Ep. 327: Put That Notch On Your Bed Post
The Basketball Jones — NBA Finals, Game 4 — Episode 327 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Skeets and I breakdown Game 4 of the Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals. We discuss, um, I don’t know, maybe the game/comeback of the season? Was there nothing the Lakers could do? Where was the MVP? We’ll get to the bench no one was giving credit to, Doc versus Phil, and a whole lot more. We really need a longer show sometimes. Enjoy.

The only thing I am certain, is that in this series, the MVP so far has been Ray Allen…
His destroyed Bryant in the defensive end, and he’s the one making the big shots too, at least the only one that’s being hitting shots EVERY game…
What do you think?

Tas, you give me entirely too much credit — my presence was strong during the fourth quarter of last night’s BDL live blog. As for my decision, Rounders said it best:
Mike McD: If you had it to do all over again, knowing what would happen, would you make the same choice?
Petrovsky: What choice?
Luckily, my lady is phenomenal and agreed to a raincheck — but it’s going to cost me.
Tas, I was thinking the exact same thing: why didn’t I remember that heart matters? Or more specifically, why didn’t I remember that defense is more important than offense? I’ve been blinded by the showtime lights, and it’s like I abandoned my principles and what I believe in. Thanks, Celtics, for brining me back.
I know I’m a total douche for loving him, but I wish you guys had talked about Odom’s start. I find this guy fascinating; like sheed, he can be the best player of the floor, but only is about 3% of the time. But unlike sheed, its not his lack of competitive nature. I’m really not sure what it is that holds him back, but I think its worth thinking about. Regardless, his first quarter was brilliant to watch, and was just as interesting to watch him struggle late in the game when it seemed like it was time for Kobe to take over.
Sorry that’s long winded. What a great fucking game.
Obviously, I hadn’t listened to the end of the show when I wrote that comment. Suck my balls.
@ Javier: I think it’s a coin flip between Pierce and Allen right now — yes, Ray has been remarkably consistent all series and he was all the C’s had in Game 3 while Pierce shot Starksian, but the Truth’s offensive performances in Boston and his second-half D on Kobe last night probably make up for one off night.
Lost in the shuffle of the unbelievable game was the choices made by the Lakers music guy. I can’t tell if he was an idiot or a genius.
By that I mean that as the fans were sitting there completely deflated, he kept throwing on these horribly peppy, cheesey tunes, almost as if he wasn’t watching the game. Although he did throw on “What You Waiting For?” at one point in the fourth, which was funny. But could have been unintentional. Hence the confusion.
These were useless comments.
Some sympathy for Gasol on the last play, he had to leave KG open some 8 feet from the hoop. Bad, slow moves on his part, but understandable. Not understandable: The Matador Machine, The Zen Monster, and Black Mama’s Boy (I’m clever, you see). Oh, and whenever someone completely and utterly chokes, can we call it being Odom’d? We already got Rondo’d, what’s wrong with Odom’d?
I’d be a rich man if I had a nickel for every time i texted HOUSE to the number 38657 last night.
The machine malfunctioned on that last defensive play.
That VanGundy point at the court was hilarious.
The Machine was guarded by Nedd Ludd last night. It was unusable.
I thought Odom’s problem with the long term cloud of smoke that surrounds him
Killer music today JD!
I’m pretty sure James Worthy was the first “Big Game James”.
Kudos to James Winger though for always stepping up when there was one piece of chicken left in the KFC bucket and everybody was already stuffed. As Ron-Dog once stated, that guy had to be on knocking 300 all through high school.
Doc Rivers winning the NBA Finals might lead me to drinking again and I had to do something to cheer myself up, so I do what every guy does in that situation… check out some hotties on the net, preferably with very little clothes.
And even in the midst of all those glorious breasts (except for Tom Brady’s chick who looks like a tranny), more NBA talk still seeped through.
It seems like Adrianna Lima, hot supermodel chick, is getting engaged to Marko Jaric.
My question is: would you marry her just so you can bang the world’s sexiest virgin (so she claims) and then dump her?
Sure, its probably more work than most pro players are used to but have you seen Lima?
Anyways, anything so I dont have to think about Rivers winning a championship with Tom Thibodeau’s hand stuck up River’s ass.
I am surprised no one on the BDL Live Blog saw Mike Breen being called out by JVG for ducking when ABC showed a replay of Derek Fisher diving into a cameraman. Straight Pussy should be that guy’s new nickname. Don’t you like the ring of that, Mike “Straight Pussy” Breen?
JVG: “Mike, you don’t have to duck! It’s a replay, for crying out loud!”
Mark: “I know you’re better than that Mike.”
Mike: “Just imagining how our cameraman [Cameraman’s name] must have felt. Attaboy [Cameraman’s name]!”
