YAYsports! NBA

Looks like our plan worked - we didn’t watch the Cavaliers, and apparently they played with some actual energy and got the win over the Hawks last night.
(This isn’t entirely true - we flipped it on for a moment, watched Ira Newble (!) take two straight threes, assumed the worst, and went elsewhere.)
Anyway, the boycott […]

Between all the Scoop Jackson stuff, Kobe putting up 52 last night, Eva Longoria gaining the ability to scream “Tony Parker is my finacee!!!”, and a few other things, we’ve barely had time to contemplate the true ramifications of our vow to boycott the Cavaliers tonight.
It’s closing in on gametime, and we’re truely not sure […]

(Pre-note: this post was written before the previous one, but we want this one on top for now.)
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Everyone knows what he did.
Hell, even he knows — perhaps dropping the phrase “Orange Roundie” right in the middle of it was his way of admitting it without admitting it. Who knows what […]

Did they not understand the last post?
You have stolen an original character from us and used it for your own purposes.
There ain’t no room for fan-fiction in the Orange Roundie’s world, Scoop. You can write as the ball all you want, but you sure as hell can’t call it “Orange Roundie”. Call it […]

These were the Atlantic Division standings as of day the last.
If you haven’t guessed, this was something we were gonna get into yesterday afternoon, but didn’t. We’ve slyly transported the picture into an all-new post, and that’s the experience you’re having now.
Alas, the Atlantic Division is worse than ever, but after last night’s Nets victory […]

We submit the accompanied picture of Clippers guard Cuttino Mobley without comment, except for the following:

Everything which was new but old is now old and no longer new, yet the same, once again.
For the first time!
The Clippers lost to the Kings last night, and the most unstoried franchise in Los Angeles is on a journey back to its true destiny. Step one is complete, as they’re now below .500.
How […]

The drama of Ben Wallace’s headwear continues tonight in Chicago, as the Bulls return home to play the Knicks.
Ben himself hasn’t spoken as of yet, and nobody knows what he’ll do/wear tonight, but yesterday GM John Paxson got his say in on the matter.
He’s obviously taking the Skiles side of things, which isn’t a huge […]

While the Mavs were winning their tenth straight last night, we were busy concentrating on the biggest game on the schedule.
Yep, it was the matchup of “teams who were everyone’s darkhorses to be pretty good but in actuality have the best records in their respective conferences.”
Utah v Orlando. Jazz v Magic. Dwight v Carlos. Nelson […]

After a scary few weeks wherein it looked like this entire season may be played in some kind of upside-down parallel universe, things are starting to settle down and get back to normal.
Case in point, the PHX Suns have gone 6-1 in their last seven, and are now above .500 after their win over Portland […]
