    Old Stephon? You mean the guy that never won anything? The one that was sulking in Minnesota? The one that played for New Jersey and Phoenix, and when he left these teams immediately got better?

    Yeah, that guy is awesome.

    Skeets, you need to continue calling Duncan “Timmy Duce Can” forever… =)

  3. Ryne Nelson at 11:14 am on 05.13.2008

    Oh, and Tas, you cracked me up when you said: “LeBron James can do whatever he wants…most of the time.”

  4. Ryne Nelson at 11:27 am on 05.13.2008

    Sorry about all the little post today, gents. But I *definitely* have to agree with you, Skeets.

    Best NBA videos games, EVER:

    1) NBA Jam TE
    2) NBA Live ‘95

    “With no regard for human life!” used to be shouted by Marv Albert in NBA Jam Tournament Ed. for Sega Genesis….loved it then, love it more now.

    FYI the Scalabrine rap was on the WZLX (classic rock station) morning show…I pulled my co-worker into the room. It was his TBJ initiation.

    I think that the Knicks REALLY need a young PG because Starbury is horrible and this team is Lottery Bound for the foreseeable future anyway, so might as well train somebody to play in Pringles’ system.

    12 minute quarters?!?!?! Skeets…seriously? what are the scores: 221-195? I would think it was strange that Garbagejosa can average the quadruple double.

    Nba Live 2005, NBA Jam 98, NBA Showtime 2000

    stop playing NBA Live, start playing NBA 2K8

  9. Tiny at 11:45 am on 05.13.2008

    C’mon,
    2K8 blows NBA Live out of the water. No contest. That is, as far as current games go. As far as nostalgia, Bill Lambier combat basketball is the way to go.

    Live 2005 was good. As was 95, 97, and 00.

    I watched the Hornets as much as the Suns this year and love Chris Paul’s game but is he really the best defensive PG in the NBA (the others are SGs)? I’d love to hear who people think are the best 3 or 5 defensive PGs.

    Tas: the Ray Allen you speak off was younger and he couldnt support the team with his ankles now.
    KG taking over a 4th? Pierce is ‘too’ tired or ‘chronic-ally’ tired?

    Donnie has to do a major cleanup. Cutting Starbury and trading Zack and Eddy is the most obvious but how many players did B.Colangelo bring to TO the year of the big cleanup? 7 or 8? Raps had one upn coming star, cleared out all the trash and Toronto was on top of the JV Atlantic in 2 years so its been done. I’m just hoping the Knicks luck out with a top pick, we need a good ping pong ball controversy. What the hell is Old Stephon? At what point in his career have you thought he wasnt a cancer?

  12. Will at 1:14 pm on 05.13.2008

    Best defensive PGs? I think you’ve gotta look a Baron, whose quickness and strength make him almost impossible to break down (when he gives a shit). Same goes for Billups, though it’s more strength than quick feet. The better quick guys are Paul and Harris, right? Deron is somewhere in between.

  13. becky at 1:14 pm on 05.13.2008

    yeah, in the press conference right now, they’re really playing up the “fit the system to the personnel” angle while at the same time you can practically hear D’Antoni thinking, “If Marbury is still here by training camp, I will fucking murder someone.”

  14. Alec Wilde at 3:27 pm on 05.13.2008

    NBA 2k8 is definently the best basketball game. It is so in-depth it is absolutely RIDICULOUS.

    Excuse me for the Jim Rome excitement. But 2k8 is really great.

  15. Cold Money at 4:00 pm on 05.13.2008

    Nikola is a masculine name you ignorant cunts! Serbia represent!

  16. Bilal at 4:19 pm on 05.13.2008

    Your Marv impersonation is great, Tas.

  17. J.E. Skeets at 8:55 pm on 05.13.2008

    Jeesh, “Cold Money” must be a woman’s name. So sensitive.

  18. Cold Money at 11:19 pm on 05.13.2008

    So angry now! Feel my exclamation points!!!!

  19. MTL Dave at 9:25 am on 05.14.2008

    I know a German girl named Nicola.

  20. onekingdown at 10:39 am on 05.14.2008

    I know 10 girls named Nicola. Serbia STFU and sit you ass down!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chetnik!

  21. Cold Money at 12:57 am on 05.15.2008

    Chetnik? You’ve only succeeded in showing your ignorance. I come from a mixed family. If you want to propagate your hateful stereotypes, have the balls to do it offline and go fight your holy war elsewhere. Loser!

    As far as the name goes, Nikola Tesla wins any argument. BOOM. (It was a joke, not an invitation to argue over the name, you dummies. I suspect Skeets got it.)
