Pharrell Freaks Out On Stage! "I Swear To God . If You Dont Move.

Get Out The F*ckin Way"

NBA Week 19 – SirmacTV.com



Word, heathens!

As you may have noticed I was M.I.A last week because I got too wrapped up in the Madness to really focus on pro ball. FYI, my bracket isn’t anything to write home about, but my final four is still in tact. I got my money on Memphis.

While the NCAA has been garnering most of the hoop world’s attention for the past week, there were still some interesting observations to be made in regards to the L.

Remember me talking about Carl Landry back around the deadline? Well the up and coming Rockets forward got shot in the leg early last week after the Rockets returned home from a win in New Orleans. Around 2:30 a.m two men in another vehicle rammed into the back of Landry’s SUV, forcing him off the road into a telephone pole. As Landry got out to inspect the damage, one of the men started firing at him and grazed his leg. A brief chase ensued on foot but Landry eventually lost the gunman after hiding between two houses. "I could have been dead," Landry said. "The shooter was 10 yards or less away. I'm 6-9 and I had a bright shirt on. I don't know how he missed, but thank God he did and he hit the lower part of my leg". Landry isn’t expected to miss too much time and should be back by the end of next week.

Did any of you guys hear about Charlie V. getting in shit after he “twittered” during halftime? Apparently coach Scott Skiles wasn’t too impressed and let Charlie know that halftime wasn’t the right time to log on to Twitter. Charlie has been putting up solid digits this year for the Bucks (about 17 and 7) and should be due for a nice raise this summer, but fellow twitterer Shaq isn’t too impressed; “Attention all twitterers, I'ma tweet at halftime and not get fined like vill a new wave a whteva his name is." – Shaq

As the trade deadline came and went and teams are gearing up for the free agent class of 2010, the main focus for a lot of teams is money. In a tough economic climate where professional sports organizations aren’t immune to the exhausting effects of a recession, two teams that could be on the list for possible relocation are the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings. The Pacers have reportedly lost over $200 million since 1983 and the Kings just haven’t put anything decent on the court for ages (aside from a couple years with J-Will, Webber and Vlade). The front-runners that could potentially be new destinations for each club are San Jose, Kansas City, Seattle and Vegas. Personally, I think Vancouver deserves consideration and I think its basketball landscape has grown immensely since the Grizz left about 7-8 years ago. The Grizz caught a raw deal when Stevie Franchise refused to play in Van-City after they drafted him but I think things would be different these days. High school ball is huge out West, second only in Canada to Ontario’s high school scene…UBC just played in the CIS Championship a couple weeks ago…Vancouver native Tyler Kepkay had a strong showing for Utah in the NCAA tourney…and overall, I think Canada (as a whole) has developed a new level of love and understanding of the game and has matured a great deal over the last decade.

Man, what the fuck is the deal with Nellie/Jamal Crawford in G-State? These two guys have been going back and forth for the last little while and Nellie has pretty much said that Crawford should just start packing his shit because he won’t be back in Golden State next year. Crawford didn’t see a tick of court time last week (he’s not even dressing anymore) and his agent has even been going at Nellie in the media. Now I know Nellie is cut from a different cloth and you just have to take him with a grain of salt, but at some point there has to be some compromise. Only time will tell where Crawford’s 20 ppg will end up next year.

All hail Big Pops! You gotta love this guys hustle. Since joining the Raps after a solid stint in the D-League (where he put up 26 and 13) his presence has been felt immediately. He’s currently putting up 7 and 7 in only 17 mins. of burn (JK puts up 8 and 2 in 23 mins) and is 4th in the L in rebounds per 48 minutes. The dude is still young and unpolished but he’s got the drive and hustle that you can’t teach. If Colangelo doesn’t sign him to at least a 1-year contract, then I’m cheering for the T-Wolves next year.

Anyways y’all, that’s it from this end, but check back next week as the playoff picture will be pretty much formed.

I’m out like Jamal in GS.

JD ERA RELEASES NEW HIT SINGLE “TAKE OFF” FEATURING SAUKRATES
(TORONTO, ON) – 10-Mar-09

JD Era, dubbed Prince of the North, teams up with industry veteran Saukrates to release “Take Off” his new hit single! As the premiere cut from Era’s forthcoming album due out later this year, this catchy track will leave fans chanting the hook, humming the beat and wanting more! DJs load it in and just hit replay…get ready for take off!!!

The full length album is titled after this first single and also boasts production by Saukrates in addition to Beat Merchant, local 16 year old prodigy Arion, and Spinz. Once fans have fastened their seatbelts and prepared for take off, JD plans to hit the airwaves with another hit and this time it will be a little something especially for the ladies. Propelled by these two tracks JD Era has hopes of soaring high and he expects to drop his completed album in mid June 2009.

In the last two years this talented emcee has performed alongside artists like Nas, Pretty Ricki, K-OS, Kardinall Offisial and The Clipse. In 2008 he was nominated for two DJ Stylus Awards, took home the hardware for Best Rap at the Toronto Independent Music Awards, was crowned the winner of the TAG Records’ Survival of The Freshest competition, and has his mixtape “Coming To America” nominated as Best Mixtape for Flow 93.5’s Real Frequency Awards. This past year JD also appeared in the May issue of the well-known “Black Men’s Magazine,” signed a highly successful US ringtone deal with UrbMob., and spent about 2 months living and working on his music in New York City.

With a trademark “in your face” approach and developed flow JD Era is well on his way to infiltrating the music industry worldwide. Creatively bridging the underground and the mainstream worlds, his elaborate wordplay and clever sound have already distinguished him from all the rest in the streets and on the stage. People get ready because the “Prince of The North,” is about to become king of the rap game!

Michael Jackson Announces His Comeback

Chris Brown charged with 2 felonies

NBA WEEK 17

Greetings from the confines of my kitchen…

I’ve been away in Ottawa since Thursday so I didn’t really catch much ball over the weekend, however, that doesn’t make the playoff race any less intriguing.

The West looks like a zoo with 8 teams fighting for the last 7 spots. The Lakers are the only team who have really taken care of business and only 5.5 games separate the #2 seeded Spurs and the #9 Suns. It’s kinda crazy because a team like Houston or Denver could be holding down home court advantage this week, and then by next week not even be in a playoff spot. The East on the other hand is the polar opposite, with all of the top seeds pretty much secured and then 9 teams fighting for the last 3 spots or so.

One of those teams fighting for a playoff birth are the Charlotte Bobcats who have quietly assembled a well-balanced team and are making a subtle push for the post-season. At the time of this writing, they are only 3 games behind 8th place Milwaukee and with 15 of their last 22 games against sub-500 squads, they have a legit shot. The Bobcats went 3-1 last week and have some key guys stepping up. Boris Diaw averaged 22 chips a game over 4 games last week and both Okafor and Crash went for 16 and 9 over that same stretch. Ray Felton also went for 13 and 9 dimes last week and they also have a little bit of depth with guys like Vlad Radmonovic and Raja Bell playing well in addition to the development of D.J Augustin. The only thing that might hinder this squad is the fact that they play back-to-backs in 5 of their next 6 weekends.

Another team in the midst of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt is the Indiana Pacers who have been receiving huge performances from ‘The Ugly Duckling’ Troy Murphy. Murphy could always play (he’s averaging a double-double this year) and he IS getting paid a shitload of money but he’s been playing out of his mind as of late. Over the past week, Murphy averaged 19 chips to go along with 16 boards, capping it off with a 22 and 19 effort against the Nuggs.

So the Pistons brass must’ve read the blog from a few weeks ago and have said that AI will come off the bench once he returns from injury. The Pistons have been playing much better since AI went on the injured list a few games ago and all 5 starters scored in double-figures in their win against Boston on Sunday.

Speaking of Boston, Stephon Marbury is back! Fuck, as if it took this long for that saga in NYC to end. He’s now suiting up for the Celts after the Knicks decided to cut their losses and rid them of the soap-opera that is Starbury. Upon his arrival in Beantown, coach Doc Rivers told him not to worry about fitting with the team when it comes to the game, but to make sure he was fitting in the dressing room. At this point in Steph’s career, I think he’ll take the high road and be glad to accept any role Doc has lined up for him which I’m guessing will be the back-up role behind Rondo. With current back-up Gabe Pruitt taking the boob-of-the-week award for a recent DUI incident, there will be plenty of minutes kicking around for Steph. He dropped 8 pts. and 2 dimes in his Celtics debut on Friday but was much less effective in Sunday’s loss to the Pistons.

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Whoops, I mean Eddie Jones. Remember him? The 2-time all-star who used to kill it with the Lakers in the mid-late 90’s? Well he’s sitting at home right now in quasi-retirement after he started the season injured and just never really found his spot with the Pacers. Well, now that the deadline has passed and teams are looking at the waiver wire to see who they could pick up to help with a playoff surge, would you consider EJ an option? The guy has played 15 seasons, ranks 5th all-time in 3-pointers made and has over 80 playoff games under his belt…and even though his numbers have declined significantly with decreased minutes, he might be good to have around a group of young guys. Whether or not someone picks him up, here’s our ode to EJ…

Did anyone catch Brian Scalabrine getting injured the other night? He ended up with a mild concussion and a strained neck after a defender came down on him after a pump fake. It was kinda hilarious. I tried finding the clip but all I could find was this (which I may have posted a while back)…

So as one superstar goes on the injured list, another is close to a return. Gilbert Arenas is finally practicing with full contact after 3 knee surgeries in the last 2 years. It’s still uncertain whether he’ll suit up for the Wiz this year since their season is already in the tank but it’s good to see Gil at least taking his time to come back. He tried coming back early last year and ended up needing another surgery so my guess is that he’ll wait until next year to make his return…afterall, we all know what happened to T-Mac. While his return is in question, this superfan’s love certainly is not…I’m still not sure what to think haha…

I’m out like Scal…
