And just like that, all the national goodwill Phoenix built up with the “Los Suns” jerseys completely evaporated.
Glen Davis is concussed. Kendrick Perkins is on the brink of suspension. Kevin Garnett is 34.
Brian Scalabrine? Brian Scalabrine is READY.

@Aamreisreal should change his name to @Amareisunreal. Best getup since Aaron Brooks. #NBAFashion
@Daniel_Artest ” Ron. Despite an awful game tonight. All is forgiven as he etched his name in Laker playoff lore. God bless u bro. ”
QUEENSBRIDGE Stand Up!
Was “Keep Derek Fisher from going on an individual 9-0 run” listed as one of Phoenix’s Keys To The Game?
Kendrick Perkins and his two “technicals” - Russian language feed!
The first one is justified - Perkins tried to sneakily elbow Gortat and got caught, though the call came due to Gortat’s reaction. Double technicals might have been excessive, but that’s a call referees make all the time in early, in hopes of reigning in chippiness and preventing fights down the road. The second one … I’m still not sure what happened.
That being said, when your team defines itself by constant trash talk and nonstop bitching to the officials, sometimes this kind of thing is going to happen. Glad Perk’s playing in Game 6, but maybe he should reign in the air punching and complaining next time he’s playing with one tech.
Rasheed Wallace wears a Philadelphia Flyers hat. Is this:
- bad news for a team about to blow a 3-0 lead?
- foreshadowing for all the subsequent concussions?
- a message to any Québécois who might be rooting for the Magic?
- grounds for a technical foul, according to Eddie Rush?

Sheed can’t believe someone on the Celtics got tossed for yapping at the refs, and it wasn’t him.

“Vince Carter Tries to Recycle a Plastic Bottle” - A short film I made in honor of Vinsanity and tonight’s crucial Game 5. I play Vince Carter.
After four games, Robin Lopez’s filthy, unkempt hair has battled Pau Gasol’s filthy, unkempt hair to a draw.

Jason Richardson goes into the crowd after a loose ball. Not pictured: Arizona Cardinals LB Joey Porter, who caught J-Rich when he landed in Porter’s lap. Former Steelers agree that Ben Roethlisberger probably would have let Richardson crash to the floor untouched.
After the game, J-Rich and Porter are gonna go out, have a few drinks, and beat the crap out of Levi Jones.

Marcin Gortat shows off the absolute upper limit of his vertical leap, as well as his insane Michael Jordan calf tattoo. Last year the tattoo jeopardized Gortat’s Reebok deal, which leads to the question, “Marcin Gortat had a Reebok deal?”

How did Orlando finally win a game against Boston? Was it Dwight Howard’s newfound toughness? Jameer Nelson’s three-point shooting? Or was it because Rasheed Wallace decided not to wear Air Force Ones for the first time since 1999? Sheed started the game wearing the Nike Zoom Sharkalaid, and the Celtics trailed by four points at the half. He switched back to Air Force Ones for the second half, but it was too little, too late.
In a crucial stretch of the third quarter, Stan Van Gundy ran out a lineup featuring THREE Caucasians. Unless Stan’s strategy is to take the crowd out of the game by forcing Boston fans to choose between their love of the Celtics and their love of racism, this might be a questionable move.
