Dudes. This is when I really, really hate my commute. I always have a late flight out on Sunday nights, at least always during Game 5 of the fucking Playoffs, I do. I missed the first half of the game but via the wonder that is technology I caught the second half on radio, text msgs, handheld browsing, satellite radio, AM radio and finally a teevee between the tarmac and my hotel room.
What a thriller! Paul Pierce straight beatin’ it up until he just couldn’t do it no mo’ and making the Lakers work for it, ‘cept maybe the Celtics were already working too hard b/c Kobe’s steal offa Pierce becomes a 2-handed shut-it-down slam that was HOTT.
And you know who else had a big night? My man Gasol, (aka Non from Superman II) who also interviews very well btw, that Spanish accent with perfect sport-speak English, mmmm, it does something to me. 19pts, 13 rbs. Must be all the Columbian being dished around here, Tailfeather and Trixie must be influencing my tastes but suddenly Big Man Pao has caught my eye.
Paul Pierce - 38pts * Kobe Bryant - 25pts
Lakers over Celtics 103-98, Celtics lead series 3-2, Come on Tuesday!
Unrelated: I kinda love this song, perfect for a Monday when you don’t want to fuckin’ go to work and do some shitty thing but you have to so you might as well get charged up and fucking do it.
(soooo you might as well look at the beefcake version with Leo, Matt and Mark in it, right?)

HAAAAA! Kadinsky, if I’d have know you were into Gasol, I could’ve arranged a meeting before Memphis traded him!
I’ve met him a few times. I used to bartend at this crap bar he went to a few times a week. It was weird, though, b/c he mostly hung out with these really annoying underage kids to whom I was constantly refusing to sell booze. So yeah, Gasol prolly thought I was an asshole. Uh, and he’s not totally wrong.

I didn’t used to be, mang - but I started watching his post game interviews during the playoffs and I dig his voice. Hilarious that you’ve met him, have you met his bro?

No, just him. Him and his lame-ass college bum friends buying cheap pitchers and not tipping very well (he tipped well, but his pals didn’t, I mean). I really thought Memphis must have been paying him bottom-of-the-league wages (given that they’re a bottom-of-the-league team), but now that he’s on the Lakers, I’ve found out he’s on a 10m/5 year deal. Daaaaaamn, son! What the HELL was a multi-millionaire doing hanging out at Nacho Villa with bratty meth-faced kids?
