NBA Playoffs Conference Quarterfinals Predictions

This is what we've all been waiting for. Sixteen wins to get basketball's ultimate prize. Sixteen wins to become immortal. But you can't reach the top without starting somewhere. Rory, Dat Roro Kid, and myself picked the winners of the eight opening-round series. Some might seem like a forgone conclusion, but then again, anything is possible. Again, due to my extreme, extreme bias, I won't be picking the Knicks series.

Best Go NY Go???

First, Landry Fields absolutely kills it working at that Modell's. Now, he's starring in a hilarious version of Go NY Go with the kid that lip syncs on YouTube and some assorted friends. Personally, I think it's Andy Rautins's best work all season. So now is it better than the immortal 1994 video? Feel free to answer in the Comments. Just remember, you do not want to make Anthony Mason angry.

NBA's 65 Greatest Shots

Like Dani said, if you don't have a valentine, you gotta care of yourself. Watching the 65 greatest shots in basketball history definitely helps. Hoopism put together the collection and it is amazing. Each shot is diagrammed on the court below the video. I spent about 45 minutes clicking around. Might I recommend the 4-point play? Enjoy!

RAY ALLEN: CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!

I'd like to take some time now and congratulate Ray Allen for breaking the NBA's all-time record for points scored. Wait, what's that? He broke the record for 3-pointers made? Then why did they stop the game for him last night? I was getting into a bar and I noticed that this humongous Celtics-Lakers game was stopped and Ray Allen was hugging everyone in sight. AND IT WAS FOR BREAKING THE 3-POINT RECORD! IN THE MIDDLE OF A FINALS REMATCH! The 3-point shot has only been around for about 30 years. It's not really that big of an accomplishment. This isn't Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's HR record. Wave to the crowd during a timeout and hug your crazy mom and that twerp Reggie Miller after the game. When somebody breaks Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's points record, then by all means stop the game and let him have his moment. For the 3-point, blocks, minutes, turnovers, and literally everything else records, wait till after the game.
