Magic Johnson Still Can't Enunciate


Magic Johnson just straight slaying me with his grasp of the English language, specifically the past and present tenses. Magic's continued struggles with enunciation after all these years on TV is frankly, more shocking that the fact that he seems to have beaten the HIV.

"Especially at they age." 
"Sometime that they problem though"
"When they're embarrass they always come back, when they're challenge they always come back"

Sadly I can't find a clip of my all-time favorite Magic'ism: Magic saying "Lebron Jame." 

It ain't even past tense, he just can't add that "s" on there. 


Hey NBA, Look Away, It's Dwayne Wade Mauling Rajon Rondo


Not a foul though. Solid play on the ball, not a foul at all. How many games would Pietrus have been suspended for the same play if he did it to Lebron or Wade? 2? Absolute Fucking Bullshit.

Not to mention the fact that this was then followed by Dwayne Wade's sure to be infamous Crouching Tiger,  Hidden Dragon move on KG:



Just a brutal stretch of officiating. I will say that one might be a 50/50 call, but considering the ref's owed the Celts one big time for the Rondo non-call, I can't see how you get KG there. The man was just kung fu'd. And you know what pisses me off the most about all the referee shenanagins last night? The fact that that's what we'll remember the game for. 

We should be remembering 53 mins (that's every single minute, folks), 44 pts, 8 rebs, 10 assists, 3 steals, and a whole lot of heart. This should be remember as Rondo's ultimate HOF highlight reel game. Instead it's just going to be remembered as game two in a series the Heat will presumably roll in 5 now, and a game where the Celts were whistled for 33 fouls, to Miamis 18. An absolute joke and a damn shame.
