Keep the Bud Select 55 on Ice
I recently made good on my fishy NBA Finals bet and treated Lakers homer Ryantific to a sushi boat in celebration of Los Angeles’ Game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics. (If he had lost, RK woulda been forced to drink a case of Bud Select: while watching the World Cup!). Here’s a look at [...]
Is Tweeting legal in Arizona? How about playing defense?
I wasn’t in the tweeting mood during Monday’s Western Conference Finals opener, which the Los Angeles Lakers won 128-107 over the Phoenix Suns, but if I were, here’s what this bird woulda chirped: If Lamar “The Candy Man” Odom plays like this the rest of the way, give the Lakers the trophy now. Someone get [...]
Lakers’ First-Round Foe: Can OKC Bring the Thunder?
Oklahoma City’s loss in Portland on Monday night officially sealed their first-round fate, ensuring a playoff matchup with the Lakers starting this weekend at the Staples Center. Bad news for Thunder fans, so sayeth the common wisdom. Basketball blogs have been saying for weeks that every other West team simply wanted to avoid that first-round [...]
LAKERS BABY
Now that the dust, champagne, confetti and rioting has settled, let’s look back at some thoughts from a weekend in Vegas, my 32nd birthday (I’m feeling really old after this one) and, oh yeah, the Los Angeles Lakers winning the NBA Finals in five games over the Orlando Magic: I might not love Derrick Fisher [...]
Kobe vs. LeBron: Who’s the best closer in the game?
According to Jeff VanGundy and ABC and ESPN and Fox Sports Net and Co.: Kobe Bryant is the “best closer in the game.” Well, Tuesday night he wasn’t. Two huge turnovers and missing 12 of your final 16 shots (not to mention 5 of 10 free throws) would suggest otherwise. But does this make Kobe [...]
Bruno vs. Eminem? Gimme Kobe vs. D-Howard
OK, so all anyone is going to talk about Monday morning at work is Bruno, aka Sacha Baron Cohen or “Borat,” tea-bagging Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards tonight. Yeah, I saw it: watched the MTV Movie Awards with the wifey in between doing laundry, while the rest of the hommies played a poker tournament [...]
Is Chauncey Billups Hall of Fame material?
While we’re on the topic of potential Hall of Famers: How about Chauncey Billups? I brought this up last night to a couple WCBias representatives after Chauncey Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Billups put the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. Billups isn’t exactly a name that says “First-Ballot Hall of Famer.” (Wait, is there such a thing as [...]
Los Angeles, We Have a Problem
What the hell? Ryantific and I just got done watching tonight’s Lakers-Rockets game and are trying to figure out how Los Angeles lost to Houston – a team the Lakers spanked during the regular season. Here are some of the reasons we came up with: How many beers did we drink? Was it the Swine [...]
Who’s the better basketball player, Kobe the distributor or Kobe the finisher?
It’s easy to answer when you look at the way the Laker’s are rolling so far in the 2009 playoffs. There’s about 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter of game 2 against Utah. Kobe’s got 3 points and 5 assists and the Lakers are ahead by 12. But if Kobe had numbers like that [...]
