Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

A Gentleman's Respectful & Earnest Discussion Regarding the Glorious Sport of Basketball

Pictured: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

Haha, fuck you, Boston!

I don't really give a fuck about Boston.  I mean, Boston is objectively the 2nd worst colonial city (behind Charleston) and they're completely irrelevant to anyone that isn't in Boston and they're all racists and even worse they're all micks and they hilariously refer to themselves as "working class" because their poor people are white and they're pretty much the Quebec of the East Coast, but I don't really give a fuck about Boston.  Why would I?  I'm sure that ant you stepped on today thought you hated him as you crushed him under your shoe but I doubt you even noticed he was there. 

But I do give a fuck about Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.  Fuck those guys.  Kevin Garnett is Chris Pronger if Chris Pronger was a pussy who was terrified of his own irrelevance while Paul Pierce is a complete douche bag.  Complete.  I just hate him so Goddamn much.  I'm trying to think of a hockey player to compare him to and the best I can come up with is... Doug Gilmour?  Remember when people said Doug Gilmour was good and tried to play up a rivalry between Gilmour and Gretzky even though Gretzky was way, way, way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Gilmour?  That's Paul Pierce.  He's a fairly good player who has been lucky enough to play for a city that overrates their players.  That's it.  Comparing Pierce to Kobe Bryant is like comparing your balls to your dick; both are pretty cool, yeah, but one is a lot more involved in getting the job done than the other. 

But the worst thing, and I mean the WORST thing that I can not stand, are pundits who needlessly antagonize opposing fanbases just because they mistakenly think pageviews equal worthiness.  Guys like Dan Shaughnessy and TJ Simers are terrible and shouldn't be allowed near a computer.  Sports writing should be used for rational discussion, not for needless baiting.  If you see any writing like that, let me know so I can admonish said writer appropriately.

And actually, the worst thing in the world is writing while drunk.  Don't do that.

Save your ire for the Red wings and the Ducks. Basketball is a shit sport that doesn’t deserve your acknowledgement. A bunch of pussy crybabies falling down all over the court.

I’ll let you in on a little secret…the guys with the whistles deside the winner.

In a related matter, I hate the Lakers and I hate that little girl Sasha Vujabitch.

Agreed.

I also get the feeling that Paul Pierce is one of those guys who goes into theme parks in a wheelchair when he is not actually paralyzed so he can get on all the rides before anyone else.

And you should have heard his comments about the Lakers fanbase. He says the Celtics fanbase is more knowledgeable about the game while us Lakers fans (those that go to the games at least) are only there to see the celebrities watching the game.

Speaking of which

Basketball is like that ant to me — it’s not even on my radar, and I’m only vaguely aware people pay attention to some LeBron guy — but I do notice in that picture there they sure use a classy cursive font for writing “The Turds” on the floor (court? fiberboard sacrilegiously placed over the ice?). So that’s something.

I’m 100% with on you the basketball = ant thing, so I think “The Turds” would perfect. I do so wish it said that. But I’m going to take a wild guess and say that the words are actually “The Finals.”

See, and I kind of get that, but what bugs me is that people outside the hockey world don’t and then they’re gonna think a Kings game isn’t worth going to. I hate to feel like I’m so touchy I can’t take a joke, because I can, but stuff like that gets under my skin.

One of my favorite BoC posts was RK letting off on Paul Pierce the year the Celtics won the NBA, in that game where he hurt his knee, acted like someone had decapitated him while raping his mother, and then came back 5 minutes later.

Comparing Paul Pierce to Doug Gilmour is genius. I used to compare Leafs fans to Yankee fans, but after reading this post I see the light.

Okay, that’s what I get for not thoroughly reading what is written.
