bibby hating is love
Ok, so this is a day late, whatev. I was going to blog about the Mavs/Horns and Spurs/Suns games last night and somehow ended up over at the Yahoo! Ball Don’t Lie Liveblog instead. That was a trip. First off, I have always loved Kelly Dwyer’s writing. Knowledgeable with just the right amount of jaded snarkitude. (If there’s such a thing as a blogger groupie, I might be a KD groupie. Not too proud to admit it. Lol. I also love Matt Watson’s stuff from DBB and HOOPSWORLD.) So when J.E. Skeets from The Basketball Jones took on the Editor role over there I was skeptical to say the least. Nothing against Skeets, but I didn’t know jack about him. Eventually I broke down and listened to some Basketball Jones podcasts and now I’m sickeningly hooked. It’s like crack. I don’t know why its so good, it just is. The idea of two Canadian dudes sitting around yacking about hoops doesn’t exactly scream “party time” but it actually is extremely entertaining. But, I digress… so I find out during my daily BDL perusal that the guys are Liveblogging it so I decide to check it out once again (I went to the last one as well). Last night it was Skeets, KD and guest chatter, Matt Moore from Hardwood Paroxysm… also making cameos were Jamie Mottram (Mr. Irrelevant, Yahoo!) and Unsilent Majority (KSK). It was entertaining, but I have some advice for future Liveblogs. They need to send a memo to random un-famous bloggers/readers that their comments will not be posted 9 times out of 10. It really felt like the entire night was those guys chatting to each other (which I’m sure is the whole point) with the masses bitching that their posts weren’t showing up. To be fair to the BDL guys, the comments from “the outside” were pretty inane or painfully obvious. Samples…
- “The Spurs are going to win!”
- “The Suns don’t defend!”
- “Shaq has a fat ass!” (Ok fine, I made that one up.)
Anyway, I didn’t intend this to be a review. Just sharing my evening. On to tonight…
Bibby is going down! How dare he call out Boston Celtic fans for being bandwagon fans??? That little bitch! Ok fine, he’s right a little bit. Last year I could’ve gotten tickets to the Celtics games an hour before the game if I wanted to. Now you practically have to be related to Doc Rivers to score a seat. WTF is up with that? You’re going to tell me you didn’t want to fork over the big bucks last season to see Sebastian Telfair dribble the ball down the court and chuck it up with 3 seconds on the clock? Screw you man. You’re not a real fan!
