Prez of the USA, fantastic!
Whoever was the music man today was spectacular. PUSA, Vampire Weekend, and Mars Volta? Very nice, how much.
Wow….Vampire Weekend and Presidents of the United States of America BACK-to-BACK wow JD, today is a great day.
Oklahoma City Carpetbaggers
Needs more Traxamillion.
How about the Oklahoma City Internet Fightstarters?
Just when you thought the the good ship Jones had sailed through the choppy waters of Seattle/OKC vitriol, our skippers start steering for icebergs.
Sorry guys, but whoever gets the match with T.O. in teh first round is going to have an easy 4-0 series win.
As for the Hornets and their inexperience, I just worry that in such a difficult conference, if they’re mesmerized by the big lights or the intensity of the postseason for even a quarter, a game/series may swing to the other team.
@ Ryne: Who asked you? Not me. Not Skeets. Not JD.
Yes! Love Xs and Os with Stan Van Gundy!
The bottom half of the EC playoffs is just plain bad.
I mean, sure, could Phila, TO or the Wiz show up on any given night and steal a win or two? But the chances are low
@Ryne: I’d like to think I asked, but I beg to differ, TO could steal 1 from Orlando.
Also: over on BDL I think BOOM THO! has a great point about the D-League being a AAA league. There are too many good college players who don’t get a shot.
Check out yesterdays link on True Hoop to a Swedish blog that chronicles the Euro-career of Torey Thomas (former White Plains/Holy Cross standout PG).

You’re a wealth of knowledge today BMatt.
Let me help out too. Rumor has it, the Raps are starting Ford & Nesterovic over Calderon and Bargnani tonight. (Sorry, felt like being a homer).
oklahoma city flaming lips :p
Wealth of knowledge maybe….but that means that Diabetes research suffers. Oh well…maybe they should give me something to do, so I have to actually get off my ass.
@Tas: A completely valid concern — but I wonder if that’s at all mitigated by the fact that the guy who’s going to have the ball in his hands, make pretty much all of the decisions, and probably take most of the big shots in those games is an MVP-caliber player.
Sorry guys, but whoever gets the match with T.O. in teh first round is going to have an easy 4-0 series win.
Hahahahaha … name your price, Ryne!
PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!
Wow, not only shoes I just bought on Friday, but some used J.E. Skeets apparel! You guys are the Flight of the Conchords of podcasts!
By the way, thats not sarcasm, I really want that shirt with the otter on it badly.
You guys are the Flight of the Conchords of podcasts!
Please go submit that as a TBJ iTunes review!
JD has been on fire all week!
New Pornos, Rogue Wave, The National… keep it up JD.
@ J.E.: I’ll come up with 10 more of those kwinkydinks and put them on your iTunes review for the otter shirt. Deal or no deal?
Dream on, Bilal. That otter shirt is money.
Any retailer man? Is it similar to the one I linked to? What is your so-called otter doing?
@ Bilal: I am thinking for along these lines. Don’t look at the guy.

Oops. I meant “I am thinking along these lines.”
Saw that too. Seems more Skeetish. Honestly, if I could match a face to Skeets voice without knowing what he looks like, I’d pick along the lines of that guy/extreme sports athlete Shaun White.
