I love Kendrick Perkins, I hate the Miami Heat. Therefore, I love what happened during last night's OKC/Miami matchup. I love that DWade is giving Perk the "stare down" as he follows him down the court.
Really? What are you gonna do about it D-Bag? I REALLY hope that Russell Westbrook was taunting him as well, knowing that Perk-A-Lurk was there to protect him. The best part of this incident was what happened after the game when Perk was asked about it and said that it wasn't intentional, he just happened to be there. (Looking for that clip, but can't find it yet).
Hey Danny, thanks again for trading Perk away. While it's not Jeff Green's fault he has a heart issue, and while he was looking real nice dressed up and sitting on the C's bench last night for moral support, the trade NEVER made any sense. PERK FOR PRESIDENT! Ainge is Strange!
This guy in the FUK LBJ shirt just kills it. If comedy is all about timing, this guy nailed it.
If Delonte wasn't balls deep in LeBron's mom, Gloria would be pissed.
Let's go Bulls. No D-Rose and playing a great game. Of course it will come down to the fourth quarter, but LeBron will be boarding a plane back to Miami as soon as the third quarter ends.

PS: Is that Zuckerberg in the bottom left corner? The Wiklevoss twins must be sitting up in the nosebleeds.
Atlanta Journal Constitution - And now, from the, “Dewey Defeats Truman” file, we give you: “Congratulations Miami!”
That’s how a near-full page newspaper ad read in Monday morning’s Miami Herald. In the mother of all mistakes — or should that be the “King James” of all mistakes? — somebody in the Herald’s composing department inadvertently slapped the wrong Macy’s advertisement in the newspaper, promoting Miami Heat “championship” T-shirts and hats being for sale at the department store.
It’s common for print publications to have two display ads ready to go in championship events. T-shirt manufacturers do the same thing. But what makes this mistake unusual is the Heat trailed the NBA finals three games to two going into Sunday night’s game and were
The shirts picture the Heat logo with the championship trophy and words like “Champions” and “Raise Another Banner.”not yet in a position to win the best-of-seven series. Only Dallas could clinch the title Sunday night — and did.
Then again, it’s not like most folks in South Florida haven’t been presumptuous about the Heat’s championship aspirations since LeBron James and Chris Boshsigned in free agency and joined Dwyane Wade. Their signings were celebrated at a news conference, complete with pyrotechnics. James, the guy with the, “Chosen 1″ tattoo across his back, himself promised eight championships.
Still waiting for the first.
Maybe everybody can have a collector’s T-shirt as a consolation prize.
UPDATE: The website Poynter.orghas picked up on the story and reports: “A.J. Protash of the Herald’s ad department tells me there’s an investigation into how the ad ended up in the paper.”
Bandwagon fans, bandwagon players, and bandwagon city. What do you expect? I guess they figured that since LeBron won two more games than he won during his first trip to the Finals, it was basically the same as winning the whole thing (2:25 mark). A little bit like Little League, they want to make sure Lil' Bron Bron gets a trophy, just like everyone else.
Please allow me to bask in the schadenfreude of LeEgo failing, yet again, to come up big in the NBA Finals. The past year has just been an eye-opening experience in terms of how fragile and out of touch LeBron really is. There was the ill-conceived "Decision," the brutal WWE-style intro for him and the other two stooges in Miami, guaranteeing championships, blaming and bumping his coach (coincidentally, against the Mavs), some epic press conferences, and finally the choking throughout this year's finals.
Did anyone else see this last night? What the hell was going on here? For me, it was the deranged look in his eyes rather than the wild tongue action that REALLY got my attention. I guess The Heat have a secret weapon and now each of Miami's "Big Three" have nicknames. We've got "The King", "D-Wade", and now, "The Tongue". It was enough for this play, but "The Tongue" wasn't enough to 'lick' Dallas in Game 2.
Personally, I think he's looking more like a lizard than an ostrich in this clip.
Go MAVS!
P.S. Remember this? Trying to decide which one is more disturbing. Any thoughts?
After Chris Bosh's spectacular 6 point, 5 rebound performance at the Garden in game three, we hear that he battled through a stiff neck from sleeping the wrong way (:42 second mark is awesome as the reporter asks how he hurt his neck, then audibly laughs at him). This came out AFTER we saw Rajon Rondo have his arm bent the wrong way after being assisted to the ground by Wade, come back 15 minutes later and play the entire fourth quarter. Not seen in this clip is how Bosh let his nerves get to him because of the crowd. Watch him get up from the table, also a classic moment. If you are going to the game tonight, I beg of you to go absolutely crazy. If you have to crush Red Bulls, do a mountain of coke Tony Montana style, whatever it takes to get yourself going. The Heat cannot handle it. Bosh especially, but LeEgo can't handle not being loved every minute of the day. Crush their spirits.
Onto the Dynamically Douchey Duo of D-Wade and LeEgo. When Bron Bron doesn't like questions from reporters, apparently he resorts to calling them "retarded" like a nine year old (:21 second mark). In all honesty, Bron is most likely the one who has had retarded social growth and really does act like a petulant nine year old. I pray that a reporter asks him about that quip at some point, so I can hear what bullshit he comes up with. I also hope someone asks them if they go sweater shopping together.
It ain't a series until someone loses at home. Let's see how everyone performs in front of real fans rather than seats wrapped in white t-shirts. You know what told me all I needed to know? When the game was over and the Cs were walking toward the tunnel through the stands and there was only one fan talking shit. Can you imagine that happening in Boston? No. Freaking. Way. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and in LeBron's case, hide yo mom too, Celtics gonna be rapin' errbody up in the Garden on Thursday.

Update: So game three isn't until Saturday. That may be a very good thing. It will give Shaq time to work on his cheer leading routine he was working on a few days ago. Who cares that he couldn't play in game two. How's the calf, Shaq?
So, this morning I was awoken with the following text from KC Jones: "I'll take Osama getting killed over a Celts victory any day. USA USA USA!"
Truer words have never been spoken. My guess is that yesterday Obama gave the Cs a call to consult with KG, Paul, Ray, and Rondo about the Navy Seal Mission, so they were really thinking about that and not completely focused on the game. Game 2? Watch out Bron Bron, because your playoff hopes are going to be disposed of at sea as well. Boston Harbor all up in yo sh!t!
I think I speak for both Big Ran and myself when I thank the Celtics for not ruining Easter. While they totally quit at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th, I liked what we saw for the most part. Production from everyone (not just the Big Four, but Big Baby, West, etc.), smothering defense, and toughness. The first half of the game showed what the Celtics are capable of if they commit to winning. I like that team's chances. However, since there is always a chance that they'll regress back to what we saw as a 23 point lead was squandered, I remain nervous and sometimes skeptical. Anyway, in addition to ending the series in 4 games, another positive is the fact that Baby Bron Bron, D-Bag, and Company COULDN'T get it done against Philly today (another Easter miracle!). This means more rest for the Celtics before the next round, which SHOULD (barring a miracle) be a matchup against the Heat. So, in honor of our team's series sweep, let's get pumped for the next series.
P.S. Spike- better luck next year!
P.P.S. Since it looks like we'll be facing Miami, everyone get their masks printed out in honor of the rumored love affair between Delonte and Gloria James. Hey Lebron, you've been bad and your stepfather and his friends will be coming to spank you soon!
