STFU Award: Ric Bucher

Before Game 5 of the Heat-Bulls series, your man Ric Bucher was on with Dan LeBatard and Stugotz and said he'd take Derrick Rose over LeBron James if given the choice. What would he have to say after Game 5? Check it out:

Ric Bucher on the Dan LeBatard Show

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!

Ric Bucher, You've Just Been Kobe'd!

As we prepare for game 5 of the Finals later today, here was the scene after L.A.'s win in game 3.


Now I doubt there was actually snot on Mr. Bryant's hand, unless it was drooling out of his nose like spit out of Big Baby's mouth, but it's still pretty nasty regardless. I don't like people touching my hair with clean hands, let alone hands that have just possibly grazed boogers.

The best part is Buch's initial reaction because he realizes its Kobe. Pause it 26 seconds in and look at the look on his face! He looks like he wants to knock the offender's block off...until he realizes its a 6'6" black guy, then he just cracks a smile. Classic.

(Side note: How creepy is that look of pleasure on Kobe's face as he continues to play in Buch's hair?? I'm not saying the man is gay (though it is fact he enjoys the anal lovin' a tad more than most), but that face is a bit eerie.)

Random News Shit: NBA Free Agency Edition Pt. III

1) Hedo To The Blazers Raptors
The busy 2009 offseason continues with Hedo Turkoglu jetting on the Magic for the Blazers and then jetting on the Blazers for the Raptors all in the same day. Remarkable! On that video above Ric Bucher says it wasn't about the money, but its HAAAARD to believe a player would give up a chance to play with a conference championship team AND a playoff contender to play for a 33 win team with a disgrutled superstar who is going to leave after next season just because the city is nicer. It was about the money, and that's fine.

Anyway, the deal with Toronto is 5-years, $53 million. Maybe Drake is just making is cool to be in or around Toronto lol.

2) Phil Jackson Will Return To The Bench Next Season
Phil couldn't turn down the opportunity to coach this team that's gonna take the floor for the Lakers next season. I ain't mad at him.

3) Iverson Interested In The Grizzlies??
Like Bucher said, who says they're interested in playing for the Grizzlies?? It CAN'T be this bad for Iverson out there. It just can't be!

4) Avery Johnson May Be Piston's Top Pick
Awww, does this mean we won't be able to hear his voice on ESPN breaking game anymore?? Well that sucks balls, because hearing Avery speak is the best part about some of those Friday night games lol. I'm glad to see Avery get another coaching look though, but I'm not sure if this is the best situation to go into. Maybe its just me, but I know I wouldn't wanna coach this team.

5) Marbury Doesn't Foresee Return To Boston
I don't think the C's really want him back either though. Hell, they might need him if they keep pissing off Rondo and acting like he's on the block.
