Woe. There is no hype. There is anti-hype.
I’m not really going to talk about the Rockets game. There are plenty of other places you can take part in the meltdown. I’m not going to complain about the officiating because, while it was bad, it was so not the reason we lost that there isn’t any point. I was gonna have Pose write you some sad haikus, but unfortunately he and I aren’t speaking right now.
Anyhow, I just wanted to give you the heads up on some upcoming stuff:
1. NBA.com just unveiled its 2009 NBA Dance Team bracket. The Honeybees are up against the Lakers Girls, and amazingly, the picture they chose to represent the team is way better than the Lakers’ one. I think they might have a chance…. So, OK. I didn’t think anyone really paid attention to this stuff. Come to find out, mW takes it quite seriously. He even visits the team’s website to peruse the girls. But only, he informs me, in the case of tiebreakers…
……………… right.
2. Inspired by the NBA Dance Team bracket, I’ve decided to roll out the First Annual NBA Hot Baller bracket. Yes! I’ll probably be starting Thursday or Friday. That means all of you who are dudes can just scroll on by and roll your eyes, while all 5 of us female basketball fans vote for the hottest team in the NBA! I don’t think I’m going to bother with actual seeding based on looks, because that would be highly subjective. I’ll do the matchups based on actual team seedings as of tomorrow. And then, you know, let things play out where they fall. Also, in most cases it’s not going to be only one guy per team. Teams will be represented by their very best. Sorta like the dance team bracket, where you put your three best-looking girls in the front of the photo while hiding the unfortunate-looking ones in the back…
3. Thursday night is Casino Night, which is basically a season ticketholder event where you can mingle with the players… Well, or they’ll deal you a game of blackjack or something. There are prizes and food, and we’ll be there hopefully taking pictures, which we’ll post up. It was fun last year, but we got there a little too late to see some of the players, like Chris Paul, who put in his appearance early. I coulda met David West… we were like two ships passing in the night– OK, lurking by the buffet table– but he kinda looked like he wanted to stay incognito.
I’m out like the Hornets’ fourth-quarter offense…
Brooding
The pics they chose for the Thunder dancers were…unfortunate.
I saw it too. Or maybe it was their outfits that were unfortunate.
So, is Boston going to get stuck with Paul Pierce as team rep because of your odd PP fetish, cause that’s not really fair to them. If there’s 3 or more people voting, he’ll lose.
HA. I’m not including him.
Actually the Celtics are fielding a pretty weak team for this tournament. I don’t expect them to get past the first round.
TT6, someone in a position CHOSE those 3 pics. I strongly suspect they were at random.
Please add ‘of authority’ after ‘position’
76% in favor of the Thunder? You GOTTA be kidding me!
I bet their fans are just so excited to have an NBA team that this is ALL they’re doing ALL day. ‘Cause there is a blatant fat chick in the cover picture.
TT6, having a fat chick isnt a problem -unto itself-. Having a bad pic that brings the eyes to the fact that there is a fat chick is a problem, which goes back to the selection process of the pictures.
You want bad, check out the Jazz pics. Ive got better pics of the honeybees than that.
“having a fat chick isnt a problem -unto itself-. Having a bad pic that brings the eyes to the fact that there is a fat chick is a problem”
YES. That.
It only took one trip to Hooter’s to get from self proclaimed feminist to “Cause there is a blatant fat chick in the cover picture.”
Can somebody please get TT6 a copy of “The Second Sex” please, she seems to have lost her way.
BTW, have you decided who to to put on the Hornets Hot Baller team along side Ryan Bowen.
OBTW, I don’t know if I pointed it out before, or if it was obvious, I’m also montaignejns from twitter. Just in case you were wondering if there were two people pushing for Ryan Bowen to rep the Hornets.
You missed the important part of that equation. It took one trip to Hooters with James Posey 10 ft from her for an hour.
JNS- I’ve read it. You didn’t know cheerleaders were exempted from feminism? Hey, they put themselves out there in a little outfit. I guess my thing is the nature of the contest is pretty shallow– so why you would not carefully police the pictures to make sure everyone looks GOOD is beyond me. (I’m kidding about being exempted from feminism. No one should be. But should they be exempted from aesthetics?)
Sadly, I don’t think Ryan Bowen is gonna make the team.
MAtt S-S, there is the more fundamental question as to weather TT6 actually exist. There was the photo of “TT6″ and Posey that was posted here, then yesterday “TT6″ posted a photo of “herself” on twitter, that was an entirely different person. So I looked back in twit pics and there was a third photo of “TT6″ @ mardigras which was a third entirely different person, or one of the first two people drunk and with different hair and big beads. Oh yeah, and none of them look like the woman in the about photo who doesn’t look like the person from the old about photo. So the question is is TT6 just mW_ writing under a different name?
TT6- J/K, you probably exist. You read the second sex, really? I bought it because I liked “The Ethics of Ambiguity” & I figured she had to be pretty cool having hooked up with Sartre for all those years, but I didn’t read the whole thing, I got distracted after a few essays (or were they chapters?) I kept the book on my shelf in hope that it might impress the kind of woman who would prefer Ryan Bowen to Tyson Chandler, just in case that sort of woman exist.
One last thing in Ryan’s favor, other than his natural good looks, he’s a blogger too: http://web.mac.com/rybo40/RyaninIsrael/Blog/Blog.html and a mac user. Does Posey use a mac? just sayin.
@sisyphusjns,
There is no proof any of the ‘people’ who claim to post on this site actually exist. We could all be monkeys at a keyboard. But what fun would that be?
At the bottom of the About page, there is a picture of me AND mW in the same photo. Or, well, maybe it’s just another girl who might or might not look like one of the other 6 women who might or might not be me………….
