Oh yeah. This is sweet. Blogging, Lakers/Spurs, stoned, Duke/MichSt. Yeaaahhhhh.
I'm going to take a major copyright risk and test an idea here.

During the beginning of the second half of Dk/MiSt game, the play-by-play commentator made a comment about how michigan state's center ought to play more fluidly, react to the game, and maybe get angry a little bit. Dick Vitale one-upped him, "You gotta play to your nature, some people are introverted and some people are extroverted and you just have to be yourself and play like yourself." And I thought, damn, commentators are just like the game of (name your own sport) that they commentate on, battling each other in the off-court contest of wits and tongue.

Aren't they just like
all the MCs
battlin' and droppin'
beats and rhymn's
soul and taste em'?
On the life stage of the straight chillin'
ah shit lost it. in'

So here's an idea for sports entertainment. How about instead of two white guys talking about 10 black guys, have two black guys, no, two flowing brotha's (or even better, sista's) represent fans on each side, researching all the stats and the stories of the game just like the commentators today, and just freestyle against each other?

You can market this "product" easily. Say get a copy of old games and just find two rappers who like sports, which I'm sure it's not hard to find given all the retro jerseys I see, and lay down the track and sell'em? I should get a Creative Common on this one.

4 and a half to go, let's try some literal, typewrittin' game commentary. How many blocks does Shaq have? God, it must feel pretty shitty to be Nesterovic right now when your man is just swattin' the shots of just about every single one of your teammates. ut still La is only up by 81, this is a pretty close game. Momentum shifts, change that, the momentum is floating about and both teams are tryin' to change that and thake possession of it, rip it down like an out of key rebound. That's the difference between the NBA game and the college game. Once a team gets even a double digit lead it is impossible to come back, momentum is strong once you grasp it, you have less pressure to make every single shot...unless you have the Laker/Duke defense. Duke 59 MSU 36 with 6.5 to go. God they're good when they can take their time. Sure Kryswivky (I'm guessing that the Duke coach'll must've had lots of trouble making people remember the spelling of his name) The Lakers can't score though. this is a must score situation....but they do know how to get to the freethrow line. Kobe is learnin' it now from Karl, instead of taking it to the rack. God I never seen Kobe headfake so much in his vain attempt against Bowen to draw a jump shot foul....Bowen is smart, he fell for that one just 2 possessions ago and he's learnin' fast. SportsWriters don't give enough credit for the smarts of some of these NBA players.

I've lost steam, even the most stubborn of all run-on sentences has a way of doing that.

Holy shit, Shaq has 9 blocks. Literally (I had no idea earlier, but he really did, no just seem to, reject every Single Spur...replays of blocks were only shown on the Spur starting lineup). Lakers up 4, with 13.5 seconds to go, the game is, unlike college basketball, in the fridge and the egg is gettin hard and the jellow is jigglin. Well, college is got that short 3-point line, speaking of which Charlotte just made a big 3 down 1 against Alabama, on the big play replay. I love college basketball season. But even with that college 3-point line MichSt still can't overcome a 22 point lead--that's how good Duke's defense is. Okay, that's a wrap.

Maybe I should treat this bloggin' a bit less like mental masturbation. But then again, what isn't when you're stoned?
