Glad to see the ladies sitting next to LeBron are so concerned by his obviously great pain

Tuesday Night BAD. Let's do this thing. But just know this much: yes, there are nude pictures of Greg Oden floating around (as noted in this morning's comments). I will not, however, post the links here. We have far too much class and dignity to do something like that. Now, let's move on and laugh at pictures of men in comprimising positions that look like sexual positions only to people with the mind of a 13 year old.

Worst of the Night in Pictures:

With a first name like "Robin," I expected Lopez to be on the other end of this man love experience

Ref: "Ronnie James Dio rocks!!"
Dragic: "What?? Come on, man! He's like 4'8"!"


Nationally Televised Games:
Lakers at Wizards Generals Bullets: Point: The Lakers are on a 5-5 stretch and don't look terribly impressive on the road. Counterpoint: Washington is awful.

All The Other Games:
Timberwolves at Knicks: The Bricks need to redeem themselves after losing by a half-century at home to the Mavs. The Timberpoops haven't won on the road since before Christmas. This could be fun. Or not at all.

Bucks at Mavericks: The Mavs have owned the Bucks recently. And just remember: Dirk Nowitzki was drafted by Milwaukee... then swapped for Tractor Traylor.

Bobcats at Suns: The Bobcats have allowed over 119 PPG and are 0-5 at Phoenix since the team was formed in '04-'05. Now watch Phoenix go and blow this one. This team is goddamn infuriating. Aside from one fluke win against the Rockets, their only wins in January have been against the Kings, Bucks, Nyets, and Warriors. Horrible.

Warriors at Kings Purple Paupers: Alright Sacramento. Playing Golden State at home gives you a, ahem, golden opportunity to win. Don't piss it away.

Don't worry, the purple paupers will find a way to tarnish accessible fortune.

They really have to thank Denver from preventing them from working on a perfect decade...

Robin Lopez is SWATTIN' that @$$!

That Tractor Traylor crap gets mentioned by every single opposing tv crew when the mavs are on the road. Literally EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.

Why don't they come up with something new? Like his head-to-head record in babies vs. Kidd? (currently 0:4) Or his Carcount vs. Josh Howard? (1:16)...
Anything but that dead ol' Horse that is Bigbutt Traylor. pullllleaaaaazzzzzz.

man, wolves vs knicks is like the bawful game of the century

Blogger chris said...
John: Nah, there was Knicks-Nyets with the own-goal attempt...and the Nyets-Wolves match that started the year (and guaranteed that Team Clothesline would be doing 300% better now).

It's been a while since a story has bloomed that fast, during work hours on a weekday too! Less than 6 hours in, the Oden video had 225k views! The comments on the page are some of the stupidest on the Internet too, including discussions of what "normal size" is for a 7 footer.

Check out the Wolves-Knicks game. The Wolves are so bawful they are losing 19-4 to the Knicks. A reserve (Pavlovic) scored before all of the Wolves starters. MAJOR FAIL! Has that ever happened before?

Rambis also subbed in 4 reserves for the starters at the same time, leaving only Flynn on the court. Epic bawfulness!

Minnesota shoots 47% from the floor, 53% from long range... and loses by 27 to the Knicks. Ouch.

Luke Walton dusted off his Hammer Brother suit tonight for 2 seconds of action!

DOH -- You're forgetting one crucial thing here. Tractor Traylor's colossal ass is never not funny.

Bawful, I know this is an NBA blog, but Darnell Dodson of UK HAS to be a WotN nominee for what just transpired during the Kentucky-SC game. Dodsen commits a completely stupid foul, makes a steal on the inbounds, then half-asses it on his way to a full-blown egoectomy.....by the fucking rim.

@Luke THAT Pavolvic. Unfrozen Caveman Shooting Guard? Surely you jest!

Blogger Dan B. said...
BW -- That blown dunk was a big momentum swing in that game. Embarassing. That whole game was painful to watch. Kentucky looked just awful. Nobody under the basket to rebound, bad shot selection, and what appeared to be a little home cookin' by the refs in South Carolina.

Do not stare directly into the Suns

how about mentioning the Kenyon Martin clapping ejection of the nuggets-cats game? it's either him or the ref who's up for WoTN :D

Basketbawful was name dropped on the beat on NBATV for the Larry Bird commerical.

Can we please get a eulogy for the Zach Randolph that once was? Blazer fan here.

Blogger AnacondaHL said...
Bawful: I hope you can use some personal insight in your meeting of Bad Porn to explain his 3-22 FG, yet 19 pt performance tonight.

And suddenly, the Southeast division, it's like a Western Conference division in the East! In related news, fuck the Suns.

this is obviously what the blazers want to see from their sidelined BIG-man.

@Dan B.

+ a sideways 8 on UK-SC. I was surprised that Calipari couldn't right the ship the minute Dodsen blew that dunk. Those kids played like a bunch of selfish freshman rather than the undefeated beast they've been for the past 2 months. Their lack of maturity and hunger for a win last night cost them against a team they had no business losing to. I'm not even a UK fan (OSU alum) but Jesus play with some passion.

Blogger Dan B. said...
BW -- Yep. Too much selfish play, too much sulking and not getting back on defense, etc. They looked like the freshman that they were. And even Patrick Patterson, a junior and a hell of a talent, looked pretty bad at times and made some really bad decisions.

That being said, a loss like this was necessary. They needed some team to come in and play well enough to beat them just to show them they weren't unbeatable, but they also needed to lose a game where they played poorly to give them a reality check. Hopefully they'll actually remember to show up and play with some heart the rest of the season.

(I still can't believe though that they let Devan Downey beat them on a 9-for-29 shooting performance. That's decidedly Kobe-ish.)

(And actually I went to Louisville, but grew up a UK fan and my dad is a diehard UK fan so I talk to him about UK a lot and watch games with him)

Blogger Basketbawful said...
AnacondaHL -- Bad Porn draws fouls like he's LeBron James. No, really. Dude gets superstar calls. It's bizarre. He must be a lot more likable to the refs than he was to me when I "met" him (or, rather, when he ran like hell to avoid me and Kevin Arnovitz).
