Screw the NBA finals. Here’s the real competition. Following the filming of the TV spot for “Zohan” Baron Davis challenged Mr. Sandler to a staring contest. Peep.
Ok, now that you know who delivered the beat down, perhaps you can help me figure out why Baron stole Patrick Swayze’s hair piece.
Gd.
Yes, it is true. We are trying to make every conceivable angle on the NBA finals all about the Warriors. So with that in mind, here is Baron’s ESPN interview with Kobe for focused on what it takes to win a championship. I think Sunday will be telling.
Enjoy, Gd.
Now, see another bearded interviewer talk with another baller on going to the “next level”. Read More »
We’ve always thought Don Nelson looked a bit like Ken Howard from “The White Shadow.” Give or take 50 pounds, a light beer and a few Cuban cigars.
Our friends at GSoM picked up on this post by the Press Democrat confirming his intent to return. Beyond the good news for the Dubs, Lowell Cohn provided a fun article. It included some nice insights about Don’s state of mind and a little window into his life in Maui. Certainly worth a read.
So, now that White Shadow is coming back, what about the Dizz?
This was Don’s take:
“Of course, he’s coming back,” Nelson said.
“Why?”
“He has one year left at $17 million. That’ll do it.”
Makes sense to me.

Do you ever get annoyed when someone starts a conversation like this,”If I was Chris Mullin the first thing I’d do is…”
Well, why should I be any different. So, here’s my unsolicited 2 cents regarding some of the off-season moves I think the Dubs should make.
1) Lock up Boom Dizzle (FOR THE REST OF HIS DAMN CAREER!!!)
2) Give the young pups (Monte and Andris) legit veteran contracts
3) Trade 10 basketballs, a case of talcum powder , 5 It’s-It’s, and an Extra Large Milano Roastano Round Table Pizza for Jason Maxiell. It’s not unprecedented.
4) Give B. Wright an I.V. filled with pulled pork BBQ (He is from Tennessee. And Yes Turman, that is a Warriors need to bulk up comment)
5) CHANGE THE DAMN LOGO!!!!
FTBers let me hear it. If you had carte blanche what would you do???

It looks like Hillary and Barak may end up splitting Indiana and North Carolina. Kinda’ the way they’ve been splitting the Democratic votes for months. But why must it be only one?
Now, I’ve been on board with Mr. Obama from the beginning, but I think it may be time to start thinking about how we unite this party. Divided we fall, and all that. So, would we consider the “super ticket”? The Dream Team. For you ice cream lovers, the “chocolate-vanilla swirl” (always a crowd pleaser).
Of course, this kind of mash-up is nothing new in Berkeley. It’s a source of great pride in fact. But, for this country, that would be some real change right thar.
Don? Baron? Who’s with me?
Gd.
Update:
With Obama’s gains last night (dominating in N. Carolina, while Clinton eked out Indiana), Obama should take top billing. If such a combination was considered. As intriguing as it may be, Hillary as VP seems very unlikely to me.
Well Boys & Girls, it’s that time again. That’s right…..NBA Draft predictions time. I’ve been involved in numerous pre-pre-draft conversations regarding the Dubs and I personally think it’s abundantly clear what we need to accomplish in this draft. Can you say ‘low-post player’ boys and girls. That’s right…..the Dubs are in desperate need of a 4 and/or 5. We needs rebounds, we need blocked shots and we need an offensive threat in the post. So, I was doing a little research and wanted to provide my fellow FTBers with the who’s who in available draftees. As most of you know the draft order has not been determined, but you can never start talking draft too early.
At the Center position we have:
Kevin Love 6-10/250, UCLA
Roy Hibbert 7-2/278, Georgetown
Jason Thompson 6-11/25, Rider
Joey Dorsey 6-9/260, Memphis
At the Power Forward position we have:
Michael Beasley 6-9/235, Kansas State
Tyler Hansbrough 6-9/245, North Carolina
Brook Lopez 7-0/240, Palo Alto Community College
Luke Harangody 6-8/250, Notre Dame
D.J. White 6-9/251, Indiana
Let the banter begin!!!

Well, according to CBS Denver 4, Carmelo was arrested this morning for driving under the influence.
Police said Anthony was driving south on Interstate 25 near 20th Street at about 4 a.m. when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Investigators said he was driving a silver Mercedes that was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim lights.
Really?! Come on. You just beat the Yao-less and coasting Houston team. I see no rings on them fingers of yours.
Other then Melo’s endorsement of Boom Dizzle as an All-star, what a dumb-ass.
I hope the Dubs are taking note, and then take care of business in Phoenix and Seattle. Meanwhile, we might just see Camelo stumble around in a horribly embarrassing and season-ending loss to the Memphis Grizz.

The game of the season. The chance for greatness. The playoffs. This, my friends, is where bearding up has to happen. Do it for the hardcore fans like the GSoM crew. Do it for the ladies. Do it for the kids. Do it for Obama. Do it for yourself. Or even do it for JE Skeets who threw us some crazy, big-time Yahoo Sports-type juice from over at his bully pulpit on high. But mostly, beard up because now is the moment of truth. If you lack the whiskerpower, click the link and download the innovative PaperBeard™. Follow the simple instructions and commence with the intimidation. We are all Warriors.
In bearded victory,
Turman
That would totally be a sweet super power to have. I think he already has it. See how coy he is when he says he’d “like” to be able to see the future? That’s because he’s being a shade tree and trying to keep us from knowing the truth. Stephen Jackson can see the future.
Argue a missed call, or hustle back on D? Well if you know that Mike Miller is going to be open off that screen anyway, the answer is easy. Argue the call! Stack’s totally already knowing what is about to go down. And I finally get it. I didn’t understand it before. He’s conserving energy and lobbying for calls that are still, like, in the future and shit. Brilliant.
Turman
PS. Jacks. I got jokes, man! It’s been a tough couple of games. Work it out. The Dubs need you down the stretch like never before. The team goes as you go, so it’s totally cool that you already know what to do. Get your X-man on. The keys to victory are in your capable hands.
Well, with all this buzz of the 3-way tie the Western Conference it’s easy to lose sight of a 3-way race of, dare I say, even greater significance. McCain, Hillary and our man, Obama.
In a MTV Friday News exclusive (now picked up by the likes of CNN) it seems that 50 Cent may have grown some whiskers and is now “considering” backing Obama over Hillary. But still, 50 is confused.
Even with his new recognition, it still does not excuse that Bat Mitzvah gig. And, on mine, Kanye West’s album wins hands down.
Gd.
Um, perhaps I should have held this post for “Hater Tuesdays”.
