2011 NBA Playoff Predictions: NBA Finals
Then moving up to the 2 meeting of the 2010-11 season, both clubs have gone through major changes since their last meeting on December 20th. For Dallas: Caron Butler was healthy and starting, and Peja Stojakovic and Corey Brewer weren't on the roster. For Miami: Udonis Haslem missed both games, Mike Miller only played in one for 4 minutes (it was his first game back from thumb surgery), Zydrunas Ilgauskas was starting, Carlos Arroyo was still on the roster (and starting point guard), and Mike Bibby wasn't. So yeah, these Finals will be like nothing we've ever seen in the past.
Now, with that being said, being bored as fuck over the past few basketball-less days drove me to re-watch both of Heat-Mavs game for this season. Despite the huge difference in both teams now, there were some interesting tidbits I learned that will affect these Finals. Here are a few:
- LeBron shouldn't guard Dirk, Chris Bosh should. After LeBron shut down Derrick Rose, everybody has been talking about him possibly guarding Dirk, but after watching the games, it's clear that Bosh would be the best option. Of course Haslem (who did a great job on Dirk in the '06 Finals) wasn't there, but Dirk dogged everybody else that guarded him except Bosh. As the Heat have been saying, Dirk is gonna make shots regardless of who's guarding him, but I don't see the logic of taking your best perimeter defender and making him guard a 7-footer who can back him down and shoot over him, much like he constantly did when Joel Anthony was on him. Plus, if LeBron is guarding the low post, that means he’s not out in transition on fast break opportunities and I doubt Miami wants that. Bosh and Haslem should split duties guarding Dirk.
- Bosh is a match up problem for Dallas. A common theme in both games against Dallas was Bosh shooting wide open jumpers, especially early on. Dirk isn't the best defender, so while Bosh guarded him a lot, he guarded Zydrunas Ilgauskas a lot. Tyson Chandler spent the most time on Bosh, but he was reluctant to come out to the wing, thus Bosh shooting open jumpers. As he showed in the East Finals, Bosh is more than capable of hitting open jumpers, so the Mavs definitely need to look into better options defending him.
- Jason Kidd can't guard Wade. I know I'm not breaking any news here, but at age 38, Kidd just didn't seem to have the quickness to stay in front of Wade. I know Kidd did a nice job on Kobe in round 2, but Kobe is old, Wade isn't. Dallas should stay clear of sticking Kidd on Wade.
- DeShawn Stevenson did a great job defending Wade. On the other hand, Stevenson was able to stay in front of Wade and not let him drive to the basket for easy scored. If I'm Dallas, I play him big minute just for that fact alone.
- Mario Chalmers can't guard J.J. Barea. Being that they're both back-up point guards, it'd make sense to have Chalmers guard Barea, but in the 2 game earlier this season, Barea constantly beat him off the dribble and got lay-up. I'm assuming Miami noticed this too since they said they're gonna approach guarding him like they approached guarding Derrick Rose. I don't think that means they'll stick LeBron on him, but Wade did a great job of containing him, so it’ll probably be his job.
- Caron Butler will be missed. When your 2nd best player is out for the season, it’s obvious he’ll be missed, but he really did a number on the Heat in those 2 games this season. He held LeBron to 5 of 19 shooting in the first game, and 6 of 17 shooting in the second (including 0 points in the first half) while leading the team in scoring with 23 points. He could be the difference in this series.
Dallas' Key To Victory: Closing down the lane. Despite LeBron and Wade's marvelous shooting in the last 3:14 of the East Finals, you still rather have them shooting jumpers than driving to the hoop and getting your big men in foul trouble. If guys like Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood can close off the lane, it could go a long way in getting them all rings.
Miami's Key To Victory: Not getting killed from the 3-point line. When they're not getting the ball to Dirk and letting him work his magic, the Mavs want to swing the ball out on the perimeter and get open shots for their shooters like Peja Stojakovic and Jason Terry. Limit the wide open opportunities and Miami should be in good shape.
Dallas' X-Factor: Shawn Marion. Initially, I was gonna go with J.J. Barea because Mario Chalmers can't guard him (or at least he couldn't in either Heat-Mavs game from earlier this season), but I have to go with Marion because with Caron Butler out, he'll be asked to continue filling that void (which now includes guarding LeBron James). He had 2 great games off the bench for Dallas against Miami this season (14 and 5 in the first, 7 and 13 in the second), so now that he's getting more minutes, it’ll be interesting to see if he can make a true impact like he did against Oklahoma City. If he does, Miami better look out.
Miami's X-Factor: Mike Miller. Miller finally rediscovered his shot in the Eastern Conference Finals, and that was big, but his defense and rebounding will also be key for Miami. It went unnoticed, but in Udonis Haslem's breakout Game 2 against the Bulls, Miller actually had more rebounds (7) than Haslem (5). Doing the small things, as well as hitting the big shots, will be essential for Miami.
Prediction: So this is it, Dirk vs. LeBron, "Good" vs. "Evil," Germany vs. America, American Airlines Center vs. American Airlines Aren (you get the picture). Who will prevail? I’m going with Miami in 6. Though I am a Heat fan, I wouldn’t mind seeing Dirk, Kidd, and Terry finally get their rings, but I’m not as sold about them being able to beat the April-May Heat like they did the November-December Heat. I might’ve felt differently if Caron Butler was healthy, but beating this Heat team 4 times seems improbable. And that’s only magnified by Miami having home court advantage because not only are they undefeated at home this postseason, but since 1999 only 2 teams with home court have lost in the 2-3-2 format: the ’04 Lakers and the ’06 Mavs. (Then again, the Mavs were the younger, seemingly better team in the ’06 Finals and the Heat were the older team that shocked everybody by making it that far, and we all know how that turned out. Just putting it out there.)

Sean Kingston Seriously Injured In Jet Ski Accident
Now, I'm warning you, this next comment is gonna be fucked up. If you don't want to hear it, just leave now.
(You gone yet? Okay, good.)
How do we know Sean Kingston getting hurt in a jet ski accident wasn't God's way of punishing him for Beautiful Girls? I don't see why that's not a possibility, that song blew ass. Also, how do we know it's not just his pride that is in critical condition? Crashing your jet ski into a bridge when Miami is packed with tourists can't be good for the ego.
Welp, I hope dude makes a full recovery so he can once again torment us with terrible music. And speaking of terrible music, why couldn't this have happened to Lil B or Soulja Boy instead? That would've been even more beneficial to our ears than it happening to Sean Kingston. Just putting it out there.

Ex-Con Tim Donaghy Calls Out NBA For "Letting" LeBron Travel
And you know what else is crazy? The fact that he's trying to make it seem like Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr were somehow pulling for the Heat by not mentioning that he traveled. Guess what Timmy? We didn't notice it and neither did they! If anything Miller and Kerr were rooting against the Heat, not trying to cover up officiating flaws. I mean seriously, what series was he watching? Miller and Kerr couldn't have been more anti-Heat without showing up in Bulls gear.
Now, of course, Bulls fans will have this to hold their hats on and try to use it to justify Derrick Rose playing awful in the Conference Finals (because you know how LeBron traveling while trying to get fouled directly effects Rose's shooting and passing abilities and all) despite majority of them not realizing he traveled either. Forget the fact that even if the travel was called, the Bulls were still down 4 with 29 seconds left (they couldn't even score 4 points in the last 3:14 of Game 5, but they definitely had a shot at scoring 4 in the last 29 seconds of Game 4) and forget the fact that Dwyane Wade blocks the Bulls' next shot attempt anyway, I'm sure we'll get a healthy dose of this non-call somehow deciding the series from Bulls fans and Heat haters throughout next week and for years and years to come.
My only question for Donaghy is this: What's the point? Are you trying to prove to David Stern you still got it and he should give you your job back? Did you have money on the Bulls in Game 4? Do you also hate LeBron and the Heat? Is this your audition tape for the next season of The Real World? Seriously, what did you hope to accomplish with this?
Alright, I'm done. Now excuse me while I sit and wait for Donaghy's next officiating video breakdown on how the offensive foul called on LeBron with 8 seconds left in regulation of Game 4 was bullshit. (Oh yeah, I forget the NBA is rigging games to help the Heat win, so let's not mention that one.)

Calm Down & Stop Twisting Scottie Pippen's Words
Let's take a moment to look at those comments now:
"Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game, but I may go as far as to say LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he's so potent offensively that not only can he score at will, but he keeps everybody involved and you have to be on your P's and Q's on defense because no guy on the basketball court is not a threat to score when LeBron James is out there." via ESPN's Mike And Mike
Now, someone show me where Pippen said LeBron was better than Jordan and the greatest player of all-time. Don't worry, I'll wait.
"May." The man said "may." Not "is," but "may." That's "may" as in "I may get in a car accident on my way to work" or "This may be a better way to solve your problem." The word "may" indicates possibility, not inevitability. How isn't that common knowledge? And anyone with an ounce of common sense can clearly see Pippen is not taking a shot at Jordan, but rather applauding LeBron's passing ability in the quote above. Hell, half of the quote is Scottie talking about how off balance defenses have to be knowing LeBron's ability to create shots for others. Pippen's comments aren't blasphemous, they're dead on; LeBron is a better passer than Jordan. Period.
Unfortunately, majority of people don't have common sense, or hell, just sense in general, so instead of hearing what Pip actually said, they heard this:
"Michael Jordan ain't got shit on LeBron James. LeBron is a better scorer, passer, defender, teammate, and person than Jordan and is the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Go Heat!" via everyone's imagination
Let's just cut the bullshit, all this hoopla is not about Scottie Pippen and it's not about Michael Jordan, it's about everybody "hating" LeBron James for whatever reason. It's true, and do you know how I know? Because I've seen multiple NBA analysts say Dirk Nowitzki may be better than Larry Bird, and not one of them was met with anywhere near the amount of outrage or backlash as Scottie Pippen. Now, of course none of the guys who said it were teammates of Bird (at least as far as I've seen), but the fact still remains that an extremely good player was comparison to a legend. Why wasn't that blown up on SportsCenter? Oh yeah, because everyone still likes Dirk. Simple as that.
(Side note: When I put it in that context, it really makes sense that all the people who now hate LeBron because he took less money to play on a better team would be mad at Scottie Pippen for something he didn't even say.)

Nas Names His New Album
STFU Award: Ric Bucher
I'm not gonna lie, if I was Dan or Stugotz, I would've hung up on Ric's bitch ass around the 9:50 mark when he said disrespected my show for the 2nd or 3rd time by saying he didn't ask to be on the show. Yeah, you might not have asked to be on the show, but you agreed to do it and you knew the type of questioning you'd face from Dan and Stu, so why start acting like a bitch about it? I don't hold any grudges against any national media members who hate the Heat (Bill Simmons, Charles Barkley, etc.), but I lost a lot of respect for Ric Bucher after his last 2 appearances on the LeBatard Show. And I know my respect doesn't mean shit to him at the end of the day, but fuck it, he sounded like a salty, bitter bitch who was dead wrong and refuses to admit it.
Derrick Rose played bad, end of story. Ric Bucher and everyone else can say whatever they want about the rest of the Bulls playing bad and them needing a shooting guard, but that doesn't remove the fact that Derrick Rose played bad. He missed 19 and 20 shots in Games 4 and 5 respectively, and closed the series shooting 35% from the field. But it's the rest of the Bulls's fault they lost? Give me a fucking break. LeBron did better than that last year when everyone said he quit against Boston, and he didn't get nearly the amount of support Rose got.
Oh, and I like how Bucher blames the Heat's defense like it was somehow an unfair advantage and they were supposed to let Rose drive to the hoop freely. Nigga please. Ric Bucher, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

2011 NBA Playoff Predictions: Western Conference Finals
On the other side of things, the one time the Thunder beat the Mavs this season, Dirk Nowitzki didn't play and Caron Butler had just been ruled out for the season....and the Thunder still only won by 4. I know regular season shit doesn't matter, but that's definitely not a good look.
Oklahoma's Key To Victory: Russell Westbrook has to be more Chris Paul and less Derrick Rose for the Thunder to succeed. It's no military secret that Kevin Durant is the Man in OKC, so to beat Dallas, Westbrook is going to have to do what he did Sunday against Memphis.
Dallas' Key To Victory: Make Russell Westbrook beat you. This is no knock against Westbrook, but if Durant isn't scoring, OKC isn't winning.
Oklahoma's X-Factor: Serge Ibaka. I'm assuming he'll be doing the lion share of guarding Dirk, so his ability on the defensive end may end up being the story for OKC.
Dallas' X-Factor: J.J. Barea. If he murder OKC's bench like he did L.A.'s, this series could be over quickly.
Prediction: Dallas wins in 6. Dallas is secretly one of the oldest teams in the league, so I think that week-plus of rest will be good for them, and they'll handle business. Plus, I can't take Oklahoma City seriously until they get some real uniforms. Their jerseys look like they're from a movie about pro basketball that couldn't secure licensing from the NBA to use the real team's jerseys.
Blacks On Blacks: Racists, Unfunny, Or Both?
What kinda racist bullshit is this? And only a week after Fox News tried their darnest to paint Common as a criminal? This makes me sad for my daughter.
After years of listening to Adam Carolla, I'm probably one of the least racially sensitive people out there, but this shit is begging me to pull the race card. Do I think the guy is a racist? No, not at all (I'm sure he has plenty of black friends). I just think he's unfunny (on this parody at least, I've never heard any of his others), and his lack of comedic talent put himself in a bad position. Here's the big question: WHY is he rounding up blacks?? That's never answered in this anti-funny piece of shit. Is he a descendant of a slave owner whose slaves ran away that is now looking for revenge (not a bad movie idea actually lol)? Is he a Neo-Nazi who just got out of prison? Is he holding "I need a token black friend" auditions? Is he a 90's R&B white guy who's really into black chicks? Is he trying to start up a 5-on-5 full court? I have no idea because buddy never gives any reasoning as to why he's rounding up packs of niggas like Mel Gibson thought would rape his ex-wife.
The bottom line is this: it's racist because it's pointless and not funny. Had there been either a point or something funny said, the song would've been fine. BUT since there wasn't, dude just comes off looking like a racist lame. Great parodies generally have a hook, or at least some sort of angle, this had none (outside of the fact that "blacks" rhymes with "racks," of course). Poking fun of race can be funny, but only if executed properly. This song is actually less funny than Michael Richards being heckled by a black man. Russ Parr, get ya man.

Yeah, he's the only mainstream nigga from down here, but he might wanna pump his brakes a tad because I remember when he first got signed and niggas didn't like him at all lol.
Pusha T - Blow Video
Thank goodness they brought the Arm & Hammer into the video because I was starting to load up on ashy hands jokes for Pusha in the 20 seconds leading up to it. Welp, since I had to scrap those, I guess I'll be forced to give an honest critique. I liked the video. The song is cool too, though I can never condone "hakuna matata" being said in a serious Rap song.

Random News Shit: Death & Hip-Hop Edition
Again, Cassidy? Really, again??
I can't even believe this, and I hope it's not true, but it's looking bad for the boy. I thought Cass turned his life over to the Lord? You telling me this was all a lie???? Nah son, NAH!
2) M-Bone Of Cali Swag District Killed
When I first heard about this, I thought for sure Hip-Hop was the culprit, but apparently that's not the case. TMZ is now reporting that a possible internet beef over some bitch may be the reason behind the drive-by shooting that killed him. (Side note: Really Cali niggas, y'all still doing drive-bys? That's so passé. And if it wasn't already pussy enough to shoot somebody while driving by them, you gonna shoot a nigga that's well known for dancing? Your gangsta is null and void.)
Whatever, I may not have liked his music, but I still hate to see another young black man slain.

Dan LeBatard Heat-Celtics Rant
And now with video!
Been meaning to post this for all the folks not in South Florida that can't hear Dan LeBatard's show on 790 The Ticket.
"You've got chowder, we've got beautiful women. You've got baked beans, we've got beautiful women. Your women are covered up because of the snow, our women are naked because of the cocaine."
Classic!

2011 NBA Playoff Predictions: Eastern Conference Finals
Much like the Celtics’ regular season record versus the Heat, the Bulls’ is pretty sketchy as well. Unlike the Celtics, all of the Bulls’ wins over the Heat came in 2011, which is awesome, but the final scores don’t properly tell the story. In their first meeting on January 15th, LeBron James logged a grand total of 0 minutes, as he sprained his ankle at the end of a game against the Clippers 3 days earlier. (Now to be fair, Joakim Noah also missed this game, but I think we can all agree LeBron is a just tad bit better than him.) After helping the Heat hold a 53-48 lead at halftime, Chris Bosh went on to sprain his ankle in the 3rd quarter and did not return. Dwyane Wade also banged his left knee and jammed both wrists, but managed to finish the game. The Bulls won 99-96.
In their second meeting on February 24th, everyone played, but Chris Bosh oddly went 1-18 from the field (that’s a whopping 6%) and scored just 7 points. Now, as we’ve all saw in the Celtics series, Bosh is more than capable of pulling a disappearing act (see games 1 and 3), but to take 18 shots and only hit 1? That’s all-time bad, and I wouldn’t bank on that ever happening again. The Bulls won 93-89.
The last meeting between these 2 on March 6th was probably the most legit barometer we can use. Yeah, it was in the midst of the Heat’s season long 5-game losing streak, but all the guys were there, and no one had a historically bad outing (a la Bosh’s 1-18). Despite the Heat being in control for majority of the game, the Bulls ultimately won 87-86 after LeBron missed a game winner.
The bottom line is this: in the Eastern Conference Finals, the regular season doesn’t mean shit. What does mean something is how these teams are playing today. The Heat is an impressive 8-2 so far in the playoffs, and is playing their best basketball of the season. After sleep walking through the first round, and parts the second, the Bulls proved Thursday night they’re back and ready to roll. This is gonna be good!
Miami’s Key To Victory: Making Derrick Rose a jump shooter. Rose has no doubt improved his jumper this season, but he’s still a dreadful 3-point shooter. Good thing for the Heat he hasn’t realized it yet. In 11 playoff games, Rose has shot 71 3’s (6 per game) and only made 18 of them (25%). If the Heat can keep him around the arc and out of the lane, this series could turn into a laugher.
Chicago’s Key To Victory: Playing great team defense. Unlike Chicago, you can’t stop Miami by shutting down one guy, so all 5 guys on the floor need to be on their defensive A-games. If the Bulls are keeping the Heatles out of the paint and closing out on their 3-point shooter, this series could be over fast.
Miami’s X-Factor: Mario Chalmers. Mike Bibby will most likely continue to start, but Chalmers will finish. If he can hit his open shots and prevent Dwyane Wade and LeBron James from being forced to waste energy and fouls trying to guard Derrick Rose, it will be huge for Miami. (Side note: I can’t lie, I’m also hoping for Rose to have a Chalmers mental block stemming from the '08 National Championship game.)
Chicago’s X-Factor: Keith Bogans. Obviously, the Heat’s defensive focus will mainly be on stopping Derrick Rose, so Bogans is probably gonna be wide open a lot. In the Hawks series, Bogans shot 49% from 3, if he’s not being guarded, I can’t see why that wouldn’t continue.
Prediction: Heat wins in 6. You want to know why? One name: John Hollinger. ESPN.com’s Insider is the only person I’ve seen correctly pick the Heat to win in 5 in both the first and second round. Now he’s taking them in 6 against the Bulls, so I’m gonna do the same and hope his luck has yet to run out. If the Heat can manage to win one of these first 2 games in Chicago, we should be looking good.

I'm so mad I missed this last night, but thank goodness for the internets.
Oh, if you don't get the whole bat thing, check this out.
Newt Gingrich Is Running For President
I guess this is the Republican's way of conceding defeat in 2012. They already knew they weren't gonna beat Barack, but now that Bin Laden is 20,000 leagues under the sea, he's all but assured a 2nd term. Don't expect any serious G.O.P. contenders to join the race.

Billy Sorrells & Deric Evans - Man Code Ep. 4
Another tough episode. I've never heard of a man zipping up another man's pants before, but if that's really going on, I think it should be grounds for swift execution. I'm talking "we finally found Osama" style. No jail time, no trial, just dead.
...Unless you're gay, of course, because then it's whatever. (Fuck y'all, I'm not trying to go out like Tim Hardaway.)
Twerk Team - Club Down Video
I'm not gonna lie, this song actually isn't half bad (mainly because of the beat though), but I just can't get with them rapping. I'm sorry, I wish I could (okay, no I don't), but I can't get over a rap group being their own buck nasty back up dancers. It's the same reason I can't take Gloria Velez or the African chick with the fake ass and neck tat that raps now (yes, I'm aware 5 seconds of light Googling could help me figure out her name but fuck it) seriously.
And fuck schools, Hip-Hop is the most overcrowded shit in America (besides the amount of negative numbers in our debt). We really, really need to thin the herd. I gotta come up with something. Give me time.
YC & Barack Obama - Osama Bin Laden Dead
Okay, I promise this is the last "Osama is dead blah blah blah" video I'm gonna post. I SWEAR!
Anyway, that depiction of YC wasn't all that far off. I don't think I ever wrote it on the site, but that guy looks like a cracked out version of Drake. Just a weird looking little muthafucka. And I know it's easy to say this because his music sucks, but hell, even if it was good, he'd still be weird looking.
And with that being said, this is the end of today's super gay critique of another man's appearance. Forgive me.
