Uh

Uh huh

You know what this is

I'ma let 'em run around one more time

I drop sumpin' on y'all

It's like... it's like

What's it like?

My microphones and glock nines

Black? I'm dipped in that

The beats, my mash, jam you for the platinum you have

Run it, the illest, watch me become it

I'm here, and took it bowling, like straight to the wig

Speak truth like kids, tell you what you don't know

Kobe? Yeah, he's real with the flow

Kick in the do' wavin' the flow-flow

All you heard was stop, can't take the hits no more

Ha, didn't know I had your block on SWAT?

I'm CIA, y'all nuttin' but beat cops

I rock like my ma's mean, name is cocaine

Place you on my A-fiend list and pay you 'cane

Think you can handle? Not get stripped when you rock?

Think again, you find you lost your mind and judgement

My confidence, springs from watching y'all fall

Aw, forced to hustle, rap in charge

I'ma hop in your brain, tell you whatchu thinkin'

Yes, I am speakin', but I ain't writin'

So cold, I put the ice in nicest

You too broke to pay attention

My style is priceless

(Kobe) (Nas)

If you say murder that means I'm a Thug Poet

If I say my mind kills that means I'm a Thug Poet

If I say that I'm a flock that means I'm a Thug Poet

And when I lay it down, it makes me a Thug Poet

d12 sucks...

this game was a fucking letdown, kobe drops 40 and howard goes 2-12 from the field. hopefully this'll turn out to be a series

i hope so too. i predicted lakers in five, but hardly because i wanted it to be so.

loved the dwight howard vitamin water commercial.

Otherwise, yikes.

Ouch. Demolished.

haha the only article hollinger could possibly write atm. just pull the trigger dude!

:)to all the haters

:-) x-post

Still thinking Lakers in 6. No way Orlando shoots that poorly over the whole series.

Jameer Nelson = scary, too.

Agreeing on all points; they looked pretty competitive for the first quarter and then they went ice cold for what felt like ten minutes.

Orlando without 3s falling is not much to look at.

Timely Onion Playoff Coverage

that game was boring as hell beyond a couple of epic kobe moves, at least to someone who doesn't care who wins this series

Great to watch first quarter, then thank god for tivo.

Hey guys, it's like a real game now

Oops, you missed it

there's something joyless about this series, is it just me?

Yeah

Up until a couple of minutes ago, there was no sense of flow. Like two people in an argument talking past each other.

i'm trying to remember the last finals series that i honestly enjoyed. other than the pistons beating the lakers in 04 i don't think i've really enjoyed the finals in this entire decade.

heh yes, this is harold pinter basketball. xp

i enjoyed the celtics crazy comeback game last year tho xp

I loved the Heat-Mavs series, but I had a rooting interest. Last year's Finals, too, for that matter.

Basically, when teams I like win, I like the Finals. I'm shallow that way.

yeah i could see the joy, especially for celtics fans, in last year's series -- and my lakers schadenfreude knows no bounds -- but i couldn't really get into that celtics team. i have issues with teams that are just thrown together and not like built and grown together over years, it just rings a little false with me. but that's my thing.

i was on the road during the heat/mavs series, so i don't think i saw a single game! but i think the officiating issues with that series that have been documented pretty rigorously over the years since would have driven me crazy. and i really wanted stern to be forced to hand cuban the trophy. would have been a spectacular moment.

i can see what you're saying, the whole idea of "buying a championship" and all that, but the c's last year, led by kg, made a concerted effort from day one to gel and become a real team xp

oh they absolutely did, i don't discount their championship at all. but from the beginning of the season i had a bit of a grudge against them because of the way they were constructed.

this all sort of began for me when payton and malone decided to ride shaq and kobe for a ring in 04 (lol @ how that worked out) and it just seemed completely hollow to me. and the c's weren't doing that, like i said, i just couldn't get into them. but i respect their win absolutely.

in other news: jj redick!

i'm cool with that. xp

turk!!

lee blew it

i think he got fouled, but still, how do you not get the ball to rashard???

or to hedo ?

wow @ the replay of that block, jeez turko.
