So we’re watching the Spurs-Lakers game right? And espn is having a half-time special on… Labron James.
Shit. Gotta prep for work. Hold the fort for me, beaches.

Before reading a recent Slate article, I knew little about eels except for this awesome Mighty Boosh song.But this article, about the amazing migration of the eels, opened my eyes to a world of navigational ass kicking.
Check this shit out, the eels of the genus Anguilla are all born in the same place, the Sargasso Sea, between Bermuda and the Bahamas. Why this place? Scientists have many theories, but my theory is that eels don’t give a fuck about anything and they just roll eel style.
Now, you might ask yourself, “Hold on Hipuks, by the way you’re very funny and I’d like to know how to be as funny as you even though in the end I know it’s not possible, but anyway, hold on, I’ve seen eels in freshwater, the eff is up with that?”
This is what’s fucking up. You’ve seen salmon make their awesome voyage from ocean to rivers in order to spawn right? It’s in like every other documentary. Well, the eels do the same…except when they’re young!
3,500 miles for an eel coming from Lake Ontario, 600 miles from Florida. 4,000 or more for the Europeans. One scientist reckons nine miles of swimming a day. It takes months.
Yeah that’s right, when eels are young they make the trek all the way from the ocean to the freshwater rivers in the continents. Of course, when it’s time to breed they have to make the voyage in reverse.
Some autumn or winter day, something triggers in the eel an urge to leave its pond, lake, canal, or river and return to the sea. This comes after a decade or more of peaceful nocturnal feeding on insects and fish. (The eels will also happily do some carrion cleanup.) If there’s a dam or a log in the way as the mature eels travel downstream, or the young ones come upstream, they’ll leave the water to get around it. They’ve evolved to absorb some oxygen through their skin.
How motherfucking cool is that? Even more, nobody knows how the eels find their way to the sea.
No human being has ever seen these eels on the march to the Sargasso, or the spawning there.
Of course, humans have managed to fuck this up, as always. Eel populations have been falling drastically over the years, and no one seems to be sure as to why. It could be overfishing, it could be pollutants in the water, it could be those ugly, evil dams ( in many places they’re constructing “eel ladders” so that eels can make the their way through dams), or probably a combination of those factors plus more.
Asian elvers have sold in Hong Kong for as much as $5,000 to $6,000 a kilogram at times when $1,000 would buy the same amount of American glasseels with gunfights at their catching sites. Such a kilogram, consisting of 5000 glasseels, may bring at least $60,000 and as much as $150,000 after they leave an Asian fish farm.
Yeah, let’s not stop overfishing these precious animals, let’s just charge ridiculous prices or them. I hope climate change drowns us all.
And that’s your halftime fish for today :)

Extremely excited for the Formula One race last night. My guy Alonso was driving incredibly with a gear problem in his car. It was going to be a drive for the ages. He had gone from 19th to 9th and about to get 8th. His engine blew up in the second to last lap.

First half game summary:
Mason sucks.
RJ sucks.
McDyess sucks.
But Ginobili, Duncan, Bonner, Bogans and Hill rock.
We’ve held LA to only 2 offensive boards. We have too many turnovers with 7 (5 from Manu), but we’ve forced them to 8.
Don’t turn it over, get the rebounds, move the ball well, and we can do this.
RJ needs to be aggressive on offense

duncan can hold his own on gasol!! dont double team cuz the threes open up. have confidence in ducans d mcdyess
This sequence coming out of the timeout is critical. Spurs can bust this thing WIDE open, or let l.a. back in the game. Gotta go for the kill right fucking now, IMO.

Not necessarily. If Kobe gets into one of his Iverson-modes while he pisses off Gasol, we could easily win this game while playing like crap.
Wouldn’t bet on it tho. Get your shit together, Spurs.
We can’t expect for him to sit on that 4-16 FG right? He is getting his in this quarter.
Going for the first even year championship!
I love this “focus” commercial cuz it shows Manu diving into the baseline in that game against OKC.

I honestly won’t be surprised if we blow this game, I mentally prepared myself for a loss but come on, the Lakers and Kobe are playing awful. If we can’t beat them now we’ll never be able to beat them in a series.
Come on guys, don’t freak out yet. We’ve been through so much this season. We’re up by 4, in staples, with 10 minutes left. We’ve gotta keep cheering. It’s all we can do right now.

Come on Spurs..
If we win this game I’m buying good tickets to the tuesday Sacramento game and taking my girl to it. Will be my only Spurs game this whole year.
So I really want this win tonight. If we blow this one I think I’ll be so dejected I won’t want to pay a bunch of money and drive 3hrs each way for the Kings game.
You taking your girl to the Sacramento game? Things are going pretty bad huh?

Don’t go too far. Kobe is having an off night. He’s had a great deal of these this season, frankly, and it’s more a sign of his age than some defender doing really well on him.
It’s more a sign that he just signed a 90-mil extension.

I think we played well and affected the Lakers. However, do they really want to meet us in the first round? I think not.

Yes, I see what you are saying. You are making sense. I am still happy to get a win like that. Now we know that we can in principle beat them in LA. We need great games from Timmeh and Manu, and we need a lot of hustle from anybody else. But it could be done. I was surprised that Phil didn’t play his bench more.

Good win and I actually got to see the whole thing — or as much as ABC showed, anyway.
This team goes as Manu goes. Yes, Timmeh had a good run against Pau in the 2nd half, but the Spurs’ runs really seemed to be keyed by what the Chemist was doing.
I’m smiling.
Alfajores cause mojo! - janieannie
But LA still got the lead down to 4 before Manu exerted himself again. He took a back seat in the 3rd to conserve energy, and then, when they got close, you could see him assert himself.
Also, as you said, our defense really seems to be coordinated as it’s been in the past. That’s as good a reason as any other to be excited. Maybe the best reason.
I hope Hill’s ankle is ok very soon.

Happy happy joy joy
Ginobili’s been so consistently excellent over the past month, it’s getting to a point where games like that are expected. I’m happy with how the team played considering they were short two point guards. Then Jefferson and Bogans had two quietly good games.
Duncan, I think, was the difference. The comparison between how he did in the previous game against LA and how he did this afternoon speaks for itself. That’s two really good games for him against some fellow All-Star big men.
Dyess said in post game interview with WOAI radio that he bumped knees with someone and he’s okay. Hill – Xray says no break, MRI to come – definite sprain but no info on how bad.
What a game! I bet I could have gotten long odds for betting Spurs -18. If Hill’s sprain isn’t too bad, and Tony comes back (and is used properly, maybe as a scoring sixth man taking Roger Mason Jr.’s minutes), the Spurs could be the most dangerous low seed since the 95 Rockets.
woohoo!!! we won again against a big team.

Ginobili absolutely dusted Ron Artest on several drives, and was able to easily navigate around Rons defense when Gino was manning the point….
Ron Artest cannot guard Manu Ginobili. Wow.

I am more and more convinced that Phil just gave this game away. He didn’t want to play the Spurs in the 1st round. His only goal for the game was to hurt our MIP.

Yea, It was all part of Phils master plan for …
1. Manu to be completely unstoppable.
2.Tim Duncan to play Gasol to a stand still.
3. Bogans and Hill to take turns harassing Kobe until he looked utterly exhausted by the end of the first half.
4. And for Manu to turn the mindgame tables on Artest and take him out of the game.
Kondor, comeon dude. Give the Spurs all the credit. They out- toughed the Lakeshow in their own building fare and square. I dont believe for a millisecond that " Phil threw the game "
