W.I.N.N.E.R.S.
Monday catch-up, and a new type of fried chicken.
Once again, it’s a Monday of catch-up W.I.N.N.E.R.S.
GAME 4s
CHICAGO: I’ll go with Kirk Hinrich. They needed someone to offset Chauncey, and Kirk actually outplayed him. Truthfully I did not watch one second of this game. It was a 3-0 series on Mothers Day.
UTAH: Carlos Boozer. The Warriors are soft in the middle and Boozer loved that.
GAME 3s
NEW JERSEY: Jason Kidd. The triple doubles happen every day (or so it seems in the playoffs this year), but when Jason hits 5 threes as well, the other team might as well stay at home.
SAN ANTONIO: Tim Duncan. 33 and 19. He won his first ring as the franchise player and Finals MVP before Shaq did, and Timmy is still capable of the type of dominance few are.
GOLDEN STATE: Baron Davis. Oh my God did he do it to Kirilenko. Baron had a great game, and that dunk was the exclamation point of exclamation points. Picking up a tech celebrating it just made the whole play better. There was a lot of pressure on Baron Davis to celebrate a moment like that in the proper fashion and he came through with an assist from Stephen Jackson.
Congrats to Bryan Colangelo, executive of the year. Well-deserved.
And now… there have been many times on Player of the D.A.Y., the regular season version of this page, where I felt the need to expand on the evils of fast food. You might remember the Taco Bell rats and the guy that killed himself when Quiznos stole his money. Today, it’s the grand daddy of them all. McDonalds. WARNING: this is much worse than a Morgan Spurlock movie about hygiene. This is… this is bad.
I am nauseous.

I’m curious about both the GM and coach of the Raptors winning awards this year. If Mitchell is such a good coach, it implies that his team wasn’t that good and overacheived. but that can’t be true because Collangelo won GM of the year. Which is it? Great coach with bad team or good team put together by great GM?

You know what else is disgusting? That USA Basketball commercial. Why don’t they just have them say “I promise not to get arrested, miss practice or reproduce”?

Great moves to bring in a bunch of new players who needed to be coached brilliantly to even be considered a team?

Russ Bengtson says:
I like that Brad Miller’s in that Olympic commercial even though he quit the team out of disgust (since, you know, he never played).

not discussing the most recent playoff game (utah, gs)…just another glaring ineptitude of sam the intern

So that’s what a chicken head is. For years I’ve been confused by the slang of the hippityhop.

Uh… last night’s Utah-GS W.I.N.N.E.R is right at the top. Game 4: Carlos Boozer. DOn’t make me pull out the spreadsheet.

dez says:
Its almost sad how Boozer manhandles those warriors. Shot selection is not GS’s strong suit, but when they’re falling, its oh so sweet

Can Flip Murray get honorable mention for what he did to Hinrich? I know Hinrich’s not Kirilenko, but the smash was almost as impressive as Baron’s. No?
May.14 at 5:47 pm
Billy Blanks says:
Yes, Flip Murray’s dunk WAS quite disgusting, plus he added the stare as Hinrich is sliding under the hoop. Very nasty indeed

AK is bigger, a notorious shot blocker AND he jumped. Hinrich went for the charge and fell over for effect. Gotta go with Baron.

Nah, you can´t compare Flip´s dunk to Baron bangin on Kirilenko. A few weeks from now no one will talk about the Murray play. Baron however pulled off one of the sickest dunks in play-off history.

Chris says:
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/friedrat.asp Apparently this happened almost 7 years ago.

i didn’t even know mcdonalds used real chicken; so it’s probably a fake head.
May.14 at 8:39 pm
Russ Bengtson says:
Baron’s dunk was approximately 6,956,982x sicker than Flip’s.

Tim Dogg says:
I’m not sure why you would be surprised to receive an inferior product at McDonald’s. People need to realize that when they pay $1 for a hamburger, or $2 for some “chicken” they are probably not going to receive a quality product in either service or food quality. Think about it. A real hamburger cannot even be produced for a dollar, much less paying the employees who “make” it.

Coming off a blowout win over the Utah Jazz in game 3 on Friday night, the Warriors who were undefeated at home in the playoffs, were determined to tie up the series 2-2 before heading back to Utah for a pivotal game 5. Yet, the Jazz prevailed thanks to Carlos Boozer’s 34 points and 12 rebounds, and won the game 115 to 101. G-State played the Jazz well the entire game and kept close when they were not in the lead themselves. Despite Baron Davis having an off night with only 15 points, the Warriors stuck around until the fourth quarter before losing all their energy and playing with what it looked like something to lose. That is not their style of play and they cannot play like they have something to loose if they wish to win this series. The Jazz outscored the Warriors by 17 points in the fourth quarter as they stunned and hushed the usually deafening Oakland crowd. Derek Fisher also hit some big shots in the 4th, which contributed to the outcome of the game. I strongly believe that if the Warriors play like they did game 3 tomorrow night in Utah, they can send the series back to Oakland for a game 6 in front of their home crowd, who is still the best in basketball, and will have a chance to push the series to a seventh and deciding game. But first things first, Golden State needs to play with energy and with an attitude of having nothing to lose if they want to win game 6 tomorrow night in Utah. The Warriors gave away the first two games in Utah especially game 2, when they were up by 5 with 50 seconds to go. They cannot have another let down like that and need to play Golden State Warrior basketball the entire game.

That is likely a fake nugget the family put in there. All the nuggets are ground up meat so I doubt that could happen.

Good Points Tim Dogg and Colin. I also am not sure why Sam would subscribe to any old urban legend he happens to stumble across. I guess I will have to think about that. Perhaps Sam represents the mental acumin of the SLAM decisionmakers that decided they would take money from the Marines for an ad in the latest issue. Congratulations SLAM, you are helping faciltate the opportunities for our impressionable youth to get themselves killed. Now let us all talk about basketball and pretend everything is OK.

I love chicken heads

1hush D says:
OOoops, I was confused. THE Marines had an ad in the last issue. This issue it was the NAVY. So many killers, I can hardly keep them straight. SLAM, like the American government, is making enemies faster than they can kill them.

Slim says:
Max, I can’t believe you think that lady deserves more than 100K just for staring at a fried chicken head! I love America, man. That shit’s just ridiculous. Imagine being reminded that you’re actually eating an animal and not just a fried nugget.

Does it state anywhere that when you buy chicken nuggets you WONT get a big ass chicken head?
