In addition to Clippers-Suns battling for the orange roundie tonight in Game 6 (consider this open letter to the Clips your preview), the Mavs and Spurs are in an absolute war. The Spurs won the latest battle last night, and this thing has the feel of a 7-game series – one we desperately want the Mavs to win.
Whatever happens, everybody in Texas is watching, even when Katharine McPhee’s big boobs are the competition.
The Mavericks-Spurs on TNT earned a 16.5 household rating, which translates into approximately 379,500 homes. Fox’s penultimate American Idol elimination of the season scored a 13.3 rating for Channel 4, the equivalent of almost 306,000 homes. It is rare for Idol not to rule Wednesday nights. Idol, for example, had no problem with the Winter Olympics back in February. ABC’s Lost clocked in at 11.2 for Channel 8. That’s about 257,600 homes.
So that means the Spurs are -
LeBron James just continues to amaze, can we all agree on that? We just watched last night’s game on NBATV again, and we’re re-pumped (as all hell).
We spent awhile on the phone with a friend back home this morning, and he said the city is equally pumped. After that we both agreed that having friends is nice and made plans to speak again.
Look, we can’t talk about Tim Duncan and Le Crepe when this is all going on, okay? We can’t do anything, actually. It’s a constant rotation of checking the comments here, going to Cavs message boards, scouring everywhere for new words to read, eagerly anticipating what they’ll say on PTI, and playing Super Cocoa Man at the Fruity Pebbles website.
In other words, life is perfect. Don’t forget to do your Who Shot Mamba? dime-toss, if you haven’t already!

Test.
PTI replacements did a shitty job and actually asked Eric Snow “How good is Lebron James.” Are you fucking kidding me?
lets hope the mavs spurs DOESNT go 7 games
I like how in the odds thing they just assumed the Heat would roll right over the Cavs with no problem, too.
That’s fine – I’m happy to play underdog for the rest of the postseason.
FUCK THE HORSESHIT NO BALLS MOTHER FUCKING PUSSY ASS NBA
TERRY GETS PILEDRIVED BY FINLEYS HIP AND TERRY GETS FUCKIN SUSPENDED… FUCK YOU STERN.. FUCK YOU NBA.. FUCK YOU SPURS
I was going to comment on Jazon’s bullshit suspension, but Zack has articulated my thoughts nicely.
It had to be Finley.
probably the best thing that could happen to me NBA-wise would be the Mavs having their window slammed shut by that suspension, I mean, is there many doubts that if Amare comes back healthy the suns will own the West for the next couple years?
I agree. If Amare can come back to 100% the Suns will be ridiculous…
The Terry thing is bizarre. Anybody seen a tape of this yet?
I’m of the opinion if something isn’t even called in the game, it shouldn’t be able to be brought up later like this.
Nah. What about Evans’ ball grabbing? Dude should have gotten at least a game for that, I don’t care what the officials didn’t see at that time.
Dallasbasketball.com has several different angles of Jazon’s violation of Fin’s nether region. Sent to them by Cuban, no less. To me, it looks like he did what they’re saying he did. Why wasn’t it called DURING the game? Last I heard, Terry said he was just trying to call timeout. I think they’re reaching into a hat to decide what punishment to give for these things. Have they forgotten about Reggie Evans?
I’ve watched too much basketball. Mike Dunleavy is starting to look alarmingly like Tony Soprano to me.
My favorite part of all this is the term “piledriver” being prissily thrown around. Remember when PJ Brown picked up Charlie Ward and threw him? That was a piledriver. (well, not really, though I would love to someday see an honest-to-God Junkyard Dog style piledriver in the NBA).
Oooh yeah! Like, tonight, Keith Van Horn should pick up Nick Van Exel, flip him upside down, hold a hand to his ear like Hulk Hogan, and let it drop when he feels like the crowd’s earned it.
Then we can all go, “Oh, right. That’s a piledriver. That thing the other night was a scramble for a loose ball. Pussies.”
That Super Cocoa Man is a sweet game! Just played it a few times and it’s pretty fun. I can see how you guys played it for a little while but the question is…. How did you end up on a Cocoa Pebbles site? Or should I not ask?
As long as you don’t expect the real answer, ask away.
