NBA Best in Show...Nugget(s)

The Nuggets were pretty impressive last night even with Carmelo all pukey and JR Smith being a schizophrenic genius/bonehead player, the Nugs managed to pull it out. 

But Jeff Van Gundy, ex-coach, general all-around ass-hat announcer for ESPN drives me crazy. I wrote down one of the more inane things he yelled, regarding the new rule that if a player gets more than 7 technical fouls called on them in post-season play then they are suspended one game. He said " Seven...SEVEN! You can't just pick an arbitrary number out...it should be like 9 or 11" Huh? I guess he thought if he used the word "arbitrary" then everyone would ignore the ridiculous stupidity of his statement. Ugh.

Hubby compared him to the announcer Buck Lauglin (played by Fred Willard) in the movie Best of Show - Now tell me, which one of these dogs would you want to have as your wide receiver on your football team?  or Doctor, question that's always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia - a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact.

Attack of Team Kobe

Like Boo, I watched game 3 of  Western Conference finals and yes, Birdman is something else. I'd take him on my team any day because I bet he's got some great stories, at least those he can remember. 

Team Kobetron showed up for game 3. Playing with no joy, appearing to not have a heartbeat or any other discernible signs of being human they still managed to win. Pau woke up in the 4th and Kobe stuck a dagger three in at the end. Nuggets need to refer to their copy of WWZ and destroy the brain, perhaps they could borrow a pickaxe from Rocky. 

a better wingman needed...asap

Dirk Nowitzki has recently been going through a crazy time, despite averaging over 30pts a game during the Mavs current series with Denver, all everyone wants to talk about his recent shit-tastic disaster of a personal life(and I don't think thats an overstatement). Got me thinking (that and the 2 strongbow I just consumed) that maybe his point guard/wingman is leading him astray. I mean, Jkidd is great but doesn't have the best track record in relationships. Now, I'm sure everyone remembers that back in the day our own Stevie was BFF with Dirk, and Steve has a pretty impressive track record for a short, limp-haired canadian. So, I'm thinking in the long off-season va-cay that Dirk with soon be on (sorry, Dirk but I saw the game today, that fork is firmly stuck in Marc Cuban's hair plug infested scalp - D. U. N, done) Dirk might be best served to hang out with Steve, if anything it will result in more drunk athlete photos showing up on the web. Athletes - they're just like us! they make stupid faces when drunk! fall off bar stools! hug strangers! yea!

In related NBA news, yes, Ron Artest is as tough as I thought he was. When he said game 2 against the Lakers wasn't the most physical game he's ever played, 'cause he played in a game where his friend got stabbed with a broken off table leg. For real. Ron Artest, not like us! not at all! way, way too tough & scary.

Note to nephew V: sorry for doubting your admiration of Chauncey - he's awesome. Okay, not as much of a tree-hugging, war-hating hippie as stevie, but still very cool. Even Sweet Melon isn't as annoying as he once was.  Go Nuggets!
