STUPID SPORTS SH!T: WTF IS THAT ON KG'S FINGER?!?!

by Chris Richardson, Intentional Foul

While most blogs are talking about Magic and Bird, Russell and Wilt, I thought I'd take a look at what's really important about the NBA Finals, which, of course, starts tonight. Instead of worrying about silly things like NBA history and who is going to win, I thought I'd ask this question about the second most recognizable face playing:

WTF is that on Kevin Garnett's finger?

I mean really. Is that some kind of overkill or did he hurt his knuckle so bad, he needs almost two inches of cushioning to protect it when he grabs rebounds and dunks?

Maybe he hurt his right ring finger when he was pounding his chest...

The first thing I thought is, "did he go to the Barry Bonds school of extremity protection?" It's not like he's been wearing that thing on his finger all season either.

So WTF, folks? I know what finger splints are as I am aware of finger sleeves, but I've never seen anything like this used for basketball player. In all honesty, it looks like it would hinder his shooting touch, although, all that excess padding does seem to stay over the top of his finger.

I'd hate to see what Garnett's shot would look like if the protective body kit for his finger rotated around to the palm-side of his hand. Maybe it would look something like this:



Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels the need to ask this question, although, I disagree with Yahoo Answers when it says the issue is resolved because the "finger sleeve" answer is not good enough.

If that is merely a finger sleeve on Garnett's hand, it's the freaking Super-Sized version. I'm wondering if someone grabbed it and pulled it off during a game, would his entire ring finger come off with it? If anyone has an explanation that goes beyond, "oh, it's only a finger sleeve," please let me know.

This is NOT just a finger sleeve:

TOP 10 TRULY SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE NBA PLAYOFFS

by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool

(Why a double shot of listy goodness? Because I love you all that much.)

10. A team led by Kevin Garnett is having difficulty

9. George Karl and his 3-16 career Nugget playoff record is still employed

8. Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady and Carmelo Anthony are still not going to get out of the first round

7. Washington doesn't seem to have much of an idea on how to guard LeBron James

6. Watching the same commercials over and over again will make you want to go on a 3-state killing spree

5. As a further proof that God hates us, a Spurs-Pistons final is looking all too possible

4. The series that the networks all ducked (in this case, Raptors-Magic) stunk

3. Mark Cuban doesn't seem very happy

2. At least five times per game, you wonder if the refs are in the bag

1. The Finals will seem like an anticlimax, because there will be a team from the East in it

THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER TO THE MVP QUESTION

by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks

And that answer is LeBron James.

With all due respect to CP3, The Big Ticket and The Black Mamba, this has been the year where King James ruled the NBA and his performance deserves to be acknowledged.

Chances are LeBron's dominant season will go unrewarded, as the voting community seems to be split on the aforementioned three who had equally impressive seasons. The strange thing, however, is that when all the talking heads and vote casters discuss the candidacy of the consensus candidates, they usually make the correct point in asserting LeBron's qualifications. But still they side with someone else.

Cleveland is a 20 win team without LeBron James. Period. End of discussion. The fact that they won 45 games and earned the four seed in the East speaks volumes to the impact of the St. Vincent - St. Marys superstar.

Since I know - and you know - MVP isn't strictly about numbers, spending a lot of time on stats isn't going to happen. All that I will say is that LBJ went for 30/8/7 per this season. You have to figure that if Larry Hughes could have knocked down an open 15 footer or two before getting sent to Chi-town, the line would have read 30/8/8. Still...

The main criteria for MVP is how valuable that player is to their team. No one, myself included, would argue that these four cats aren't all vitally important to the success of their franchises, but take a look at the rosters and tell me how LeBron doesn't trump the competition?

KG had a huge impact on the Celtics, there is no denying that. But that team also has two multi-time All-Star selections as Options B and C in Paul Pierce and Jesus Shuttlesworth.

Kobe gets all the credit for the improbable season the Lakers had, but shouldn't some of that credit go to the bench guys that he so desperately wanted to get away from at the start of the year? And Andrew Bynum's performance pre-injury? And the Pau Gasol theft from Memphis? And The Zen Master?

Chris Paul is on a similar level as LeBron in terms of impact to his team, but even the Hornets managed to play well in the absence of their floor general. David West was an All-Star this season and Tyson Chandler has been a difference maker on the defensive end for a couple seasons now.

Which leaves us with LeBron.

Will he win the award? No, probably not.

Should he? You know my answer.

All hail King James.

CELTICS DESERVE CREDIT

by Brian P. Foley, The College Baseball Blog

The Boston Celtics destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday evening by a final score of 110-91 to end a four game west coast trip with a perfect record. The win was an intense and chippy contest which saw Lamar Odom take a run at Ray Allen with about three minutes left which was more reminiscent of a Rodney Harrison tackle. They upgraded their record to an outstanding 26-3 mark. The national media before this trip kept saying the Celtics have played nobody so they should not be respected. I think the national media should be taking notes right now because the Boston Celtics are a legitimate contender for the NBA title.

If the a team decides to double team Kevin Garnett on the post, the Celtics have the ability to rotate the ball to the open shooter which happens to be either a seven time All-Star in Ray Allen or five time All-Star Paul Pierce. How can any team contend with that much talent on the court at one time?

Yes, the Celtics have a weakness at point guard with Rajon Rondo who is only in his second season. He tends to get dominated by physical point guards like Chauncey Billups among others but is able to run Doc Rivers offense. Kendrick Perkins is a fine player to get underneath the hoop to clean up some missed baskets and score some easy points since he is wide open with all the attention on the NEW BIG 3.

The Celtics bench is loaded with young veteran players like James Posey. He is able to shut down any player in the league similar to Tayshaun Prince and Bruce Bowen. Posey is also able to knock down the three point shot and can play any position on the floor in case of foul trouble. Eddie House is the top point guard coming off the Celtics bench as he is able to drop 20 points in 15 minutes as he is a strong streak shooter and has a great quick release.

It is time for Charles Barkley to wake up and give the Celtics their well deserved credit. The hunt for title number 17 is on! Sorry all you Anti-Boston people in the country as Boston might win another championship this year.

IT IS OFFICIAL I AM ON THE BANDWAGON! GO CELTICS!!!

BEYOND THE ARC: SHOT FOR SHOT -- NBA STYLE

by Noce, Chicago Bull

My friend, and ChicagoBull partner, Dr. C and I have been sitting on this story, waiting for just the right time to bust it out. We've always thought it would be funny to compare NBA players and their personalities to shots.

It makes watching a Knicks/Heat game a little more fun when you can project David Lee's favorite shot is definitely the "Alabama Slammer". While there are some pretty easy ones (AK47 - Sasha Vodka), there also could be creative and sometimes downright nasty shots.

You could even make a little game of it and watch your favorite player and do his signature shot every time he makes a basket (or in Kirk Hinrich's case every time he commits a bad foul down some Jim Beam).

Here's what we have gathered so far:

"AFTER-BIRTH" - CHRIS KAMAN

- Seriously, is he the missing link or what?

INGREDIENTS:
Dash lime cordial
25ml Bailey's Irish Cream
25ml vodka
Mix Vodka and Dash of lime in a 50ml shot glass (Make sure they are both well mixed) Gently top up with Baileys - Do Not try to float the Bailey's, simply pour gently. The ingredients will swirl round in the glass but will stay separate. Very similar to Slippery Nipple except the Bailey's is not floated, the added lime changes the taste and also makes the Baileys feel more solid in your mouth. Very strange sensation as you swallow, but excellent drink.

RED HEADED SLUT - BRIAN SCALABRINE

- (SEE PICTURE)

INGREDIENTS:
jagermeister
peach schnapps (archers)
cranberry juice
shake with ice than strain into shot glass
Taste great, real easy 2 make and drink

JAGERBOMB - ANDRES NOCIONI

- Provides instant energy

- After 4 or 5, will make you flop on your back attempting to take a charge

- Immediately prompts violent fist pumps

INGREDIENTS:
1 can red bull
3-4 ounces Jagermeister
pour the Jager into a glass, add the red bull, and slam that tasty shit

BUTTERY NIPPLE - KOBE BRYANT

- Good, but girly in every way

- Has been known to help seduce hotel waitresses

INGREDIENTS:
25ml Bailey's Irish Cream
25ml Butterscotch Liqueur
Pour Butterscotch Liqueur into a double shot glass and float the Baileys on top.
like slippery nipple but better!

GOLDSCHLAGER (STEVE FRANCIS)

- Seems like the right idea at the time but always gets ugly in the end

SAKE (YAO)

- Will cause to run really slow up and down the court with little to no coordination

JAMISON (KEVIN GARNETT)

- Smooth, quick and always fucks up your inside

ALIEN CUMSHOT (SAM CASSELL)

- Need I say more?

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 oz. creme de menthe
.5 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
Pour 1.5 oz. Creme de Menthe into tall shot glass. Add Bailey's slowly as to make sure the two don't mix. The Bailey's will sink and float like a lava lamp.

THE BEER TENT: LET'S TRY THIS BOUNCING AROUND THING AGAIN

by dswinder, Sons of Sam Malone

Here at Epic Carnival, we meet weekly under The Beer Tent to shoot the shit. I, dswinder, will be the ringleader, but you can join in on the discussion every Tuesday at 3ish!

You may recall that last week I switched up the format on The Beer Tent. It was meant to be a one-time thing, stemming largely from my tabula rasa of a brain. But after careful contemplation, manipulation, and tribulation, I have chosen to continue with this format, at least for the time being. We'll see where it goes. I really just felt the need to shake things up, you know? It was time to flip it and reverse it. The day was long overdue to turn it over and switch.

So... if you don't like the whole jumping around to different topics briefly and would rather I go back to rambling on about whatever tickles my fancy -- let me know in the comments. If you would prefer I just quit altogether -- well, your parents hate you. But, I do hope you have a holly jolly Christmas... Onto the crap.

Random Ramblings (w/links):

Quick Public Service Announcement: Do not lean over the railing at professional sporting events... You might wake up dead. Apparently, a fan at the Vikings - Niners game fell over a four foot wall, twenty feet to his death. The truth is, this story is tragic, so I'll make no more ill-advised attempts at humor.

Damn those bloody Brits... Booing the U.S. National Anthem in the United States is disrespectful, completely lacking in taste, and exactly what I would picture coming from a mouth containing the teeth of Britons. Hey, tit for tat. Here's an idea, chaps -- next time you have a boxer come to the states to be knocked on his ass in the tenth round, how about you guys just not show up. Learn some respect.

Pacman Jones should really hate Jamaal Tinsley right about now... If Pacman were to be shot at outside a night club in the early morning, he would be facing another year long suspension and the berating of Skip Brainless for weeks on end. Jamaal Tinsley must have used a get out of jail free card with the Pacers. How you fail to punish a guy for his third late-night altercation in just over a year is beyond me.

Floyd Mayweather isn't at all cocky... I mean, there is nothing at all arrogant about throwing around 10,000 dinero in a single night. And yes, I do mean throwing around.

Everyone has no doubt seen something concerning the poll on ESPN.com suggesting that KG blow out his knee... Well, no surprise to anyone, Garnett ain't happy. And when KG ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Or is that when one's mother is unhappy? Oh well, either way ESPN is sure to know of Kevin's displeasure.

New Jersey residents aren't happy with Mullet Man Melrose... What I don't understand is -- what's not to be happy about someone, who has never visited your city, calling your town "awful" and warning against walking around with your wallet on you?

Buuuut, maybe old Mullet Man was right... Security has had to be beefed up at Gate D of the Meadowlands, incidentally, located in Jersey. It has something to do with women be petitioned (if we're putting it nicely) to show their ta tas. Who woulda thunk it? Drunk Jets fans like boobs. Novel idea.

Time Waster of the Week:

I'm willing to bet that none of you can take down all of these frat guys in beer pong... On hard... Don't try me with that easy crap... Man Up!

Random YouTube of the Week:

I'm not a fan of Usher, but this performance in Movies Rock was pretty spot on... Thanks to Sooze for the tip.



Muzak of the Week:

Wyclef Jean -- Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant

I'm a huge Paul Simon fan, and thusly strongly suggest you take a listen to "Fast Car."

You can listen to the entire album here.






Public Service Announcement:


I'm not sure about any of you, but I cannot, I repeat cannot go without the Office. If you're starting to experience withdrawals from a particular show go here to send an email to the execs in charge at the studio. It's easy. Do it. And that's an order.

That's all this week... Happy Christmahanakwanzaka!

STUPID SPORTS SH!T: BAD WEATHER

by Chris Richardson, Intentional Foul

What's the good word folks? In KC, it's ice... or ice storm depending on your vocabulary.

Anyway, this is what I'm up against tonight, so forgive if it goes astray (But when I woke up this mornin', coulda sworn it was judgment day)... and yes, you read that correctly. I did just use some Prince lyrics in my post.

Here's the vid if you wanna see it.

As I said, there's some bad weather on the way and I'm going to hurry a little bit with my post:



See what I mean? Anyway, on to some stupid sh!t.

ESPN Poll Department Sucks
I'm sure you've seen the posts about ESPN's poll question where they list an injury to one of Kevin Garnett's knees as one of the selections, a pretty sh!tty indictment of a company who tries to stand for the Disney hyperbole they preach. Well now, the WWL has of course apologized, especially when they got wind of Garnett's reaction -- and rightfully so.

Wishing injury on an athlete, especially for ESPN, is considered one of the sports taboos and they just stepped all over it in order to promote some Boston-area animosity. Anyone else see the irony here? Boston is one of ESPN's golden markets and they push it as much as they do the SEC in college football. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Of course, the same is true for KG, who has long been an ESPN supporter, as evidenced right here:



Nicely done ESPN. I'm sure you've fired some Page 2 n00bs and whatnot because of the poll question, but your quality control and review methods needs some addressing.

I think this little display of genius can be called REALLY Stupid Sports Sh!t.

Fledgling Mohawk gets HS Soccer Player Cut
Not much I can really say about this. It's on par with the cheerleader/underwear debacle from a few weeks ago. WTF is wrong with this country? Does every freaking special interest and concern HAVE to be catered to?



It wasn't even really a Mohawk either... *le sigh* Hat-tip to WithLeather via The Offside.

Alright Carnies, that's it for today. I hope the hell I don't get iced in tonight (which, of course, will be last night by the time you read this) but if I do, at least I'll have the Carnival to keep me company.

Until later. Enjoy the week.

FROM THE GREAT WHITE NORTH: THE RIC FLAIR RULE

by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks

"To be the man, first, you've got to beat the man... WOOOOOOOOO!"

"The Nature Boy" has uttered those words more times than I can remember over the course of his illustrious career. Now it's time to apply that logic to the 2007/2008 NBA Season.

The San Antonio Spurs, as boring as they are led by "The Big Fundamental" himself, are the defending champs. Until someone else is holding up that trophy at the end of the year, they deserve your utmost respect.

My Burning NBA Question is this: How does three guys who have never won anything individually joining forces signal a sure-fire Eastern Conference title and trip to The Finals for the Celtics?

I love KG - dude plays the game the way I would like to think I would play the game if I wasn't 5'10, white and in possession of a 7" vertical. But honestly, a couple things to keep in mind:

  • There is only one ball for KG, P-Double and Jesus to shoot... and they all like their shots
  • Rajon Rondo is actually the key to all of this... doesn't that worry you?
  • Brian Scalabrine may get mistaken for Michael Rappaport, but he will never be mistaken for a top flight NBA talent. The rest of the bench is full of question marks too.
  • Doc Rivers is still the coach of this team...
I know the legions of Celtics fans and KG die-hards are going to say that none of these cats ever had anyone of substance playing with them, but that didn't stop King James from tossing the Cavs on his back and marching to The Big Dance last year.

And KG had talent around him in Minnesota, for that brief period where Spree and Sam I Am ran the court with him. Saying, "Well, they ran into the Shaq & Kobe Lakers" doesn't excuse the fact that KG hasn't made it to the summit yet. There is always going to be that other team.

As for Pierce, something tells me that he won't really enjoy playing third fiddle in this show, because KG is #1 and Mr. Shuttlesworth running off screens and bombing triples will be Option #2. All the "I only wanna win a championship" talk is nice until you don't get the pill enough times... then you want your shots too.

Speaking of Jesus, how are them ankles Ray? Everyone in Beantown better hope they're like Kanye - harder, faster, better, stronger - because behind him is Tony Allen and he likes to blow his ACL trying to dunk after the whistle.



* * * * * *

So yeah, I'm the new guy and the foreigner around here.

The name is E. Spencer Kyte, but ESKimo is easier to remember and actually quite appropriate seeing as I hail from The Great White North known as Canada. Lemme clear up a few things first:

* It's not a frozen wasteland up here and very few of us travel by dogsled
* None of us, I repeat, none of us say "Aboot"
* Thanks for taking Celine Dion off our hands; it's much appreciated

Now that that's out of the way, you can get more info on me here and here.

Look Mom, I'm a Carny!

THIS IS ME LETTING GO

by Sooze, Babes Love Baseball

In the sophic words of Joan Jett, "I hate myself for loving you."

During The Big Three's debut Friday night, Kevin Garnett shone brightly in his new, fancier home, putting up 22 points and 20 boards for the Boston Celtics in their 103-83 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Before this offseason, when my favorite player was traded away from my favorite team, I spent nearly half of my life watching my first love dominate the floor... mostly in the agony of defeat with the Minnesota Timberwolves stacked evenly atop his broad shoulders.

Now, with a new veteran leader on a young and inexperienced Wolves team, it's time for me to let go and begin a nice, healthy rebound relationship.

It's been real, KG.

THE NICKELODEON: GARNETT, ALLEN & PIERCE GET JIGGY

Ever wonder what goes on at those photo shoots for the cover of ESPN the Magazine? Of course you do. I know this because I must wonder it at least 16 or 17 times a day. That is, when I am not thinking of Strawberry Jell-o ... mmm, Jell-o.

Well, now your questions have been answered. It appears that the photo subjects do a lot of dancing mostly. And the photog is also kinda hawt (I think).

Go Celtics! Go Celtics! It's yer birfday! ... after the jump.

Scalabrine Has a New Bf

by , SimonOnSports

Figured I'd give myself a brief introduction this being my first post at EC. Typically at my site I mix a blend of humor, analysis, predictions, sarcasm, hate and of course the lazy blogger video post. Since most of that stuff is already being covered by other contributors I'm going to bring pretty much straight hate.

Last week must have been hard for one Brian Scalabrine. See three years ago Scalabrine signed a three year 15 million dollar contract to become the token redhead on the Celtics, in addition to being one of the most overpaid useless players in the NBA. Back in 2005 though there was relief for Scalabrine, see no matter how badly he sucked, the fact that the Celtics were irrelevant in Boston and were on verge of a poor season took complete notice off of the redheaded goof. In addition Scalabrine was teamed with two other terrible white players in Raef Lafrentz and Dan Dickau so it couldn't even be brought up that he was the lone white loser on the team.

Now zip forward to 2006 and the Celtics are even worse and while for Scalabrine's sake the Celtics sadly traded away Raef's suckitude at least Wally World was there to be injured the entire season. Yet again the Celtics ineptitude and an additional white scape goat kept the spotlight off of the 6-9 235 pound red-headed sloth despite the fact that he was on the court 19 minutes a game.

Then at the start of the summer everything started to go downhill for Wally. With the draft day trade for Ray Allen, Scals found himself as the loan white player on the roster. He couldn't even claim mystery raced Delonte West as a teammate anymore. He would be the loan white loser on mediocre and slightly relevant roster. Ouch.

And last week was the beginning of a nightmare for Scals. The Celtics were the talk of the town. With KG, Ray Ray and Pierce they could win the east. Now everyone was going to watch Celtics games, now everyone would know just how badly Brian Scalabrine sucked. At this point he had to do something, he had to somehow make his terrible play slip under the radar yet again. It was time to get Danny to toke the same magic sauce that landed him a 15 million dollar contract. Who could he possibly turn to, who could be a more horrendous and useless white player on their roster. Scals knew the answer and smoked up Danny this weekend, and today Scott Pollard is your newest and worst white member of the Boston Celtics in addition to being Boston's newest Pro Drug sponsor.

The NBA's 07-08 Schedule Is Out

by BOHChris, The Blog of Hilarity

The NBA released the schedule for next season on Thursday, highlighted by match-ups involving teams of tall gentlemen playing a game invented by a Canadian. But which games should you etch into your calendar because, frankly, you have nothing better to do in August than plan which regular season basketball games to watch?

Oct. 30: Portland at San Antonio
I wish the Blazers hadn't traded Zach Randolph. Then we could have gotten a commercial like the one Tim Duncan and David Robinson had with "The gnomes are out of bounds," only it would have involved Greg Oden having to fetch Randolph his "druggin' pipe" and some fried Oreos and the tagline "Marijuana Kills."

Nov. 8: Dallas at Golden State
If the Warriors win this match-up, I eagerly await Mark Cuban stumbling onto the court like Shooter in Hoosiers, liquored up and waving around a lawsuit against Don Nelson for knowing the Mavs' secrets. Their secret: Dirk Nowitzki can't handle you tweaking his nipples before a game. The more you know.

Nov. 9: Memphis at Portland
Finally, Greg Oden and Mike Conley Jr. can reunite for a sexual romp of basketball unseen since Omar Epps and that chick in Love and Basketball.

Nov. 30: Los Angeles Lakers at Utah
Derek Fisher will show his appreciation to Jazz allowing him out of his contract by allowing his fully recovered infant daughter to become Jerry Sloan's 2nd wife.

Dec. 25: Three games
LeBron and DWade battle it out to see whose team is more useless, the Lakers and Suns shoot a lot until the Lakers ultimately lose, and Durant and Oden face off for the first time. I will watch that entire game with NFL Films music in the background to give it the truly epic backdrop it deserves.

Jan 17: Cleveland at San Antonio
"Ahh, I finally have erased the memory of the 2007 NBA Finals from my mind. How glorious, I'm ready to embrace basketball all over agai...OH GOD FLASHBACKS TIM DUNCAN AYYYY OH NO DAMON JONES AHHHHHH *seize and die"

Feb. 8: Boston at Minnesota
I imagine that for Kevin Garnett this will be like seeing an ex who hasn't quite recovered from you leaving. You feel great because, hey, you totally wrecked their life. Then you realize they're in Minnesota and realize that maybe this is a bit too much to throw on them.

Feb. 21: Seattle at Portland
This is on the trade deadline. This is only a significant game again because Kevin Durant and Oden will both be traded for second round picks this night upon the Sonics and Blazers realizing what colossal errors they've made. Being a basketball GM is difficult.

March 19: Denver at Philadelphia
Allen Iverson's first return to Philly. Philadelphia fans are traditionally known for their warm welcomes and easy going demeanors, so this should be a pleasant experience for all.

April 1: Boston at Chicago
The Bulls may not have gotten Garnett, but they do have a plan to neutralize him. Tune in to see Joakim Noah wearing a slinky cocktail dress and lipstick as he lures Kevin Garnett into a closet, then locks him in for the entire game. Scott Skiles: Master gameplanner.

April 9: Phoenix at San Antonio
"FOUL," yells Tim Donaghy from a jail cell. No, he isn't watching the game or even having a flashback. Rather, Donaghy is being sodomized by a distance cousin of Raja Bell while serving a stint in Rikers. Perhaps now he'll learn the value of sportsmanship.

April 16: Detroit at Cleveland
What better way to remind yourself of the upcoming abysmal 2008 Playoffs than a battle of the East's most depressing squads. It's FANtastic!

Throwing Knives: Trade Deadline, KG, Daunte Signs!

by BD, Sports Show On Mute

Well it's Wednesday here in the house that Doug built and many a thing was finalized yesterday. From KG overshadowing the MLB's trade deadline to the few deals that went down at the deadline. I'm talking Gagne, Teixiera, and Dotel on the positive side of that fence. While the Yanks got Wilson Betemit as the potential successor to A-Rod at 3rd. Surely no one will even notice the difference next season. It's about time I quit rambling and get to the Knives though. So, give Heidi Klum a look and then join me below.

Culpepper Finally Signs Somewhere
Yesterday Daunte Culpepper finally signed a contract. It's a one year deal that will put him in Randy Moss' former stomping grounds, Oakland. This is a solid move for both parties as you've got to figure Culpepper is a better mid season insurance plan than Andrew Walter is. Though I think he's past his prime and without a Moss like WR who can go get anything within ten yards of him, Culpepper will struggle. But, Culpep
