    Skeets, why do you have to hate on P.J. Carlesimo in the headlines?

    Zeppelin + “New Slang” = J.D., WINNAR!

    By the way, Finley grew up outside Chicago and has sung “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley … the anthropomorphic billy goat theory gains steam!

    And boys: Any official comment on Mike Woodson’s loud, public displeasure at Horford’s ROY “snub”? According to Ep. 293, Tas, you agree in principle, but do you think Woodson puffing his chest out and getting on Sportscenter with his disagreement does anything to add some more fuel to the young Hawks?

    Correction: The Hornets did win in SA this year. By a lot.

    What is the name of the Mobb Deep feat. Kanye song you played at one of the breaks. It’s been on my computer for like 3 years as “new shit”. I NEED that title! Thanks.

    NOH beat the bejezzus out out of the Spurs twice this year, as JD said, by plenty. Hhhhmm. Seems like the Cavs did the same in the regular season last year. How’d that work out in the play-offs, eh? Love the Jones. You break the wind beneath my wings. ptfo, roy

    Uh, meant J.E. Friggin ergonomic keyboard….

    The Wanker o’ the week should be none other than David Stern, or maybe Stu Jackson, for not suspending players that left the bench during the Garnett-Zaza spat. Way to be consistent. I’m not really a Suns fan and I’m pissed.

    @Dave: Or perhaps the same gentlemen, for their decision to suspend Darius Songaila for what amounted to an incidental love tap (hat tip, Ryne).

    Clarify for me, if possible, gents: Wasn’t playoff basketball once where the big boys played?

    Skeets, your WOW award would go to a reporter who didnt check his facts? You could give hundreds awards a week then.
    On the other hand, if Sam Mitchell got the team to take an eaaaarly flight because he wanted to get a round of golf, it wins. Of course, since its not confirmed, Tas could very well be next week’s WOW, which leaves me in a quandary; If true, then Smitch can be axed and if its not, then you get to call him Wanker of (next) Week for giving a WOW award based on a false story. It’s a win-win.

    Besides, Karl Malone has to win. Sure, he’s retired and deadbeat dads arent exactly unheard of in the NBA but if Malone got Demetrius Bell’s mother pregnant at 12, how doenst he trump all wankers?
