RBeezy at 9:20 am on 03.14.2008

    Tas, you looked a little nervous, like Shaq at the free throw line or Antoine walker near a buffet…

    Great points though.

  34. settons at 9:54 am on 03.14.2008

    Rumour has it, Carlos Delfino thinks you’re cute

  35. Tas Melas at 10:06 am on 03.14.2008

    Great stuff, peoples. Thanks for the love, even you Carlos. A 40-year-old virgin, Mario Lopez, a better groomed Jorge Garbajosa, diamond hands… I think I can retire. I’m the legendary Tass-iss (it’s Tas-sohs). And, to take the spotlight off me, please visit here once again: http://www.yaysports.com/nba/2006/07/today_is_a_holiday.html

  36. MATTO at 10:14 am on 03.14.2008

    Hey Melas! You have a face for podcasting.

    Great job.

  37. Brian W at 10:25 am on 03.14.2008

    I’m going to have to go to work drunk today to avoid thinking about Skeet’s neck and Tas’s facial hair.

  38. Dave at 10:47 am on 03.14.2008

    Nice job Tassos!

    You should use that name on the podcast, way more badass. The way that guy pronounced it though, you might be the first Greek person he’s ever talked to. What a tool.

  39. christoff at 1:47 pm on 03.14.2008

    That was awesome. Not nearly enough chest hair for a Greek though: it’s supposed to look like it’s trying to escape through the top of your shirt.

    …or maybe that’s just me

  40. phdribble at 2:19 pm on 03.14.2008

    Brilliant job Tassles. We’re all rootin for you! And next time Brian says that AP is the most poised player in the Lig, can you punch him in the mouth?

  41. phdribble at 2:20 pm on 03.14.2008

    also glad to see you graduated from the Jim Rome Beard-Trimming School of Design

  42. Jamie Mottram at 7:06 pm on 03.14.2008

    Hey Tas, you did good, man.

  43. OLI at 7:47 pm on 03.14.2008

    Tas Melas is a legend!

    woooopaaaa!

    great job

  44. mando at 3:08 pm on 03.15.2008

    tas –

    dude, do you shave your hairline and beard like that everyday? u look like a lego character with the square features… which is odly, way differant from what i expected which is a lot like the COMIC BOOK SHOP guy from the simpsons.

    – mando

  45. Chris at 3:32 am on 03.16.2008

    Tas isn’t fat?

    And what about Skeets? What’s he look like?

  46. Chris at 3:37 am on 03.16.2008

    And for the record, I imagine Skeets as an older J.T. from Degrassi: The Next Generation

  47. The CanAdian at 12:59 am on 03.18.2008

    your show is awesome keep up the good work! Tas you looked great on the show. Why wasn’t skeets on to??
