Even with Manu going off like an air raid siren. Even after being down 9-0 and 18-6. Even after being outrebounded, once again. Even if, ultimately, we didn’t deserve it. Even still… We could have had this one. The Spurs might be old, they might be slow, but they’re the defending world champs and they…
With the Raptors having almost a week off between games against bottom-dwellers like Miami and Minnesota, they were more than ready to dominate yet another inferior team, showing their poise and consistency against lesser competi…what? Whaddya mean there was a game on Friday? Nope, didn’t happen. Insist all you want, but that’s impossible – I have…
So apparently basketball is NOT tennis (and tennis? Not foxy boxing). One guy’s supreme talent alone* can’t lift a team to victory, no matter how many times People tells us he’s mad hot (Poor Sam Cassell, snubbed again). * Not that he was on last night. It’s tough to play inspired ball when you don’t care about…
Kobe’s a killer. Let me preface this post by saying while I reallllllyyyy wanted to watch this game, the Dinette had a friend over tonight. So I’m perched on the couch with my beverage and notepad watching Bargnani spice up the meatball…but the couch, on this fine snowy evening, happened to also be SMACK in…
You know those fancy upper-crust masquerade soirées where everyone wears those little velvet pastel-colored Phantom of the Opera masks so that they can wander anonymously through the crowd? And the beautiful-on-the-inside (read: ugly) common chambermaid, who’s stolen her passed-out employers outfit, slips on her gown and mask (which fit perfectly) whereby she summons up…
CCCRRRRACCCCKKKKK! Thats sound you heard echoing from the southwestern tip of Ontario was the breaking of a fanbase’s collective heart. True, we didn’t deserve to win this game, and true, we got lucky on more than one occasion, but deep down (above the beer gut and behind your man-boobs) we all felt like somehow, some…
Congrats. You guys seem to be back to beating teams you’re supposed to beat. – Matt M. aka “the Linkmaster” from Hardwood Paroxysm. We had a better percentage in every offensive statistic, more boards, more assists, more steals, more blocks, and less turnovers. That’s a pretty decisive asskicking. When was the last time we heard…
I know! I couldn’t believe it either! I’ll take credit for this one. In my game day post I all but guaranteed a Boston victory. Of course, it was just a little inverse motivation (I don’t think reverse psychology is the correct term). Lo and behold, it worked! So while the ‘media’ and the…
Tonight’s win will mean little if we don’t win tomorrow. – The Arsenalist That pretty much sums up today’s game against Philly. I only half-watched yesterday’s game (the 4pm start is smack in the middle of me hectic vacation schedule) but saw Anthony Johnson* deliver one of those 1980’s WWF tap-tap shoudler drops on Jose’s…
(Posting may be light over the next couple days because I’d rather be sitting in the sun than typing out game notes…can you blame me?) Now THAT’S the type of game BC was dreaming of while startching his collars and assembling this roster. Crisp ball movement, aggressive paint play, and decisive decisions made this guy…
Dude, what the FUCK??? I just wrote a long, scathing post outlining every biased, unfathomable call the “professionals” with the whistles mad tonight. I click “save”, and it asks me for my password. I enter it, and all my words are GONE! I don’t have to explain how frustrating this is. This is even more…
“Scrapping is what we’ve been able to do this season and tonight, we got outscrapped.” – Nate McMillan, while feeding Brandon Roy his post-game grapes. She, like, totally LOVES scrappiness and stuff! How often can we honestly say we outscrapped someone? Four games a season? GREAT effort this afternoon. Prior to the game someone must…
