Some Pre-Super Bowl Basketball and Why Hibachi is Doper than You…

So the Raps disposed of a decent Clipper team that had no desire to defend, running up season highs for total points in a game and at halftime. Five guys had 17 or more with a total of six in double figures. And that’s pretty much what has caught the attention of the Lig: the distribution of offense and the overall team passing. Now that this notion of .500 ball doesn’t seem so unfamiliar, the only thing left to do is beat some of the better teams left on the schedule. I guarantee you, if the Raps manage to pull out that win in Detroit next Saturday, somebody better start talking about bandwagon management. With all these recent home court wins, I guess I should shout out the local secret weapon: ladies, keep lovin’ those American ballers…it makes it a bitch for them to play 'd' the next day, especially on those 'early' Sunday games.

Right now, Detroit is handling the Cavs in Cleveland, and I don’t know what’s more annoying: the constant stream of LeBron dick-riding by the commentators, with Mark Jackson going for originality (‘Trust me, when LeBron was finishing high school, a lot of NBA guys thought he would become a big flop when he got to the League…” Huh?) or the Pussycat Doll-laden spots for the NBA on ABC. Granted, she’s the hottest, most talented one…but can somebody tell the lead Pussycat to get a ’24’ Lakers jersey on. I don’t know what’s more played, the ‘eight’ or the impending career path of her fellow cat-mates…

The Gilbert story that I linked to the other day now has an accompanying video (spotted on Deadspin). Now you get to see how he took that 20 large off of poor DeShawn’s hands…some amazing stuff. I was still pretty impressed with DS’s set shooting, but the repeated purity of some of those one-handed college threes was a sight to behold.

The only thing that’s left to say is…’Go Bears!’ The Peyton-riding during/after a Colts win would overshadow even the worst violating of LeBron's jock seen thus far. Could be a rough NFL offseason...
