"Living in Compton California CA

His Uzi up yo ass if he don't get paid..."

Sadly, fifteen years ago today Eric Lynn Wright, better known as rapper Eazy-E, passed away. I figured we had enough of the Tauntaun sleeping bag and instead could use some Eazy-E (and friends) prior to tonight's hoops action. Enjoy...but as you might recall, Mr. Wright and Co. use some "colorful" language, so try not to get fired listening to this.

  1. i really enjoyed the tauntaun sleeping bag.

  2. and when is whitney/godot going to get here?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Oh, I sense Igor will be by any time now...

    ReplyDelete
  4. way to ruin the suspense, jerkbucket.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Yes, it's very suspenseful to glimpse over to the list of G:TB staffers and see that, hey, look at that, Whit's name is gone and then there is this other name Igor. Oh god, hope I didn't ruin it for everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  6. you did. you ruined it for everyone, encyclopedia brown.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Who ruined it for everyone? That fat fucking drunk "TJ"? Yeah, fuck that guy.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Sorry Mark. The Teej in no way wants to steal your schtick.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Bailey Wick? Cane Lover? Forum For'em?

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'm confused. How are you stealing my shtick? In fact, what is my schtick?

    ReplyDelete
  11. And TJ has officially jumped the shark ego wise with the changing of his moniker to "The Teej". We're about two months away from him going solo with his own blog and dropping not so subtle disses to his old partner Z-Man as well as the rest of the G:TB staff.

    ReplyDelete
  12. we'll give his job to greg.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm only the Teej until the arrival of the artist formally known as Whitney. Or 5pm. Whatever comes first.

    ReplyDelete
  14. This is exactly where The Teej's "Behind the Blog" starts...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Nothing. Just some douchebags who think they're too important to use their real names around here.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Seriously, all of those guys are the worst. Especially the douchewhistle with that "rob" acronym..."runt on board" was so '88.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hola.

    And Whitney's name is still up there, dummy.

    ReplyDelete
  18. It's pronounced "EYE-gor."

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ohio State-Tennessee is FUUUN. Lots of scoring, tons of athletes on the floor and a nice matchup between Bruce Peal's defensive looks and Evan Turner.

    Baylor, on the other hand, just looks way too tough defensively and too athletic for St. Mary's.

    ReplyDelete
  20. LaceDarius...not even remotely phased by St. Mary's defenders.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Did you see the article about the autistic kid who picked every game right so far? He has Tennessee in the final four.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I just commented 4 or 5 times in the wrong post below. I am a moron.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I hate these algae ads. Dude's been growing algae for 35 years and he still can't make fuel?

    ReplyDelete
  24. The autistic kid also has somebody absurd (and already eliminated) winnng the tourney. It's a nice story and he's won some good cash for his efforts but he ain't winning any pools.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'd say Baylor is murdering St Marys, but something feels off about that.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think he had Purdue winning it all.

    ReplyDelete
  27. He's off to never never land.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Some guy named Alonzo Gee led the Wiz in scoring in the first half. The Wiz, they are bad.

    ReplyDelete
  29. bruce pearl is right: turner carries the shit out of the ball

    ReplyDelete
  30. I call that NBA-ready rob.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Non-headband Chism wants to carry these guys to a win.

    ReplyDelete
  32. i admit it: that t-pain cameo makes me giggle

    ReplyDelete
  33. What did JP Prince do to these refs? Those are two terrible calls on him in a row. Both should've been offensive fouls.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Can I call Brian Williams "Venison Dele"?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I agree, Turner gains a huge advantage by the way he handles the ball.

    And Alonzo Gee played at Bama. Good athlete, decent shooter, no basketball IQ.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Gee sounds perfect for this Wiz team.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'll say it. Turner's jumper needs LOTS of work.

    ReplyDelete
  38. You're right Teej. He just needs a criminal charge or two.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Um, North Korea sank a South Korean sub? What is this, 1955?

    ReplyDelete
  40. shlara left the country for italy today. i question her commitment to the hoops cause.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ohio St might want to stop fouling guys throwing down hammer dunks.

    ReplyDelete
  42. You circling her house with your lights off?

    ReplyDelete
  43. JP Prince is kind of a douche, maybe that's what the refs have against him.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Omar Samhan...the Greek league is on line 1.

    ReplyDelete
  45. ohio state is circling the drain

    ReplyDelete
  46. TJ...Wayne Chism would like you to blow him where the pampers is.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah, Jon Diebler picked a bad night to lose his shooting touch.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Mark, did you know the Wiz signed Shaun Livingston to a 10 day contract, and within one week he was signed for the year and has stoled Randy Foye's starting PG gig?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Wayne's bringing it big time.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Is Wayne Chism gonna have to choke a bitch?

    ReplyDelete
  51. I did not know that. Good For Livingston. By all accounts he's a great guy who's worked his ass off to come back from a devastating injury. It's a shame he was hurt so badly because he had everything you could ever want in a PG and then some. As for Foye, he's not a PG. Just PG size. I like him as a player but he's a 3rd guard/6th man on a really good team. It's a good thing he wasn't traded for a star like Brandon Roy on draft day.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Venison Dele is just throwing OSU guys around the paint.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Indeed, he's setting some very questionable screens.

    ReplyDelete
  54. We've got another beaut of a game...god bless

    ReplyDelete
  55. Has JP Prince been the best player in this game? Seriously. He's made an impact in every phase.

    ReplyDelete
  56. unreal - haymakers all around

    ReplyDelete
  57. Turner's a little right hand heavy for my taste. He needs to get better at taking it and finishing strongly with his left. He never even feigned taking it left over the last 5 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  58. 'Lil Iverson needs to sink these...

    ReplyDelete
  59. And yes, I'm nitpicking. But these are the things he'll have to be able to do to be a big time pro.

    ReplyDelete
  60. hard to beat verne & raftery too...i wub it.
    is the rainboy bracket picker still perfect? really? he did pick purdue cuz his older brother graduated from there, also autistic

    ReplyDelete
  61. Mark, it sounds like I already have the answer, but if you were the Nets your taking Wall #1 hands down? No Turner talk?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Nope, not a foul. Horrendous possession indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  63. As Tennessee dies, so does my bracket. Au revoir, $1200 first prize.

    ReplyDelete
  64. we're all boilermakers tonight, friends

    ReplyDelete
  65. I don't understand that strategy. Get a quick 2, foul and extend the game. You don't have to have a 3 when you're down 2 with 12 seconds left. Dumb. Just dumb.

    As for the #1 pick. The impact of a dominant PG is just too great in today's NBA. I know the Nets have Devin Harris but he's nowhere near what Wall can be. Wall and Brook Lopez are two fantastic building blocks for a franchise. Even a team like Utah should take Wall #1 and then try and trade him for assets if they don't think they can pair he and Deron Williams. Wall will be highly sought after and whoever drafts him will be able to improve themselves significantly with what they receive in return.

    ReplyDelete
  66. No, he had Cuse over Butler. That's his only wrong pick though.

  67. If some guy was rapping about breaksfast in your car pool van, wouldn't you fucking slap him?

    ReplyDelete
  68. And steal his fucking food/coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  69. The McDonalds commercial with the guy rapping in the car over a beat from 1991 is brutal. The "rapper" should take off his clothes and return them to the Dwayne Wayne section of the "A Different World" wardrobe museum.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yes. And I think I've heard that song before. I can't put my finger on it, but it's a ripoff of something.

    ReplyDelete
  71. st mary's winning the second half

    ReplyDelete
  72. That blonde with Bryce Drew has some hair, eh?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Bryce Drew needs to give Pete Sampras his face back.

    ReplyDelete
  74. we're gonna get the duke game, aren't we?

    ReplyDelete
  75. novel approach for purdue - nothing but air

    ReplyDelete
  76. I feel bad for anybody who's cable provider didn't give them a second HD channel that carries the out of market tournament game. Actually, no. No I don't.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Or whose. Bad day of grammar and syntax for me. I know what the problem is though...no papal ballots. I'll take care of that.

    ReplyDelete
  78. 'lower body root canal', huh clark?

    ReplyDelete
  79. purdue and duke should be using peach baskets

    ReplyDelete
  80. does general zaius know his son is playing center for duke?

    ReplyDelete
  81. Duke's cheerleaders are very Tribesque.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I think his name was Dr. Zaius, actually.

    ReplyDelete
  83. you're right, he was a doctor. it was general zod. who also looks like zoubek.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm thinking of growing a small neckbeard, like a neckgoatee. The Z-woman isn't as enthusiastic as I am. But Zoubek and Pullen have inspired me.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Purdue's shorts are preposterous.

    ReplyDelete
  86. TJ -- I just accidentally left a comment on the last thread. Thought you might want some company.

    ReplyDelete
  87. My beard is halfway down my neck. It's really quite a fucking sight a this point. A conversation piece even.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I just want to grow a patch of hair directly under my chin and down my neck. A neckgoatee.

    ReplyDelete
  89. You just saw why Kyle Singler won't be much of an NBA player. An NBA 3 has to hammer that.

    ReplyDelete
  90. duke is singler. singler is duke.

    ReplyDelete
  91. By all means Z. Go for it.

    And what's your shot fetish? I seem to remember you having issues with Nova's shorts last season.

    ReplyDelete
  92. The new Duke, Rob. And that's one of the reasons they aren't as good as they once were.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I think it looks really stupid when your shorts cover more of your shins than they leave exposed. Your shorts should cover no more than 49% of your shins, and ideally shouldn't fall more than an inch below your kneecap. Everyone's game just looks stupid in capri pants.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Did any of you watch Northern Iowa at all this year? Did anyone know they were good?

    ReplyDelete
  95. side of fries and a biscuit? so you can bind yourself up for a few days?

    ReplyDelete
  96. i saw uni drum odu in the bracketbusters. the mid-major geeks loved them from early on.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Is... is that... the Teej?

    ReplyDelete
  98. terrific 3 minutes for delvon roe

    ReplyDelete
  99. It's a shame his knee is wrecked. He's got a great mind for the game and used to have a ton of athletic ability. Microfracture surgey is high school is tough to recover from, I imagine.

    SI did an article on UNI in February.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Wildcats is among the worst nicknames ever. So generic.

    ReplyDelete
  101. For what it's worth, Lucas O'Rear was the the 6th man on the All G:TB team.

    ReplyDelete
  102. so tom izzo's pretty effing brilliant, isn't he?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Just a hunch, but I bet TR has a giant man-crush on UNI's chubby guy with muttonchops.

    ReplyDelete
  104. And I also have a hunch that there are no barbers or mirrors in Durham, hence Singler's hair.

    ReplyDelete
  105. As to Rob's point, Michigan State's offensive sets are beautiful to watch. He's a great X's and O's coach.

    ReplyDelete
  106. That's the second ad intimating that your children will love you if you drive a truck.

    ReplyDelete
  107. chris kramer is tougher than you are

    ReplyDelete
  108. It is tough to hate duke as much as I do, but I think some G:TB'ers might.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Victoria Jackson aged poorly.

    ReplyDelete
  110. i hate carolina more, but i'm definitely rooting against the devils.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I never forgave Duke after they denied my application.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I think Singler has the AIDS.

    ReplyDelete
  113. tied at the under 8 in st louis. 1-point game in houston. best first three rounds ever? best first three rounds ever.

    ReplyDelete
  114. What do you think Mr. Littlejeans?

    ReplyDelete
  115. Most definitely rob. If Northern Iowa wins we'll have a 6-9 matchup for the right to go to the final four. When was the last time that happened?

    ReplyDelete
  116. Credit to Jay Bilas. He said a month ago ( and repeated often) that he thought this year's tourney would turn out like the 06 tourney when Florida, UCLA, LSU and Mason made the Final Four. So far, he ain't far off.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Jon Scheyer is skinnier than you are.

    ReplyDelete
  118. jacobson's not a bad coach himself. trapping the post paying dividends.

    ReplyDelete
  119. 84% shooter koch misses a pair, lucious hits a fadeaway to put msu up 4. might be it.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I am truly excited for Baylor-Duke.

    ReplyDelete
  121. got caught up on all my shows yesterday evening - Lost was a pleasant surprise. What say you.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Dan, starting Lost now, will report back.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Frank Wright is stunningly ineloquent.

    ReplyDelete
  124. he can design the shit out of a building, though

    ReplyDelete
  125. Indeed. I think I meant Frank Martin. I too am bumblingly ineloquent.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Brad Friedel gave up 7 against Chelsea. Not a strong show from a solid Aston Villa squad.

    In other US action, Jozy Altidore went most of the way in a rare Hull City win against Clint Dempsey's Fulham squad. Dempsey went the whole way.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Does Jay Bilas go to his barber and say "give me the Montross?"

    ReplyDelete
  128. 7 as in goals? guh.

    fulham beat juventus last week. bit of a letdown today.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Matt Howard's rocking the Adam Morrison Memorial Crustache.

    ReplyDelete
  130. c'mon, butler. this isn't wisconsin-green bay.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Not much of a crowd at LSU's spring game. At least by SEC standards.

    K-State looks tired from Thursday's double OT thriller. Frank Martin thinks "tired legs" are for pussies.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Jacob Pullen appears to talk constantly. He just yelled at the basket support and he and Jordan Crawford were yakking, and it appeared to be very friendly, throughout the entirety of the 15 minutes of their closely contested contest.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Jesse Palmer just referenced Tron during a pass attempt to a Terrance Tolliver (who has an unusual cast on his hand). I feel like this happened because Les Miles made the ESPN crew watch Tron with him last night.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Should we even care what Jacob Pullen does until the last 5-6 minutes of a game. Dude is money down the stretch.

    ReplyDelete
  135. throats getting tight in the dark uniforms

    ReplyDelete
  136. After this tremendously fun tournament, the NCAA might not want to tinker with the format.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Lol. The moment after Gus Johnson raves about Girdon Hayward's fundamental base, he fumbles the ball away with no pressure on him.

    Clemente for the lead!

    ReplyDelete
  138. I'm thinking of leaving my fiancé for this tournament. You think I have a chance?

    ReplyDelete
  139. Two differences in this game, IMO. K-State's fatigue and Butler's head/heart. Bulldogs didn't panic when it got tight and made all the big plays over the last 2 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  140. It's official. Butler's THE mid-major program in College Basketball. And you know what? I'm happy for them, their fans and the program as a whole.

    ReplyDelete
  141. A 33-year-old former pharmaceutical sales rep just coached his team into the final four. Good for him.

    ReplyDelete
  142. that's a really damn good team. this is no fluke.

    ReplyDelete
  143. The video clip of Brad Stevens doing the flying shoulder bump with his assistant was great. Tough not to like that whole team, top to bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  144. gus on hayward after getting an o.reb and a layin - "don't let the smooth taste fool ya" ???

    on someone else - clemente perhaps - "he's the straw that stirs the drink" which is a total ripoff from one of my shows this week - Modern Family mabye? 30 Rock - can't remember...

    hellofa bawgame there.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I believe Reggie Jackson said it first. NYC was the drink, he was the straw that stirred it.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Yeah Dan, that saying's been around for some time.

    ReplyDelete
  147. dan - yeah ahhhh, that saying's been around since moby dick was a tadpole....ahhh, i think we're gonna need you to come in on sunnnnday, yeahh....thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  148. This game is quite strange.

    ReplyDelete
  149. And West Virginia's zone(s) are bothering Kentucky. Like really, really bothering Kentucky.

    ReplyDelete
  150. how many times has a team led at the half of an ncaa tournament game without making a 2-point field goal?

    ReplyDelete
  151. i love love love damarcus cousins' game.

    ReplyDelete
  152. His attitude is another question.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Why, exactly is this Disneyland?

    ReplyDelete
  154. Huggy's final four appearance - nicky va poo poo was involved right? Who else was on that club?

    ReplyDelete
  155. Bob Huggins is a much better coach than I ever gave him credit for. I read several articles in the last week about him blending some of the old Beilin with his schemes, and the results speak for themselves.

    Plus, he loves a good Irish taxi ride, and honestly, who doesn't?

    ReplyDelete
  156. ken pomeroy says this is enberg's last game. pretty good run.

    ReplyDelete
  157. i can't believe i'm rooting for huggins

    ReplyDelete
  158. Why does Kentucky just keep giving up layups to Joe Mazzulla? His shoulder's fucked but it doesn't mean he can't hit layups.

    ReplyDelete
  159. My high school coach played for Huggins in college (not at Natti, much earlier) and we ran all his sets.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Not to get all Jaworski, or Bilas, but the Huggy offense gives me wood.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Bilas took the words right out of my mouth...stop the ball. Not stopping the ball on the break is an automatic suicide in any self respecting coach's practice.

    ReplyDelete
  162. i thought the 20-second tribute to enberg's career was a bit lame.
    bilas is going snorkelin later tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  163. John Wall gives Dick Enberg wood.

    ReplyDelete
  164. i can't remember a harder guy to stop with the ball than wall

    ReplyDelete
  165. In all seriousness, Kentucky has five first round draft picks on this team right?

    Wall
    Cousins
    Bledsoe
    Patterson
    Orton

    ReplyDelete
  166. anyone turning off their electricity for earth hour? sorry, almost got through that with a straight face.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Young Jason Kidd was pretty amazing on the break but he didn't have near the hops or finishing ability that Wall has.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Definitely 4 and somebody might take a shot with Orton. No doubt.

    ReplyDelete
  169. West Va has shot lights out for an hour and a half. Does that count?
    /gore'd

    ReplyDelete
  170. Bilas is making a great point without actually making it. Huggins has outcoached Calipari by an embarassing margin in the 2nd half.

    ReplyDelete
  171. this is shaping up as a strange and wonderful final four. and i bet the ratings will suck.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Obviously, we also want to add Baylor and Tennessee tomorrow, ratings be damned.

    ReplyDelete
  173. I can't root for Tennessee to make the Final Four. Sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Completely understood. You and Mateen Cleeves should have an impromptu election and vote early....and often.

    ReplyDelete
  175. gtb's own baylor bears need to get to indy.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Once, twice, thre times a lacedarius...

    ReplyDelete
  177. bilas thinks uk's gonna win this game.
