The NBA
It's pretty tough to come by "Basquet" games here so, with the start of the playoffs, I've found my way to Chubbs American bar about 3 times in the last 8 days to watch all the hoops I can possibly digest. Also, the waitresses are attractive reformed prostitutes (just worth mentioning).
Here are my observations of the NBA as I understand it after watching about 10 games. Feel free to weigh in with some of your own.
* I am better at basketball than Jermaine O'Neal. Dude is a corpse.
* LeBron is the only person to know how to refer to himself in the 4th person.
* Josh Smith is the only player in NBA history to jam his neck on the JumboTron (which was supplied by Brady Haaaasss).
* The Thunder are fun. They're not good. But they're fun.
* Derrick Rose may not have really graduated high school, but damnit, if he had someone to pass to that wasn't a sub-par veteran (Luol Deng is not good Lubahn) then maybe Chicago wouldn't be an 8-seed that really "challenged" the 1-seed every year.
* It appears the mandatory route to true NBA success is to create a team with at least 3 current or past all-stars. If you do not meet this requisite, you are not a real contender.
Boston: Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Wallace, Rondo and even Moses Finley
Cleveland: Shaq, Jamison, LeBrenda
Lakers: Do I really need to list them?
Mavs: See above
SA: Big 3 + Jefferson
Magic: Carter, Lewis, Dwight
Phx (contender?): Nads, Amare, Richardson
(I don't consider Utah or Denver contenders. That may not be fair)
* Chris Anderson's Dad is Puck from the Real World
As for the main series we all care about:
* Tony Parker is great. Blessed be the franchise that discovered him.
* Dirk Nowitzki is fantastic. Blessed be the franch...yeah, yeah, you get it.
* It is fun to watch two teams beat the shit out of each other
* Eddie Najera learned a lot from the Thuggets. Maybe too much.
* Annual playoff complaining about referees makes me nauseas (spelling nauseas is awkward)

Williams, I appreciate you coming back around to the wide world of sports, but I am not really sure what your post was meant to be... was that a breakdown? I was really into it at first, especially with the reformed prostitute mention, but as your post went on I wasnt really sure what you were trying to accomplish....
* I am better at basketball than Jermaine O'Neal. Dude is a corpse.
- I agree with this, you are a lot better.
* LeBron is the only person to know how to refer to himself in the 4th person.
- OK
* Josh Smith is the only player in NBA history to jam his neck on the JumboTron (which was supplied by Brady Haaaasss).
- Not sure what this meant but a Brady Haass Jumbotron reference is always funny.
* The Thunder are fun. They're not good. But they're fun.
- The Thunder won 50 games this year, they are good. Just young. I predict they win tonight and Game 7 is close.
* Derrick Rose may not have really graduated high school, but damnit, if he had someone to pass to that wasn't a sub-par veteran (Luol Deng is not good Lubahn) then maybe Chicago wouldn't be an 8-seed that really "challenged" the 1-seed every year.
- Why did they get rid of Gordon and Salmons??? KEEP VINNY DEL NEGRO! Hes a great coach!
* It appears the mandatory route to true NBA success is to create a team with at least 3 current or past all-stars. If you do not meet this requisite, you are not a real contender.
- 3 has always been the magic number for basketball. Two can get you far, but 3 usually gives you the extra nod.
Boston: Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Wallace, Rondo and even Moses Finley
- Dangerous, but Garnett is looking a little slow. Still could beat the Cavs though.
Cleveland: Shaq, Jamison, LeBrenda
- LeBron show, thats it. No one else is really an A player.
Lakers: Do I really need to list them?
- Bench is weak, Kobe is hurt, very vulnerable. Might lose to Thunder.
Mavs: See above
- Not sure this series is over if Avery was still coaching. Lots of questionable decisions by Carlise.
SA: Big 3 + Jefferson
- Big 3 + JEFFERSON?! Adam Williams meet George Hill, George Hill meet my friend Adam.
Magic: Carter, Lewis, Dwight
- Probably the favorite to come out of the East in my opinion.
Phx (contender?): Nads, Amare, Richardson
- Phx hates the Spurs and will be trying to avoid losing to them in the playoffs for the 5th time in a decade. Should be a brutal series. Supposedly they play defense now.
(I don't consider Utah or Denver contenders. That may not be fair)
- Denver No, Utah Yes. Deron Williams is the best PG in the league. If the Spurs advance to the WCF, I might rather play LA than Utah.
* Chris Anderson's Dad is Puck from the Real World
- I heard that too.
As for the main series we all care about:
* Tony Parker is great. Blessed be the franchise that discovered him.
- Ditto for MANU!
* Dirk Nowitzki is fantastic. Blessed be the franch...yeah, yeah, you get it.
- I like Dirk and I felt sorry for him last night. I did not feel sorry for Mark Cuban.
* It is fun to watch two teams beat the shit out of each other
- The Spurs did a pretty good job at frustrating the Mavs into stupid fouls, and techs.
* Eddie Najera learned a lot from the Thuggets. Maybe too much.
- Played HS ball in San Antonio. Does he really have to grease his hair for every game? He is pesky, but he isnt that intimidating.
* Annual playoff complaining about referees makes me nauseas (spelling nauseas is awkward)
- Yup NBA is rigged so that the smallest market team (the Spurs) win 4 championships over 9 seasons. Makes a lot of sense. Basketball is the hardest game to call.
I wish everyone wouldn't write so much....
I the fuk is T Lue not still dominating in the NBA!
Lubahn. Really. A two sentence post and one of them starts with "I the fuk is".
Kevin, as I mentioned, I have only caught about 10 games all year. The post was my interpretation of the NBA having no knowledge of it throughout the first 82 games of the year. I wasn't trying to "accomplish" anything. Well, maybe I was trying to post the first thing with text and originality in the last few weeks.
As far as your response, you are a loyal guy and you love the Spurs. All of your observations are Spurs saturated, which is fine as the diehard black-and-silver fan you are, but, it's just too slanted to be reasonable. Grouping George Hill in with all-stars is illogical. You disagree, but he is a Spur and you are a Spurs fan.
I intentionally took no sides in my post. Observations have more merit when they are objective.
See George Hill's performance agaisnt Rose in last year's pre-season (one of the few tines he saw legit minutes last season). He actually shut down Rose. So it was a fairly accurate statement.
I did like the reference to Puck from the 2nd Real World. That guy hated the geighs and had lots of scabs. Crusty ass dude yo....
i don't follow basquet, but, lebron james is what i would call a man-child. i honestly think he holds back. wait til he fully develops.
"i the fuk is t lue" -- lubahn was describing himself in the fourth person in the nba?
will someone explain the fourth person to me?
Weiss, did you just cite an NBA pre-season game as your source for why George Hill is good?
"I the fuk is" is now our official motto.
Just wanted it to be known that he is a better draft pick than Derrick Rose is all.
Who are the best fans in sports? And when I say best I think the qualifications are loyalty, knowledge, and respect for the game.
NBA: San Antonio Spurs
MLB: St. Louis Cardinals
NFL: Green Bay Packers
I am objective.
i love lamp.
George Hill is not better than Derrick Rose. Please stop.
- Boston Red Sox fans
- Chicago Cubs fans (the ones who live in the city, not the ones from Ames, Iowa)
- Seems like OKC hoops fans are pretty excited
So OKC has better fans?

Sports trivia tit:
Spurs organzation started in Funkytown.
Thanks Faust. I'm with you.
Sox fan>s yuppie Cub's fan all day A-Dub. Loyalty = attacking the opposing team's first base coach after drinking 17 "Old Styles"...very Hooligan/Borderline insane. Why don't we throw Man U in the mix?
Cubs fans are crazy fairweather and go to games to socialize. I sat in Popovich's seats in game six and lost my voice by the 3rd quarter. The grandma in front of me had to earmuff her grandchil'n. I love the SPURS and all my 'dirty Mexican' brethren!
Packers fans are the greatest fans on earth. Green Bay stops, literally stops on Sunday's.
does sunday's possess greenbay? like lubahn's do minnesota's lake's...
Last night ESPN discussed that the San Antonio Spurs led by Tim Duncan, Tony Park, Manu Ginobili, and GEORGE HILL. George Hill will be a star in this league, no doubt in my mind. I love Dereck Rose, but I would back Weiss up by saying that George Hill is just as good if not better. George wont get near as the exposure in SA as he would if he were the star in Chicago like Rose is. I the fuk is
Speaking of sports, let's discuss the AZ immigration law.
If you look Hispanic, you will be pulled over or asked to prove your identification in AZ. I think this means Portillo just changed his travel plans.
Ohhhhhhh. Spicy.
Though this is a big black smear on AZ, eventually someone had to be the guinea pig on immigration reform, which has been discussed since 2005 (at least). I think a much more tactful law could be passed that doesn't demonize all "Mexican looking people", but, if limiting the flow of illegal immigrants has been national concern for years, I would not be vehemently opposed to an immigration law trial run.
Viva the Right wing.
What do you guys think?
What do you think George Hill thinks?
I wondered if political commentary would stunt the strand.
SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS!!!
Probably a little bit too stringent in Arizona. Wonder if Spurs fans will protest in some sort of fashion.
Williams, I take back what I said about you being better than Jermaine O'Neal.
The reason sports brings 17 comments to a thread is because people are not afraid to talk about sports, its 100% harmless. Politics, sex, and religion - 3 topics that groups of FRIENDS should avoid - IMO.
I hope no one would ever be afraid to talk about anything amongst friends. If I didn't talk about sex with Miller, we would just stare at each other and grunt. Maybe burp too.
Sex, politics and religion play more important roles in our lives than sports. At least I hope so.
I'd much rather debate opinions on health care reform than whether or not George Hill is good.
If I come back to live in the states and break my arm dunking over one of you at Trail Lake, George Hill is not going to cover my expenses. "Politics" actually might.
In My Opinion (IMO), a time should come when sports are less important. They are entertainment, such as video games, nerf guns, ninja turtles and TV shows about stars that dance. Sure they are fun every now and then, but too much concern with them is unhealthy. That is MO (my opinion).
Feel free to boo me off the stage.
When we gonna post that next video??!
TTYL.
I would take sex out of the big 3. Sex is fun to talk about. Im not talking about sex with your wife. I am talking about Scarlett Johansen, that hot bartender, a hilariously terrible hand job, etc...
I think politics and religion are tough. There is no one here (that I know of) that is hard core for either side. I think opening up a little conversation about such topics is good with friends.
However, talking with a friend and posting something on the blog are different. I may tell Chambers that I voted for Anise Parker (first openly lesbian mayor in the US- one more reason Houston is cooler than you think) and he may bash me because she likes art. But, when you write something on the blog it is on THE INTERNET. THE INTERNET is completely open for anyone to see and so I understand someone being a little skeptical of posting sensitive issues.
And religion, well, no one talks about that...
TMI?
I'm a straight liberal who believes in God, happy Williams? Gotta get back to the game, Go Spurs Go and it feels good to root for my hometown!
And if you break your wittle arm playing basketball then I'll probably tell you to drink more milk, not who you should vote for.
Faust and I beat you 11-0.
We re hashed that match up at the lake and beat Dallas with a ficking girl on our team. She was a milf and Benson licked out guarding her and letting her post him up.
I wasn't there. Game void.
You live in a fantasy world George Hill.
Cody Piel is a far better athlete than you. I believe Faust said that in reference to that game. Game 1 was played on a four square court with fucking 7 ft rims. Game void.
And Lubahn didnt have to play. 2-2 is a big difference than 3-2,Lubahn
We all played on the same court with the same goal. On that court, your team did not register a made field goal.
Truth be told, if you were to beat us 11-0, I would own up to it, tip my hat and say, "you killed me". Like the time I ate 9 pancakes and Faust and Lubahn worked me and Miller. Crushed us. Like three games in a row. It hurt. I don't deny it.
I also once was spotted a 20 point lead in a game to 32 against an 18 year old in Memphis. I bet $10 on me. About 46 crunk ass kids watched me lose 32-28. (That's a 32-8 run, if you're scoring at home)
He dunked for the last two points and said "Yeah, white boii! Pay up" while still hanging on the rim. I gave him $10 and left the gym without saying a word.
When you lose, own up to it. Denying it just makes you look worse.
No one is denying that you and Faust,... excuse me, you beat us. We just want a fair rematch is all. Are you coming to Texas this summer? Lake house trip for the 4th/my birthday. We are installing a basketball hoop at the new lakehouse. Its on Donkey Kong, you better show your face!
Faust scored 4 or 5 buckets, which is 4 or 5 more than your team.
I dont know when I am coming back yet, though I am sure that if we play, you will be absolutely annihilated again.
