Ep. 321: Cool Change


The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 321 (.mp3)

On today’s show, Skeets and I discuss the fall of the champs: Why did that Spurs’ 17-point lead never feel safe? Will Kobe get some media love? Did Phil out coach Pop? We also feel the pain of most Bulls fans, take a call about the East, and much, much more. Enjoy!

    Seriously guys, that new promo sucks.

    « James Naismith is hung………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. like …………………………. a ………………………………………………………………………….. horse. »

    Does that even mean anything?

    Nevertheless, great job as always.

    I dig the pix.
    Didnt know that Lyle Lovett sings with Alyssa Milano.

    Props to the Rapist/stoolie!!

    @MTL Dave: It’s about penises.

    I’ve yet to listen to today’s show (I’m about to plug in), but I’m intrigued to hear discussion about the Zen Master’s forcing Greggggggg out of the closet.

    What’s that, you say? You meant “outcoach,” as in “coach better than”? Not “out coach,” as in “let everyone know the coach is gay”?

    Ahem.

    /shows self out

    I love it when you say “Robert Whorey” Skeets.
    That’ll teach him for trying to sneak a silent H in his name.

    @ Devine: Seriously? Wow.

    Other than saying that Canadians and/or inventors of basketball have big dicks, it’s not really funny or entertaining.

    Although it is true that us Canadians have giant penises. Not the Greeks, though.

    On the Doug Collins front: Bulls management really seems to have followed the caller’s advice from, oh, say, 20 Joneses ago (forgive me for forgetting your name, kind sir) — that if there are better coaching options in the broadcasting ranks than on your bench, you’re in trouble. I’d probably have gone for JVG, but hey, I’ve never hit a game-winning three ball on a sweet feed from MJ.

    @MTL Dave: I guess humor’s in the ears of the belist’ner, friendo — personally, I laugh every time I hear that stinger. By the way, I appreciate the clarification on the size of Canadian trouserbeef.

    Wow! I thought the “Tim Duncan sucks” call 2 weeks ago was the WTF Award winner but Mike nudges him just for the sheer amount of wrongness. I’m not a big fan of the Rapist or his excellency Darth Jackson but dude lay of the crack pipe and give them their due especially their bench. You sound like a fanboi.

    Honestly, most people could care less who wins in the least, just get it over it, people love watching the west. Watching Garnett and the small three struggle every second game against at team that may or may not show up on any given night, watchin putrid shooting and multiple disappearing acts, hearing BS excuses like “they think they can turn it on whenever they want” .its ok, I can do without this crap, Im not a Knicks fan. I thought that maybe I had a bias, a built in mechanism due to the fact that the east has been both horrible and boring this past decade and that its almost a defense mechanism. Its not.

    Watching Kevin Garnett take two shots in the last 3mins of a tight game, a 21ft falling backwards and WHILE posting Prince settling for a weak hook shot from 12ft, doesnt interest me.
    Nor does trying to figure out which Rasheed will show up.
    I just finished watching a 4 week run where the Spurs have played the Suns, the Hornets and the Lakers so I fart on your eastern conference.
    It is meaningless, dull and totally unentertaining when compared to the west.

    And why couldnt Manu have a bad series? Its the kind of preconceived bullshit that annoys.
    A player you like doesnt play well and hes a this and a that. A player you like doesnt play well and oh, he MUST be hurt. Its not even the part where you act like a Manu nuthugger taht is the problem but its that you taint all your other interventions with this illogical and bias reasoning. Dont forget Reggie Miller never missed a shot and Bowen has never been beaten one on one.

    @ Devine:

    If you look closely, his pocket square matches his clipboard. That’s how you can tell.

  12. Devine at 1:43 pm on 05.30.2008

    @ Gourmet Spud: With that sort of fashion sense and attention to detail, maybe he can dissuade Hinrich from wearing the fucking black socks/white sneakers combo that makes him look like a kid who forgot a change of clothes and had to practice in his Catholic school uniform.

    “Impressive ankles are the key to being an elite point guard, son.”

    I’ve had Lenny Kravitz in my head all fucking day. Thanks a lot, JD. Jerk.

  14. Alan at 7:03 pm on 05.30.2008

    I feel like Terry Porter would have been a great fit with a young team like Chicago

  15. Jimmy at 1:54 am on 05.31.2008

    @MTL Dave,

    yeah seriously

    it should of been:

  16. Alec Wilde at 11:43 am on 05.31.2008
