PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH!

The Lakers seem to defend Ginobli better than just about any team in the league (I think he's averaged like 29% shooting against them this year). I don't doubt that he'll have better games than last night, but I wouldn't count on him going off for 25+ at any point in this series. It was a really terrible call, yeah, but it didn't really affect the game at all. The Lakers didn't score and the refs immediately made up for it when Ginobli fouled Gasol and knocked the ball out of bounds and they called it out on Pau. Fisher's not that vital, but one of the main reasons that they were able to beat Utah semi-handily was Odom playing out of his mind. When his head's actually in the game and he's not blowing easy layups or tripping over his own feet out of bounds he can be an absolute nightmare matchup, especially for a team like the Spurs whose front-line guys don't really have the quickness to stick with him.

Oh man, I just read that The Decemberists played at that big Obama rally in Portland. I don't know if I can vote for someone who shows such open support for boring, milquetoast indie rock.

I have to call bullshit on this. A lot of Chicago's problems this year can be attributed to stuff like a lack of motivation and disarray in the locker room. Do you really think that adding a certified head case like Randolph to the mix would have improved things?

I like to see Kobe try to get other guys involved but 3 shots in a half is just way too few.

I think maybe the Tyrus pick might have been Paxson's attempt to prove that he's not what everyone says he is by picking a player that's basically the complete opposite of the prototypical "Paxson guy" (super-athletic, questionable bball iq, etc).

It'd be #6, probably. I like it well enough, but it doesn't quite move me in the way that those 5 do. EDIT: Welp; I just realized I'm a total retard and completely forgot about The Raincoats. That def. should be somewhere in the top 5, possibly as high as 2 or 3 (or maybe even #1??!? ranking albums in a meaningless hierarchy is tricky business)

John Paxson is an American white guy and his biggest dream is to build a team comprised entirely of John Paxsons.

Ha, yeah, it really is. ban them both/

Top 5 canonical post-punk albums 1. The Pop Group - Y 2. Wire - Chairs Missing 3. Public Image Ltd - Metal Box/Second Edition 4. This Heat - Deceit 5. The Slits - Cut EDIT: on second thought Chairs Missing is better than Metal Box

I'm a life-long Pistons fan and I don't even know if I can stomach watching another game of such shitty, uninspiring basketball. This series is an aesthetic nightmare.

Did you just totally forget about Marion or are you operating under the assumption that he's definitely going to opt out?

The Obama people really should have tried to get some more attractive supporters up near the front.

Make it into a muxtape

To be fair, they did admit they were wrong when the replay showed that there wasn't any contact.

The best scene in movie history probably

Except you'd probably be more like McLovin with a badge.

It I was a cop I'd probably shoot myself in order to escape the shame of being a fascist pig.

I think that's an admin-only thing.

I can't believe she's engaged to Shelden Williams. I mean, really?

What? This is the most likable team the Lakers have fielded in ages. They play up-tempo, exciting basketball and don't have any really hatable players other than Sasha. They're actually like the second or third least deplorable team still in it.

Rivers looks really uncomfortable.

Wrong. Song of the year (so far) is "Titus Andronicus" by Titus Andronicus.

I've always taken it as short-hand for "sounds kinda like The Eagles"

This is embarrassing on so many levels
