You’re right on with your Matt Bonner tactic. We need to make Shaq a liability from the 5 min mark to the last 2 min of every game.

Good recap. That pick and roll D was atrocious. Pop will have the dudes ready to roll and in the proper position. He’s through bullshitting, he knows what time it is. As for Shaq, I hope he keeps making those dumb ass comments. Talk about hubris.

hey shaq…didn’t you say you’d retire before you got to the level of the admirial’s play in his last season or 2? well you fat bastard, you’re well past that (and are about a trillion times less classy, but you’ve been like that your entire career), so piss off already…

(long time reader, first time poster, hi!)

Seriously great recap. Probably a bit difficult to follow with all the new nicknames – if I hadn’t read your previous post or watched the game.

Definitely prefer to have Matt foul Shaq than Oberto. I can’t wait to see Hack-a-snack in Phoenix. The booing should be legendary.

“Shaq is such a bitch. I hate him. HATE. If I was in a room with him, Hitler, and Osama Bin Laden and had a gun with two bullets, I’d shoot Shaq twice to make sure he was dead”

that is one of the funniest things I have ever read from you!!!!
well done!

Nice recap. I have to echo the nicknames comment. I really had a hard time understanding who you were talking about, half of the time. Billy Ocean is obvious and has been around for a while, but some of the others did not pop right out at me. At times I had to use the context to figure them out, and that detracted from the flow.

A glossary of nicknames might be a nice addition to your site. It could be a good source of humor as well. Ali G has a dictionary on his website and it doesn’t detract from the show.

On the Red Rocket (hah, I’ll throw in an obvious nickname), I like the idea, I am just leery about having him hit crucial buckets with the game on the line. He does not have much playoff experience (ask Ime if that matters), and I have seen him brick too many open shots this season to trust that it will work. I’d say try the strategy in the first half and see if it works, but keep him on a very short leash in the second half.

I loved Arrested Development..and I was so pissed that it got cancelled; it was definitely the best show on television by far!!!!!!

Another great show that you have to watch is on fx is
it’s always sunny in philadelphia..it’s as funny as arrested development and they get way with more crude stuff because they are on cable!

HBO didn’t cancel Deadwood, the creators of the show decided to finish it up. There is supposed to be a Deadwood movie coming out that ties up some loose ends and gives us some closure.

That was a great series though. HBO has some excellent ones: the Sopranos, the Wire, 6 Feet Under, Rome, Da Ali G show, Curb Your Enthusiasm are all very good.
