Update: Fkme gently with a chainsaw. We really can’t win on the road anymore apparently. Just as disturbing is the fact that I’ve tried voodoo dolls and hypnotism and nothing slows Lebron James down. Nothing. Blah.

Dear my beloved Celtics,

• Please win tonight so people can shut up about you not winning road games.
• Please win so I can proudly sport my spiffy Boston Celtics adidas jacket around town tomorrow with pride.
• Please win so you can get some rest before you have to play the Deeetroit Pistons — they’re good in case you didn’t know.
• Please don’t turn the ball over like the Orlando Magic.
• Please don’t dribble the clock out and then chuck a jumper — I’m looking at you Sam.
• Please remember that Lebron’s mom is ready to fk you up. Stay alert.

Dear Cleveland Cavs,

• Delonte, please remember that not that long ago, you were wasting away in Seattle. You got to the playoffs as a starting point guard for a Lebron James team. That should be good enough for now. Don’t be greedy. ( I still love you though, *air kiss*)
• Lebron, don’t you have some commercials to shoot? A vacation to take? Stare into this spinning wheel… you are getting very very sleeeeepy.
• Wally, you really do look like a cross between Derek Zoolander and a member of the Backstreet Boys.
• Z and Andy, please trade hairstyles just for my amusement.
• Boobie, get well soon. Well, not too soon.

That’s all I got.

GO CELTICS!

Love,
me

The Ball Don’t Lie boys are Liveblogging the FkingSpurs/Hornets game. Those Liveblogs are always a party, so I’m sure I’ll make my usual cameo. Not sure if they’re serious or kidding, but they’ve advised that a “comment intern” will be perusing the inane crap people like me send their way. Hmmmm, so how does one become a “comment intern”? Are there classes in college that teach that because it sounds like a pretty slick job to me.

In other news, I love my mother. She left me a voicemail on my work phone instead of my cell, so I emailed her and reminded her that I prefer to receive my personal calls on my cell phone. She writes back, “I’m sorry I forgot to call the right number. You can just tell me to SIT MY ASS DOWN next time you see me. Love, Mother” Haha, is she perfect or what?

I haven’t forgotten the Red Sox but I probably won’t start blogging about them in earnest until the NBA playoffs are over. However, I have to say that I love LOVE love the fact that Manny stopped right in the middle of a play to high five a fan. Only at Fenway… That’s fking brilliant. BRILLIANT. Like Progressive, I say it louder.

Last night… Pistons v. Magic - The Pistons finished off the Magic just like I knew that they would. Frankly, I’m surprised it wasn’t a sweep. Being a J.J. Redick fan, I’ve suffered through 2 long years of craptastic Magic basketball and I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty bitter about it. Not only is watching them constantly turn the ball over and miss free throws torture, but then they don’t even play J.J. so I don’t even have that as a consolation prize. If you say I should be happy watching Keith Bogans chuck up 3’s over J.J. I’m just going to punch you in the neck. Defense my ass, try shooting better than 1-8 and then talk to me. Anyway, good riddance. If the Celtics manage to survive Lebron, I would much rather take my chances playing a great team like the Pistons. There’s no shame in losing to the Pistons, but if we had made it to the finals against the Magic and lost… well there would be no getting over that. Ever.

Hornets v. Fking Spurs - Hell to the yeah Hornets. Keep it up.

Tonight… My beloved Celtics v. Lebron James - I have a bad feeling about this. The Celtics are playing like shit. I’m hoping they can do what the Red Sox did last season versus the Cleveland Indians. Think Josh Beckett can suit up for the C’s in time?

Oh and whoever stole my superior Celtics team and replaced it with this new inferior one, could you kindly return them to me? Danke shane. Those refunds for the ineffective Lebron James Voodoo Dolls are in the mail…

BDL posted the funniest and most creative mother’s day card ever…

The fking Spurs are still alive and well in the playoffs. They do this to torment me. *shaking fist at the sky*

My beloved Celtics are playing the Lebrons away again tonight. Unlike Jameer, I will not guarantee a victory for my team. Instead… I’m introducing a new product that I believe will be useful for years to come:

I hate to put the ole hex-a-rino on Lebron because I do like him, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

In other news, ESPN has been talking about Kim Kardashian’s my boyfriend all day because there’s another USC athletics scandal. That’s been fun. I understand why its a story and all, but raise your hand if you’re really shocked and awed by the idea that O.J. Mayo might’ve started accepting “cash and gifts” early… I’m not going to make excuses because quite honestly, I don’t really care. If someone backs a truck up to my house and offers me a flat screen and a suitcase of money, I’m not saying, “No thanks” but maybe that’s just me.

Crap! Just remembered the Celtics, Gossip Girl and The Hills are all on tonight. Why can’t I clone myself? Obviously the Celtics game 4 playoff game is the most important… but, its also extremely important to find out who Serena killed. *sigh* It’s like Sophie’s Choice!

Utah 123, Lakers 115 - Utah ties the series 2-2 in an overtime win. The best part of the game for me was when Kyle Korver drained two free throws towards the end of OT and Hubie deemed him to have “icewater in his veins.” He is pretty automatic, isn’t he? I’m convinced if the Magic had passed on J.J. two years ago, he’d be playing Kyle Korver’s minutes in Utah right now. I would imagine those “Mrs. Redick” tee shirts would be just as popular and just as pink. Apparently Korver is not quite on board with the tee shirts and at least one teammate has weighed in:

“That’s messed up.” –Deron Williams

The Lakers should win every game they play against the Jazz. They look that much better. Somehow though, the Jazz keep managing to win these home game squeekers.

I’m starting to think this series could go 7. I hope it does. I really want to create a “mrs. korver drinking game”…

1. Peep a pink “Mrs. Korver” tank in the crowd - chug a beer
2. Spot more than one “I Heart Kyle” baseball shirt - do two shots
3. Every Kyle 3-pointer drained - chug a beer and do two shots (if he’s on that night, you are guaranteed to get completely fked up by the end of the game… like “crouched over the throne w/your roommate holding your hair back for you” trashed. Good times, good times.)
4. Whenever Kyle ducks out of the way on defense - bow head in shame
5. Triple bonus if in the grand ole tradition of “Grady’s Ladies”, the Mrs. Korvers unify and name themselves something really precious like “Korver’s Cuties” - drink the whole keg & a wine box
6. Ok, I’m done.

Keeping up with the Kardashians - Lots of Reggie on tonight’s episode. Aww, and it’s not even my birthday. Thanks E!

The Pistons just went on a 15-0 run to tie it up with the Magic. Hell to the yeah!

[Update: Pistons win by ONE POINT. Wow! I actually feel bad for Hedo Turkoglu though because I really think highly of him. But, since I wanted the Pistons to win this one... YAY!]

So Mike D’Antoni to the Knicks, huh? He must be a glutton for punishment or something. Oh well, who knows… maybe he is a miracle worker.

My Celtics went to Cleveland and bit the dust. I think that was predictable, so I’m not too concerned about it. Thank goodness we have home court advantage throughout the playoffs because I have a feeling we’re going to need it.

I might’ve named my new 160GB ipod “Reggie5Bush”… Don’t judge!

If I ever refer to another inane blogger as a “peer” or “colleague” you have my permission to kick me square in the ass. I am well aware that some bloggers are successful and actually get paid to share their opinions with the internet world — some of them even get book deals, go on media tours or write for major publications – and that’s fking fabulous for them, but there are just way too many bloggers nowadays with “fans” who think they’re above any old dipstick with a Blogger or Wordpress account. That may or may not be true depending on who is involved, but let me say this… There’s nothing more insufferable than an elitist blogger.

I’m still addicted to The Basketball Jones podcasts like a junkie on crack, but jesus h. christ today’s episode was disturbing…….. dude.

I defy you to listen to this and not shake your head

Canadians are officially a little nuts. I like it.

Sweet baby jesus, how many “dear friends” does this guy (Kritik designer, Jonathan Cheban) have? Also, I’m sure Juicy just loves this PR… lol (oh yeah, kill the music on the left hand sidebar if you want to actually hear the video sound *wink*)
