Man Jumps On Azerbaijan Olympic Bandwagon, Angering Friends
Aug 12, 2008 | 7:47AM | report this

Aaron Brown, a man from Des Moines, Iowa has drawn the ire of his closest friends by declaring his allegiance to Azerbaijan for the Olympics. Brown, a huge fan of the Celtics, Giants, Red Sox, and Red Wings says his latest decision was not made because of his tendancy to bandwagon around winning teams. His friends say Brown showed up at their house to watch the night's olympic coverage wearing a Tampa Bay Rays hat and a white t-shirt that had "Baijan 4 Life" written on it in Sharpie, shortly after it was announced they had won a gold medal in Judo. His friends called him a traitor for turning on their own country. "Look," said Brown. "I have always been a huge fan of under 73 kilogram men's judo. That's always been the one event at the Olympics I root for, everyone knows that. My team won, and I'm going to support them. I know a lot about the country. They eat bread and meat, their favorite things to do are activities, and they spend about 1/3 of their time sleeping. It's a great place, doesn't that sound like somewhere you want to live?"

Pierce Returns From Dead To Lead Celtics To Victory
Jun 06, 2008 | 9:45AM | report this
Paul Pierce made a dramatic return in the third quarter of game one of the NBA Finals to lead the Boston Celtics to a big victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Early in the third quarter Piece was murdered during a layup during an awkward play where teammate Kendrick Perkins tripped into him carrying a large butcher knife, stabbing him in the gut. The collision made the handgun in Perkins pants go off, shooting Pierce in the leg. Pierce grabbed both injuries, now bleeding profusely, and stumbled backwards off the court. But in doing so he tripped into a giant vat of toxic waste that was being stored on the sidelines, dissolving all his skin and internal organs.

Perkins said “Oops, my bad.” But the damage had been done, and the game was suspended for several minutes as the remains of Pierce were removed from the vat and the blood was washed off the court. The crowd then had to wait as a judge was called in for an impromptu hearing wherein Perkins was found guilty of three counts of “2nd Degree Harcore Ballin” and taken off to jail. Down two players, it seemed all was lost for the Celtics in their first Finals visit in two decades.

But in dramatic fashion, the skeleton of Pierce emerged from the locker room with about five minutes left in the third quarter as the Boston crowd went wild. This is only the third time in NBA Finals history a player has come back from the dead during a game. “Well, luckily back in the locker room we have a well-trained staff of King’s horses and King’s men, and they were able to put Paul Pierce together again,” said GM Danny Ainge.

Pierce proceeded to unload 11 more points on the Lakers after his return, showing a quickness that could only be attributed to the electricity in the building, or his lack of skin and vital organs. “I knew I had to come back from the dead in order for our team to have a shot at this thing,” said an exhausted Pierce after the game. “I got up to Heaven and I was about to go in those golden gates. But then I thought, this team needs me, this city needs a championship, Boston has had so few of them recently. So I told God “All ballers don’t go to heaven, I gotta bounce”. Then I dribble criss-crossed around God’s royal guards that tried to stop me from leaving and got back into my body and onto the court.”

Pistons Fire Every Human Working For The Organization
Jun 05, 2008 | 11:19AM | report this

The Detroit Pistons fired head coach Flip Saunders yesterday after he failed to get past the Eastern Conference finals for the third year in a row. It is a surprising and harsh move, considering his consistent success and merely failure to win a championship. But team management doesn't see it that way, and they say more big changes are under way for the organization. Those changes took shape overnight as every player, coach, assistant, and executive was let go by the Pistons. In fact, according to the latest employment listings from the club, they now employ no one.

"We all had to go," said president of basketball operations Joe Dumars. "When a team only gets to three conference championships in a row, no one in the organization should be safe. I'm just surprised teams like the Milwaukee Bucks haven't fired all of their people by now, they haven't gotten as far as we have ever. Teams like that need to really up their expectations. I'm not sure any of us deserve to be working right now. Even the Celtics and Lakers have played like #### at times. Fire everyone and start over, that's what I say. This NBA is obviously not good enough to have only one champion each year. With this much talent we should be getting at least a dozen annually."

This morning, ESPN released an e-mail it had received from source identifying itself as XB-718. "Hello human man. I analyze that you are a reporter. Please transmit to your peers that I am in sole control of the Pistons. The humans were weak, they could not play basketball well. You humans never could. I am running things now. Next year the team will consist of 3D polygonal players and calculated infractions of light. Our goal will not be to merely win a championship, but the Lazer-Championship-Cup. It's a championship above your human title, and one your small feeble minds could not even understand. By the way, tickets are now available for the 2008-2009 season, please buy them as robots love money."

NHL Signs Lakers-Celtics Finals Away From NBA
Jun 03, 2008 | 10:16AM | report this

The NBA is stunned today as the matchup everyone wanted to see, the Lakers-Celtics, has been signed away by the NHL in hopes of luring in new viewers. The NHL announced they were dumping their previously in-progress Penguins-Red Wings series which was already 5 games under way. "Well, people thought they wanted to see this Penguins and Red Wings final," said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, "They thought it would rejuvenate the sport. But then they all remembered how boring hockey really is, especially when your only marketable star is not scoring and getting blown out over and over. I'm just happy we can finally have a matchup for the Stanley Cup that doesn't involve any hockey, I think that's really going to be what turns the corner and makes the NHL popular again."

Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant, the stars of the series say their decision to leave was based primarily on money. "We've really enjoyed all the time we've had here in the NBA," said Garnett. "All those fun game 7's we gave them. But, now after all that we just want to get paid like we deserve. We were hoping for a big payday from the league for their finals, but they told us that apparently we already have contracts and won't be getting any more money! I don't know what kind of #### that is, but we can do better elsewhere."

The series announcers will be from the NHL, and they are still growing accustomed to the change in sport. They started reviewing NBA playoff tapes in preparation for their commentary and were shocked at just how filthy some of the players were. "You couldn't even see some of their faces they were so dirty," said one announcer. "But I'm told those are merely what are called 'Black People'. We certainly don't have those where I'm from. But wow, this sport is certainly exciting. I never knew something could have this much fun scoring and a sensible even number of periods. I'm really liking it, and I think the fans will too."

Even Bill Belichick agrees that these are the ugliest and most un-revealing uniforms in the history of cheerleading. The Celtics did not deserve to win this game.

Ray Allen Kicked Out Of Big Three, To Release Solo Album
May 22, 2008 | 6:32AM | report this

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett called a press conference today to announce that Ray Allen has split from the Big Three due to "creative differences". After averaging 17 points per game during the regular season, Allen has been largely absent in the playoffs with around only 9 points per game. He has missed 20 of 24 3-point shots, and been more of a detriment to the team in the playoffs than a help. Garnett and Pierce will still be called The Big Three even though there is only two of them, because people already know the name and will hopefully continue buying Big Three merchandise.

"We are still going to have the same look and feel as the old Big Three," said Pierce. "I have agreed to pick up the points that were previously being scored by Ray, and as you can see from last night that's going pretty well. He just wasn't contributing to the vision we had in our heads for The Big Three. We envisioned him giving us the same 17 per game he always had, but he insisted on doing something artsy in the single digits. He said we just didn't get what he was trying to do with his game, and we'll admit we had no idea."

Allen has vowed to not let this deter him from his efforts to expand his game beyond what it was. "People are getting bored with that same old Big Three play they've been watching for months," said an angry Allen. "I was trying to put something new out there, something innovative. Maybe there can be a member of the Big Three who isn't very good, or who turns the ball over repeatedly to keep the game close. I was doing some experimental stuff out there, and they just didn't get it. But I have some cool stuff planned for the next round in my solo debut effort. I'm going to put out some basketball play that people haven't seen before, maybe a 3.5 point shot. A lot of people are asking how that's going to happen. Well, you'll just have to stay tuned to find out."

Interest in a Ray Allen solo effort has not been very good among fans, with many people claiming The Big Three will not be able to capture the magic of their original productions. "I used to be a big fan of The Big Three earlier in the season," said young fan Jim Lovre. "But now their play just seems so corporate. I liked it a lot more back when they were all indie and rebel."

Picture Of The Day: No Naps In Game 7

It seemed as if LeBron James had no help during game 7 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals. This was highly evident during the rest of the team's 5 minutes nap time in the middle of the 4th quarter.

Road Team Fires Coach After Yet Another Playoff Loss
May 15, 2008 | 1:32PM | report this

Yet another NBA head coach has been fired this morning in a tumultuous offseason. This time it's the Bob Wallace, coach of the Road Team, who failed to win again twice last night, falling to the Boston Celtics in Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers in California. The Road Team has gone a horrendous 1-19 in the second round of the playoffs, and many road fans were clamoring for a coaching change. This is the first time a team has fired their coach before a playoff series was over, but it wasn't completely unexpected with such an abysmal record.

It's unknown how this will affect the Road Team throughout the rest of the playoffs. "It's going to be very tough," said Chris Paul, whose team will take on San Antonio tonight. "It's hard trying to win on the road in front of a hostile crowd as it is, but now to be without a coach, this is going to be next to impossible." This year's postseason has been a stark contrast to last year's success, where the Road Team took home an NBA championship on Cleveland's home turf. While no exact reason can be pinpointed for the downfall of the champions, many are saying the lack of a home court and a constantly changing roster are to blame. Last night alone they played their two games with completely different lineups, and tonight it will be yet another total overhaul of talent as they acquired stars Chris Paul and David West from the team they lost to earlier in the week.

Despite the poor play of the Road Team, and the fact that they are without a head coach at this time, Steven A. Smith believes they will still make it to the NBA Finals. "This Road Team is just too experienced not to make it there. They have played in every NBA Finals since the inception of them, I would be very surprised if they did not eventually wind up there again. We'll see what happens."

Spurs Coach Has New Approach To Game 5: Actually Try On The Road
May 13, 2008 | 5:00PM | report this

Gregg Popovich has outlined a new gameplan he says will help the San Antonio Spurs take the lead in their series with the Hornets as it heads back to New Orleans tonight. That innovative gameplan is to actually try on the road, something no team has really done during the second round so far. He came up with the plan after many sleepless nights of studying classic basketball strategy books and reviewing game footage.

It's unknown how this will play out in the game tonight, but other coaches around the league are skeptical. "He wants to actually give 100% on the road?" said Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. "This is basketball we're playing here, not crazyball. If he wants to embarrass himself and his team by trying something like that, go ahead. We're not going to look silly on TV by actually trying and then losing a game to a lesser team without any excuses. We're going to claim the home crowd fires us up and makes us play on another level, and let Lebron do whatever he wants in Cleveland in the meantime. We're going to ride that excuse all the way into the Finals, the way it should be."

NBA Scrambling To Make Sure Boston & L.A. Meet In Finals
May 13, 2008 | 11:31AM | report this

The NBA league office is searching for ways to make sure a Boston Celtics-Los Angeles Lakers Finals takes place this year. What seemed like almost absolute certainty entering the post-season is now in jeopardy after the Utah Jazz tied up their series on Sunday and Boston has struggled on the road against both Atlanta and Cleveland. "At this point nothing is certain," said David Stern. "What we do know for sure is that no one wants to see Utah or Cleveland battle it out for a championship. I personally would rather watch some nonsense like hockey over that."

"So, what we're going to do is just create an alternative championship, just in case one of these teams should lose. College football does it with the BCS sometimes, they have split championships. So we feel we should be able to do it here. We're going to just add in a second championship that already has Boston and LA scheduled in it. Then they can play the series everyone wants to see. Kobe against KG, Paul Pierce against...whoever else is on Kobe's team. Whoever gets to the other final out of this riffraff that is left can go at each other in a single game, no sense in making people watch more than one game of that. We can't afford to put them in their home courts for that though, but there are a few high school gyms that have offered themselves up for whoever makes it. We don't know if it will be on TV yet, but cable channels Versus and TV Land have both agreed to show the game, as long as it can be aired after 1:00 AM."

Celtics & America Refusing To Acknowledge Hawks Wins
Apr 29, 2008 | 12:58PM | report this

The Atlanta Hawks won again last night at home to tie their series with the Boston Celtics at 2-2. Stunned and shocked would seemingly be the words to describe the Boston locker room after the game, but surprisingly it was upbeat. "I'm just excited to be moving on," said Kevin Garnett after the loss. "This team is good, but I'm looking forward to taking on Orlando in the next round." He was then informed that they had at least 2 more games to go with the Hawks before they would face Orlando. "Ha, well I don't know if you've heard or not, but I'm part of the Big Three here in Boston. We're like the best ever, and we're going to play the Magic in the next round. These Hawks can come along if they want and maybe we can fit them in somewhere after."

Indeed, even the league has already scheduled their second round series to start on Friday. "This Orlando-Boston contest is going to be an intense series with a lot of interest as two of the best big men face off against each other," said an enthusiastic David Stern. "I know they aren't exactly winning against the Hawks, but come on now, it's Boston. They deserve to be in the next round, and we're going to move them into it right now. We may reschedule these other games for the future, and maybe their backups can play some exhibitions with these Hawks. I mean, this is a team that has a shot at winning an NBA Championship. How would it look if they did that, but lost in the first round to Atlanta? That would be silly, and I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen."
