    Dr. Dog….overrated?

    I think that Skiles is the coach I would most like to emulate. He actually gets players to hustle, until they hate him. Its a shame that players give up on Scottie because he’s exactly what the NBA needs in a coach.

    Shift + F7 brings up the thesaurus.

    on the kirilenko flop at the end of the rockets/jazz game, from what i recall seeing:

    - the whistle went a couple seconds before jackson got the shot off - it was blown before the ball was swung to jackson out of the corner. the commentators didn’t hear it, but it was clearly heard on the broadcast.

    - scola was blocking AK from getting to the corner using his arms but had his arms too high and accidently backhanded AK in the face. kirilenko didn’t flop, he just recoiled from getting hit in the face, and scola had the bad luck to do it right in front of the baseline ref.

    … and a drop down list of other options, including a dictionary.

    I’ll show myself out now.

    I can’t believe today’s caller requested the presence of Brent Musburger. Musburger is easily the worst announcer alive today. GOD AWFUL. I only wish Marv Albert could announce every game.

    Fair enough.

    One day, when McGrady is named “Man of the Century” by the National Chronic Fatigue Association, you guys are going to feel like real jerks.

    In news of commentators, Bill Rafferty is doing the game on NBA TV right now. ONIONS!

    How do you guys feel about all of the free advertising you’re getting from House of Payne commercials?

    Is it just me or are the Spurs the gayest team of all time. Flopping, cheap shots, Tim Duncan’s adolescent awkwardness, whining to the refs about everything, getting every call, allowed to hack away to their hearts content. All gayness starting 5: Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Thomas, Bowen. Name me a more annoying starting 5 and I’ll give you a dollar

  14. andrew the andrew bogut hater at 10:14 am on 04.23.2008

    a more annoying starting five:

    dave, dave, dave, dave, dave.

    with supersub dave coming off the bench.
