By the way, is it just me...
Or does it feel like the NBA is hoping that if they put if off long enough, fans will forget there's supposed to be an MVP and they'll escape the awkwardness of having to present it to expected (and currently humiliated) winner Dirk Nowitzki? Last year, Nash got his trophy during Game 1 against the Clippers (and it's not like the info was sprung on people that day). Here we are now with some second round series already at Game 2 and we still don't know who even won, much less when the hardware is being handed out. Seriously, what's up with that? I'm waiting for David Stern to be asked about this during a Spurs-Suns game and answer with a quick, defensive, "We already said who won," followed by a "Dude, if you don't know, I'm not telling," when pressed with the obvious followup.
By the way, here's my dream scenario for the eventual presentation. They give it to Dirk while he's sitting in a seedy Dallas bar, shot of Jager in one hand, a beer in the other, cigarette in his mouth, stubble beard, hair uncombed, surrounded by a gaggle of escorts. When an obviously mortified David Stern tries to nonchalantly hand him the trophy, Dirk angrily snatches it from him and screams, "Gimme," along with an immediate, "What are you looking at, Davey? I'm the MVP, bitch!" He'll proceed to toss the hardware across the bar, puke, and order another round for him and all his "friends." Then he asks David Stern, in all quizzical sincerity, who won MVP this year.
Ah, were a member of the NBA planning committee!

Andrew Z,
I wasn't thinking about "Anchorman," but I can see the connection. I just want to see a spectacular wipeout accompany the presentation, since it's so obvious everything has turned out so absurdly the opposite of what the NBA wanted. I have nothing against Dirk (although I've always thought he's a mentally soft player). I just find it all very amusing.

The problem of Phoenix team and fans is the well known "syndrome of Alex Rodriguez", they panick when most matter. Or more than that, they underachieve when they get close to the real deal.
Phoenix Suns know by know, what Lakers knew against Phoenix. They are a inferior team against San Antonio. You can see that in the eyes of Amare.
Not matter how many grimmace face D'Antoni put in the court begging for all the calls.
Not matter how many hard fouls Raja Bell feel compelled to manouver.
Not matter how many dunks Stoudemire celebrate.
Not matter how many trofies Nash get away it in this politicized NBA corp press .
Not matter how many they publish against the legends like Phil calling him pinguin.
Is known by now, that this game was given to Phoenix. Poppovich is already sending a tape that recount the 23 times his team was called by unjustified fouls or bad judgment.
Is clear that with ratings of the game going south, NBA need at least to try to pu some atractive matchups (In apareance competitive) for weekend trasnmition.
Saturday SA will win and they will put Phoenix away form their own misery the next 2 games.
If Phoenix can provide a respectable tv-rating, the league can cooperate to extend the series a little bit more, but isn't neccesary. For most talks and publicity, for most super praising from commentators, adulators, etc... Rreality can't be obviated: Phoenix isn't the most loved team in the NBA. Even Golden State provide more ratings than Phoenix.
So. what you are is what you get.
The only way NASH can have a championship is if he plays with a Duncan, a Kobe, a Shaq. Three names that have dominated the championship rings in the NBA the past 10 years.
So far, Nash admitted it in na samrt way: We aren't players to win championship.
He know it. Matrix know it better. AMare is getting thear, too, seeing the cathedra of finese and power basketball putted in from of him for Duncan.,

Remo....
The triangle offense is a triple post offense, based on movement with the ball and balance. The balance is to re-enforce defensive transition and to allow for offense rebound oppurtunities. I would like to see Odom down in the paint more, and i would like to see Kobe go to the basket more often instead of settling for his jumper(however sweet it is). However, the offense is based on what players are able to do. Because of the spacing it allows a team to maximize its own potential, and perhaps superceed it. It is called triple post for a reason, when Shaq was around, we didn't run a different offense we just ran it through a different post player. Now it is kobe, and until we can get someone who can put kobe back into the initator role, or at least help on the strong side post, we aren't going to win the NBA championship.
The offense designed by should be hall of famer tex winter, is perhaps the most comprehensive and intricate offense their is. Based on a players ability to read what the defense gives him, ability to go from strong side to weak side in one pass, good Offensive rebounding abilities, and continuity to allow fast breaking teams like Phenoix or G-state to struggle in their game.
I Trust the offense, now the players on the other hand.......

If this is what the NBA is really doing, then wouldn' the Lakers still be playing? Or maybe Miami wouldn't have been swept? Wouldn't they be giving Lebron a few more challenging games instead of having him sweep through the playoffs?

Hey Lakerville,
Let's start pressuring the new Laker honchos on the 2007 Free Agents, here is the list of future F/A's (a repost from the previous thread). "The early bird catches the worm." or rather the early contact catches David Stern's penalty. However, it doesn't hurt if the Laker Front Office will be designing the financial strategies how to get these players. Just in case the Buss family are lacking the MULLAH, the Lakers Blog could start passing the hat ($1m from Kamanetsky estate, Mike T can sell his TV and computer, Fatty can get a fat 2nd mortgage on his Flaggstaff villa, LakerTom and JayJay could withdraw from their 401K, mamba 24 will pass the envelopes on his usual roll call, we can start $ 10 campaign "Run for the Lakers' First Rd Performance" all over the world, as a contribution of each Laker fan to HELP Jerry Buss' empire all the way to Hollywood for them to get above averaged stars and not the usual high IQ Johnny-come-lately, the injured prone or the turnover specialist good only in making excuses "I messed up because of injuries." If we are not going to do this, they will continue to sign $1M underachievers like Tierre Brown & Smush Parker due to SHORT OF FUNDS. We will hear the same excuses at the end of 2008 ad infinitum lol!
Let's also give Mitch something to work on or else he has all the time going around the radios, TV, blogs for PR purposes without any tangible accomplishments yet. Like for example, yesterday, he started whining with excuses on K570. Laker fans should micromanage this sleeping-on the-work GM. We really don't need the talk, just MAKE IT HAPPEN and we'll be OK.

I want Amare Stoudemire to say:
Duncan, I got something prepared for you.
He won't say it. Not more theatrics for him.
With a subpar showing of Ginobili, still SA look dominant.
Yesterday Amare shined a little bit (oF COURSE WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM
THEIR FRIENDS -the referees)
The problem with Nash and Phoenix is this:
Nash is a talented player, but his body is too fragile . So, by the time they get to second round Nash is running out of fumes. The same with Dirk. Nash need to build up and solidify his phisycal strenths.
In the other hand, D'antoni isn't a good motivator. He ran out of tricks by the second round.
A key factor is the way they relegated Swam Marion to a third string impact. Wrong. Marion is the key for Phoenix. But D'antoni and Phoenix fans only give credit to Nash.
Nash also fails to give the proper credit to him.
Nash needs to come out with some statement like this to boost confidence:
"Marion is the silent MVP of our team". "He is the one who can turn the table around in our favor".
Guess, what...Nash is a dumb leader. he thing he is the real deal. He is starting to believe the bla bla bla of the press He things now that he is bigger than the team. He will regret calling out his teammates openly at the press.
Can you teach a looser to not to be a looser.?
No. Dirk and Nash are example of that.

Generic: Stop That Singing!
Falcon1 - I wouldn't know what "losers" do during the summer. What were you guys doing June of 2000, 2001 and 2002 while we were having our championship parades? From what I understand, Kobe spends his time during the summer working on his game and getting better. How about your dudes?
Getting rid of Phil? Does anyone else remember the season we tried that before? It's obvious that Phil brings wins to this game (The Jackson Journal notwithstanding). Let's ditch the dudes who make it harder on Phil to do his job, get him some talent, and let him lead us back to the promised land.
Damn, that Anchorman reference was awesome. Now I'm picturing Ginobili showing up for the game going, "Hola, bitches! Spanish language news has a headline: the streets run red - with Nash's blood!
Honestly, is there anything that tops that Anchorman brawl scene, in any movie ever made? Possibly the scene in the pool where Neve Campbell and Denise Richards make out in "Wild Things", but that's about it.
Posted by: SBPimp | May 09, 2007 at 11:33 AM
What up Mamba? Great post...very funny!
I say we give the MVP award to Kobe... He made a greater impact on the NBA this year by shattering every damn record there is to break. Not only that, he's much better to look at than Dirk Niwitzky and NBA fans pay to watch an amazink player like Kobe kill these mo'fo's on the court. Dirk is just Dirk... a big player with the most awkward feet in the game... anybody ever notice that?
You can make the argument that the Mavs had a better record but why would you? What good does it do to win 80 (exagerating, obviously) game in the regular season if you can't get past the 1st round of the playoffs???
Ok, now that I've gotten that out... here are my end of season awards!
UGGLIEST SHOT......Shawn Marion (unanimous...what the f*5$k is that?)
UGGLIEST PLAYER.....Sam Cassell (13th consecutive wins...and no challenger in sight yet...except maybe Greg Oden but he doesn't count yet)
MOST BORING PLAYER....Tim Duncan (fundamentalist my a**...no expressions, no emotions...actually kind of disturbing)
BEST KICKER IN FOOTBALL...WAIT, I MEAN BASKETBALL...Bruce Bowen (Man, does he take karate on his off days?)
YOU LOOKIN' AT ME???? AWARD... Tracy McGrady (love him to death but kind of awkward)
USELESS SIZE AWARD....Yao Ming (he's got to be the slowest and clumsiest center in the league... at least Kwame is fast...maybe not, never mind!)
KOBE WANNABE AWARD...Gilbert Arenas (nice game but can you spell N.E.V.E.R.)
BIGGEST TEETH IN THE LEAGUE...Avery Johnson (man, it looks so hard on his face when he opens his mouth)
GLAD MY HAIR GREW AWARD...Steve Nash (what the hell was he thinking...he looked like a crackhead)
USELESS WITHOUT A SIDEKICK AWARD...Shaquille O'Neal (nothing to be said here...the results speak for themselves)
DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK AWARD...Dirk Nowitsky (what is wrong with tis dude? does he get star struck in the playoffs)
CONTRACT YEAR - GOTTA PLAY AWARD... Luke Walton (I've traded this guy in my mind every summer for the past 5 or 6 years... this year, I'd like to keep him)
WIFE BEATER AWARD...Ron Artest (literally!!!)
HOPELESS IN SEATTLE (replace with Minnesotta)...Kevin Garnett (poor dude...come to L.A. baby...come to L.A.)
DESPERATE BILLIONAIRE AWARD...Mark Cuban (sorry buddy...not this year..AGAIN!!!)
Ok, that's it for now...more to come when ballots are in...

LA Guy,
Thats a weak case about about Detroit beating the Lakers. Most will remember that was an injury filled team. The only starter on that team that was healthy was Payton and he really didn't do much for that team at all when he was with the Lakers. Tony Parker was making him look so bad that year its not even funny. Malone barely played in the playoffs that year. But most chose not to remember or acknowledge those injuries.

Richtown - I'm not ignoring them, I'm pointing out that you can have unsuccessful years and that doesn't mean you'll never be good. If Kobe or Shaq had left before the 2000 playoffs, we'd say "Three years together and they couldn't win a championship". (not to mention what would have happened if Phil had never come, or if Portland hadn't gone cold in that 4th quarter in 2000). So to say "Dirk and Nash didn't win when they were together for a few years - so they should never be considered for MVP at any point in their career" is just stupid.

The reason why should be obvious to anyone that has watched this young man fumblin', bumblin', and stumblin' (thanks Chris Berman) his way through the past what is it; two, three seasons!! I'm sorry, but one 19 point game in the playoffs does not the answer for the Laker big man woes make you! As a matter of fact, when Kwame had the 19 point game, I thought to myself, "Awwww s---! Here comes another invisible man imitation, 'cause I firmly believe Mr. Brown is incapable of two good games in a row!" Was I right y'all?
Yes, at this point I'm down with the Spurs over the Suns; in fact, I'm down with whatever team is playin' against the Suns! Someone else already echoed my thoughts exactly, and stated a well known fact: " the enemy of my ememy is my friend". True Dat!!

"I say we give the MVP award to Kobe... He made a greater impact on the NBA this year by shattering every damn record there is to break."
Really? Not only did he not break any major scoring records (points in a game, half, quarter, or season), but he didn't break a single record that didn't involve scoring.
"You can make the argument that the Mavs had a better record but why would you? What good does it do to win 80 (exagerating, obviously) game in the regular season if you can't get past the 1st round of the playoffs???"
Ummm...you may have noticed that voting takes place before the playoffs. So taking the playoffs into consideration is kind of hard - unless you take in last year, where Dirk was one game away from winning it all. But we won't do that, because this is the REGULAR SEASON MVP. Idiot.
"USELESS SIZE AWARD....Yao Ming (he's got to be the slowest and clumsiest center in the league... at least Kwame is fast...maybe not, never mind!)"
Useless? Because 25 points, 10 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks is useless in what league? And you actually think that Ming is clumsy???
"USELESS WITHOUT A SIDEKICK AWARD...Shaquille O'Neal (nothing to be said here...the results speak for themselves)"
Heh - this is hilarious considering how bad you guys are begging for someone to get a sidekick with Kobe. You might remember Shaq getting to the Finals when his best "sidekick" was the immortal Penny Hardaway. Or you might remember Shaq almost winning back-to-back championships with a team that couldn't make it past the 1st round without him. You will not, however, ever remember him missing the playoffs...unlike the current Lakers star. Why don't Garnett or Kobe get the "useless without a sidekick awards?"
"DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK AWARD...Dirk Nowitsky (what is wrong with tis dude? does he get star struck in the playoffs)"
Soooo...you forget the showdowns against Duncan last year? Or the trip to the NBA Finals and the near-championship?

Let's not forget about half a dozen scenes from Tombstone, the ultimate guy movie of all time - "I'm here, Huckleberry", the drunken cup flipping scene, Billy Bob Thornton wussing out twice in ten minutes ("skin them smokewagons and go to WORK, son!"), Johnny Ringo's final scene, the beginning where they kill the groom and the priest and drag the bride off to rape and kill her... just an amazing movie, all the way around.
