Skeets, how can you talk about Tayshaun looking thin?
Tas, that’s the first time i’ve heard ‘et al.’ pronounced that way. Pretty funny.
LOL, tas’ imitation of “whoa boy” made me drop some fruit in my loop.
Flavor Flav for Official NBA Clock Consultant?
Tas is confusing Theo Ratliff with Jason Maxiell.
It’s Maxiell who said of Dwight Howard “but if you get down low on him and take his legs out from him, he’s not very powerful down low. … He’s got very strong, broad shoulders, but his legs are not very strong. So you get underneath him and you’ll be OK.”
Ratliff seconded Maxiell’s theory about beefy SFs being tough on tall men but he didn’t really talk any smack about Howard. If you call Ratliff saying “Rashard Lewis a small forward” talking smack then you should raise your smack threshold. Rashard Lewis is the same height as Hedo Turkolu and averaged fewer rebounds so either Orlando has no PF or it’s Turk.
IknowIknowIknow joejoejoe.
I’ve heard it several times already this morning. Guess I shoulda ate my Froot Loops.
Then I would’ve thought of that Flavor Flav joke. Nice work Brooks.
Ryne, how else could et al. be pronounced?
Has Tas been dipping into Skeets’ pep pills for the last several shows? I’m specifically talking about the high pitched “Ewwwwwwrrrright!”. Having you guys both amped up is kind of overwhelming. I like the contrast of chill Tas and hyped Skeets.
And while I’m complaining, what was inappropriate about my pictorial comment yesterday re: Chris Paul’s testicular fortitude vs. Bowen?
The Spurs coral CP3 in game one but get burned by Pedja and West. In game two, they take West out but get burned by CP3 and Pedja.
The Spurs dont have enough good young defensive players to cover everyone on NO.
Love the NO bench with Ely, Bonzi and Mr. instant Offense Mike James (5pts in 2mins) and Pargo and Wright might not be putting up the numbers but their contribution is crucial.
Yeah, Skeets! Do the math!
Mo-cifer, son of the morning
Mine ears have heard the glory. I’ve been hoping it’d come out all playoffs — thank you, Skeets. Now, if only I could get a remix featuring the dual talents of Def Leppard and Tim McGraw…
the spurs 3rd quarter issues are not new…its not the first time its happened this year, they just sometimes come out flat and look bloody awful.
i think its to do with having too long a nap at half time. what with them being old and all…
@IHABETIAAHTSFN: See, I always attributed it to Manu getting insufficient sunlight on his growing skull-top solar panel, thus leading to a lack of renewable energy he can share with his brethren like fresh, cold Sunny D.
Also, I’m pretty sure IABETIAAHTSFN is what Ken and Ryu said when they were doing hurricane kicks in Street Fighter 2.
@Borje Salming: Mr. instant Offense Mike James. That has to be a joke right? He came in in garbage time and started jacking threes with 17 seconds on the shot clock. That is instant offense? I am offended.
