There have been a lot of great developments so far during NBA Playoffs: Week 1.
Deron Williams proved to be even more amazing than we thought. The Spurs stole home court from the Mavs. Josh Smith has devoured four souls. Dwyane Wade learned new and more vengeful ways to hate his teammates. Joakim Noah went to war with the city of Cleveland. Gerald Wallace suffered 14 undiagnosed concussions. And J-Rich had the best game of his career.
Still, the best development of this postseason thus far has not happened on the court or even within Joakim’s scrunchy — it has happened in Photoshop.
Doc Funk has been dropping masterfully captioned photos after each game, and every batch is better than the last. LOLz for dayz. So to help spread awareness and revisit some of the awesome, I’m planning to do a little “best of” recap each Friday until the trophy is handed out by posting my fav five (don’t call it that) of the week.
Be sure to check out Doc Funk’s Brain on Funk for many, many more everyday.
And please let me know in the comments if I missed your favorite.

Late in Game 2 of the Bobcats/Magic series, Stephen Jackson got smacked in the face while driving to the hoop and missing a layup, but the refs apparently didn’t see it. Which, at least in an Alanis Morissette way, is kind of ironic considering that the result was Jack not being able to see since the blow dislodged his headband from its normal location and turned it into a blindfold.
Ever the opportunistic debater, O’ Cpt. My Cpt. Jack never fixed his headband and waited until there was a stop in play to let the official know what happened. Here, he presents prosecution Exhibit A. (image via whatthenoelle)

For the most part, NBA logos are pretty generic. And we’re at the point in our countdown where that’s about all you can say about some of these. I mean, the Bobcats’ logo isn’t as ridiculous as some, but it certainly isn’t all that special either. Hell, this could just as easily belong to an arena football team except that they don’t spell “Bobcats” with a “Z.”
But if you ever wondered what Garfield would be like on meth, look no further. You think you hate Mondays? This dude tears Mondays a new asshole. And then he crashes on your couch for three days, pissing himself and moaning about how the Russians stole his 10-speed. And you keep asking him to tell funny stories about how he’s a cat but he LOVES lasagna, only all he does is threaten you with a Rambo knife that he keeps in his boot. And the only “Jons” that come around aren’t some lovable, goofy owner so much as scary guys with too many piercings who really like the feel of a cat’s tongue on places no cat’s tongue should ever go. And after that, he always disappears for days at a time until the cops find him punching your car because “it was mocking him.” Then you have to bail him out of jail or risk having your house burnt down again.
Oh, that crazy cat.
So, anyway, like I said, it’s a pretty generic logo.
Morgan O’Rourke is an editor and writer whose love of basketball is directly proportional to the success of the Knicks. As a result, he misses Latrell Sprewell a little more than he should.
Odie is fucked.
