LiveBlog: Game 7 of the NBA Finals!

Here we go!  Game 7!  All my friends have given me all the shit in the world for liking basketball because they know that the NBA is fixed.  They also forget that the NBA is smart because you make more money with 7 games being played.  Enjoy your sweeps and coach plane rides NHL!

Here we go!

Jumpball......and of course there's a fucking whistle.

Ok, take 2.  Spurs win the Tip.

Each team now has one turnover.  Popovich is ready for his halftime analysis.

Thanks for showing up Pop!

"Super Nintendo" Mario Chalmers waiting for a foul call while catching the ball out of bounds reminded me of the kid's who didn't hustle in travel basketball because they

Two fouls on Manu.  Interesting.

Miami fans are so interesting to watch.  They all wear white, yet they all wear stupid accessories, like fedora's and sunglasses IN DOORS!  "Hey hun, will this cream colored fedora go good with the D&G sunglasses or my DKNY sunglasses?"  "I thought we weren't going to Dolphin's games anymore?"

Commercial breaks are awful.  That Lone Ranger movie will get a robust 8% on Rotten Tomatoes.  I guarantee it.  Johnny Depp is shit.  Armey Hammer better run fast because he's been in 2 movies that are shit if you count Lone Ranger.

Chris Bosh wins the 2013 picture taker of the year.

With 2 minutes remaining in the first quarter, both teams give a feeling that either team is going to reach 100 points.  Lebron left wide open, miss.  Birdman is contributing in his department of rebounding and scoring easy buckets.  Shane Battier is hitting his 3's.  The Spurs look a little rusty.  Kawhi Leonard CANNOT MISS ANYMORE FREE THROWS! (he just missed one).  Quarter ends with the Heat ahead by 2, 18-16.  Lebron exercising in his fake gym that shows a parking garage in a 30 foot window view is a great ad for Best Buy.  COMMERCIALS SUCK!

Tiago Splitter, Winner for Best Name in the NBA Finals, reminds me of the Russian guy from Eddie, who keeps saying "Ivan Make Basket".  Just a thought.

Dwayne Wade was just everywhere in the last 2 minutes.  Getting a foul, blocking a shot, rebounding and passing about 4 shots.  He's tough, but he'll need to stay healthy all game.

There are so many people in the arena wearing sunglasses indoors.  Is this a thing I don't know about?  Is everyone in Miami just a huge douchebag?

It is at this time that I should mention to everyone that I just learned that Kanye West's baby name is North.  North West.  As in the direction.  Maybe Kanye just saw the movie North and was really enthralled by it.

Wow.  The synopsis of North is that a kid travels around the world looking for SUITABLE PARENTS!!  ART IMITATES REAL LIFE!!!!!!

North is also on the Internet for Free!!!!

This is part 1.  I don't care about rights, it's on youtube.  Deal!

So back to basketball, both teams AREN'T scoring points.  It's drive to the hoop, miss, rebound, miss, rebound, loose ball, rebound, drive, miss, rebound, miss, and then whistle.  With 3 minutes left, it;s 37-32 coming back from a White House Down commercial starring Bruce Bowen.  Surprised he didn't take out Jamie Foxx's ankles in those rebounds.

The Spurs have regained some momentum.  They've made 12 straight FT's according to Mike Breen.  Wade has really started to take control of this game on the Heat side.  He's driving hard, going after rebounds, and making defensive contact.  With halftime arriving, it's 48-46 Heat.

The Internet is going insane over a baby named North.  I made a joke about baby cologne named North by  North West.  Speaking of which, it's such a good movie.  I guarantee Kanye or Kim hasn't seen it.

Probably my favorite Hitchcock movie.  Every scene is amazing, plus it has that awesome shot of Mount Rushmore.

I just went to Yahoo Sports homepage and this is what I see.

Bosh is going to kill Danny Green.  It's only a matter of time.

Okay, second half is back.

Mike Breen just told me about Kawhi Leonard's huge hands with an anecdote about huge huge huge huge huge gloves for something.  This is basketball.  No gloves allowed Breen.

Through several transitions, Miami is up 2 with a score of 54-52.  Danny Green made a stupid no-look pass that ended up being stolen by Mike Miller, passed to Lebron, and hurled to Wade for a fast break dunk.  The crowd in Miami got excited as usual for dunks.

WNBA live access commercials make me laugh.  There is no way that someone pays for that.  Sorry females, there isn't just enough interest.

I would really love to hear someone Mic-up Chris Bosh and Tim Duncan.  It would mostly be for Chris Bosh, because I don't think Tim Duncan ever speaks.

Dwayne Wade got mad at Chris Bosh and made a really mean face.

Timeout Spurs.

After timeout, Danny Green hits a three.  Still more than Ray-Ray.

San Antonio has 8 turnovers at this point of the game, under 5 minutes to go.

Lebron James can also make three's just like Danny Green.  Boris Diaw trying to get the ball into the post looks funny.  Not ha-ha funny, but funny in a "I'm worried about his health" funny.

Lebron is going to start taking over this game, while the Spurs are going to use the power of teamwork and excellence.

I'd hate to say it, but I don't know if Lebron is going to lose with 26 points in the 3rd quarter.  He's going super-saiyan right now.  If you don't know what that is, it's because you never watched Dragon Ball Z after school when you were in middle school.  I did.

Lebron James has a ton of points right now.  So does Dwayne Wade.  However, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and Mike Miller are 0-11.  The Spurs are spreading the floor and getting everyone some points.  The Heat are playing 5 on 2.

At the end of the 3rd Quarter, the score is now 72-71 Heat after a Chalmers' buzzer beater three.  One quarter left and it looks really tight.  Can't wait for this ending.

The beginning of the end it is.  4th Quarter.

Lebron drives, dishes to Battier for three, and he's now 5 for 5.

Duncan sat to start the 4th and just jumped up to check in.

This game is getting TIGHT!!!!

Well this is the part of the game where we can now start to see Spurs defensive fouls as well as Offensive fouls on Spurs players.  Anderson went to the line.  Lebron is now that the line.  I know Steve Javie said earlier that these refs are the best in the league, but I'd expect him to say that about anyone.

Hahahahaha.  Chris Anderson just got a lane violation.  What is this 5th grade BYB?  Nice job.

Duncan just scored on a "shass" from Parker.  He took about 4 Heat players with him too.

The Heat's defense is wait for someone to drive and then collapse on them.  I don't know if it will work in the time they have left because they could just dump it off and score easy buckets to Duncan.

So much has happened.  Manu made 3 mistakes than drained a huge three.  Bosh made a foul and Duncan scored the And-1 to make it a game.  This is so much excitement.  The Spurs are keeping this game tight and I love that this is ending the way it is.

Minute and half left.  2 point game.

Spurs had a chance to score!  And they didn't!!!!

Battier could have scored a three, didn't.  Lebron didn't score.  Spurs are still within 2.

Heat are now up by 4 thanks to Lebron.  I don't like him.  I mean, I understand he's the best player in the NBA, but he's very hateable.

Pop's coaching coming out the timeout is going to sound like a Disney movie "stick together".

I was wrong on that one^

Parker was sitting on the bench.  3 point shooters and Duncan.  He didn't need a three, but instead he got a Manu turnover, which puts him back to 4 mistakes.  Dribbling under the basket and then throwing it over 2 guys named Lebron James and Chris Bosh.  Spurs turnover.  It's been nothing but turnovers.  Pop said it in Game 3.

Heat sealed the game with another shot or two.  I was busy getting sad.  Pop sat Parker.  They lost.  Can't say that it would've been different, but I'm guessing he wanted a three shooter out there.

To end it well, David Stern said 2002013 NBA Champeens.

That's it for 2013 Basketball.

Weekly Top 5!…..Hip Hop Whores!

TOP 5!

I'm going to start blogging Top 5 things that I think should be a Top 5 of all-time, or at least until I think that they could change. I won't stick to broad topics like movies or sports figures, but I will be more specific in terms of a Top 5. Top 5 movies is too broad, but perhaps I would include Top 5 movies of a certain genre, character, ending, etc. I will want some ideas from my "readers", because there is only so much I can think of.
This week's top 5: Hip Hop Whores (rappers/hip-hop artists who are featured in more songs than needed)

5. Kanye West

We all know and kind of love the guy who can't show any love for people that do well other than himself, but we must show him some love right now. For he might walk the red carpet with a bottle of Hennessey and his voluptuous girlfriend to then only walk up during Taylor Swift's award ceremony and make a complete fool of himself, but we might still listen to your music someday. I don't want to say he peaked, but he definitely has to make up for lost charisma after that thing. Although, if it counts, I also think Beyonce was robbed. No one is watching Taylor Swift videos thinking, 'man that's a great video', they are thinking, 'man, that's a great song'. P.S. MTV needs to start showing videos again if it wants to keep that award ceremony, otherwise, I think Youtube should be able to take over that shit. Proof of Whoring: Swagga Like Us, Run This Town, Forever, American Boy, Make Her Say, Maybach Music 2 (I know no one really listens to Rick Ross much, but come on)

4. Eminem

I'm not gonna lie, but I think Eminem has been rapping about the same thing for the past decade. Having said that, I have noticed his recent change to being featured in songs rather than just put out rap albums. It's easier for him and he's probably the best freestyle rapper out there. I was a bit skeptical at this pick for #4, but then I rethought my list and there is plenty of
reason why he should be the #4 hip-hop whore of all time. He has roots to Dr. Dre and Snoop for one, and he brought in 50 Cent. I didn't go any further than that because Lloyd Bank was a piece of crap. Most people wouldn't consider the real slim shady, mainly because he's such an entity by himself, but this is one of those people that can tour with 4 other, mix it up on stage, and still do a solo portion of the tour. Kudos Slim! Proof of Whoring: Forgot About Dre, Drop The World, Forever, What's the Difference, Airplanes (i hate this song)

3. Timbaland

No one knows the beats more than Timbaland does. He started all the way back in the 90's with Magoo, brought up a very popular singer named Aaliyah (tragic), and still managed to return to the apex of hip hop being a perfect MC to mix it up with just about anyone.  Even Weezer made a song about how everyone being on the Top 10 charts mixes it up with Timbaland.  I think his resume speaks for itself and he could easily be #1, but I just think he gets enough credit for being a hip-hop whore since he is a beatmaster.  They don't call him Mr. Bose for nothing.  Proof of Whoring: Are you that Somebody, Apologize, The Way I Are, Elevator, Promiscuous, Carry Out

2. Pitbull

Pitbull is a currently the Hip-Hop Whore of the year for 2010.  He has been in more songs and featured than he has in his own albums.  He started a little while ago with the song Go Girl and Hotel Room Service, for which was one of the few songs that make me think of my Spring Break 09 Daytona trip.  He makes the club go nuts and usually has all of the hottest women in his videos.  I don’t think he’s really latino, but his accent in his songs are almost too close to tell.  His songs are definitely forever embedded in my workout mix.  I don’t really see him fading out either since he is pretty clean as far as crime goes and he also has got the club beat on lockdown.  Proof of Whoring:  Shake, Hey Baby, I Like It, DJ Got Us Falling in Love Again,

 

1. Lil Wayne

This ladies and gentlemen is the king of all hip-hop whoring.  Lil Wayne may be behind bars, but trust me he will hold this title for a long time.  He has been in more songs that he doesn’t belong in more than any other person in the hip hop world.  I don’t even know where to begin with him, and I don’t see any end in sight.  He still has more damn mixtapes than anyone, which baffles me because I thought the mixtape went out with the tapedeck.  Shows you how much I know.  Anyways, there isn’t much I can say about this guy that hasn’t been said already.  Without Lil Wayne, we would not make it rain, we would not drop the world on your fucking head, we would not be getting it in and then going off, and we would not be yelling YOUNG MONEY or A MILLI.  He will be making music for a long time and will probably be freestylin’ for a long time, whether people buy his crap or not.  Proof of Whoring: Forever, Swagga Like Us, Down, Let it Rock, I Cantranform Ya, Make It Rain

Honorable Mention: LMFAO, T.I. T-Pain

Red Eyes, Tommy Boy, Boo-Gate....

Okay, so first thing I do in the morning is wake up and look at myself. Make sure I don't look like shit for most part and then put on the glasses and bring the laptop downstairs to enjoy some TV. Then I notice something. I remember something about last night. My eyes are all red. I didn't leave my contacts in, but apparently when you have your contacts in backwards all day, it will turn them a deep red. A guy at work today thought I was hit in the face with something because my eyes were this color red. I took a picture of them last night and they were red as the devil's dick as one might say.

I know this picture makes it look like a deer in headlights, but realize this is right after taking my contacts out. Haven't seen this many Red Eyes since watching Couglin from Cocktail make breakfast. So I continue my morning and for the rest of the day, I have come redness in my eyes. Mostly noticeable, but I get over it. After work, which ended rather late, I drive as fast I could to get home and do this. Thinking about about what to complain about or what the hell the road guys are doing working when it's raining, or how fast I can go without being pulled over by the cops on the side, who I think are either sleeping or doing a jumbo book of sudoku. I notice something on my hood after the 93 split. My hood is bouncing. Not a good bouncing, but the kind of bouncing that would make you wonder what is wrong with this car now.

Immediately I think of the movie Tommy Boy, where Tommy is driving their piece of shit car along with Richard and they are singing the Eres Tu song and all of the sudden the hood of the car shoots up and blocks the windshield. The scene can be seen really fast here, and all I can think about is at what point will my car hood smash into my windshield and make a great coming-home-late-one-night/buy-me-a-new-car-now story. I just try to get home as fast as possible because I am in the middle of the roadwork area and I don't want to pull over in that area just so people don't have to think 'Look at that poor asshole on the side slowing everything down, it's bad enough with the roadwork'. I will endanger my own well-being just so I don't have to be on the side of the road at the 1Am hour. Anyways, I made it home, slammed the hood shut, which made a pretty loud noise. Hope I didn't wake up anyone, but then again, I don't care.

Aside from living dangerously, I decided what I would really blog on was this "Boo-Gate" thing I was reading on the TV ticker we now have at work in the break room. It said something about Dancing With the Stars, Bristol Palin, Boo-Gate, and something else. My first thought: People booed Bristol Palin off of DWTS and incited Boo-Gate. Then I look up online and I read that people were booing because her score was too low. She got straight 8's! What the hell people? Why are you complaining this much about dancing idiots?

Speaking of idiots, and things they do, can the media stop calling every 'scandal' or thing that goes awry "Problem-Gate"? Watergate was called Watergate because of the name of the hotel was Watergate. Not Water. It's almost like if another Watergate happened, we would call it Watergate-gate. I'm utterly surprised that people let this slide this much. I googled "suffix gate" and the first thing that pops up on Wikipedia is a list of scandals that end in gate. I'm not kidding. Antennagate (iPhone 4 antenna problem), Nipplegate (Janet Jackson's nip-slip during the Super Bowl), 3 different Troopergate's, SpyGate (Pats videotaping Jets), Tigergate (which I always called Tiger Woods Balls get caught in the trap), Monicagate (whatever happened before Bill Clinton got 1000 high fives from staff workers), Kanyegate (Kanye speaks the truth in front of everyone and says that Beyonce had a better video over Taylor Swift, which was correct no one is talking about Taylor Swift's videos, just her music), and some others I don't have enough patience for right now, are just the tip of the future oncoming iceberg of uncreative headlines for the news of our time. Let's go people, get creative. Make another news headline that doesn't involve the word gate at the end of it and you might get my attention. Let's hope tomorrow I get home on time and don't have to waste all of my time talking about this crap anymore. I wish. Mahalo.
