9:33pm The NBA Cares just came on...there's 2:44 left in the second. Peja just hit a three, and Tony Parker just missed a free throw. How can you not hit a free throw? The audience looks like they've got a semi-white out condition. I hate white outs. Look at it to the left from this picture I found online. Kind of an eye sore.
9:35pm Is it just me or does this telecast really grate on the ears? Reggie Miller still has that annoying squeaky quality that makes me want to head butt a toddler. I hate the damned "Day-yo" chant on the New Orleans PA. I keep waiting to hear the "day-yo-oh-oh"...and never mind the all important daylight coming and me wanna go home. What the hell does the Day-O song have to do with Hornets and/or New Orleans?
9:38pm Oh, earlier, when I was just watching, there was a popcorn spill delay, which may be the stupidest delay in the history of the NBA since the spilled Spike Lee tears incident of 2002.
9:39pm Halftime interview with Manu...it is so endearing how he keeps ending his sentences with the word "Principessa."
9:44pm Barkley just lost 30 grand on a who's gonna mess up first verbally to Kenny Smith. Enunciation is so hard for the round mound of soundbites.
9:53pm This just in, Charles Barkley is proud of Jon Lester's no-hitter. Great line..."It should count as half a no hitter because its the Kansas City Royals"...thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, Barkley's here all night!
9:54pm I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to superimpose Manu Ginobili's head on a picture "Life Is Beautiful." I don't know dick about Photoshop...so, here's a mysterious Manu head! Look at it, I can't even erase cleanly.
9:56pm What the crap is the music coming off of this break? It's the NBA...you should play a country-fied Bon Jovi-esque song? Where's the Lil' Bow Wow (and he dates himself by adding the Lil')?
9:57pm I wonder who's aged worse: Tim Duncan or David Robinson? Was Robinson also so slow and old? Maybe Duncan just looks slow, because he facial looks like a turtle.
10:02pm Connie Hawkins watch...shades of the Hawk! Reggie and Marvelous are speaking fondly of Connie Hawkins...segued into a House of Paine advert. These guys are pros. I love this game!
10:04pm There's just a sense of inevitability with the Spurs, and the Hornets seem to just know that they're meant to lose. Even the crowd looks forlorn. It's funny how each of the game 7s from the Celtics game and the Lakers game have been a bit anti-climactic, eh? So it seems with this game.
10:08pm Tim Duncan just spent 17 minutes in the paint, dribbling, dribbling, dribbling...and missing. ... Usually I change the channels during commercials, but since I don't want to miss a Barkley-ism, I can't, and then I get the Yao Ming Red Cross ad. Nice to support the earthquake victims, but Yao Ming's gravatis voice sounds bored...he looks like Mike Myers when he was partnered with a mad as hell Kanye West during the Katrina telethon. How prophetic was Kanye's rant? George Bush does hate black people, and how quickly we forgot New Orleans. Wow, that got heavy, back to the game.
10:13pm David West is officially cold. I wish NBA telecasts could somehow magically transform the visual style to the NBA Jams style. I'd like to see 1040 degree slams on each possession. Timmy just got his fourth foul and is making his angry terrapin face. 10 point Spurs lead. DMX is on the PA...promptly making David West lose his mind up in here, offensive foul.
10:23pm The key to the Spurs victory tonight is the double team that the Spurs are implementing on Chris Paul. Great team D by the Spurs.
10:26pm 15 point lead at the end of the third. I'm viewing the Mike Myers Kanye West SNL skit and messing around with FaceBook. Yup, I'm bored with the game.
10:29pm Hancock preview...looks good, but in a bad sense. I don't know, it could be Wild Wild West suckage which ends up being a bit interesting, or it could be cool but ultimately forgetable. If I hear that Zune commercial song one...more...time...I will eat a stick of butter.
10:30pm Byron Scott with half of his voice destroyed from yelling sounds really similar to Reggie Miller.
10:34pm Jannero...Pargo... is taking over the game!
10:36pm Could the Mini Cooper commercial where the Mini is the flipper of the pinball game could be the stupidest commercial from Europe, which puts it in the running for stupid commercial in the world.
10:39pm Airball from Tim Duncan. Is there anything that brings me such glee as a star basketball player shooting an airball? I remember one of the best was when MJ shot a brilliant looking turnaround in the fourth quarter in a game against the Lakers...a shot that when it went up, I thought it was the end of the Lakers existence due to the pure beauty of MJ's athleticism...and it was an air ball. I remember clapping, jumping up, with a shout of laugh. Yes, a visceral reaction from an airball.
10:41pm Manu should rent out commercial sponsorship to his bald spot...maybe he should paint his bald spot (one of the funniest phone calls to Larry King...my hair grows).
10:48pm Jannero...Pargo...is still shooting?
10:58pm Pargo just beat Bruce Bowen on a jump ball. Pargo is the new Deshawn Stevenson. Pargo hits the three...3 point game.
11:02pm Live by the Pargo, die by the Pargo. Game over.
That is all...
