Bingo, Bango, Bongo.

I gotta give it to Bango here, putting his life on the line to bring some energy to the Bucks arena. He could single handedly be the reason why the Bucks take down the Hawks in the first round.

Props to Jeff for the tip.

Garnett Earns Suspension, Noah Calls Him "Dirty"

+=

"I'm going to say it: He's a dirty player," Noah said after he and his Chicago teammates practiced at Quicken Loans Arena in preparation for Monday's Game 2 against the Cavaliers. "He's always swinging elbows, man. I'm hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It's unbelievable. He's a dirty player. It's one thing to be competitive and compete and all that.

"But don't be a dirty player, man. He's a dirty player."

Personally I consider Joakim Noah as the dirtiest player in the NBA.  Large in part due to the fact he looks like a goddamn cracked out Italian Greyhound/Black Poodle mutt.  Aside from being the ugliest piece of shit in the League, he is the biggest pussy, literally.  6' 11" and you're crying about taking a love tap to the chest from KG?  Don't be mad KG is an accomplished vet, and you're struggling to make it out of the first round once again.  Here's an idea, worry about the Cav's and stop worrying about the Celtics(for now at least).  Clearly you're still bitter about last years series, but soon enough Lebron and the Cav's will be drowning your tears with champagne yet again.  Go suck off Q-Rich you pusswhip.  

Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 of Boston's first-round playoff series against the Heat for landing an elbow to the face of Miami's Quentin Richardson in a fourth-quarter fracas during Saturday's Game 1.

The announcement was made Sunday by Stu Jackson, NBA executive vice president, basketball operations.

Richardson was fined $25,000 for his role in the altercation.

"I have no beef with Q, I know him personally. I thought what he did was a bit disrespectful, standing over a guy hurt, you know, and talking nonsense. Before you knew it, it all just broke out. I gotta use my head, but all I saw was Paul hurt and that's all I cared about at that time."

It's not like anyone wasn't expecting this, but commissioner David Stern confirmed KG's 1-game suspension for game 2 earlier this evening.  Yes, he jocked a bow, but did he really have a choice when he was corned by Q-Rich tha Bitch?   Oh well, it will make a game 2 victory just that much sweeter.  

Should we believe in Kevin Garnett and the Celtics?

Cries and whispers about Kevin Garnett

You could hear them if you walked around the city long enough. Concerned whispers. Almost like cries for help.

But Rivers knows the whispers are out there, not only about Garnett but about the rest of the team, too.

Doc puts it this way: "Do [the players] hear it? They have to hear it. As long as they don't believe it. We are old. We are an old basketball team. We're not a very athletic basketball team. But we are a skilled basketball team, a smart basketball team."

When I ask him how the players react to the talk, Rivers' response sums up why anyone should think twice before giving up on this team: "They don't give a shit."

Great article by Scoop Jackson on Kevin Garnett. Gave me a little bit more hope for the Celtics heading into the playoffs -- whether or not it's false hope remains to be seen. But hey, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

Message to LeBron: Get a Ring or Be Quiet

LeBron James is on pace to claim his second scoring title after topping the league in 2007-08, when he was a year removed from leading the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals.

Given the choice of either, though, James was emphatic in claiming he could win the scoring championship at will.

But it's the team titles that hold the key, he said.

"It's not important to me at all. I mean right now our team is in a position to try to clinch throughout the whole playoffs," James said of home-court advantage Thursday in San Antonio, where the Cavaliers play the Spurs on Friday night. "That's what position we're in right now. If we can do that, that will be more important than a scoring title. I mean, individual accolades take care of [themselves]."

"If I really wanted to," James said, "if I really wanted to be the scoring [champion] every single year -- every single year -- I could really do it. But it doesn't matter."

I wish LeBron would just shut up. Really, just shut up. “If I really wanted to be the scoring champion every single year, I could really do it.” You know what LeBron? If Kobe Bryant really wanted to, he could too. So could Kevin Durant. So could Carmelo Anthony. Great players sacrifice their own stats for the benefit of their team. You are not the only one who does it. So just shut your mouth, play basketball, and prepare to choke away the playoffs once again. We already have every single media member telling us how great you are, we don’t need to hear it from you too.

I also want to propose a motion to eliminate the nickname “King James.” Generally, kings wear lots of jewelry, and last time I checked, LeBron didn’t have any. So, once again: LeBron, get a ring or be quiet.
