Say What You Want About Shaq...

...but he's one of the funniest athletes of all time.


Good luck.

...even if it is with Boston.

So THIS Is Who the Cavs Got Murdered By Last Night???

Word, Lebron?? I got you guys winning this whole thing now that the Bulls are out but I'm gonna need more than 15 points on 3-14 shooting. You're the MVP and it's going to take an MVP-type performance to win in Game 6. You can believe that I'll be front row for this joint, popcorn in hand like:
Game 6 in Boston is tomorrow at 8:00 on TNT. Don't miss it.

It might be Lebron's last game as a Cav...

NBA Throwback: Antoine Walker Shimmy Dance

First off, I am not a Celtics fan. I do, however, like KG, Jesus Shuttlesworth and Nate Rob but other than that, I've hated them for pretty much my whole basketball life. But, if you're in your early to mid 20's and consider yourself a basketball fan, I'm sure you remember the Antoine Walker days. And by days, I mean the times he would hit a three and do his shimmy dance. For example:

This was from his time with Dallas, but you get the point
I was reading Trey Kerby's post about the 20 Most Bloggable NBA Photos and when I came across this one of Antoine Walker ↓↓

it reminded me of all the great Photoshopped versions:

This is proof that internet and Photoshop can be terribly awesome at times.

Back Like I Never Left/The Season Ends...

Sorry for the brief hiatus, school's really been kicking in. But it's almost over....forever.

My Bulls ended up losing to the Celtics in Game 7 in Boston. Damn. We really played well throughout the series and it sucked to go out like this. Ben Gordon had a big 33 to lead all scorers but it wasn't enough. During the playoffs D.Rose played beyond his years and the Miller/Salmons trade proved to be really big for us. The worst part of the whole thing might be that had we gotten past Boston, we would have had a real chance to beat Orlando in the second round. wtf. I'm disappointed we had to go out like this, but after the greatest series in NBA Playoff history, I can't be too mad.

Oh wait, yeah I can.
Fuck Boston.

Now I don't have to watch any basketball until Kobe vs. Lebron in the Finals. Uh oh.


vs.


I'm crossing my fingers.

Greatest Game Ever?? ...Yeah, I Think So

Did I call this or did I call this??

Last night's Bull/Celtics triple overtime thriller was on of the most entertaining sports events I've ever witnessed. And that's NO hype. I was literally on the edge of my seat from the beginning of the fourth quarter to the last second of the third overtime. Three overtimes though?? I was definitely two Ray Allen three pointers away from having a conniption, but we were able to pull this one out. There were so many big plays from D.Rose, John Salmons, Ben Gordon and everybody, but two big plays really sealed the deal for us. The first big one was Joakim Noah's mean ass dunk on Paul Pierce. Not only did it put us up by 2 with 35 seconds left, but it gave Paul Pierce [aka Mr. Aardvark] his sixth foul. And when I say "dunk on" I mean "murderlize." Just check it out. There are no words:

Holy fuck. I still can't believe he did that. Noah's gained so much respect from Chicago fans throughout this series and that was definitely the exclamation point. I guess I can finally forgive him for this:

Anyway, back to the second huge play from last night. It would have to be the defensive stop that D.Rose put up against Rajon Rondo on the Celtics last real chance to tie up the game. I knew he had it in him. Not only were the Bulls finally able to put the clamps down on Rondo, but hopefully his struggles will continue in Game 7. Check the D:

I'm definitely proud of my Bulls but our job is definitely not over. We've proven that we can not only play with the Celtics, but we can win in Boston. Game 7 should be extra wavy. Seriously. Max B agrees ↓ ↓
Oww.

The Bulls Hold On In Game 4/Shawn Nelson to the Bills

Game Four between my Bulls and the Boston Celtics was definitely one of the best games I've seen all year....but only because we ended up winning. The Bulls/Celtics series proved again today why it was the best series of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. I mean, damn. The match-ups have been insane: D.Rose and Rajon Rondo, [college teammates/best friends] Tyrus Thomas and Big Baby, Ben Gordon and Jesus Shuttlesworth. Epic match-ups. [Good thing KG's not playing...] All in all, I'm glad we were able to pull out the W in double OT even after valiant attempts from the new Big Three: P.Double, Ray Ray and Rondo. But we still knocked em out like:

Owww.

And I gotta give another shout out to my boy Shawn Nelson for getting picked up by the Buffalo Bills today. He should be an instant deep threat [Pause.] along with T.O. and Josh Reed. Yeah, Josh Reed. Whoa. First Putt, now Shawn, I guess I have some new teams to follow.

[Note: Draft Overview coming soon. At first glance, I feel like the Eagles might have had one of the strongest showings this year. We'll see.]

Shh...the Bulls are on!

Game 1 of the series against Boston is on and we're looking pretty good. D.Rose is hitting his shots and distributing the ball well [15 and 6 in the first half.] Ben Gordon is on point like always. These KG-less Celtics are definitely beatable. Oww.

You already know.
