Can the first round bring it?

"It's been a pretty physical series, and at that point in time I had caught another elbow in the jaw and I lost my head and overreacted to it, it could have cost my team and for that I'm sorry."


"That's how I grew up playing basketball in Philadelphia, I love playing that style. It excites me more than anything."
"We're kind of throwbacks to the '80s style of basketball, "It's something that belongs in the octagon, you probably don't know what that is, I can explain it if you want me to"
"He didn't like my toneage, if that's a word, he's the decider. Is that a word, decider?"

You know who else is a fan of the Octagon:

Great game. Too bad it took 3 hours to finish. Barkley kills me. I love that guy... and not just because he thinks the Suns still have a good chance of losing.

I actually just caught the final 20 minutes of this game....but really that's all you needed to see. Thursday night should be a throwdown Kobe Beef styel.....I feel a 40+ point performance coming after a Raja Noodle suspension is announced today.....

I don't think Mamba would make it vs. the Bad, Van Cleef always played a mean sumbitch...

I'm thinking we might need to gather for Mamba/Nasha VI...let me know if anyone is interested...

Raja shouldn't get suspended... but he will. The NBA game is getting pretty soft. I loved the hightened intensity and physical nature of the old-school NBA Playoffs. Now? Artest gets booted for an elbow! An ELBOW!?! Please.

Lodge NBA Gathering? Yes, I'm in. I'm also probably in for Wiffle Ball this week too. I'll call ya'll tomorrow when I figure out the car situation with the wife.

I would disagree about the suspension. I understand that it was one hard foul in a series of physical altercations....but come on! I would love to hear somebody rationalize that foul to me somehow. You want to foul a guy, then foul him....HARD. But, you do NOT put your arm around the guys neck and drag him to the floor. Elbow or no elbow...that's BS. I'll like physical play, but that's total frickin' garbage....what an absolute ASS.

Hopefully it won't affect game 6 too much, but you know the refs will come out and set the tone early tomorrow night....

When is Whiffle Ball this week?

It would have been even better if Raja had cost the Suns the game....that would've been sweet....then nobody would even care about "the foul".

Lets say tuesday. Do we want to Golf down at Tyee or just hit a driving range to warm up for golf season?

Blogger Train said...

I vote for a warm up range session.

Wed May 03, 10:13:00 AM PDT  
Blogger Jimbo said...

I'm down for the range on Tuesday...also, Whiffle is Friday this week for anyone that's interested, and either Train or I will host Thursday night's Mamba Strikes Back Party...and like most Lodge gatherings...Poker will be involved...

I'll be late for the lodge mamba party...got a school thing but I'll make an appearance. Friday wiffle ball I'm out...pops birthday so I'm celebrating with the fam...see you all on Thursday...

by the way, I'm glad someone stood up to Kobe... he is a little punk and perhaps that clothesline might take the lakers away from their game and have Kobe pop up 50 shots...time will tell!
