Worst....Team....Ever

The 2008-09 Indiana Pacers are the worst basketball team I've ever seen.

There, I've said it. And no I'm not overreacting to the team losing six of its past seven games after the amazing Laker win (which becomes more amazing with each passing loss). Ok, so maybe I'm being a little crazy about this. I mean they could definitely beat the freshman AAU team that I coached for one game and consequently lost one game by like 932 points. So the Pacers could beat that team...but it'd be close.

Last night was the first meeting between the Raptors (who now have Jermaine O'Neal) and the Pacers (who now have T.J. Ford, Rasho and Hibbert). O'Neal sucked but it doesn't compare to the ultimate suck job that Ford displayed on the court. Ford had four points and four assists. (Here he is pictured pointing at his stat line while providing an maniacal laugh at Larry Bird) Ugh. Remember the good ole' days when Ford came so close to nabbing three straight triple-doubles. Oh you don't? That's probably because it happened at the beginning of the season before the Pacers had strangled the life out of its team because its point guard's headband isn't letting enough blood to his ill-formed head.

Whatever. I'm over it. No I'm not. Where the hell is Mike Dunleavy and can Bird get a real effin doctor on this team to cure the bastard. I mean Magic Johnson had freakin AIDS and he was back on the court playing that summer in the 1992 Olympics. You gotta Man Up Mikey.

Ok, I feel better...on to the links...

Look Ma, I can read a photo!
Because Joel hasn't updated his blog in a month (agast!) , I was going to put one of his photos from Sportshooter on here (the one of the coach glaring down his bench is tremendous) to help his fans out a little bit. But of course the photography site doesn't let you save photos b/c people might actually want to save photos they like and that's not good for anybody. So here's the damn link.

2 minutes...2-ah
Well the 08-09 Pacers (see above) have kinda fallen off of the pace of the 93-94 Pacer sqaud that made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. That team ran off five wins in six games in the middle of December to have a record of 10-11. This year's team is currently sitting 13th in the East with a 7-14 record. But there's good news people. The 93-94 team went a wall and skidded into January losing six of seven games. Those Pacers were 11-17 at the beginning of January. So you're telling me there's a chance.

Hello Mr. Radio
The new cover of GQ...enjoy

I just wanted to make sure that you saw yer boi getting ripped by his coach this week.

Info for Bo
I really thought that the new CEO of Dunkin was gonna be you. I figured you knew about it all along and this whole "financial aid" and "quitting dunkin only to be rehired" thing was just some sick joke and that really you were leading one of the only companies not firing 90 percent of their employees. But apparently that is not the case. But Nigel says he's taking Dunkin to the next level and I assume that you'll be meeting him there.

You tube...no, you're a tube
Have to give a shoutout to the sister of this blogger for finding this gem of a scene from a Pinky and the Brain episode. If Pinky and the Brain or Animaniacs weren't apart of your childhood then give yourself a Christmas miracle and make it a part of your life right now starting with this tremendous nod to the Beatles. Yoyo Nono actually sounds better than Yoko's real singing. Enjoy.

i never realized how much me and the Brain had in common, i also feel that you are dealing with a lot of repressed anger about our current pacer squad, i suggest you do what i do and just watch every youtube clip of the reggie miller generation that you can get your hands on

I read GQ.

Also, sorry about the Pacers being the worst team ever.

Props to your sister for giving you that video. It was too funny.

Also, I would like to make a correction to your blog. Instead of using your old AAU team as an example of a tough game for the Pacers, you should have used the example of IU's bball team winning against the Pacers. Now that would be saying something.
