"Hmm... I wonder where I can get a sweet lunchbox to go with my backpack..."In NBA tattoo news (that amazingly does not include Birdman Andersen), Monta Ellis got a forest tattooed on his chest. That's some serious attention to detail. You can almost expect a squirrel to come scampering out of his jersey during a game next season.
Ridiculous stat of the day: "Last 10 NBA seasons: Teams have trailed by 15+ pts in last five mins of 4,970 games (RS and playoffs). DAL became only winner last night."
Worst of the Night in Pictures:
Okay, points for creativity, I guess?
I guess Durant's less impressed by your body paint than I am. Sorry dudes.
Nate Robinson auditions for a second job as the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man outside the Valvoline store
Nationally Televised Games:
Bulls at Heat, TNT, 8:30pm (Heat lead series 2-1): Can we please stop talking about Joakim Noah's anti-gay slur and subsequent fine? His new-found complete and total inability to put a basketball through a hoop is far more interesting, considering he is, after all, a professional basketball player.

BTW, who would get homecourt in that series? I think they had identical overall records.

No DVR, so this isn't exactly quoted.
Kerr: "It involves a lot of throat exercises."
Albert: "Unfortunately we had to witness those."
I think Steve Kerr summed it up well the other night, and totally depressed me: while Thibs is always having to make these offense/defense judgment calls to keep his team in the game, all the Heat's best players are their best at both ends of the floor. Maybe it's that simple.
Anyway, here's hoping the Bulls still pull it out, but I'd love to see Mavs/Heat 2: The Revenge. This time, it's for money!
Best trollface ever.

Still, going to be watching Game 5 closely, hoping the Bulls have a little magic left to send it back to Miami and at least allow a Game 7 to loom.
Mike Brown in serious talks with the Lakers. Oh my God please let this happen.
Sadly, considering some of the other names being floated this actually isn't the worst case scenario. At least he's teams had strong D, and lord knows Kobe would love to play in Brown's patented LeBroffense. Oh God.
Not like the Heat are much better either. Everytime LeBron catches the ball in the triple threat the Heat are in danger of a shot clock violation. I know this has been true all year but it keeps happening. And his athleticism has regressed like crazy, getting blocked by the rim and being unable to finish layups with any sort of lift. What's he gonna look like in a couple years? It's a good thing he's been working on his whack jumper.
Wade is quietly having one of the worst series of his career. He played great d and hustled and everything, but someone stole his ability to score and dribble.

I think I'm trying to find any valid reason for this. Was Rick Adelman not willing to commit or something? Coming from a Lakers fan's perspective, I don't know how to feel.
The first thing I think of when someone says Mike Brown is this:

On a totally different note, here's hoping Dallas kicks Miami in the finals.
I thought a whole huge theme on this blog is to never give props ever to great players doing great things because this is a blog where based on basketball fail.
I'm not saying we should never give great players their props when it's earned, I'm just bringing this up because you never hear a line like that on this website when LeBron has a killer game. This blog is completely anti-heat and anti laker, which would be fine for a basketball fail blog if it wasn't also Chicago and Celtics homers. I like this blog but as a Heat fan, a huge downside to my visits here is this point.
Also, I'm reading the money issue was solved, and the announcement is coming later today. Mike Brown, new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. This is the greatest moment of my basketball watching life (not involving a team I root for).
Heh.
To stephanie's point, yes Wade isn't the same on offense. Makes me wonder if he expended too much on offense, but lo and behold the city on Miami shit their collective pants when Mike Miller, Mike freaking Miller, starting doing what he was paid to about 95 games past due
Heh, as some have already alluded to, I really want this to happen. Jeanie Buss runs basketball better than this tool, because she had the smarts to sleep with the coach with 11 rings. Lakers could not score with Phil Jackson. What makes them think they can score with Mike Brown? San Antonio and Cleveland must be going "well, that's a stupid hire."
I'd be stunned if the Lakers averaged 90 points per game next season. Or if they win 40 games. Or if Khloe stays married to Lamar by the All-star break.

So if Mike does end up getting the job, wouldn't he be playing the same script that he had as Lebron's coach, in which his purpose is to find strategy to revolve around Lebron's play style (or ego), and despite that he ended up unappreciated by the very superstar he's trying to please? Except with Kobe it would take even shorter for the player-coach fallout to commence?
