SO underrated.

In unrelated news, the San Antonio Spurs are on the verge of completing their 2nd consecutive Playoff sweep and haven't lost in like 2 months. That's not a joke; it's actually happening right now. Someone should consider tipping ESPN off about it before long.

He gave up on The Bonfire Of The Vanities pretty quickly, deeming it "too hot."

16 straight for the Spurs. Six teen. 6 of them playoff games. I don't know if I've ever seen a team with ball movement as crisp, quick and accurate as they've had going lately. Just beautiful.

Tim Fucking Duncan.

Thanks, I'm giving this one a spin first. Looks more my vibe than a lot of the others, although I'm intrigued by Portal 2 as well. Thanks to all of you for the recommendations. For now it's Spurs time though.

OK so having fairly recently moved from the constant activity of Brooklyn to Southern US suburbia, My reading has already pretty much tripled, and now I'm wanting to play really nerdy, time-consuming computer games. Since the last video game of any kind I played was probably Mario Kart for Nintendo 64, I kinda don't…

Joke's on you guys though. The one savvy move Jordan made since taking ownership of the team was trademarking the phrase "...goes poorly." Opponent scouting reports alone netted him a whole Pacific island last year.

It got awkward when he tried referring to himself more accurately as cincuenta y ocho, since everyone just assumed Jamie Moyer was back again.

In a totally related story, many players on both teams are complaining about painful puncture wounds to their hind quarters.

Do people still say that? Jesus, just don't watch basketball then. I'm a longtime Spurs fan, and I just started blocking that out because it's such an ignorant concept. I kinda just assumed the new Parker-centric team might have drowned some of that out.

Stop the presses, someone at ESPN actually wrote a really good and shockingly in-depth article about the X's and O's of the Spurs' offense today. Of course it's the True Hoop crew (you know, the silly little blog at the bottom of the NBA page, not a mainstream important writer or anything), but as much time as all of…

Got a phone call from an old friend and totally bailed on my own thread. Looks like I missed a good game too. Oh well. The world keeps turnin' round...

Since the last post on the official open thread was like 5 hours ago, feel free to use this if you happen to be watching hoops with me this evening.

Holy shit, did you guys just see whoever that summer-vacation-lifeguard-looking blonde Celtic is lose the ball behind his own back on a (presumed) dunk attempt? Spectacular! Your move, Javale.

Michael Kay is ecstatic. He believes that when it comes to the Yankees, Derek Jeter is the GOAT.

Other than Arrested Development, I can't really think of many other shows that were forcibly cancelled when they were still awesome and the cast wasn't all retiring or something. I don't know how you move 30 Rock, (although writing the move into the plot could be awesome), but you'd have to think a bunch of other…

Can TV shows just start up again on a new station? Cause I'd think a lot of relative upstarts in the original show market would throw the bank at these shows. Could, say, FX just sign Community straight up like a free agent immediately after the season (assuming the cast and staff was on board)?

Psshhh, whatever. I've heard Jon Gruden trump this in a single quarter.

So that makes the two-word phrase "momentary lapse" technically redundant I suppose. I definitely never expected to say that anything two things associated with the Miami Heat might be redundant.
