Rick Carlisle demonstrates that Dirk is a robot through interprative danceSorry to keep this one short -- I've had some unexpected changes to my schedule the past few days. You know, kind of like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has had a change of schedule. I'm sure he didn't plan on needing to bitch to the media about not getting a statue. Come on! He deserves a statue just for his glorious acting performance as That Big Dude That Got His Ass Whupped By Bruce Lee in Game of Death.
Worst of the Night in Pictures:
"Come on, Dirk! You're making me waste a totally awesome box score line!"
What is this I don't even...
We gotta work on that jumpshot form, Cubes. Get that elbow in line with the target!Nationally Televised Games:
Heat at Bulls, 8:30pm, TNT (Bulls lead series 1-0): LeBron has a head cold. However, don't expect an historical game -- "Head Cold Game" doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "Flu Game," after all.

No one ever told him to try to get the ball before? Coaching!
*Reporters ask LeBron questions at practice. Notice nasally response.*
"Hey LeBron what's wrong?"
"I've had a head cold the past few days. Nothing serious. Affected my energy but I'll start on Wednesday"
what an evil terrible bastard. Looking for whatever excuse he can come across.
/needless pedantry
But if LeBron had a cold, what was Wade's excuse? Exhausted from too many beach sex parties?
Memo to Miami players:
Don't wear your mouth guards if you're gonna leave them hanging halfway out of your mouth the entire game.
I agree. LBJ is not the only one whose exploits are sometimes exaggerated.But, as you said, even a "stomach virus game" is pretty bad-ass.
@everyone:
Something just occurred to me, after reading the comments in the last post: has a team with the 1st pick in the draft ever selected a guy who wasn't projected by the "experts" as the No.1 overall? Seriously, it seems like teams in that position never ever do the scouting, nor do they take a look at what they actually need. I get the impression that for them, the draft is more like the one in the old NBA Live games, where you have no idea who the prospects are, and you just see their projected draft order... Anybody have some insight or opinion on this?
I think the Magic took Dwight Howard when he wasn't the consensus #1.. Emeka Okafor was generally considered the #1. And went on to win the rookie of the year.
I think we know who made the best choice in that one, in the end.
Then of course there was the Bargnani draft. Where we took Bargnani. "Yay".
@stephane - great, great point. If Jordan had actually had the flu, in all likelihood playing a game of basketball would have escalated it to pneumonia. Then he might have died.
At first, those backpacks during the press conferences were cute. But now it's somewhat obvious that money is the only reason Durant looks like a dork out there
I'm marking this the unofficially start of the face heel turn for Kevin Durant. Nike getting their hooks into it is never a good sign, most recently Nike's "What should I do" (i.e. the "FU" ad) with LeBron. But there's already some evidence with the offensive flops and the wiggle before every free throw (again, was cute, but now is annoying).
This is a slow burn, though. Probably won't blow up for a couple of more seasons, unless they win a title. Then it's happening next season.
Yeah, that's the only example that came to my mind as well, although, I do remember that, as the 2004 Draft neared, most of the experts started favoring Howard as No.1. Still, you have a point, as in the beginning nobody was really impressed by him. I remember that on draft night, he was referred to as "the poor man's Kevin Garnett".
Also, yeah, Okafor won ROY and Gordon won 6th man...seems like an alternate reality now, doesn't it?
@Anonymous:
What probably happened is what happened to me when I was playing 2 on 2 one day - his elbow hit Asik on the chin, and since the chin bone is apparently pretty sharp, and the skin is not so thick, it cut open a blood vessel. It looks worse than it is.
"Is that a tiger?!"
