Not a bad debut by JR Smith of the Knicks
When Smith was with Denver, there were moments when he would heat up from deep & have the fans on their feet. If he’s a consistent contributor the rest of this season, MSG will be rockin’. That’s not the same as winning all their games, mind you. “But, it’s gonna be entertaining.”

I swear people who say why they don’t watch basketball have never seen more than one game in their lives. It’s always the “every player is selfish and they don’t play defense” excuse, which is a crock of shit.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Durant and WestBrook were on their Super Duper Saiyan Shit yesterday. Just ridiculous watching them go all Double Dragon.
The NBA had a good day yesterday. I didn’t miss football too much, either.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
I love college ball but hate the NBA. Compared to the college game, it appears that those two things are true — i.e, I understand why people hold that opinion. It’s not true, but it seems true.
To me, though, the NBA lacks atmosphere, effort, and energy compared to college, and that’s why I dislike it. Plus the season/playoffs are waaaaaaaay tooooooooo loooooooooooooong.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
How about the teeniest tinyest kitten you’ve ever seen?
Dang, that was sweet. Nicely done, cj.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
This is usually what I hear about the NBA. I’m an avid fan and get crap from plenty of people. Many of them are the college purists who admire “good old-fashioned teamwork” and “selflessness.” OK, I’ll throw a stereotype back at you and your stupid college basketball – they play “like a team” because they’re all average and the game is boring as hell.

February 20th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
A part of me still thinks that Russ was still a little salty because he has a MONSTER game but the headline was Durant goes for 50. Loved what Durant said in the postgame saying that Russ carried them in the overtime though. I just don’t see this ending well ala Kobe and Shaq. Have wo alpha males ever really co-existed ‘well’ in their primes?
February 20th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
The very bottom of the comments section has the author of the ‘article’ talking about Obama’s birth certificate. I dont know why I read that thing. I feel dumber. TBL, why did you link that?
February 20th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
Dude, look at that box score. It’s like NBA Jam numbers when you put them side by side. And totally lost in it was Ibaka’s triple double! Eleven blocks?! YO!
And this is what I’m talking about right here. This whole idea purist thing. You probably didn’t watch any NBA yesterday, but the “atmosphere, effort, and energy” in the showcase games were just as good as the biggest college basketball rivalry game.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:56 AM

February 20th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
LOL
It’s true. Westbrook was money in the overtime. Who knows how they’ll co-exist, but they’re both under contract together for like five more years. So there’s plenty of time to improve together or fall apart. As of now, neither seems to have that “ego” you saw in MJ or see in Kobe, if you know what I mean.
Loved that the first thing Durant did after the overtime buzzer was to hug his momma.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
The thing is, Kobe and Shaq were/are both kind of me first assholes. Durant seems like he’d change your tire in the middle of a blizzard. He’s gone out of his way to make sure that Westbrook knows how important he is. And Westbrook, 40 point game aside, has been MORE than getting his while Durant is still putting up 27 a night. Plus, if they can get 3 titles like Kobe and Shaq did, ending badly is still a good trade off.

No they don’t. Check out the link posted by TZNJoe. NBC and HuffPo got fooled.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
I agree to an extent but I think when the better of the two players has the ‘ego’ everybody else seems to fall in line. Mike had it and the Bulls, as a franchise, obviously benefited from that. The Lakers clearly made the right decision when it came to keeping either Kobe or Shaq. I’ve always wondering if things would have played out differently between those two and the Lakers had they beat the Pistons in the finals instead of getting bulldozed 4-1.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
Not a bad debut by JR Smith of the Knicks.
that guy is a willing shooter of the basketball.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
But it’s not, though. The arenas are corporate multi-purpose centers completely devoid of character. The fans may be interested in what’s going on…sometimes. The idea of a major upset simply doesn’t exist ( the NFL suffers from this as well).
This isn’t even comparable. The atmosphere in college basketball destroys anything the NBA can hope to have on its best day. The NBA may have more of that stuff that casual fans understand, but it’s nowhere near equal.

My religion is better than your religion. – Rick Santorum
February 20th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
This whole scenario is a media creation. Westbrook has done nothing or said anything to show that he’s jealous of or doesn’t like Durant. Durant gets intimidated against Dallas in the playoffs last year and decides to hang out on the perimeter and Westbrook becomes the bad guy because he is the only offensive option left.

I don’t know if any political event this year would make me happier than seeing Santorum somehow win the GOP nomination. Watching Obama speed-bag him in debates would be must-see TV. He’d win all 57 states with Santorum on the other side of the ballot.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
It seems to me that college basketball fans who hate on the NBA confuse bad offense (most college teams) with good defense, and in turn, confuse great offense (NBA players) with bad defense/poor effort.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Well, I mean, his middle name is Hussein after all. And Obama sounds suspiciously like Osama. And he is half-black and his deadbeat dad was from Kenya. And I know al Qaeda sometimes hangs out in Africa. So that means he MUST be a MOOSLIM! A ter’rist! GIT UM!

I really liked the zombie portions of this episode. Its too bad that most of the episode is all talky talk.

Oh, and was anyone else cheering for the zombie to get Lori in the car? So close.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
The Walking Dead.
Woof.
I think every single male character should profess their undying love of Lori. It’s like some kind of writing trick. She’s got such a great personality or something that the guy who’s banging another chick won’t even give that chick the time of day.
My favorite part was when the guy jumped off the very high roof, despite the zombies not being that close, being on the ground, and him having a gun and being in a super good hiding place.
I also liked how he landed on the other roof, broke all his downward momentum, and still ended up in that predicament.

yeah, that’s the only good thing that will come from this. I’m rooting for Newt or Santorum, since they both sound crazy now being in a pack of crazy people, it will be jarring when lined up against Obama in a debate. and the SNL skits would be better than 2008.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
But it’s not, though. The arenas are corporate multi-purpose centers completely devoid of character.
Ohio State plays in Valu City arena. Louisville plays in the KFC Yum Center. Villonova plays at the Wells Fargo Center. Marquette plays in a multi-purpose arena that’s 10,000 seats too big and only sells out for maybe 3 games a year. I could keep going, but for every Cameron Indoor there’s a Verizon Center.

One more month until we replace the Walking Dead talk with Donald Draper slaying bitches.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
I want to be wrong about Westbrook and Durant as I love watching both guys play. I just have my doubts because they’re both scorers and Russell, while I’d consider him a top 5 PG, isn’t that great of a facilitator. To be effective, he must score. Same thing with Durant. Time will tell though and winning seems to be a nice cure for ANY issues.

Maybe back in 1998-2005 I’d agree with you. Maybe. But not anymore. College play has fallen off a cliff with the 1 and done rule. It’s a much worse farce than the NBA, IMO.
As for atmosphere… did you watch the OKC game last night? Keep that in mind when you’re watching 3rd and 4th round games in 80000 seat football stadiums that are 1/4 full.

I think that’s my biggest problem with this show is all the stupid discussions these people have. Where is this show going?
The first 15 minutes of the show should be what 90% of the show is about. Them going around and fighting zombies and or other people, and making tough decisions about how they’re going to protect their people. The show’s so bad at writing characters that it shouldn’t compose more than 10% of what we see. Still have yet to figure out why I should care about Dale, or Carol, or anyone on the farm aside from Glenn’s GF. Lori is just a fucking moron. Oh yeah, there’s a token black guy on the main cast that gets 1 line a week too. No idea what his story is.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
I really can’t believe people thought that Christwire thing was real. It’s pretty much the same thing Landover Baptist has been doing for like 10 years.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
one major character/actor has signed on for a new frank darabont pilot project, so that character’s time on the show is quickly coming to an end and from what i gather it happens soon.

That is the one place in the NBA with an atmosphere 41 times in the regular season. The rest of the NBA is lucky to have an atmosphere that’s half of that more than 5 times a year.
As much as I hate to say it, MSG has a great atomosphere for 41 games a year… Chicago still sells out every game… Portland sells out and has a great atomosphere. The Warriors, who aren’t very good, have sold 95% of their tickets this year. I’m not saying the NBA is perfect, but this “college is so much better” argument has plenty of holes in it. Starting with the number of bricks thrown at the rim every game.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
It would taken all of you 5 seconds to find out that Christwire is satire…a fairly well-known satire, at that.

Interesting that they’d kill off the one “bad guy” the show has. And the zombies don’t count as bad guys. When you are cheering for them to eat people. they are clearly something else.

February 20th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Interesting that they’d kill off the one “bad guy” the show has.
he’d be more interesting if they didn’t make him cartoon-y bad. the annoying blonde had a good point last night… all of his decisions have probably been the right call, but the way he presents himself makes him seem like he wants to be the bad guy.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
but it’s PBR, so after 2 you’re done. so really it’s not about beer, it sounds more about the regret and hangover you have the next day.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
I feel bad for Darryl. He’s gonna be the only dude on the show. Surrounded by zombies and whiny little bitches.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
hope they replace him with the guy and his son from the first episode
the idiot who wouldn’t shoot his zombie wife? meh. if he hadn’t figured out that there’s zero sense in keeping her alive so she could around trying to eat other people than I’m afraid he’d be ridiculed by us for being dumb as we have the rest of the group. We don’t need another hershel.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
the guy comes back eventually, I’m not going to be surprised if they bring him back instead some other short lived characters they meet on the way to their next “safe haven”, everything i’ve read is the writers are trying to get one character, Michonne, into this season or early season 3
February 20th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
It would taken all of you 5 seconds to find out that Christwire is satire…a fairly well-known satire, at that.
I admit my ignorance. Never heard of it.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Just woke up — so we’re talking Walking Dead?
February 20th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
There needs to be more Herschel-centric episodes!
/I hate this show
February 20th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
That “connection” he has with Sophia’s mom is one of the most forced things I’ve seen on TV in a while.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
You sound like a lightweight!
We’ve been doing this for 4 years. Drank 3300 of them with about 360 people last year. Last beer was gone 5 hours and 10 minutes after the first was cracked.
This year, 4000+ beers and about 425 people. And most importantly, raised $7000 for an inner city after school program last year.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
I can’t stand Karl, he is such a pussy. At first I liked Shane, because though his ideas seemed insensitive, they would probably be the best in that hypothetical — but now he is becoming too much of a caricature of the bad guy. Hershel is slowly turning cool — shooting people and going on benders. Daryl is being an asshole, purely for being an asshole — but we all know he is going to bang the girl who has the short hair.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:48 AM

Yeah… what the fuck was that confrontation with her last night supposed to mean? Wish I had those 5 minutes back. He’s the only character I kind of liked, but last night was probably his worst episode. They almost made him too redneck.
Speaking of rednecks, any of you guys watch the amazing race?
February 20th, 2012 at 9:49 AM
but we all know he is going to bang the
girlold lady who has the short hair.February 20th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
Walking Dead is terrible. Nothing happens.
I’ll say it. The zombie genre is played the fuck out.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
I was pretty sure Darryl was gonna throat fuck her. But then he didn’t.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
It’s one of the very few shows I’ve jumped into from the start and didn’t wait for it to become a success before I started watching. I could have just waited to hear everyone bitch about it here and saved myself the time.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Hahahaha!
February 20th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
Yep.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
I think getting yelled at gets her hot.. hence her previous husband
February 20th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
“If it’s a girl, can we name her Sophia?”
W-E-A-K!
February 20th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
The only thing worse than Walking Dead is that Talking Dead show that airs right after.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Also, I love how some episodes they have someone on top of the RV keeping a look out for zombies, but last night, they didn’t really seem to care. They were all in the dining room discussing things, and the previous night nobody was looking out either. Given that the town which doesn’t seem to be too far away is crawling with zombies, and lori hit one about .25 mile down the road, you’d think they’d be a little more careful. I guess they know that zombies don’t wander onto the farm at certain hours or something.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
They should start a spin-off zombie show called T-Dog and Dale. That would be a lot more interesting and funny.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Again, all credit in the world to those of you who can sit through Walking Dead. Everyone else should be watching Luck and preparing for GoT/Mad Men.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
Spring Training kicks off 2 weeks from yesterday. It was also Hockey Day in America yesterday. Good times.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
They should start a spin-off zombie show called T-Dog and Dale.
the only character development T-Dog has had all season was in one episode where he got hurt, started hallucinating, and accused them all of being racist and that they were going to leave the black guy behind.
okay.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
“If it’s a girl, can we name her Sophia?”
Like, shut up kid — i appreciate the sentiment, but let the grown ups talk. Also, that stupid sheriff hat makes me hate him with a passion.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Dumber move:
Dale trying to hide all of their guns, or Lori wandering off on her own to save the day, even though we hadn’t seen her fire a gun all series?
February 20th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Credit to MLB for scheduling all of these games on Friday. St. Paddy’s and Cinco De Mayo being on Saturday and Opening Day on Friday does not bode well for my liver.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
I don’t generally watch “Amazing Race” but I saw part of it – I assume Pennypacker is referring to they mentally challenged white dude from Kentucky (yes, I know some of you think that phrase is packed w/redundancy).
February 20th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Good times. At least he showed some initiative.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Kid actors are the worst. I’d rather watch Simple Jack for two hours than a scene with that kid.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Yep. I have been eyeballing my tickets leaving for work every morning. Can’t wait.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Anyone want to give me the short of the long on how the Bulls fell to the New Jersey Nets on Saturday?
February 20th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
It would be better if Karl was like the kid from Jerry Maguire.
/lets go to the zoo!
February 20th, 2012 at 10:03 AM

Rose wasn’t playing and deron williams couldn’t miss. It’s the NBA, even the bobcats have found a way to win 3 games, which is a minor miracle.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
fuck, it seemed like it was played out 2 years ago, and yet here we are still bitching about it.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Kid actors are the worst. I’d rather watch Simple Jack for two hours than a scene with that kid.
He needs to take that ridiculous fucking hat off. Is he supposed to be cute wearing that?
February 20th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Eastbound was not that good either — dare I say Kenny Powers may have ran his course
February 20th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
I believe the Nets got out to a huge lead, 22-3 or something.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Child actors fucking suck.
I want to make a horror movie where all the kids who have ever gotten cool characters like Matthew Lillard in Thirteen Ghosts killed get killed in horrific ways.
And I want it to be a documentary.

Anyone know what Bucher’s apologizing for? https://twitter.com/#!/RicBucher/status/171605970726817792

Not sure, but it’d better be for the stance he took last year that Rose is better than Lebron.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
His previous post was about Smith and China, I’m guessing that is it. Doesn’t seem too offensive to me?
February 20th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Can’t remember exactly, but he referenced JR Smith’s shot selection or game being “sweet and sour”
February 20th, 2012 at 10:25 AM
… oh, yeah that’s probably offensive then.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Thought it was funny that ESPN suspended the anchor with the asian wife for using the “chink in the armor” phrase.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
That post was just as ridiculous as the ChristWire one
February 20th, 2012 at 10:32 AM
… oh, yeah that’s probably offensive then.
Saying seet and sour is offensive? really? I guess. But is it offensive to reference shamrocks or 4 leaf clovers when talking about the Irish? I dunno. Seems pretty harmless to me.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
That post was just as ridiculous as the ChristWire one
I was terribly hungover when that post went up, but if that would have went up on a weekday at 11am, it would have gotten 300+ comments.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
People get less offended when a cultural stereotype is applied to white people (if it’s done BY white people). Not sure why this is such a hard concept to grasp.
I’m not saying that it is offensive to me, but I get why some people would find it offensive, especially after ChinkyChinkChinkGate. (For the record I think that at least eighty percent of the people offended just want something to be offended by)
February 20th, 2012 at 10:45 AM
I bet you can figure it out.
February 20th, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Failure to properly utilize a KUNG FU GRIP in said grasping?
