Before you say anything...it's Purdue related


This time of year helps keep my home in good shape. Right now, in fact, I'm stripping wallpaper off of my kitchen walls- a job that was long over-due. That said, I still have time to listen to NBA games in the background while updating the house.

Here's what I learned last night: NBA officials love the Celtics.

As if you had any doubt.

The did the right thing and made a foul call when the unlikeable, over-rated Rajon Rondo landed a full-swing smack on Brad Miller across the face while "attempting" to defend Miller. Problem was he was no where near the ball and was making no play on the ball.

I looked up the NBA's flagrant foul rule, and it's written so vaguely that it's completely subjective...and the officials can look the other way in occurrences like this and be unjust in the process. This is yet another case where college basketball has it right; but you already know my thoughts on the NBA.

But regardless of the verbiage of the rule, the crappy, crooked NBA officials had a chance to make the right call, and even with minutes to make their decision (due to Miller receiving medical treatment) they did not do it.

The C's move up to 3-2 in what has been a very good series.

I really don't care who wins, but I know Rajon Rondo and Joakim Noah are both in the same category in my mind...and would like neither to get a chance at an NBA championship this season. Sadly, one has to advance a step closer to that goal.

Rondo is a punk, and Noah is ugly as hell and obnoxious, so I agree with your statement. Miller has always been a crybaby in my book, back to his days under Keady, but he did get mauled on that play. I mainly want to Bulls to win because I have no respect for any Boston area team. It's hard to say that, too, because I was a big Pacers fan during the Reggie Miller pre-brawl times.

Right on all counts...but he didn't whine his way to a stitched lip and lost tooth last night; brutal.

Noah is a good guy. A friend of mine is friends with Brad Miller. Brad says Noah is a good guy and a good teammate. I couldn't stand his antics while at Florida, but I've softened on him. I hate Paul Pierce. The NBA is rigged. Its going to be Kobe vs LeBron in the finals.

Matt is writing like Larry King talks.

And who says it has to be Purdue-related?

And I thought Tim was the kitchen remodeler here?

GO C's, great game...and only a flagrant fowl on the slow motion replay, at game speed you couldn't even tell anything happened...he was Rondo'd bitches!

It doesn't have to be Purdue-related...but some of the Nancies who visit the site complained about the NBA posts we've made recently.

While I disdain the league, what else is there to talk about right now?

The Yankees?

We could talk about your mom.

Purdue Matt said...

We could talk about Sandi Marcius. Thoughts?

LOL @ not being able to see at game speed... I could see his lay-up go 2 feet to the left and his head spin around. I think that justifies "something."

Short one scholarship two years from now - hmmnn. Time to start sowing vicious rumors. Maybe somebody's going to the NBA (hope not) or somebody's getting cut - Lewjack???
