My favorite Hibachi, it’s broke. Weep, Weep, Boo-hoo.

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he did recently find a word that rhymes with “orange”.)
Howdy, y’all. Remember me? I’m Jordi Scrubbings, soul brother number one over at The Serious Tip. Once again, it’s Thursday and that means it’s my day in the sun here at YAYsports! NBA.
Before I get into any pro news, I just want to say I refuse to recognize the Florida Gators as college basketball National Champions. There are much more deserving teams, such as the Iona College Gaels. Not sure what a Gael is, but with the worst record in college basketball, they are my national champs.
Also, some quick housekeeping notes:
I know Jack Cobra already mentioned it, but I would like to give my own big shout-out to the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2007, which includes Phil Jackson and North Carolina Coach Roy Williams. Although personally I don’t think coaches should be admitted into the Hall of Fame until they are done coaching, I did read Phil Jackson’s book Sacred Hoops a few years ago and it was really good.
Also a big congratulations to Lindsey Harding, the first pick of yesterday’s WNBA draft. Go ahead, amaze your friends with that tidbit of knowledge.
Finally, in case you follow such news, former Knick, Warrior, and New Jersey Net Micheal Ray Richardson is now unemployed due to his lackluster impersonation of Mel Gibson.
Ok, on to the games of yesternight:
Agent Zero wounded as Bobcats maul Wizards - Gilbert Arenas suffered a possible season-ending injury to his knee-bone late in the first quarter of the Wizards’ loss to Charlotte. Bloggers worldwide await first-person commentary from Gilbert via his personal blog.
Darko Milicic ejected and Dwight Howard dejected in loss to extinct dinosaur mascots - The Magic blew a 15-point lead and the Raptors won. Hedo Turkoglu(!) had 37 points.
Big man with Afro no go for Chicago - Ben Wallace had a sinus infection and did not play against his former team as the Bulls defeated the Pistons in Detroit. Detroit faithful asked for a refund as they came not to watch their Pistons, but to boo Wallace.
Los Angeles Boats defeat Los Angeles Bodies of Water in Los Angeles - The Clippers continued being a sneaky bunch, having now won seven of their last eight games. Their latest victims: the Kwame-less Lakers. Jellybean Bryant, Jr. led all scorers with 29 points.
Vertically challenged athlete stands tall in tank battle - The Battle of Kursk it was not, but the Milwaukee Bucks needed all of Earl Boykins’s 65 inches and 32 points to defeat the Boston Celtics in a game neither team really wanted to win.
Well folks, I’ll be back a few more times today with some other posts, so come on back now, ya hear.

Los Angeles Boats defeat Los Angeles Bodies of Water
A
Uh, Cav… I think you mean “F.” A “LakeR” is not the same as a “Lake.”
laker n. A fish, such as the lake trout, that lives in a lake. Also, a ship used on lakes, primarily the Great Lakes.
Cute team names…
How’d you get Gregg Easterbrook to cover your Thursdays?
“How’d you get Gregg Easterbrook to cover your Thursdays?”
Now THERE’S an “A.” Plus, even.
Sports Hog…..are you saying that the Clippers and Lakers very well could be named the same thing?
Also, a ship used on lakes, primarily the Great Lakes.
Indeed. Perhaps Los Angeles Large Sailboats defeat Los Angeles Boats Used Primarily For Shipping? Too cumbersome?
Maybe….they are the same team that uses the same players and when they play each other they just put a result in the newspaper to make everyone think that they actually played? Maybe….none of this is real?
Ok, in defense of my “A” (thanks, Cav!):
I could be mistaken, and if so, correct me, but didn’t the LA Lakers move from Minnesota, the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” where the team name was derived from the state nickname, not a boat or a fish?
Also, I guess one could see an Easterbrook-like style to said game description. If so, it was purely coincidental. Like a guitarist writing a song and including a variation of a riff he/she has heard 1,000 times before.

The following clip tells the story of what kind of team the Cavaliers are:
According to a cab driver who took them from their downtown Minneapolis hotel to the Metrodome for Monday evening’s Twins-Orioles opener, two Cleveland Cavaliers players left a total tip of 50 cents for a $4.50 fare.
– St. Paul Pioneer Press
That’s real classy… million dollar athletes leaving $0.50 tips to the cab driver.
Who’s Greg Easterbrook?
This whole substitute teacher thing seems a lot more cumbersome than a big “gone fishing ’til May” sign.
In response to Jack Cobra’s “matrix theory” on the Lakers/Clippers, I just have to say…DON’T TAKE THE BLUE PILL!
In response to complaining about a tip to a cabbie…WHO CARES?? It was a 4.50 fare, were they supposed to give the guy a 10 and tell him to keep it? I’m not tipping dollar for dollar on a 4.50 fare.
I believe Easterbrook is the Tuesday Morning QB for espn?
For a $4.50 fare I’m tipping $2. Thus, they should do a little more.
Cav…I take offense to your second comment!!
50 CENTS TIP????
I realize $4.50 cab fare is relatively cheap, but 50 CENTS for a tip? Wow, you are some cheap bastards.
Cav… I was just EDITEDing with Jordi. Aside from the uninspired “Interview with Ugly Dudes I Want to Kiss” or whatever that was called, I think this whole thing is going fairly well.
Agreed!

The Cavs are saving their money to buy pot from Rasheed Wallace when they’re in Aburn Hills.
Auburn.
Ok, let’s do a little test. Everyone reach into their pockets and see how much cash they have on them. How many 1’s? How many 5’s? How many of us actually carry cash on us these days?
NBA players or not, I’m just saying, they might not of had extra cash on them.
Do you tip 2 dollars for a 4.50 drink at the bar?
They just came from a baseball game. They had to have cash on them in order to drink/eat at the game. Yes, I do tip $2 for a $4.50 drink at the bar if the bartender is an attractive girl. Besides at the bar they walk, bend over and make the drink, unless it’s already made. The cabbie has to pick you up, put up with your behavior, drive you home, hope you pay him and make sure you make it there safe. Many more things happening in that scenario.
First of all, how long can a $4.50 cab ride be? 3 minutes, max? Doesn’t the meter usually start at $2.25 (plus a dollar for an extra passenger)?
I’m guessing Fat Donny and Drew Gooden went over to TGIFriday’s for some of their Jack Daniels Chicken Strips. Friday’s was only four blocks from the hotel, but Marshall, trying to conserve energy, opted for a cab instead of taking the Skyway.
Gooden gave the cab a $20 and told him to keep the change. The cabby gave Gooden $15 dollars back and told him to use the money to “shave that piece of shit on the back of your head.”
At the bar, I typically tip $2 for the first drink, $1 for each additional drink…
that’s how I roll
This I think could very well be my favorite replyhere EVER!
oh and the lakers are in fact boats as well according to the sports encyclopedia. Nickname:
Named Minneapolis Lakers in reference to the large cargo-carrying ships that traversed the Great Lakes.
‘Your neck is… how you say?… pooping.”
Thanks for the lauugh jjc58.
Haha, Jack Cobra, you covert tipping MoFo…
I like the scenario jjc58!!
North cacka-lacka and compton!
