this is hilarious... I POSTERIZED YOU Q-RICH! 

too bad the mavs couldn't pull out the win though... but yea, even though the mavs have a ton of talent, it sucked to see that they didn't have something that all good teams have; cohesiveness. it sucked to see the contrast between the leadership of nash vs that of dirk... while nash remained calm and encouraged his teammates even when they were down 16-some points, dirk lost it when jason terry, who was arguably their best player that night, made 1 single irrational move. then dirk doesn't back up his words by leading by example and only whines and complains even more during OT as time winds down...

so yeah, what i'm hoping for still stands; a matchup between the former nba champions for the nba finals

i'm tempted so much to go on and on about how the eastern conf finals are looking so good right now, but that's inappropriate to talk about right now.

so instead...

thanks for all the memories, reggie. for showing us the power of the jump shot. for giving your all night after night. for being completely loyal to the team you were drafted to from the get go. for being one of the greatest guys to play at the two spot.

at least he lost his final game at home, in a blaze of glory...

thanks for all the memories, reggie. we'll miss you.

and some ppl wonder why in the hell i like the pistons so much... when they often rely on their defense to win instead of offense, thus making them so "boring"...

This is why

i have never seen such an outright defensive rape like that(i'll admit i've never watched the legendary '96 jazz@bulls game 3 finals)... i've seen detroit really tear it up before last year, but never like this...

a 30-4 run is pretty damn good. hell, it's SICKENINGLY good. and it's even sicker when you realize rick charlisle tried to spend all his timeouts in the 3rd trying to slow the pistons down, and it didn't work. the only shot scored during that run was by a goaltended shot from foster.

you know when the pistons bring out darko, that their opponents just flat-out suck.

we WILL win game 4... yessire... now plz finish up...

what i now have for "baller material," the "little" things:
3 headbands- 1 green, 1 white made w/special cloth from dupont, 1 blue uc davis
2 wristbands- both green(i never use these at all)
2 finger sleeves- 1 black, 1 grey
1 elbowband- nike, white
1 shooting sleeve- official nba licensed, black
if you wanna count it:
1 rubber bracelet, red, "live for him"
1 green wwjd bracelet, the same one justin gave me for senior night

i'm bored; this is from my kitchen to yours(careful; i eat a lot, but hey, leftovers solve your what-to-eat-for-lunch tomorrow dilemmas), if you don't know what new to cook, here's 2 of my fave soup receipes:

water(about 4 cups)
2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 chicken breast, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
5 leaves romaine lettuce, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 tsp salt
dried shallots

combine; from top to bottom in a pot; heating the water on high until boiling; then add each of the ingredients from top to bottom, stiring a bit, then waiting until the soup boils before adding the next ingredient. you can stop @the lettuce when it boils and then add everything else. that's it; one of my faves for "clean(non-really-greasy)" soup.

cooking oil
half onion, chopped
water(about 4 cups, plus more if the noodles suck up the water)
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 chicken breast, chopped
a BUNCH(dunno how much; handful maybe?) of chinese-style noodles
1 egg
5 leaves romain lettuce, chopped
1/3 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green onion, minced

heat pot @medium heat, then add about 2 tbsp oil; wait a bit, then add onion in; stir around for a bit until you feel you like the flavor(think of it as a sort of light sautee); add water, then carrots; turn heat to hi. wait til boils, then add chicken; wait til boils again, then add noodles; stir frequently until noodles are "hydrated." add the egg, and stir, but DON'T break the yolk. once it boils again, add lettuce. once done boiling, add the rest, stir and serve. probably my favorite noodle soup receipe, that i cook myself often.

try em, and lemme know how you like em. for me, it takes maybe 1/2 hour to cook, a little over half an hour to eat entirely. you can add more eggs for the noodle soup if you want to serve others. yea, i'm a beast at eating food sometimes. who would've thought the day i'd hear jerm say to other msm ppl "well, at home(davis apt) rich destroys us"

i should exercise more often, or once i pass age 25...
