Fenomenal Filler

It's a Friday, there is basketball on tonight, and Spring might be arriving in the Nation's Capitol (maybe. kinda. sorta). What does all that mean? Absolutely nothing. But enjoy this peeps diorama of JaVale McGee's participation in the dunk contest many moons ago (man, people have too much free time):

coppin state let fang mitchell go today. booooo, coppin state.

rob said...

mark, chris walker had a really strong short stretch in the first half last night (then i fell asleep). realistically, is that the ceiling for him right now, or do you expect more during this tournament?

T.J. said...

I hope Louisville beats Kentucky by 40 tonight.

rob said...

amen to that

Mark said...

I think last night is about the most to expect from Walker. He's the 5th guy in Florida's frontcourt rotation and best suited as a spark plug at this point. The contributions of he and Kasey Hill were huge though.

Mark said...

I'd like to take this time to say reports of my gang ties are completely untrue. No need to release me from G:TB.

Mark said...

Nas is playing at the Kennedy Center tonight and tomorrow night. What the eff, DC are Gheorghies?

TR said...

Quiet night. Everybody saving their mojo for Zmanfest tmrw night?

rob said...

bummed to miss zcelebration. take lots of candid photographs.

rob said...

this is an awful endgame by michigan

mayhugh said...

This Mich Tenn finish has some potential.

Whitney said...

I say bullshit offensive foul call there with 6 seconds left. Overly aggressive call when it wasn't needed.

mayhugh said...

Wow. Never seen a team that didn't foul all half screwed over so royally for it.

Mark said...

That was a terrible makeup call against Tennessee. Even I see that and fucking hate Tennessee. With that said, not sure why they inbounded and ran iso for Stokes there. Get it to McRae, Michigan had no answer for him late.

Mark said...

Zman turning 40 or something? If I'd have known I'd have tried to get Action Bronson to show up at his party and do a set.

zman said...

Mark I assumed the trip was too far for an internet boyfriend you've met once before. Still time to catch a flight to Newark ...

Clarence said...

Z, I'm sorry I'm not there. Casualty of a divorcee dad, when you have a chance to hang with the daughters you gotta take it.

But now I'm drinking beer and ready to root on the Spartans against the local faves UVA.

Mark said...

Probably the right call. I did go to TJ's wedding after only meeting him twice in person.

Happy Birthday. You're old.

zman said...

I can't argue with those priorities.

zman said...

Yeah but Teedge's wedding held the promise of bacon.

TR said...

Tracey Wolfsohn bought her blouse from Estelle Getty's estate sale.

T.J. said...

Held the promise? Um, we brought the bacon, sir.

TR said...

That MSG crowd is gonna be drunk as hell. Folks in UVA gear were boozing early today. Very jealous. Would've been an intriguing doubleheader ticket if you could get in the building for under $400.

mayhugh said...

Re: Kentucky, Teej might get his wish.

Happy birthday zman.

mayhugh said...

Michigan State looks really composed early. As long as they don't go into a typical UVA-induced lull for an extended period in the first half, I like their chances.

T.J. said...

We get Raf for this UVA loss...blessed

TR said...

Russ Smith: big set of balls, funny set of ears.

TR said...

You can't underestimate the job by Calipari of getting his young team settled. His team was close to getting run out of the gym early.

zman said...

Basketball jerseys should not have sleeves. Louisville looks like they're wearing undershirts.

zman said...

That foul Harrison took was a great play.

zman said...

Took should be drew. Whatever.

zman said...

Kentucky apparently borrowed a cheerleader from W&M.

TR said...

Hey music fans. Palladia showing a guitar festival at 11PM ET: Clapton, ZZ Top, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks and more. DVR that crap.

TR said...

Zman - if you hate the sleeves, avoid the Knicks-Suns game at all costs. Will be cute when the Knicks end the season a game out of the playoffs.

zman said...

9th place y'all!

Mark said...

I'd love Louisville's unis without the sleeves. Sleeves don't belong in basketball.

TR's right. Calipari kept his young team from melting down. And lost Cauley-Stein. And it's a one possession game.

Mark said...

To your point on TJ's wedding I'll add a weekend hanging out with Greg. Im always good for that.

TR said...

Kentucky's gonna win.

Mark said...

UVA-Michigan St is a good game. Louisville-Kentucky just feels bigger. Saying something since the former is being played in MSG.

Happy to have two TVs mounted into the living room.

Mark said...

Luke Hancock is really good. He'd have a averaged 20+' a game if he had stayed at George Mason.

rootsminer said...

I don't know if they can pull this out, but this is my favorite UVA hoops squad ever. Weird to see dudes in those unis gettin after it like that.

Mark said...

Agreed. I know there is plenty of UVA hate around here but I like Tony Bennett. And Joe Harris.

rob said...

damn, gheorghies, that was a fun night of hoops. wish joe harris could shoot free throws.

as much as i hate to admit it, uva is on the rise. tony bennett is terrific. matched coaching wits with izzo and got the game played to his terms. too much payne and dawson. if bennett gets his own version of those guys, look out.

rootsminer said...

Tough loss for the 'Hoos, but they were ballin to the end.

Now Barkley is doin live tv with a lozenge in his mouth, and it seems to be numbing his tongue.

zman said...

I figured out how to McGuyver a ghetto Sonos system together using old stereo parts. How loud should the secondary music source at a pig roast be? Is a Sounddock enough or should I dig out my old college stereo that rootsy remembers fondly?

Mark said...

New post up.
