Self-explanatory, really. And that’s why it rocks. (via @jose3030)

Thanks to the NBA-friendly folks over at Undrcrwn, you can now download a computer desktop honoring the 2009 Playoffs fallen teams. Thus far, we’re talking about the Pistons, Spurs, Hornets and Jazz, but check back maybe as soon as tonight for an updated version, which he plans to keep up on all the way through the Finals.
Let’s all hope Chicago isn’t the next logo we see. (via Dime)

In news sure to generate up to 36 hours of self-congratulatory boners in the Sports Guy’s Mansion, TNT has added a HORSE competition to this year’s All-Star Weekend. The players are as yet undetermined, but we do know that it can’t fail entirely since Kenny the Jet, CWebb and Ernie Johnson will all be involved.
JE Skeets over at Ball Don’t Lie explains it best:
The game will use a traditional format in which three NBA players will establish the playing order. Once a shot is made, the next player in the predetermined order will attempt the same shot. If that player misses, he is assign — look, if you don’t know how to play H-O-R-S-E, I doubt you’re reading this blog. All you really need to know is that there is no dunking allowed and ballers have just 24 seconds to create/mimic shots.
Pretty much.
HORSE is pretty cool, but they shoulda gone with NPHRIDINGAUNICORN.

Since nothing but needless All-Star bickering is going on today and I have to post something to avoid the flaming dogshit on the porch treatment again (cut it out, mom), here’s a few videos from Inside the NBA last night.
The first features a remixed clip of Shaq who apparently was carried onto the court by the Suns’ scrub players last night. The TNT interns apparently thought it would be funny to put Chuckster’s head in front of Shaq and wait for Kenny to make “He’s fat” jokes. Unsuprisingly, it was a little funnier than it should have been. More importantly, we have Webber busting out his Tony Parker impression repeatedly, which is easily my favorite culturally insensitive but widely-embraced-regardless development of this NBA season
And here’s CWebb, Glove and Kenny throwing out some old school/new school NBA duos with somewhat similar games and deciding who is better. Predictably, the old-timers get unwarranted props. I mean, Tom Chambers was sorta sick wit it and all, but you’re really taking him over Dirk, GP? Although just as inexplicably, he takes Nate Robinson over Muggsy, who could flat out play D.
Someone mentioned the other day how it was weird that The Glove tends to be so dismissive of defense in his analysis when that is the exact thing that made him a Top 10 point guard of all time and a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
But since Gary Payton also tends to be fucking awesome constantly, it’s not really gonna sway my opinion. It’s sorta, how you say, like antlers on a hot chick. Whatever.
And just because some of you theoretically come here to find out information about what is actually going on in the NBA, here’s their takes on the Spurs this season. Boring.
