Two more games before we hit the All-Star break. You know what that means... it's almost time for the annual Basketbawful Null-Star Game. Rosters are being determined right now, and I will simulate the game in NBA 2K11 and post it on Youtube sometime in the next few days. I hope to have it done sometime this weekend, but I can't guarantee it. I can guarantee this: it will be worth the wait. You know you want to see shot-clock violations, bricked threes, over-and-back violations, and lots of poor basketball players aimlessly standing around.
Worst of the Night in Pictures:
Nationally Televised Games:
Spurs at Bulls, TNT, 8pm: The Spurs are having their best rodeo trip (6 of 8 wins so far) since the 2002-03 season. As you may have guessed, that same Spurs team won the title. I don't wanna stat curse anything (seriously, unlike last night, I really don't), but I think I speak for every other team in the league when I say this: oh snap!
Mavericks at Suns, TNT, 10:30pm: Wait a second... the Mavericks are already stupid good, so they added Peja Stojakovic, and now they've also gotten Rodrigue Beaubois back on the court? Tonight could be their 13th win in their last 14 games. And things just got interesting out West...

NEW YORK (AP) -- The playwright behind the Broadway play "Lombardi" is moving from the gridiron to the basketball court.
Eric Simonson is working on "Magic/Bird," a new play that will chronicle the lives of Hall of Famers Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
I don't know whether to be amused, frightened, or some combination of both.
How often have we been able to say that on regular nights this season, not to mention nights with only two games?
Childress line as a rookie: 10.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.0 apg. 47% from the field and 24% from 3. PER 15.2
Fields current stats: 10.1, 7.1, 2.0 apg. 52% FG and 40% on 3 pointers. PER 14.2
Should a deal for 'Melo be rejected over Landry Fields, I really hope the Knicks management know something I don't.
I also nominate the entire cHeat bench as a whole team. It sucks that they take a bunch of spots, but seriously. Seriously.
My driver just handed me a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Should be called "No ass edition".
Where I'm from, the real pretty skinny babe loses to the real ugly babe w/a fatty. Hahahaa. I'm laughing but I'm serious.
I'm laughing but I'm serious. That describes so well, why I follow the NBA.
... let me also try that one: any team from now, up until the last finals game, can EASILY win with phoenix, just like that... no? not working?
As long as the game gets competitive in the 2nd half and is down to the wire, I love it. Last years game was fantastic (Wade MVP ftw!)
Listening to local Miami Sports radio, people are wondering how The Heat and Celtic players will "work." Wade and Pierce in particular do not like each other (as do I and all of Florida).
If you hope to stop the mocking this way, then hope is frail.
Like the Blazers.
Look at the bright side, least it isn't 10 years ago when everyone would be calling them the JailBlazers.
AnacondaHL- dont be jelous just cause your fanbase sucks a$$...Blazers regular season homecourt is more intense than Phoenix in the playoffs buddy...and im a fan of Simmons work, and not even from Portland or american for that matter..just happens I like NBA ball and support the Blazers, who by the way with half the team injured are still FAR BETTER than the shitty a$$ Suns...
hahahahahha, you are the fu(kin joke here buddyboy
This website is for mockery, not butthurt fanboys. Go back to your "Everyone is mean to me all the time!" sharing circle, Anon. Say hi to Justin Beiber for me!
Bleh, butthurt fanboy, indeed. The Other Chris hit the nail right on the head.
I understand that it's not that much fun to see your own team mocked. I'm a Pissed-ons fan (and I'm a little sad that hasn't seemed to really catch on, since I've been saying it for over 20 years), and I might not personally enjoy it when they're rightfully skewered, but since when does my team get immunity? Only if they're good, and the Pissed-ons don't qualify, ergo bring on the mockery.
As others have said, if the Blazers were healthy, they wouldn't get the Frail moniker (although I'm sure that someone here would come up with something equally clever and appropriate).
you seem to be like one of those future serial killers america tends to create at a higher % than say, europe, where i live..whats with all the rage?! you cant get chicks to be wih you? you dont like them at all? you dont like yourself that much? settle down loser
(And hell, Charlotte doesn't even really suck all that bad anymore, and we still call them the Bobcraps because it, again, just sounds funny.)
AnacondaHL - I win.
whats with all the rage?!
Lol. Umm, pot, kettle, black.
Is MySpace running out of room? Or insane asylums are directing the inmates here?
BTW, how can Portland NOT be the Frail Blazers when its very best player of ALL TIME, I TELL YOU, OF TIME IMMORTAL IN GALAXIES KNOWN AND UNKNOWN...
...went from being the reason that the Blazers have a title, to a regular on the IR and a disgruntled not-quite-free-agent asking for a trade?
Yeah, this nickname has fit for 34 years and should never leave.
Hell, he might be an international Player!
Also: we need a foot-in-mouth watch for this quote by Suns coach Alvin Gentry:
"We will come back after the All-Star break and we will play good basketball and we will find a way to make a run and get in the playoffs.”
Doesn't this guy read Basketbawful?? Doesn't he know he could be cursing his team to years of sub-400 basketball?
Finally: Peja and Dirk are like "Perfect Strangers," only with two Balki's.
We are the Frail Blazers. The only reason our best ever franchise player was Walton is because the the guy who would have been our best ever player got drunk and fell down a flight of stairs before he ever played for us.
Our curse are so powerful that they work in absentia.
Poor Steve Nash.
Blazers haven't been to the finals since 1992 and guess who made the finals the very next year, Phoenix.
Also @sportinglisbon: I'm a Blazers fan as well but seriously? This team is hurt more often than it rains in Portland. The nickname fits, as depressing as it may be. Deal with it.
*facepalm*
