The Week That Was

July 7th, 2009

PACERS CLIPPERS

I haven’t been in SLTHQ for quite sometime now, last Tuesday to be exact, and DAMN has a lot of shit happened.  Let me give you a recap:

  • Ron Artest
  • Wack ass Federer beat my boy Andy Roddick in the finals at Wimbledon… going 30 games in the 5th set
  • Steve McNair?  So sad.  Hopefully a lot of dirt doesn’t come out on him to tarnish what his career
  • Brett Favre’s doctor said Brett wants to play and wants to play for the Vikings.  WTF.  Looks like I will have a new NFL team for the 09-10 season
  • RON ARTEST
  • Dwayne Wade gave himself an out for the NBA Free Agent Sweepstakes of 2010.
  • The wedding the Hurricane and I went to didn’t play any MJ… but the band kicked ASS.
  • The weather in the NY area was amazing… once again proving that God loves America
  • Wang got injured and will NOT be replaced by Phil Hughes, but rather  Alfredo “ACE” Aceves
  • ‘Sheed signed with the C’s, but that doesn’t matter because:
  • ROOOOON “MUTHA F*CKIN” ARTEST!
  • I watched a Roman Candle fight and it was fantastic
  • Ron Artest to the Lakers, in case you haven’t heard

All-in-all a fantastic week off…

Kobe’s Internal Dialogue

June 15th, 2009

57690340

Here is what Kobe was thinking during every single question that was asked last night:

“Bite me Shaq”

It was funny to see Kobe celebrate with his teammates… you can just tell that they don’t like him personally. But, he won them all a championship so they should at least be grateful.

Kobe’s NBA Finals Line:

  • Points – 32.4
  • Assists – 7.4
  • Rebounds – 5.6
  • Steals – 1.4
  • Blocks – 1.4
  • Girls Raped – 0

All-in-all just a fantastic performance by the games best player (not LBJ).

Lakers Up 2 – 0… yadda yadda… MAGIC

June 8th, 2009

Lakers won last night. That’s all you really need to know/care about. In honor of the Lakers going up 2 – 0 in the NBA finals, I will post a commercial that I have watched about 50 times… and still get the chills every single time.

Go Lakers.

Lakers WHOOP Magic in Game 1

June 5th, 2009

Nothing really to say about last night’s Laker DOMINANCE other than if they play that this they will sweep.  Unfortunately they have not played consistent this entire playoffs so they could just as easily get beat in Game 2.  Anything is possible which is friggin scary.

Kobe’s legacy is all about this series, if he loses he can’t win without Shaq and can’t win when he is the best player on his team.  He wins he is one of the best all time.  I think he knows that:

Points – 40

Boards – 8

Assists – 8

Steals – 2

Blocks – 2

 

Just SICK.

 

How can Howard only only attempt 6 field goals in this game?  HORRIBLE job done by Ron Jeremy.

Obama Picks Lakers in Six

June 3rd, 2009

When Obama was asked who he thought would win the NBA Championship, his reply was:

“Lakers in six, I think.”

Regardless of what you think of  his handling of the financial crisis, his foreign policy or choice of cabinet members you have to respect his choice in the Lakers.  KOBE KOB!

Go Lakers

May 29th, 2009

SLTHQ is about to close-up shop and the Hurricane and I are about to go out and get weird… So, in honor of the Lakers game tonight, here is a video that if you don’t get chills you may be dead.  the MVP chant at the end (yes I know it was for the 2008 season) was fantastic.

Go Lakers.

Vince McMahon vs. Denver Nuggets (well, Stan Kroenke actually)

May 19th, 2009

Not sure if you have heard but the 4th game of the Lakers/Nuggets playoff series is scheduled for next Monday in Denver… and the WWE has the place booked. In about two days the 24 hour news cycle is going to make this story overbearing and annoying, but right now I think it is fantastic. Whenever Vince McMahon gets an opportunity to get free publicity he takes it. He is absolutely bonkers…

Where Will Amazing Happen? Teen Wolf Edition

May 18th, 2009

In honor of the Lakers stepping up like a true championship caliber team and putting the hurt on the Rockets in Game 7 here is the latest installment of the Where Will Amazing Happen? parodies. Did anyone see what happened in the Celtics game? (burn)

Game 7? WTF

May 15th, 2009

The Houston Rockets, without Yao and Tracy, forced the Lakers to a game 7? Really? How can the Lakers blow out the Rockets by 40 in Game 5 then get outscored 27 – 15 in the 1st quarter? If Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks light you up for a combined 50 points you need to reevaluate things a bit.

This guy? Really?

On a positive note, there are two game 7’s on Sunday… Sunday Funday indeed.

Report: Derek Fisher Suspended For Game 3

May 7th, 2009

nba_g_fisher_580

There is a report out (no source sorry) that says Derek Fisher is going to be suspended for Game 3 because he laid a pick (read: laid out) on Luis Scola.  What kind of bullshit is this?  Granted, it was a HARD pick and fine, he got ejected.  But a whole other full game suspension?  Why does everyone say that NHL playoffs are the best of the majors?  Because the intensity is multiplied 10 fold.  That is what happens in the NBA too… you WANT people to play harder.  You can’t call meaningless fouls in the last minute and you can’t suspend players for playing hard.

For the record, while I am happy that Artest got ejected because that left Battier to defend Kobe alone he didn’t deserve it.  Hopefully Artest, Kobe and Fisher aren’t suspended… hopefully the teams don’t play less hard for the rest of the series.

To quote Simmons… I am getting sick of the No Balls League.
