Playoff Bracket Update; The Spurs Fall

In honor of D-How getting bent over and suspended for Game 6 vs. Philly......here's a Nextian Bracket Update:

The idea of someone perfectly predicting the entire NBA Playoffs has been destroyed. While 4 Nextians had the foresight and gall to call the 6th Ranked Mavs over the 3rd Ranked Spurs, nobody went so far or was so bold to say that the Mavs would take those old, injured assholes down in 5 games. Toomie and Matt aced the Lakers and Cavs and have one lowly minus point for picking the Mavs series to end 4-2. Congratulations, bitches. Now if only the 76ers can win the next two games and beat the Magic, Straino can get his ass back in this thang:

14 Points: Toomie, Matt
13 Points: Ryan, Scott Snider
11 Points: Pablo
10 Points: Nate, Cam
9 Points: Bilbo, Fed, Nikki, Todd BK
8 Points: Straino

Kobe's Relentless Self Promotion

This day long "documentary on Kobe's REAL life" looks like it was written, acted in, and edited by Kobe Bean Bryant. Contrived as fuck? Fuck yeah. Even the "Daddy For MVP" signs were probably made by Kobe earlier that morning (and I'm pretty sure I commented on those same signs nearly a one year ago).

CHECK IT

But is Kobe so good that he can actually contrive how he plays during the game? Did he try extra hard that day to look like a really good teammate in the locker room and on the bench? If only Lamar Odom was my buddy and I could ask him. Then my life would finally be complete.

Nextians Playoff Challenge of Next: Rankings

Hello Nextians and Friends. The playoffs are off to a super sweet start and sure have been exciting. Rondo v Rose is going to be an awesome rivalry for years to come. The Denver Nuggets now know how to play some pretty kick ass defense. The Spurs are super old even though Parker is amazing. So many things we have learned and we're not even close to finishing the 40 games in 40 nights!

With the Cavs sweeping the Pistons yesterday a points update is due. Now 13/13 people smartly picked the Cavs to beat the Pistons in either a 4-0 sweep or a 4-1 "too much respect for the old assed Pistons". Therefore we currently have a giant tie for 1st and another huge tie for 9th:

4-0 Cavs = 5 full points:
Ryan, Matt, Nate, BK, Scott Snider, Toomie, Tullis, Cam (me)

4-1 Cavs = 4 points (5 for the correct 1st round pick, minus one for the incorrect choice):
Nikki, Bilbo, Fed, Straino, Pablo

More to come later this week as all 1st round matchups will be complete.

Cavs Playoff Commercial

Let's give a shout out to our first first round playoff winner- The Cavaliers from the beautiful city of Cleveland:



Anything with Delonte West being himself is something that I need to watch over and over again. What an interesting individual.

More Blazers "Rap"

A few months back I posted a youtube of some old TrailBalzers promo rap music. This one appears not to be as old but is still funny as hell. Bust a bucket Dan Reed, whoever the heck you are. Enjoy your "front row seat". Douche:



Wait, Dan Reed's not technically a Douche, per se, but simply a gay rights guy. Sadly, this rap is as big as he ever got:

"More Than A Game" Trailer

October 2nd 2009 drops a limited release documentary following Lebron James' basketball team from when they were in 5th grade through the National Championship as Seniors in High School. I didn't actually know that High School Hoops had a National Championship but I'm sure we'll learn everything we needed to know after watching this.
