Live Blogging: 2010 NBA Draft

9:46 pm - Trevor Booker for two second round small forwards? T-Wolves: Sign me up

9:42 pm - YES! Another forward for Minnesota!

9:40 pm - Was that Charles Smith sitting next to Kevin Durant and talking in his ear? Can someone please get him escorted out of the building ASAP?!?!?!

9:20 pm - It took a little time, but it looks like Minnesota got their small forward.

9:11 pm - YES! Bulls draft another 6'9" forward! Jay: He weighs too much for us. Send him to Washington.

8:50 pm - Please remind me tomorrow to find the YouTube clip of Ed Davis' agent hugging him ever so sweetly.

8:48 pm - These hats are awful. I have nothing funny or more clever than that.

8:39 pm - Have we found the second coming of Eric Montross in Cole Aldrich?!?!?!?!

8:34 pm - "What I got" We're up to 2. This is admittedly better than 15 minutes of encouraging the crowd to contribute to Margaritaville.

8:32 pm - This guy is like a hip-hop show where he randomly stops playing a song. Jay: I wish he'd stop permanently.

8:28 pm - If Hayward were to slick his hair back, he'd look like a coked out Chris Klein.


8:24 pm - Turner?
8:22 pm - Aminu?
8:21 pm - It's the kid from Good Burger!

8:17 Look-a-likes! Flip Saunders and Mark Coleman.

8:14 pm - Greg Monroe's mom took some time off from touring with Sly and the Family Stone to join us today...

8:12 pm - Success. I threw a Cousins-like fit and got it back.

8:09 pm - This place is horrible.... They've given the college world series preference over the draft. Also something called Whacked Out Sports.

8:05 pm - Oh no, he's playing originals now....

8::04 pm - Whoa, how many d-bag Maloof brothers are there?!?!?!

7:54 pm - SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS: Minnesota has decided to draft only small forwards, NOT - I repeat- NOT point guards.

7:50 pm - Jay: What's the over/under on hearing the term "length" spoken by "draft experts?" 1 billion.

7:49 pm - Cousins is throwing tables backstage right now after NJ picked Favors.

7:45 pm - Over/under on how long it'll take Philly fans to boo Turner? Jay: N/A. No one is going to those games!

7:44 pm - "Crash into me". We're at 1.

7:39 pm - Since Washington is trying to clear as much cap space as possible to sign a max player, how great would it be to see a line-up that includes Wall, Gilbert and Joe Johnson?

7:34 pm - A d-bag has apparently set up to play shitty acoustic guitar music tonight. I'm missing last year's location. What's the over/under on Third Eye Blind, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews, Sublime, U2, Oasis songs tonight? 11.5.

7:33 pm - I keep mistaking the draft logo for a new video game.

7:32 pm - Jay: So if the Bulls trade Heinrich and Deng, how many power forwards can they max out at?

7:26 pm - It'd be pretty hard to call me racist if you knew my own race, but at first glance I thought that ESPN had brought in Cal Penn as their capologist.


7:18 pm - The NBA Draft is my guiltiest pleasure in sports. I rail against the massive amount of hype that the NFL Draft gets (quick, give me your top 10 right tackles...snooze) so yes, I guess I'm sort of a hypocrite. I can't get enough. This year I'm at TD Homer's in Southington, CT accompanied for a second straight year by Jay. It's Jay. Not Jason. Just Jay. Hopefully the storms don't knock out the cable entirely or the beer kills my laptop.

It's Ron Artest Appreciation Week

Following two amazing postgame interviews, we review an oldie but a goodie: Artest on Jimmy Kimmel. He really is America's new loveable freakshow.

Ronaldo Will Show This Highlight As He Bangs Your Wife

Ronaldo had this goal today, and I immediately surrendered the loins of my wife and every other woman that I hold dear to me. I just can't compete.



If you need me, I'll be practicing soccer out back and throwing gallons of fake tanner on my body.

Artest Is Da Best Part II

Artest Is Da Best

The shout out to the psychiatrist is the best. Can't think of a better way to go into the weekend.

Wait, here's a better way: Noted jackass Glen Davis was wrong on his game 7 prediction and he goes home a loser. THAT'S the best way to go into the weekend. Have a good two days off!

New NBA Logos Aplenty!

While most of you are watching the NBA's final game of the championship series, I'm watching the REAL important thing in the NBA: TEAMS ARE GOING CRAZY AND CHANGING ALL OF THEIR LOGOS!

Witness, with your damn eyes, the new logo:

Oh...wait...that's their old logo from the 90s with the purple substituted for blue. Well, at least it's better than that mountain logo thing they had!

Hold on, hold on a sec...I'm confused. The note logo is their SECONDARY logo, and they KEPT the mountain thing and made THAT blue as well? There's now ORANGE in there TOO?

Well, let's see what the Warrior's new logo looks like:

Um...so their old logo is their new logo too?! Color me confused. I can't believe that they didn't even put some clouds in the sky of that blue circle. While I do think the Warriors "new" logo is an upgrade (the old logo was far too..."San Francisco" if you know what I mean), it's a shame that graphic designers aren't actually coming up with anything new these days.

My only hope is the Nets owner succeeds in making a Russian hooker their new logo for when they move to Brooklyn. Pleeeeeeease let that happen.

Live Blogging Game 7

12:08 PM - Wow, you wonder why people hate Lakers fans? They just booed Bill Russell.

11:58 PM - Ron Ron thanking his psychiatrist was the best part of the entire game!

11:56 PM - So dramatic. Love game 7's. Can't help but notice how excited Kobe is and how unenthusiastic his wife is.

11:46 PM - Then Ray Ray...

11:45 PM - No idea how Boston is still close. Then Ron Ron hits a three on cue.

11:27 PM - A Gladys Knight reference. Way to skew Jurassic, Mark Jackson!

10:51 PM - There ought to be a permanent window in the corner fixated on Andy Garcia's mustache.

10:40 PM - If you're a Boston fan, don't you want everyone to say nothing about how badly Kobe's shooting right now? SHHHHHHHHHHH. Just let it happen...

10:11 PM - How dope would it be if one of the players stopped and admired himself on the big screens in the tunnels on the way back to the locker rooms?!

10:08 PM - Veal!

10:04 PM - Damn, this game has been so tight that I haven't moved a muscle in the longest time. Now Ron Ron and Pierce are going at it again.

9:54 PM - Is there a way to get the un-censored broadcast where there isn't 10 seconds of dead air whenever there's a collision? I would pay for it at this point.

9:27 PM - Anyone have any f'n idea who the hell the guy at the 8:20 mark is in this video? He's at every press conference dressed like that.


He's also here at the 2:39 mark too.


9:13 PM - I think this is what Doc Rivers' pre-game speech to Sheed probably sounded like: "This is what all the ice cream was for. All the jogging, sloppy defense, crappy outside shooting comes down to this. Will you step up or go bat shit crazy? Remember this, if you get a technical foul, it's not like there's a game 8 to be suspended for."

9:02 PM - The Red Hot Chili Peppers should always be playing in the background whenever Jeff Van Gundy speaks.

9:00 PM - The Lakers intro music only reminds me of the weakest and most cliched rock performance ever:


8:56 PM - The most appropriate injury report I've read this week: "Rajon Rondo had to get stitches in the locker room after suffering a Ron Artest."

8:55 PM - This vampire can SING!

8:51 PM - Blah blah blah, the world's worst pre/post game crew is finally over. I expected Magic to say, "This is going back to Boston" at prediction time.

8:34 PM - I'm back! Where have I been?! Who cares because it's Game 7! It's one of those rare days when you're allowed go scream at the TV like they can hear you.
