NBA Questions

We’re halfway through the Conference Finals and I really have had no comments about the NBA Playoffs. For shame. Anyway, I’ve got questions, maybe you have answers (Just a horrible, horrible segue. I should be taken out back and euthanized Eight Belles style. Too soon?)

Did Ben Wallace really sit out a game because of allergies? Does this replace the Scottie Pippen migraine game as most bitch ass playoff injury? I’d say no, only because Pippen’s was a game 7. But it’s close.

Do the Spurs even have a weight room? They have to be the least defined team in the league by far. I seem to remember Finley being cut back in his Dallas days and now he’s got arms that look like mine (except black). Bowen might be the closest they have to being cut, but he does yoga. That doesn’t mean he got it from the Spurs gym

Can you imagine Ronni Turiaf in Hollywood? Does he chest bump the salesman if he gets a good deal? Scream out, “Yeah, motherfucker” when a bouncer lets him in the club? Try and encourage the guy working the grill at In N Out Burger for an extra good meal? You know you’re enthusiastic when TNT mikes you and you only play 6-10 minutes a game.

Was anyone else really hoping Joakim Noah had Purple Drank in his cup? Though that might make me like him if he was caught with that. I’m already conflicted enough that he was drinking Henn Rock (allegedly). I was thinking he would be more of an Alize guy.

Was I the only one who didn’t think Big Shot did anything to David West? From my perspective, it looks like Horry was about to set a solid back screen and David West just jumped to contest a pass at the wrong time.

Did anyone else see the cross promotion during the Lakers-Jazz game with High School High? Specifically with Vanessa Hudgens, who had naked photos of her leak on the internet? I’m not a big fan of this ABC cross promotion stuff (to say the least), but if you’re going to promote someone that I can easily picture naked, I’ll support it. I’ll be honest, when I’m at the gym and her video comes on the tv, I’m watching it.

Is it me or is every game a 15 point blow out?

Is reneging on your Vegas spots the new crime for 2008? With Chuck and Pacman doing it already, I’d say yes.

Is it me or am I the only one who thinks Marv Albert gets excited to say Vujacic?

Wait, Atlanta has a WNBA team? Is it because they were able to attract so many fans for their NBA team? This would be a favorite in the Dumbest NBA Move of the Year if the Gasol trade hadn’t happened.

Is hiring Damon Jones as an analyst the best or worst thing a producer could do? I’m completely confused by this hiring. All I know is that he’s taking airtime from Jalen Rose.
