“With the 60th pick in the NBA draft, the Boston Celtics Draft Semih Erden of Turkey, goodnight.” – NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver
He got out of there like the Sandman was behind him. Commence blovations.
This is a good omen for tonight’s NBA Draft and should lead into a good number of trades and swaps with the number of role players available tonight. We’re on the lookout for trades from the Miami Heat, NY Knicks, LA Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Charlotte Bobcats and certainly the Portland Trailblazers who have enough draft picks to stock a new D League franchise.

F Maceo Baston

The Raps now have a monster front court comparable in size and ability to the Lakers and the Magic. That’s a huge difference in being able to compete with a big front line from us, the Celtics, Hawks and Pistons. O’Neal is going to allow for Bosh to keep his game in the 15+ ft. range and force defenders to play one on one, but both he and Bosh have terrific jumpers for big men. I’d imagine they’re going to see a lot of zone defense next year and really need to work with Calderon about finding the holes and dishing. A big question is whether they are going to continue to let Barga float around on the outside or is he going to need to be the enabler for their Big 2 and catch the scraps. Either way, his shooting should drastically improve in percentage in volume.
Indiana at the very least gets a guy who takes himself seriously and has the ability to get a triple double on any night. That’s going to be big in getting the other players involved who seemed to be content with watching Tinsley and Dunleavy be the entire offense. An offense with a great deal of motion and underneath passing will be important with a smaller squad and hopefully we can see why they traded for Diogu in the first place. Nice trade for everyone and I think the Pacers will go with one of the project bigs at PF or C with the 17th since Granger keeps them solid at the 2/3.
These professionals took their show on the road and opened up the world’s most expensive ice cream truck [||]. Seeing as how this is South Beach, please are liable to believe anything, especially when it’s flashy and comes with a surprising price tag. This price tag was surprising, being $40 to drink unlimited in an area where that much only gets you in the club and the 1st drink+tip. I applaud these ho’s efforts.
Moving one’s business to a mobile enterprise is a tough call with fuel prices, insurance premiums and most taxing, the cost of finding a crew of Guido’s to decorate your van. It’s having confidence in the craftsmanship of work and sleeping well knowing that the coke-friendly mirrored finish is be accentuated by the finest leathers capable of repelling frequent applications of the Gentleman’s Relish. And truly, I’d agree that it’s just not worth the harm caused to the environment by a gas-guzzler, but let’s think of the savings:
1. Access to the HOV lane. Carpooling!
2. There’s no shower on that party wagon = tremendous water savings.
3. It’s like Space Camp for Bang Bus fans. Not quite the real thing, but worth the trip.

Just fiddling while Kobe is letting Rome burn down. I’ll try to watch an entire WNBA game this summer afterward and am already happily looking forward to the Draft. Brandon Jennings is like high school Marbury but way over the top.
The Music : A svelte Ronald Jenkees, freshly posted.
Baron Davis aka B-Diddy aka Boom Dizzle aka Donovan McNabb practices what he preaches. The Magic would be nice with him at PG and even Battie at F/C.
Brandon Jennings highlights from the Jordan Classic.

You can count on Dave Letterman. Obama/Old Man 2008.
After his accounting fraud arrest, Ryan is now locked up or out on bail in NYC. This opens up the position that Jim interviewed for, as well and allows Pam to either move into that office or pursue art school. Aziz Ansari is the only new person confirmed so he could be there to counter main character Jim. A combination of Ryan and Dwight would be ok, but kind of easy so a former spelling bee champion turned MBA asshole blogger gives plenty of latitude. I could dig this show with more of the coke references in Ryan’s story arc.
Scranton will need to elevate people : Kevin – now thought to be particularly slow by new HR Rep Holly Flax, she gives Michael romantic aspirations while he works with Jan + othersperm baby and is the comedy foil to the stiffs (Dwight, Angela, Stanley) which will hopefully result in more Dwight and more Cousin Mose (FEAR!). I’d also like to advocate for more Darryl and meetings of the 5 Families of the Business Park.
Since the gays will get mad if bloggers continue to use the terms “outed” or “coming out” for the event in which an aliased blogger has their real name and profession revealed. The first I can think of is Michael Schur who is Cousin Mose, a writer for the show and Ken Tremendous for #1 Super Terrific Happy Dragon Phoenix Web Blog Fire Joe Morgan. More severely, Michael Tunison (Christmas Ape @ Kissing Suzy Kolber), outed himself on KSK and fired from the Washington Post.
As the original term was thieved, I’ve found legitimacy in a co-opt. My entry [||] for the updated version is : Born Again.
