Lakers lose four in a row....Oh no they will NEVER win the chip now...Just doing 'em like the Heat are done

I am not serious about that headline...It is a four game losing streak. I think they will be aight. Lets get into why if someone was SERIOUS about they would be legit in doing so using the logic folks are using because of the 'standard' that the Heat set when they came together. Because by the 'logic' used with that line of thinking....

''But..but...the Heat said they would win 6-7 championships so we hold them to a different standard...."- I have heard this from SEVERAL FOLKS.



(Chuckles) That's real cute. Did they hand out a pamphlet that told you all to say that in unison? I have heard that almost to a man (woman) but you are leaving out ONE LITTLE SMALL DETAIL.

(Whispers) They don't give out chips for the 'best record' nor do you win a chip with 'a regular season game'. So that logic is SUPER FLAWED. If that were the case, Lebron would have one already 'cause he has played on a team that led the league in REGULAR season wins with 66. I know I don't have to remind you of what happened with that team. Lets just say they didn't win the chip......

The contradiction by Phil....

"Its too early in the season...it is a long season...we have a long way to go..."- The Zen Master after the loss to Houston .


Ooh yeah girl (Phil) run that game..-Em

 Not what you were singing when you got asked about the Heat. Although you did give them a lil bit of a timeline.

I think that people like my friend Curt (and I along with PLENTY OF OTHERS on Twitter/Facebook) asked the questions about the Lakers not because the SPORTSCENTERS and the NBATV were negligent to the fact they loss four in a row. Oh no. They saw it and reported it.  It is SOME OF the fans who are conveniently ignoring it. Acting nonchalant about it while at the SAME TIME criticizing the Heat for....well....you read it...these same fans that flood your Facebook timeline with the:

'The Heat will never win anything 'cause they lost two straight.... three straight..."

"Look, they don't play as a team sometimes..."

"Can't turn it on and off when you want to..."

"Such and such dominates the ball and you see what happens...Coulda stayed in to see that..It is a team sport.."

"They lost to (insert sorry team here) Indy...wow...See told you they suck."

"Even though they won, they didn't blow them out so they still must SUCK.."

"Oh they lost to MEMPHIS? How do you let Memphis beat you? Super team lost again...."

All things that the CHAMPS have done. It would be different if most of you did what quite frankly I do when it comes to the Steelers (Still talk win or lose..hell I am more critical of them than YOU ARE. You just harp on bullshit...Like quarterbacks getting hit in wins...). But you don't. You disappear. Even if I don't WATCH THE LAKERS GAME, I know when ya'll lost. How? CAUSE I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU. Your feed goes silent. lol So that is why the questions are being asked this morning (or hell when you lost two in a row).

(This next paragraph you could EASILY substitute the word Lakers for Celtics and it would apply too but we are talking about Lakers fans today so....Feel free to do so though..@ sub)

Not because it is a 'big deal' because in reality, a four game losing streak won't stop the Lakers from making the tourney. Not because the news isn't covering it either. It is because the majority of you aren't being consistent in your criticisms. That is why. It is just that simple. I give them ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD when they are clicking. I don't hate the Lakers at all. But if they are stinking up the joint, losing to inferior competition and the like, injuries or NOT, I am gonna say something 'cause well....that is the criticisms the Lakers fans give to everyone else. Laker fans don't want to hear that Mike Miller shit. Udonis Haslem shit. So I consequently, don't wanna hear about Bynum or any other Laker injury 'cause the injury thing isn't a good excuse for anyone else. Lakers fans don't care if OJ Mayo didn't even START THE GAME against them. So I don't wanna hear about 80% Kobe. He is out there. OJ got out there eventually. Who won the game? I think there lies the issues. I can't do that? @ look at things like that. Why the fuck can't I? Lakers fans are doing it......Besides, I am doing it in jest.

The Heat are gonna make THE TOURNEY too. It is early. FOR EVERYONE. Hell, Boston lost to CLEVELAND (Who Miami might lose to TONIGHT FOR ALL WE KNOW..). Miami BLEW OUT ORLANDO. They have all take early tumbles. And lets not act like for one all the teams that are 'really supposed to be getting the attention instead of the star studded Heat' haven't slipped up. That's why you don't hear most of the coaches saying a damm thing about the Heat. They can't. They have their own troubles to worry about. This is when I wish Pat Riley would speak up for Spo....'Cause I damm sure would be playing reverse Zen Master with Phil right now with them losing 4 in a row. On some 'Jerry might not let Jeanie see Phil anymore if he doesn't get it together over there....You know..for shits and giggles. Nothing serious. Just a lil light jab back at him. Spo won't do it so that is why I say Riles should.

See I knew that Jeff Van Gundy's wild ass statement would take a life of its own. @ shattering the Bull's record. IT WAS HE WHO SAID THAT and everyone has 'decided' that the Heat players did by lumping that statement in with the 6-7 chips. Or them even saying that it was the goal. Like Kobe is sitting around and saying.."Yeah, I am just gonna play to play this season and see what happens....." FOH. That nigga wants to win and has said as much. Just like ANYONE ELSE IN THE LEAGUE. It is super funny to see SEVERAL OF THE COCKIEST PEOPLE I KNOW act appalled and shocked when someone else shows confidence in themselves. lol Too funny. Fuck was Lebron and them supposed to say? "Oh we just want to go to the beach together more during the season so we decided to play together for six years or so to see what it would be like.."?


Oh and lets not forget the BEST BIG MAN IN THE WORLD TODAY is playing with Bean and a dude who would not only START but STAR on anyone else's team in Lamar Odom plays there too. With the bully. @ Artest. Lets not put this all on Bean or act like Bean is alone. Neither is the case. Lets also keep that in mind when they win too please..'cause you guys like to forget then too. @ it is all Kobe all the time...


I would hope not. So yeah Lakers fans, you gotta hear some 'questions' from some people. It is only right 'cause you pose the same questions about everyone else in the L when you are clicking and they aren't....

You mad?? Don't be. It will probably pass...if you win the chip. But according to your logic, if you don't win EVERY GAME, you can't do that. Funny, I have never heard of a team going undefeated in a season. I'd stop dissecting each Heat game and start dissecting your own team's games..Or at least dissect them with the same aplomb you do every shoulder bump and heated discussion 'cause you look like a hypocrite. Last I checked, your team was going for a three peat and HASN'T BEEN SHY ABOUT SAYING SO. Quit acting like the 'victim'...lol Shits played. @ that 'no one talked about us at the beginning of the season.

No words needed...Ron Artest's post game interview/freestyle on Power 106 FM...

Well maybe a few....

Ron is that dude. Period. He just did something that is TABOO in our society. In particular to people of 'color'. He admitted he sees a shrink AND THAT IT HELPED. Which is why there was humor found in the statement for some. Some of you sitting there last night SAID "Oh shit, I might need to do that..." after years of denying it was a viable option. So hats off to Ron Ron. He might have saved a life last night by inspiring others to go see a shrink. I am dead ass too.

Not mad him getting a ring either....

Melanie Fiona info found! Finally...Game 5 and the Poll.

Awhile ago, I posted about wanting more information on this young lady. I like her style and her voice. I present more tidbits from the young woman. Hoping to catch her in concert soon.


















Game 5. They won. You saw it. I won't talk too much about it. They are not my team so I will not go into some long spiel. I still don't have a team actually at this point. Waiting on Allen Iverson to see where he will go. Wherever that is, that will be who I root for. Or at least who you will hear about from me. Congrats to Kobe though. Sorry your coach outcoached himself Skip and Dwight. I enjoyed talking about it while it was going on because I love basketball period. No matter who is playing.

I will ask this. Who do you keep? Trevor Ariza? Lamar Odom?

If you are Kobe, do you take the kids back to the 'lil Disney' or do you go down Celebration Drive and take 'em to see the BIG DISNEY? Decisions, decisions, decisions....


I put up a poll. If you guys respond to it, I may make the post that I want to make that goes with it. I am just curious though to see who is doing what and why.

Game 4, D.O.A Death of AutoTune and Michael Vick

Free throw shooting. I imagine that Orlando will spending PLENTY of time, win or lose this series, shooting free throws when they go to their respective homes this summer. I mean, one can usually go back to a miss here, a make there but the way they shot them in that last game was criminal. The kicker is, with the exception of Howard, the cats missing them are good 'shooters'. They have no real excuse.



Kobe said the right things in the press conference before the game about not being tired but anyone can look at that man and see that he is. He is DRAINED. Getting the ball ripped at the top of the key or at least touched every 3 possession. Not being able to 'blow by' either Lee or Pietrus and thus having to resort to some other crafty moves to get shots off. Not that having the ability to do the latter is a BAD THING. They are great things. Just saying the young man looks tired. He is giving it his all though and I know he is hurting.





Stan my man? Did you get amnesia? You FORGOT TO PUT YOUR BEST PG BACK IN THE GAME again. I know...I know...He wouldn't have been able to warm up properly. Yada..yada...yada..Look man, he should have been IN THAT GAME. What part of that don't you get? I guarantee you Fish wouldn't have had a 'clean look' at the bucket had he been in. I'll tell you that. Looks like you have not learned. Skip is your best pg right now. Period.


Looks like my favorite rapper has 'the Internet going nuts' with his Death of Auto Tune record. In case I have not made it clear, JAY-Z is my favorite rapper. (Maybe one day, I will work on my own personal list of rappers..Who knows?) Many were hoping and PRAYING he was talking about the "Rapper Ternt Sanger" (T-PAIN), but if you have half way good hearing you could see that the song wasn't directed at him at all. Some of ya'll wish malice on that man so bad it is a wonder you don't have lock jaw from sipping on the 'ade. Yet ya'll wanna 'Jump Out The Window' and all that mess. Okay...The song is dope. I am not surprised. If you have not heard it you can look at my music player. It should be there for a while at least. Changing the game once again! Like he always does. What do you people who don't like him have to say now? Especially since he is telling the truth about it. Still one of the nicest MCs out and the nicest to me. (I don't expect you to agree either. As I always say, I am not here to change your mind.)

'Bout time. You have told the League he isn't worth a damm and distanced yourself as far away from him as you could. You should have been cut Vick. Lets see if that man gets a second chance at this thing called football. I hope he does well. I also hoped he learned some valuable lessons along the way.

Game 1 Finals, The Roots Picnic,etc, etc...

Well, that was easy. I don't expect the games to be blow outs like that Game 1 was. I do believe a couple of things will happen. Stan Van Gundy will probably see that pulling Rafer out is a mistake so early. I know that Jameer is back (and looked good actually) but the threat that Alston was posing by straight showing Fisher's age on some drives was too good to pass up in my opinion. I mean, he was going RIGHT BY FISH at times. He keeps doing that, then there will be even more open shots. I don't expect the Magic to stay cold either so that should make some type of difference. The Lakers players cannot get complacent and watch Kobe do Kobe either. That was a hellafied game by the young man but they can't count on that every game. They have to all improve on what was a pretty good performance. Look for Dee White (Dwight) Howard to get more touches in game 2, for better spacing and better effort from the Magic in the second game. Not sure if that will equate to a win but it should make for a better game. They got embarrassed that first game. For sure.

Saturday is the 2nd Annual Roots Picnic. I will be in attendance. It sounds like the weather will break JUST IN TIME for us to have a good time. Hopefully, I can get some good pictures. For more info go here..

I may even 'Twitpic' a photo of what I might have on that day and if you see me out and about, YOU WILL KNOW it is me and you can speak. Unfortunately, my 'smartphone' isn't that SMART so I can't do it from my phone. But I may do it from the house before I leave. We will see.

Before I go take these with you. I try my best to live by them.

"Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part..."

These are things that have helped me through many a tough time. Hopefully, they can be of some use to you.

Okay Jamie!! I ain't mad at you...Lebron, Lakers/Magic

Lebron James. The boy is a gifted basketball player. He can go many things on the court. Pass. Dunk. Shoot. The only thing he is missing is a post game and SOME DAMM TEAMMATES (outside of Delonte and Mo). He ran into to Superman and he happened to bring some Superfriends with him. Hedo and Rashard. No shame in losing to them. I hear people blaming LB for the Cavs failures. No. I don't think so. If you are saying that you are letting your dislike for him cloud your judgment. Sorry. If Kobe, Wade, or Anthony (Hell even Howard) is your favorite player, so be it. But don't let that cloud your judgment of LB's game and body of work. Maybe the boy ain't MJ but quite honestly, neither are ANY OF THE PLAYERS I just mentioned. So stop the backlash. He lost. If you wanted him to go home, he is home. Happy now? lol

P.S. I am not sure why ya'll care if the 'League' is mad or not. They have the Defensive Player of the Year and the guy who is STILL the face of the L even though he didn't win MVP of the League. The guy who people say can't win a ring without Shaq. There is STILL A STORY line in this Finals. Trust me. You will be 'complaining' about it too!! Watch.

Let me preface my prediction by saying I am VERY HAPPY FOR RAFER ALSTON. Starting guard for the Eastern Conference Champions. Not bad for a guy who was 'questioned' as to whether he could even be a 'bench' player in the L. A guy who used to embarrass people on TV during the summer, have the co-sign of many a pro player but get nothing but skepticism from the majority of the public who frowned upon streetball players and whether they could play organized ball. Congratulation Skip. You did well fam. Real well. I would not be mad if you got that O'Brien Trophy....

....speaking of that, the Lakers won't have the issues that the Cavs had with the Magic. I am not saying they will sweep them boys OR nothing like that. They do have someone to match up with the 6'10 bombers that the Magic have as well as post players for Dwight. Hell, Dwight better hope he don't foul out guarding Pau (if they have the nerve to put him on him). Lets not even talk about who is going to guard Mamba. (Pietrus? Yeah okay...Mo Evans? He couldn't guard him in practice as a member of the Lakers.) It should be a good series though. I predict the Kobe hate will be at a all time high when it is over and he is raising the trophy. I could be wrong. I doubt it though.
