Down 3-1, Stan Van Gundy gets ready to fly north for the summerFYI, as I noted earlier in Friday's WOTN comments, I attended the Derby Festival Basketball Classic at Louisville's KFC Yum! Center. (No, I did not eat any KFC. I did, however, eat fresh-cut potato chips topped with the following: beef slathered in barbeque sauce, nacho cheese, chives, tomatoes, bacon bits, and jalapenos. So that was nice.) It was a last-minute "Hey, I have free tickets for tonight's game, you wanna go?" deal, so I didn't get a chance to grab my D-SLR camera, but I did snap some pictures and video with my iPhone. I'll put together a post about it sometime in the next couple days when there's less to talk about. In the meantime, lots of pictures to get to in today's post!
Worst of the Weekend in Pictures:
The saddest thing about the Knicks' early exit -- this is the last time we'll see Mike D'Antoni for quite awhile
Ball, meet face. Face, meet ball.
Umm...
"Do you really think I'm scared of a guy named Zaza?"
But not '99? You're lucky Prince isn't here. He'd might get pissed and punch you in the shin or kneecap (because Prince is short, you see)
Zach Randolph dancing? You know we have to post that
Maybe having a talented superstar is important after all
If the Knicks want to somehow blame the loss on Spike Lee's wardrobe, I'm cool with that
Nationally Televised Games:
Spurs at Grizzlies, TNT, 8pm (Grizzlies lead series 2-1): It took me eight tries to type "Grizzlies lead Spurs." My fingers just wouldn't let me do it no matter how hard I tried.
Frail Blazers at Mavericks, NBA TV, 8:30pm (Series tied 2-2): It's easy to shake your head at the Mavericks' annual postseason meltdown, but you have to remember who they're playing. If there is another team that's shown it's capable of blowing a first round matchup the past few years, it's Portland. I don't mean to offend fans of either team, but really, these two teams are just infuriating in April.
Thunder at Nuggets, TNT, 10:30pm (Thunder lead series 3-0): Fun fact: the Nuggets are shooting 68.7% from the charity stripe in this series. In related news, Thunder fans have their brooms in hand and are ready for the potential sweep.

Selena Gomez's cover of it.
Wow.
I see no reason why you couldn't just say infuriating in the playoffs. Interesting to see which doomed playoff franchise truly cements its legacy in this matchup.
Mr. Too Nice Guy -- "In the playoffs" felt too generic. Didn't put enough emphasis on the early exit aspect.
"Dallas led 44-43 at halftime. Both teams had nice spurts, but neither could keep it up for very long. "
Peter North is shaking his head in disappointment somewhere.
No way Dwight is coming to L.A. we are trying to get Marc Gasol Back from Chris Wallace but we still haven't figured out a way to include Kwame Brown in the deal.
you need to use this photoshopped image of kobe using crutches on the basketball court with his damned ankle!
this will be enjoyed by all kobe haters! =)

I mean, all three teams I wanted to win last night didn't.
My team - the Spurs, if you didn't know - didn't even try in the second half. Some of the worst turnovers and most lacking defense I've seen. I think for a second we had become the Timberwolves... without Kevin Love. Bawful said we completed our transformation into Phoenix Lite. If that's true, then we shouldn't have too much trouble coming back from 1-3. right?
The Blazers just let me down. I thought it would at least be a bit closer. I really want the Mavs to get knocked out.
And the Thunder. Not much you can say there. The game was at least close and the Nuggets were probably due for a win. Just icing on the bad-evening cake.
