Editor's note: In case you didn't recognize it, this post owes a giant tip 'o the hat to the classic
"Dicks, Pussies, and Assholes" speech from
Team America: World Police. And Kevin Garnett's potty mouth, of course.

Another solid press conference. It's like the players and coaches intentionally make the goofiest faces they can during these things. Wait a second. Are they intentionally doing it just to give us fodder for ridiculous comics...?
Awesome.
This video absolutely made my day. Thank you.
Post on the instant replay junk and the rule about it. My favorite quote: "As it stands right now, under certain instant replay triggers, for instance by example, a made basket at the end of the period, if you have a trigger and it's reviewed, the system does allow you to review whether or not the clock expired, whether the field goal was called correctly as a 2 or 3, whether or not the shooter committed a boundary line violation, whether or not the 24-second clock expired, it also allows you to determine whether there was an eight-second backcourt violation. But it just does not allow for you to review matters involving judgment calls, or subjective calls."
Wait, what? Determining whether a last second basket counts or not based on if it's left the player's hand in time or if it's a two pointer or three pointer based on a millimeter's measurement of foot position are NOT judgment calls and therefore allowed, but a foul somehow isn't?
So THAT's what I'm doing wrong.

Everyone that hijacked yesterday's WoTN
Anyways, the best part of this was Kobe's serious/dreamy face after the Rondo thought bubbles. I have no idea why that cracked me up so much.
and im pretty sure it scares anyone under 6'4" (including me and apparently rondo) that we're next on baby's dinner menu...

In that case, I'm sure somewhere a cat owner is offended.
"A dick in Whiskers!?! I won't stand for it!"
Fisher's reply to Doc Rivers brought tears.
That joke not funny, how about this: Ray Allen continued his no-show from game 3 after failing to appear at the press conference.
These comments are both "meh" at best.
While I agree with him that Fisher has flopped a few times... has he not watched his own players in all his tape sessions? Allen and Fisher should have a contest in my opinion.
