DiNote: I just got home from work to see my house broken into and my laptop stolen. Fucking furious. I had plans to finish this post, but obviously I’m not in much of a mood. I’ll put it out because otherwise it’s garbage, but it’s rough and raw. Read it or don’t – I don’t…
“We make a great job.” – Carlos Delfino Yes, you certainly did make a great job Carlos, though without you and TJ we’d be counting this an L. Instead, this too-close-for-comfort game pushed us to 7 games over .500 for the first time this season. I guess this should be celebrated. While I…
You’ll understand in a minute. Just like we thought, a blowout win. An “answer” to Friday’s game that frankly should have counted as two losses. If it’s okay with you, I’m gonna keep my brow furrowed until we know the outcome of tomorrow’s game in Indiana. They’re a team playing without two of their “stars”…
Dear Jamario Moon, You’re a 27 year old rookie in the NBA. After last night, it is crystal clear why. Here’s a bit of free advice: If you want to stay in the NBA, take it to the rack. Let me say it again: TAKE. IT. TO. THE. RACK. Not once, not twice, but maybe…
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…
