Huh, interesting that this unaired SNL clip with Will Ferrell and Shaq didn’t blaze up the NBA blogs last week. Then again, I think the world hasn’t forgiven Ferrell for dropping a bore that is Semi-Pro…
Great Moments In Lip-Reading History: Chris Paul May 5, 2008

Now I don’t have the techno-gadgetry of say AA or Odenized, so you’ll just have to believe me. Or, if those two spots have it, believe them when they upload it.
A little under 11mins in the 3rd with the Hornets totally owning the Spurs, David West made an awesome move on Horry and scored down low. Afterwards, there was a little shoving after the fact by West, to which he got T-ed up.
He couldn’t believe it and was spouting unbelievably at the call. Chris Paul was right on him to which (thank the TNT Camera People Gods) we got a clear look at his words:
“Yeah yeah, I know. FUCK. HIM.”
I can’t say anything else other than: Chris Paul, I think I want your babies.
ps: Marv Albert said something to the effect that Paul was trying to calm his teammate down by saying ‘ relax’ and even showed the replay of Paul & West convo… I still think my version is better.
What’d I Give For… The Zards Beheading The King; Rockets To Fly; And Hawks Warrioring The Celtics May 2, 2008

Listen kids, back in the year 2008, there were these great Eastern Conference first round match ups that took everyone by surprise. Your uncle Barney made legendary bet that if LeBron James AND Kevin Garnett did not make it to the second round, he would hit on Doris Burke.
Now, believe it or not, back before you kids had the ANBCBSPNNFOX sports network that you have today, there was this amazing network called TNT — where they had crappy original shows but for unexplained reasons, their NBA coverage surpasses every single sports show about any sports.
Let’s bring you up to speed: May 2nd, 2008. The Washington Wizards’ legion of fans versus Cleveland’s royalty. Of course LeBron was the easy choice to plow through a measly opponent like the Wizards… as their key stars are just trying to recover while a great role player is invoking a rap war over the hardwood floor.
But you obviously have not been reading up on their mystique (not the WNBA team). This is a team that will do magnificiant damage in the realms of the unseen. This is a team that shall unequivocally push their limits as a collective onto an undeserving royal. They will rise up and make it game seven…because I’m really needing the points in my playoff point.
Undeniably, I’ve been a T-Mac fan 4 lifez. Part of the enduring love and frustration for rooting a marvel such as he is not seeing his failure in the first round exits. Nay. It is our own unfulfilled expectations of superiority for a beast that cannot be defined—Darwin couldn’t draw shit like this.
If it were up to the 12 Gods of Kobol, T-Mac would’ve been ostracized long ago into Cylon kingdom. He’s not one of the pure NBA great. His storyline never changes. Worst of all, he keeps an arsenal of power that will only come out to attack when you least, and inconsequentially, expected. He is a frakking toaster.
But I still root for the guy. Because through his sideway eyes I see myself. One that was destined for greatness but for some reason our GPS gadget broke. We’re in perpetual lost-hood. Until we crawl ourselves out of the cave, there is but one option: faith in the unknown. That is the legend of the right shoulder vein.
As for the old soul Hawks versus the old old Celtics. It will make my heart warm up like the south if Atlanta maintains their idealism by flipping the script. No one gave them a single game. Yet Joe Johnson came to cross up that delusion (what up Leon Powe) by reminding the world he was once untouchable as an original mover of the ‘05 Phoenix Suns team. Let them pass and the world will be in total order. Chaos will be Boston’s street name.
Try to explain the West...
