N.B.S. "Who Are We (The Celtics)"
Tuesday, June 1, 2010




Veteran Boston duo N.B.S. delivers what is sure to become a street anthem for the Boston Celtics, entitled “Who are We? (The Celtics!)”, produced by new comer C-Lance (fresh off of his release with Beanie Sigel & Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks). Released just in time for what is sure to be a heated match up against the rekindled rivalry with the LA Lakers, this track is sure to fuel the fire at home and worldwide that will push the Celtics over the edge and secure them yet ANOTHER championship…

Video - LeBron Breaks His Silence
Monday, June 1, 2009


Nice of him to offer a few words in the aftermath of his team's post season meltdown. Clearly, he's pissed off about losing...and rightfully so. I don't agree with him not congratulating the Magic after the game, but I understand where he's coming from. You would hope for better sportsmanship from the MVP of the NBA, but it is what it is. In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure Dwight Howard isn't losing sleep over it...he's got bigger fish to fry.

And speaking of fish...that's the last time we talk about Cleveland fisherman here at Have You Seen Me Dunk for the rest of this post season.

Happy fishing, LeBron!

The King Is Dead...Long Live The King

66.

39.

28, 7, 7.

1.

4.

0.

Ok, you might be wondering what these various numbers have to do with anything. Lotto numbers? Lock combination? No...here goes:

66 represents the number of games that the Cleveland Cavaliers won this season. 39 is the number of home games they won (out of 41), which is one of the best home records in NBA history. 28,7, and 7 were LeBron's averages in points, rebounds, and assists - one of the best stat lines ever. 1 represents LeBron's first Most Valuable Player award, received after leading his team to the best regular season record in NBA. 4 represents the total number of post-season games that the Cavs have lost during the 2009 NBA Playoffs. And 0 is the number of times that the Cleveland Cavaliers won on the homecourt of the Orlando Magic this season. O is also the number of NBA Championships that LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers possess.

The last two numbers, 4 and 0 are the only numbers that matter here. Although their current postseason record is 10-4, that record has no chance at improving because of their 0-3 postseason road record against Orlando. Frozen in time because the Cavs couldn't work their magic away from the Q and because they had no magic against the Magic.

This is no fluke, though. Orlando has simply owned the Cavs over the last two or so years, winning 12 out of 17 games against Cleveland. The Cavs could have won the championship on the back of LeBron James...if they got the right match-up. Despite their 66-16 regular season record, they were only 3-6 against the "elite" teams of the NBA - Los Angeles (0-2), Orlando (1-2), and Boston (2-2).

And like just like that...after ripping off 8 straight wins to start the playoffs...after all the dancing and general good vibes that they felt all season long...it's all over. And King said no words to anyone after it was all said and done.

0. No championship to soothe decades of heartbreak.

That's my lasting image of LeBron James. A person, who in defeat, didn't have the grace and poise of "royalty" to congratulate the foes who dashed his championship hopes against the rocks.

I forgot one more number...2010. Anyone who has been following basketball this year knows the significance of 2010. And if Cleveland hopes to keep their Most Valuable Player on the roster for years to come, they better make immediate changes to turn that 0 into a 1 next season.

But for now, His Majesty will have to be content with being King of the lake for yet another summer.

Ron Artest Keeps It Real
Thursday, May 7, 2009

E said that last night's playoff games were some of the funniest he's seen in a bit. What was even funnier/realer was Ron Artest's post-game interview. Check out this bit:



Simply amazing. EDIT Apparently, Ron wasn't bullshitting. Here are some of the things that went down last night:

If You Root Against a Lakers - Celtics Finals, You're a Hater
Sunday, May 25, 2008

Apparently, Jemelle Hill thinks that we should all be rooting for a Spurs/Pistons Finals match-up because it would shut up all of the conspiracy theorists who say that the league is trying its best to get Lakers/Celtics match-up. She also goes on to say that the Pistons and Spurs would be "our core sports values at work", Tim Duncan is "perhaps the best player of his generation", and that "If you love teams that win because of their commitment to team basketball, root for Pistons-Spurs. If you're sick of seeing basketball dominated by And-1 wannabes, root for Pistons-Spurs."

Jemelle, what the hell are you smoking?

The conspiracy theorist, most often than not, is also commonly referred to as a "hater." Would the league (and the general public) rather see the Pistons and Spurs battle it out in 7 games with scores that barely crack the 50s or would the league (and everyone except for citizens of Detroit and San Antonio) rather see the leagues two most storied franchises battle it out for basketball supremacy? It's like asking Major League Baseball if they'd like to see the Red Sox and Yankees square off every year in the post season versus having the Milwaukee Brewers take on the Kansas City Royals. The reason why the final four in the NBA are in the position they are in is not because they were helped out along the way, it is because they are simply better than everyone they've faced. And yes, the Lakers got Pau Gasol for a roll of medical tape and some hot sauce, but if the two teams agreed to the trade and it was approved, then that's what it is. The fact that Isiah Thomas destroyed the team with the largest media market should stand as strong proof that the league isn't trying to rig things.

As far as our core sports values being at work, when the hell did flopping like there's no tomorrow (see San Antonio Spurs) become a core sports value? When did making it to the conference finals six years in a row and only winning one world championship but acting like you've won the title six years in a row become a core sports value? Detroit is the same frachise who's fans almost killed the league a few years back when they decided to use an opposing player for a trash can. San Antonio is also the same franchise who's fans broke into a chant of "Horry! Horry!" when Cheap Shot Rob nailed David West in the back and left him motionless on the court. Yeah, they're some real class acts.

While I will not dispute the fact that Tim Duncan is among the best players of his generation, I'm still rolling with Kobe Bryant as THE best. Tim Duncan has played like a superstar when his team needed him, but it's not like he was playing alongside some scrubs. Kobe has been a transcendent talent and is one ring away from matching Duncan's championship total.

"If you love teams that win because of their commitment to team basketball, root for Pistons-Spurs." Seriously? Have you even seen the Lakers and Celtics play this season? The Laker's triangle offense is back to prime form and the way they run a fast break is among the league's best. If it wasn't for the Celtics absolute commitment to team basketball, they wouldn't be two wins away from the Finals right now. It's also safe to say that any team who is "playing like And-1 wannabes" is watching the playoffs at home right now (and didn't make it to begin with).

To be fair to Jemelle, she explains that she is a native of Detroit and would love to see the hometown team make it to the Finals. However, her article is just absolutely ridiculous. After such an outstanding season of basketball, a Spurs-Pistons championship would be the worst possible outcome.

Jemelle, put the haterade down!

See:
America should be pulling for Pistons-Spurs

Mamba strikes again
Thursday, May 22, 2008

Kobe had 2 points in the first half...the Spurs led by as many as 20 points during the game...this douche bag in the restaurant proclaimed that if the Spurs won game 1 that they would win the whole series...then Kobe took over.

25 Points later, Kobe Bryant had every Spurs fan on the planet feeling sick to their stomach.

Game, set, and match. Holla at y'all in Game 2.

(Eff the Spurs, by the way.)

Kobe sons the Spurs
