Teh Hotness! January 8, 2008
Posted by TheHype in Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, Linkage, Phoenix Suns, Photoshopery, San Antonio Spurs , 3 comments |
Moments When I Feel Like The League Hates Me: last night. Because I had no access to those two hawwt games. Judging just by the final scores I know one of these things happened: Steve Nash hits daggers and passes; Iverson gets an impossible lay-up, Baron dunks on someone, and Manu’s bald spot makes a 3 pointer.
Yet I had to miss it all. OH SIGH-ness!
On the other hand, I read some pretty awesome blog posts, check ‘em:
– T.A.I. has a great recap of The Wire. More, more!
– Holy crap Steve Nash lives in Xanadu!
– Mike Tillery has an amazingly (and long… or amazingly long) feature about passing the torch. I need to clear my schedule to finish that.
– YAYsports is apparently back with a vengeance against all things either real or unreal with a Carny to boot

Freedom!
Joe “K-Ci and” Johnson hit a buzzer beater last night to make us all remember his existence. Remember when we were all psyched that Joe was going to keep doing those quadruple-threat things like 3s, dimes, dunks and high fives after he left Phoenix? Those were good times. I think we’re getting back to that psych-ness once more after that heroic end to beat the lowly Minny T-Pups.
Here’s to more Johnson vying for an MVP spot once again. Atlanta’s gotta be on the upswing one of these years right?
Here’s to some links of interest: the We Rite Goode family Doctor requested some input. So here were mine on the Nuggets. To add a little bit on that, I clearly think the Nuggets will figure it out come post-All Star break. It looks like they’re night and day — and they are, but when they’re on, they look like Superman right? That’s what I’m betting on, that they’re able to have a good hot streak into the Playoffs and carry the momentum there. They aren’t consistent, but isn’t knowing that they are not consistent, the consistent fact about them? IS IT NOT? I rest my case your honour.
Kelly Kelly Kelly Kelly! He’s been spittin’ hotkeys over at Yahoo! and it’s clear he’ll make things poppin… maybe he’ll fight Kenny Smith? There’s nothing like “FIRST!!!!!” on a post to mark the sign of a hit-maker blog.

If it’s not a holiday, then it really should be.
– Charles Barkley impersonation voice, dead on, sweet Bill Walton too.
– Some mix of a short white dude that most likely isn’t Steve Nash, but it’s set to trippy music that I find mesmerizing. The never-ending slow-mo, however? Not so much. (Also found at Jen’s Free Throw… while stalking the About Page…)
– Oh come on, you left me, for him?!
– Break out the salami and cheese, Dinosty (pronounced Dino-CITY or Dinos-ty as in dynasty? hmm, meditative questions) has got it down for Chuck Swirsky
– Hey it’s been a while, but the law firm over at Mottram, Mottram and Steinz slipped in a T.H.G. mention in their latest Blog Show. Thanks brews! PS: huh, they’re now picked up on Burly Sports… had no idea… I guess, unlike Kanye (condolences), that’s how long they’ve been not on me *:)*

I’m telling you guys, it’s in the water—milk system that’s making all the Asian countries dominant the basketball courts.
And some quick hits for tonight:
Toronto Will Murderize The Nets: since it’s regular season. Playoffs is a whole other story where nerves can be shattered… like TO fans dress up for the opposing team.
Bucks Gets Eaten By The Bobcats: But not if Yi can help it—he’s dropping 28 tonight. YEAH.
I Can’t Believe The Pacers Will Beat The Heat: That is all.
C’s Big 3 Versus The Wiz’s Big 3: Never bet against the grill.
Lakers, Suns: Yawn… there’s no story there anymore. Any true competitiveness there is sucked into the dark void that is Jerry Buss’ liver.
PS: My thoughts the Nuggets is up in the internet skies over at We Rite Goode here and here.

Lest I contain my excitement any further with not one, but TWO extra exclamation points in the headline…
The NBA starteth tonight. Fuck and yes.
I’m as happy as a peanut (peanuts gets excited no?) and to show you my excitement, I have written/draw/photoshopped things that are sooo Unrelatedness and sexy it must be seen elsewhere. Take note:
• My love letter to Rick Fox over at the Blowtorch, snippet:
Rick Fox’s allure is not so much his style of play or his highlight reels… because well, there aren’t any… I mean it, can you think of The Defining Rick Fox play? He only really mattered when the Lakers needed to be up 15pts in the 3rd quarter instead of 13pts during those championship runs. Other than that, his game is not memorable at all.
He is the role player to the fullest and somehow I chose to like him.
• Lil’ Hype makes a special and frightening appearance over at Longform at the House:
click over to it damnit!
(Updated the Toons section btw)
• And the scientists over at the Goode Store asked silly little Hype here to pitch in a same prediction/preview for the Nuggets. Well, using the ol’ calcula-matron they finally found out I’ve known for a long ass time: I can’t add.
So when we asked, we didn’t explain the experimental aspect; in a credit to bloggers’ kindness, our target participants near-unanimously agreed to help. As we collected data, the bloggers’ responses all were kept blind of one another; moreover, participants were not encouraged to focus solely on won-loss record, as we asked for that fact within the context of a larger survey.
It’s a pretty cool survey of how actually all the top bloggers aren’t just saying their team will make the playoffs simply out of loyalty… there is some “reality” to the predicts! Also, they’ll publish my blood-sweat-typed word on the Nuggs later in the week and I’ll link to it because I CAN!.
TNT TUESDAY NIGHT PREDICTION:
96-72 Spurs on top of Blazers
105-93 Rockets over the Kobes
140293-120484 GOLDEN STATE / JAZZ BLOODBATH
Join my pickings over at Ballhype picks! Fun times!

Bonjour: La Linkés And Me Mad, Yes, Anger! October 22, 2007
Posted by TheHype in Linkage , 1 comment so far |
Let’s Gloria Estefan this ish and turn it upside down for a moment—starting with the anger. I’m not so much mad, because really, if you’ve been following this blog for a while. you’d know anger doesn’t really exist in my body. In fact, I don’t even know how to spell anger… A-N-G-T-Y-Z-M… can’t do it.
But I am peeved with people breaking the Injustice To Attributions Laws of Section 1b-C3 RE: Funny Blogging Ideas.
Specifically this fun, ‘ha ha’ type of flippant affair at the FanHouse to clown all the KobeKobeKobe news out there. But then LA Times had to ruin the fun.
In a way I guess it’s flattering to have one single gag idea being ripped off by the LA Times (though kind of sad… seeing that they are just using the exact same joke). It’s just 10x worse since there’s no indication of attribution, so really, that’s like getting kicked in the nuts… after they sex with your girlfriend… and then knocked over your fish bowl. Jerks. Who does that? LA Times that’s who.
Obligatory confession: I have used gags for this blog from other places over the ‘net, but at least I did come clean about it… and I doubt anyone would think it’s serious and not satire (you know, using it to make a new statement, not just copying the same thing)
Grrr. You’re on Notice LA Times. Check out Shoals’ metaphorical dagger in the face of the Times over at FanHouse in this matter, big ups!

Last couple of paragraphs in Gilbert Arenas’ latest made me smile. (NBA.com blog)
Clutch 3 rounded things with a preseason chatter with some of my fav peoples… and I’m not saying that because I got name dropped (I see you Trey!) Uh… okay, it’s totally because of that. And they cover a bunch of ground like Who is gonna have a Breakout Year. My pick: Jose Calderon (Clutch 3)
Crucifictorious finds NYT is struggling mightily with whether Dane Cook is genuine or hackery. I’ll let the Times be all “objective” and “balanced” but I’d say we should assume the worse in people, who’s with me?? (We Rite Goode)
I love Avril Lavigne. That’s it, there’s not much to it. And I’m not sure what that says about me, but at least I said it! (via ShowHype)

Drawing and writing something related to the Utah Jazz. I know, I shocked even myself!
Clowning with the States’ VERY SERIOUS and VERY IMPORTANT chart of national freedom in the name of Laker front office mockery and photoshopery funness.

Now that Chris Clarke got Jose and Jorge, watch your back Navarro and Gasol! (End of the Bench)
I always say the NBA should go with 2 basketballs, but no one will ever listen to me. I also think pudding should be plastered on the backboard as well. (X’s and O’s)
