Boats N Hoes! – NBA Style

David Carradine can’t die!

BANGKOK – Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series “Kung Fu” who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. A news report said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.

I’ll tell you right now this was suicide because NOBODY can kill David Carradine, not even Chuck Norris.

RIP, master

Kobe is a deutsche…and NASTY…and I could care less

 

I assume I’m in the majority on this when I say Kobe is a pompous ass. I also assume I’m in the majority when I say Kobe is one of the two best players in the league, if not the best (and in my opinion, he is better than LBJ-23 at this current point in time because he’s a better closer). So if the “best” player in the league is on the doorstep of winning his fourth NBA Championship ring, why do I find myself caring less about these finals? Granted, I’m a Boston C’s fan, but my hopes were realistically put in check with no KG and up until tonight’s finals matchup, I would have said these playoffs series were some of the best I can remember.

But with the Lakers now set to square-off with Orlando, I find myself rooting for the Magic, and that is only be default. There is zero likability in either one of these teams! Prior to the playoffs, I loved Dwight Howard, but after seeing him in a seven-game series against the C’s, I’ve come to realize that he can jump very high, AND THAT’S IT! The kid has no offensive game whatsoever, except of course for cleaning up junk rebounds with oh-so-scary power dunks. He’s absolutely terrible from 4 feet out and his free-throw shooting is disgusting…and this is a guy calling for the ball!?! I get that because of his size and muscle most teams decide to double-team him and then he can dish it out to his squad of three-point specialists, but that certainly doesn’t make Dwight an offensive powerhouse. Perhaps my biggest contention with him is that he is a giant crybaby who gets T’ed up constantly for bitching to the refs (maybe the only case he had was against Lebron on some cheap fouls – but he can expect more of that tonight with Kobe).

Either way, if you don’t like Kobe (90% of the nation) and you don’t like Dwight Howard (soon to be 90% of the nation), then why watch? Nobody else on either team has a personality, unless you like the homelessness factor of Pau Gasol or the straight up thuggery of Rashard Lewis. Andrew Bynum is cool is you like mouthy, immature teenagers comlpaining about not getting the ball enough. Better yet, Rafer Allston is good for entertaining…on the And 1 circuit.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just bitter, but I can’t find a reason to like either one of these teams and lord knows I’ve tried because I’m a fan of the game and want to see some good basketball. I’ll be rooting for Orlando, but that’s only because they have an overweight former Celtic in Tony “Batman” Battie and a recently-converted heterosexual in JJ Reddick. All my rooting will be for naught though as LA smokes Orlando’s ass in 5 – you heard it here first.

Didn’t we lose the Battle of Bunker Hill?

Well, I guess if I worked for the state this would be great news, but since I don’t…it’s shitty news. Last night the House Rep’s decided to keep two of the lamest holiday’s I have ever heard of…..Bunker Hill Day and Evacuation Day.

Boston– Backed to the wall by an angry electorate demanding change, the scandal-pocked House last night nevertheless narrowly voted to preserve a pair of controversial state holidays designed to give pols and public employees two extra Mondays off. -Boston Herald

I guess a tie vote doesn’t get you anywhere but screwed if your a regular taxpayer. The article continues

Boston– All schools, city and state offices are closed in Suffolk County for Bunker Hill Day on June 7 and Evacuation Day on March 17, which also happens to fall on St. Patrick’s Day. State employees also are allowed to take the days off or use them as floating holidays, which costs the state roughly $5 million, according to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Association.

$5 million?? Holy shit…all to commemorate a battle we didn’t win and the evacuation of British troops.  Now that I think about it though…it’s some very earned rest for a lot of these state employee’s……they’re working hard as a motherfucker…!

Old people scare the shit out of me.

 

So yet again, another senior plus  citizen  has lost control of thier automobile….

PLYMOUTH – It was supposed to be a solemn day. Scores of veterans and friends had gathered yesterday afternoon at a scenic overlook at Plymouth Harbor for a ceremony welcoming a traveling war memorial, when an elderly woman lost control of her minivan, jumped a curb, and plowed into the crowd.-Boston Globe

I’ll be honest, when I see granny pulling the old Cutlass out of a parking space I get the fuck outta the way. These people are a menace to society. Apparently this woman was pulling into a handicapped spot, hit a pot hole, got startled and plowed into a memorial proceeding. I understand that the elderly need to get around too and I’m not always the best driver; but you don’t see me shitting my Depends and jumping the curb whenever I hit a pot hole. Isn’t this like the 3rd incident this week? Old people can’t drive…and they smell funny.
