I trust that most of you have been enjoying the 2006 NBA Playoffs. The biggest surprise to me was how well GILBERT ARENAS can fill up the hole(no TOM CRUISE). When he wasn’t taking it hard to the rim, he was popping it from deep(no JAKE GYLENHAAL). It was nice to see some new names and faces emerge on the scene. Even SHOWBEE BRYANT almost made me root for him. Keep in mind that STEVE NASH is an illegal immigrant from Canada who has overstayed his travel visa. Let’s see if INS kicks in his door. Mr.KAMOJI, I got your back if you come stateside player, but just remember that fish and visitors smell bad after three days.
I have enjoyed the games that I’ve watched, but with some of these contests creeping into the early mornings I have had to catch up with the results on the 6am SportsCenter. I suppose there isn’t much that you can do when a contest goes to O.T. out west. What frustrates me is that there are hell’a great players in the Western Conference that I can’t peep until if and when they make the Finals. To this extent I thought of changing the format for the playoffs. This can work with the NFL as well. Peep the technique…
Seed the teams that make the playoffs 1 through 16
Make a bracket similiar to the Final Four tourney where the team with the best record plays the team with the worst, the team with the second best record plays the second worst team, etc. By virtue of league record, then conference stats, and finally, the inter-divisional marks I have created the seeding for what should have been the first round.
1) Detroit vs. 16) Milwaukee
This went down anyhoo in the old format. We all knew that the Bucks stopped here.
2) San Antonio vs. 15) Chicago
Chicago is game and gritty plus I would have liked to see the NOCIONI / GINOBILLI matchup(no Italian paisan brokeback)
3) Dallas vs. 14) Indiana
Not too much to see here. Since Indy doesn’t have the guns or the legs they will be brought to their knees.
4) Phoenix vs. 13) Washington
Two teams that could give less than a fuck about playing defense. This would have been like vintage ABA basketball with each team scoring no less than 160 points per game. I call this matchup the Sega Classic. ARENAS averages 70ppg.
5) Miami vs. 12) Sacramento
SHAQ’s dominance over Sac-Town continues even after ARTISTE hits him in the head with an elbow.
6) Cleveland vs. 11) Denver
This is a treat for all the the PS2 geeks that are complaining that LeBREEZY catches too much shine over MELO. Too bad that Denver didn’t even stand a chance.
7) New Jersey vs. 10) Los Angeles Lakers
Get your TiVO’s setup for SHOWBEE and the Showstoppers against PRINCESS CARTER and the S.Dots. Would somebody please write a rap about this shit.
8) Memphis vs. 9) Los Angeles Clippers
I am on the PAUL GASOL beardwatch team. Captain Caaaaaaaaaaaveman!
The only way to get to see these games now is with an Xbox. This is the one instance where the NBA should let the high schoolers decide whats best for themselves. Otherwise the Association will continue to get trumped in the television ratings to NASCAR even on days when the races are rained out.
Please believe it!
Just ’cause Stevie Franchise’s face was in the picture… you know that was Dwight Howard catching a strong whiff and that Stevie Franchise wouldn’t be playing D like that anyway.
Gilbert Arenas is the truth… strong, hard-working, down-to-earth. But he’s a bit nutty. No BB.
I have too much damn fun over here. *insert giggling smiley here*
L.M., never BB in your style, but you know Dwight’s breath was mad funky in the lockerroom after the game.
damn, kobe has a strange way of saying “welcome to the league.”
Shaq still fine. LeBron look like somebody’s grandaddy.
Smells like sweaty superstar talent. and fresh vanessa backshots. extra deep. extra crispy.
dude got a sack-print on his jaw. girls call ’em dimples.
