The Two-Day Loser Thread: The Loserer The Betterer

PrintA famous saying goes, "you give a dog a bone, and it asks for the entire skeleton." Okay, that was just totally invented by me. Anyway, first time in my entire PtR life (that's about 3 years - 2 1/2 of those in lurker mode, mind you) that a loser thread was recycled. Reused. Kinda like your underwear switched to Side B when you ran out of a clean piece. Ewww.
Do we really love basketball that much? Do we really enjoy bashing other teams and their not-quite-Spurs players? Do we really like hanging out at some webspace with e-friends who might be even crazier than how they act in the threads? Maybe even crazier than *gasp* Ron Artest? Do we really find satisfaction in checking out links that burn time away from the productive stuff like working and sleeping and drinking tea with our pinkie finger up while holding the cup handle? If your answer is yes to all these questions, then you belong here, you clinically depressed chap loser.
Tonight's loser thread is an extra special: doubleheader for the double loser. Hah, who says that only those big TV networks can host doubleheaders? Here at PtR, we do it with style - two games, two days, one hack thread. Beat that you capitalist monster, you suit, you!!!
Alright, the rules are, just like everything for LeBron except winning a title, quite easy. Feel free to post in this thread for tonight's game - Lakers vs. Nuggets - and tomorrow's elimination game (oooo... I heart elimination games!), Cavaliers vs. Magic. Just continuous, shameless posting. This one's for the record books, so stand up and be counted!
Oh yeah, the preview. I almost forgot. Double the game thread equals double the hackish-ness, so no photoshopping fun for me today. But still, I have... pictures!
Fisher: Didn't you get the memo about the Kobe-LeBron Finals?
Referee: Hey, I ain't sucking no commissioner's balls!
And we thought there was only one Birdman in the house. Apparently, this one's a chicken.
"Observe how easily I can manipulate this ball, you pathetic, lowly Nugget!"
Luke Walton puts the Lakers in a... uh, very compromising position. Stop peeking, JR!
You want your Game 4 summary? Basically, Lakers sucked. JR Smith went nuts, in a good, scoring way. Kobe scored. Melo had the flu and sprained his ankle a bit. Kobe scored. Chauncey was steady and composed. Kobe scored. A female hotel employee from Colorado entered the room. Kobe scored!!!
Now how about that Cavs-Magic Game 4, eh? The LeBroneers are in a deep hole, but it ain't over 'til the fat commish sings. Still, pictures.

"Hey Kobe, uh... remember that Finals thing we talked about? Listen, sorry I can't make it... I have to, uh, go to China in June 'coz, uh... I gotta keep up with the global icon thing, ya know? The 'chip can wait."
"Uh-oh... these lions reaaallly look friendly now. Where the hell are my teammates when I need them?"
"How do you like me now, fools? How do you like the 400-pound me now??!!"
Karate is back, baby!!!
And lastly... belated Happy Mother's Day?

"Moooom!!! I told you to wear your lucky pink socks, dammit! Look what happened!"
The playoff gods have spoken. This year's NBA playoffs, with the exception of the Spurs' first round exit, have been intense and worth watching. As one of my friends liked to say, "Let's keep on keeping on." This makes me want to take that extra step. Don't be shy. C'mon now.

Go Thuggets!
Nice read. I like the Kobe/Billups picture. It looks like they’re having a Jedi mind battle over the ball. Much like this dog:
I’ve been trying to pull for the Nugz, but damnit it’s so hard to root for JR and Martin. Those two guys are the biggest ass clowns that I found myself secretly hoping that Kobe would dunk on both those guys.
Completely agree. I still maintain my position of, “Simply rooting against the lakers.” I’m comfortable with that.
On a related note, doesn’t anyone else find it disturbing that the denver thuggets/coach hairlip are only one win away from the Finals?! And at that, a Finals that they would be favored to win??!! I’m developing an ulcer at the possibility. Basketball is getting ever closer to being a game I can’t enjoy anymore.

The Nugs are 2 wins away, unless your psychic and you know something we don’t know. But still, that’s 2 wins closer than I would have ever imagined.

They’ll be 1 win away, mark my words. But yes, I misspoke. Go back to work.

You’ll have to ask the bossman that one. LD and I actually volunteered, but the talk about it kinda fizzled. Maybe they do have rules about language and drinking references. Pansies, all of ’em.

I know it’s the biggest cliche, but in his case it really is striking how small the ball looks in his hands.
He could block dunks. He could block dunks.
Can you imagine watching him and Russell play against each other?
“Dear Santa,
Please being me a time machine and season tickets for the 1961-62 Philadelphia Warriors. I have been very good all year, ask anyone.
Yrs. truly,
Me"
You Wilt lovers. I suggest you read “The Rivalry” by John Taylor, it’s a good book on the Russell-Chamberlain era. It’s like a great chapter on the history book of basketball, and helps you really appreciate the old timers more. And oh yeah, Wilt rocks. He hated the nickname Stilt, by the way.
by silverandblack_davis on May 28, 2009 9:39 AM CDT up reply actions
But he liked the name “The Big Dipper,” and he even named his estate “Ursa Major.”
Here is a (watermarked, alas) fabulous picture of Wilt eating alone under his huge chandelier.
That’s a great pic, I actually have that same dining room and just as many friends.

On the subject of winning and rings...
I’ve always had an intrigue with Sports rings. Does anyone know exactly all of the things that teams get rings for? I know that team members receive Championship rings, obviously. I’m pretty sure that rings are awarded to each member of the All-Star team every year. But…what else? Do players get a ring for winning an Eastern or Western Conference Championship? Do they get one for winning their division? Is it at the respective team’s descretion? How about for winning an award (DPOY, Coaching, MVP) Any info is appreciated!

Orlando has shown some real resilience here. Down by 23 — they could have caved in. But they’re clawing their way back.
