Okay, so that day full of games we got yesterday came at a small price: there are only two games today. The good news? We still have plenty of pictures from last night. Also I got an opportunity to play some more NBA 2K10 yesterday. I should have a post about my latest exploits in the game up later this week, I promise.
Before anything else, we have to address this. Greg Oden has obviously had plenty of free time in the past couple of years with all the constant injuries to his ancient bones and joints. Well, now we know what he's been doing with that spare time: refining his vocal talents.
Yes, in case you're still in a state of shock, that was a video of Greg Oden singing a Backstreet Boys song. Since I couldn't find Simon Cowell's phone number, I couldn't get him to rip apart Oden's vocal stylings in over-the-top, amusing fashion. My apologies. I doubt he would have fit in our $0 budget anyway.
Also, as AnacondaHL noted in the comments, Week 2 of the NBA Jam player voting is up. This time around, we get to vote which players make it in for the powerhouse teams known as the Timbewolves, the Grizzlies, and the Warriors.
Worst of the Night in Pictures:
Caption This! What is Stan Van Gundy thinking? Post your thoughts in the comments!
Chairman Yi appropriately sits in his chair (AKA: Another Sad Nyets Bench Photo)
A Nate Robinson painting. Yes, it exists.
You can try to hide, Derrick, but we still know you're losing to the Warriors. Sorry, man.
Rick Adelman responds to yesterday's "YMCA" picture with an enthusiastic rendition of "Stop! In the Name of Love"
Nationally Televised Games: Raptors at Crabs: Yes, the Raptors have been winning lately. However... LeBron against one of the worst-rated defenses in the Assocation? This could be uglier than Gheorghe Muresan. (And at least it should be more entertaining than his movie.)
All The Other Games: Pacers at Heat: I love meaningless individual revenge games. According to Stats LLC: "In his first full season in Miami, Jermaine O'Neal has averaged 20.5 points on 65.0 percent shooting in two games against his former team." The Drain, everybody!
Holy cow, has anyone else checked out the voting for Golden State's players? I can't think of a better NBA Jam backcourt than Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis - a tandem of one-trick ponies whose skills (lights out shooting and blazing speed, respectively) you could abuse to almost no end. Imagine the cheese of raping the turbo button with Ellis on fast breaks, or pulling up with Curry for never-ending 25-ft 3's.
They seem perfectly suited for this type of game (assuming NBA Jam is how I remember it). Stick them with Anthony Randolph (I guess - maybe someone else works better here) and it'd play like a cheat code. Does anyone know of a better threesome available?
Hehehe, just HAD to quote a great comment I just found at Bulls By The Horns....
No doubt Nelson outsmarted Vinny last night. Like the announcers said, Nelson loves to play chess matches with teams. I get a feeling Vinny would prefer to play Go Fish.
(And for what it's worth, I just went off the caption from the story on ESPN.com's Page 2 that originally linked to the video.)

SVG has it printed in that face.
"That sign says Sizzler Vegetarian Feast?' WTF is that? Doesn't sound like a 'feast' to me..."

And my CAPTCHA is "unlate" which is just awesome. As in "the unlate Ben Wallace."
"Please God, just tell me what to do!"
