Jarret Jack Throws Dorell Wright's Shoe Into Stands

The Dubs are playing great right now. After defeating Philly on 12/28 at The rOracle they now sit at 20-10. This is the first time they have 20 wins before the New Year since 1917. TRUTH.

Part of the reason for this great record to start the season has been the bench play from Carl Landry and Jarret Jack. Both of these guys get heavy minutes when it matters most and both have been starters before in The Association. There's a good argument that The Dubs have the best bench in the League and are currently right up there with the bench units of The Clippers, The Spurs and The Thunder (sitting starter Kendrick Perkins immediately makes The Thunder a better team, but I digress).

Jack and Landry are good because they are smart. So when Jarrett Jack notices that former Warrior Dorell Wright lost his shoe, he calmly picks up Dorell's shoe and tosses it into the stands.  Jack then gets the ball at the top of the key and nails a three pointer over the shoeless Dorell. Jarrett Jack then laughs for 30 seconds because he knows that what he did was smart and that it is not against the rules.

As a Warriors fan, you gotta love this stuff.

Warriors Fans Boo Lacob

This video of the Lacob Getting Boo'd Night from last year needs to be housed at the Nextians. Douche Chills when Rick Barry decides to scold the crowd. In my humble opinion this booing forced Bob Meyer's ascension as the public face of the front office. The crowd was pissed at Monta being traded for Bogut and for the the ownership being so pumped up to move to San Francisco. In case you didn't know, at least a third of all attendees of Warrior home games live in Oakland and probably about 60% live in the East Bay. The Warriors moving to SF makes it much harder, and more expensive, for these Warrior fans to make it to the game. It was around this time of the booing that Lacob and Crew decided to hide Bogut's micro-fracture surgery. They then forced him to play limited minutes early in this '12/'13 season to appease the fans/season ticket holders. We won't know for a while what these minutes did to Bogut's health.

The team is cruising right now at 16-8 off to their best start in about four decades. And I don't fault the moves that Lacob and Guber for putting together a culture and an office to get this start. And I thank them for not trying to get taxpayer money to fund their $500 million SF Stadium (man, these guys are rich). But Lacob needed to be put in place last March. NBA fans are smart. A lot smarter than users of autotrader.com and Invisalign are when him and his extremely smart and wealthy buddies of Kleiner Perkins.

Kent Bazemore: Best NBA Bench Celebrator

Here are some OG Nextian produced clips from the 3rd quarter of the Dubs home game victory over the Pacemakers. The person of focus is Kent Bazemore who is the most awesome bench celebrator in The Association today.













You think that the bench doesn't matter? Huh? Warriors have the best bench celebrator in the game and are easily the best team in the NBA this season. Coincidence? I think not!

Melo's 1st Quarter vs. Lakers 12/13/12

The Lakers currently play terrible defense but Melo still dominated the first quarter with 22 points. The Knicks look awesome with their "if you don't shoot an open 3 you're getting benched" -slash- "let's whip the ball around the perimeter like crazy because J-Kidd told us to and we want to abolish all ideas of Melo being a ball stopper" -slash- "we make more threes than we turn the ball over" game plan.  The Lakers just flat out suck as a team at the moment. And that obviously makes any Warriors fan very, very happy.

NBA Pacific Division 12/14/12 UPDATE!

Clips     16-6
DUBS   15-7
Lakers   9-14
Suns      8-15
Kings    7-14

Gregg Popovich Rap

In case you didn't know Israeli's love the NBA.  Hence a crew of 20-somethings get motivated enough to write, record and film a music video for this amazing hip hop song about Spur's head coach Gregg Popovich.

I've listened 17 times but still can't figure out what the old guy is saying during the chorus. My best guess is "he wants to win the game".  I also like the old guy's line near the end of the track the best. I'm pretty sure he spits:

"let Deron and LeBron and the rest of them play
Let them have some fun
Give them some slack
Cuz they know it going be long til the Popovich back"

OK, OK. He obviously meant to say "Because they know it ISN'T going to be long until the Popovich back". Back where you ask? The playoffs, you dummy. Or maybe the Finals. The Spurs did get stopped short of the Finals last year by a shifting of the Thunder defense to protect that paint after Game 2.  So I'm going with it isn't going to be long until THE Popovich gets back to the Finals.  Boom, there you go. Interpretation solved.

Iman Shumpert Knicks Rap

Shump has some good flow fo sho. It's all about the 16-5 KNICKS right now and their torrid 3 point shooting offense in case you haven't heard. So put on your orange arm band on and hop on the bandwagon!

This game is frigging epic. I'd advise watch any and all intros.

Get Luke Babbitt the Ball!

From the sounds of things the 12/3 Blazers at Hornets Bobcats game was a fun watch. The Bobcats are no longer the Bobkittens with a 7-9 record even though they have lost 4 straight.  Their three point shooting big man Byron "BJ" Mullens is getting in on the act and is now fierce like a wild cat:



Charlotte built a pretty good lead in the 4th quarter with a 26-5 rampage putting them up 17 points with five minutes left in the game.  Then Luke Babbitt went on a rampage.  The Blazer's little-used bench came through as they overcame one of the biggest deficits in basketball history (fact check!) and put the game into overtime on the 3/3 three point shooting of Babbitt.  In overtime Portland Head Coach Terry Stotts begged his team to get Luke Babbitt the ball:

Yes, that is what you do to defeat the Bobcats. You get Luke Babbitt the fucking ball! Reading about this stuff makes me wish I had more time and funds for NBA League Pass.  Man, I would be so worthless if I was single and rich!

New Orleans Pelicans

So the New Orleans Hornets may change their name to the Pelicans, ehe? Pelicans are pretty dang fierce:



So if New Orleans goes with the Pelicans then Michael Jordan will change the Charlotte Bobcats back to the Charlotte Hornets. The Utah Jazz will still be the Jazz and people in LA will continue to wonder where all the Lakes and Clipper Ships are.  Native Americans will protest the name "The Warriors" while somehow the NFL team in our nations' capital still gets away with being call "The Redskins". That's almost as bad as the "Columbus White Guys" which is the Cav's D-League team. Speaking of Washington the Wizards still must be the Wizards since "Washington Bullets" is just waaaay too offensive. Ever heard of the second amendment of the United States where we're allowed to own guys and shoot things and prevent tyranny? Bullets are awesome. But not as awesome as Magic who's Disney-asses took down the Warriors last night in laughable fashion all because David Lee sucks at defense and his team actually rebounds better when he's on the bench.

Douchey Laker Fans UPDATE

Say "Lakers" the sexiest way you can

The Porn King Douchey Laker Fan from THIS POST presents himself again. This time he stands near Steve Kerr (announcer) holding up a tacky as hell home made "World Peace" sign ironically screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs.
