Celtics Beat Magic Again After Being Down 27 Points! (CRAZY COMEBACK)

Wow!  Who saw this one coming?  Actually, the way the game started is exactly how I expected it to go but the ending is what was unexpected.  The C's blew out the Magic on Monday and I assumed the opposite would happen last night down in Orlando.  The game certainly started that way with the C's looking sluggish and going down by 27 points.  I was almost ready to turn the channel for good until they showed some life in the 3rd Quarter.  Then the D woke up in the 4th quarter, shut the Magic down again and everything started rolling.

Pierce was scoring at will and Moore was hitting threes left and right.  Crazy!  I thought Monday night was a fluke but maybe the C's really were just out of shape and needed some time to get their shit together.  I'm heading to the game tonight against the Pacers and I still think there is a chance for a letdown game but it would be nice if they could keep this momentum going.

Here are the highlights from Monday that I forgot to post earlier this week:
I almost forgot to post KG's awesome postgame interview rant with Craig Sager. "Bar Fight!!!"

Blake Griffin's Dunks vs. Lakers; Plus the Fights and Weirdness

RIDICULOUS!  Just when you thought you'd seen every Blake Griffin dunk, he goes and throws down a ridiculous double pump on Bynum.  Nasty!  Here are a few more B. Griff plays from last night:


Along with these highlights, there was also some drama going on during the game last night.  Griffin got in a scuffle with Meta World Peace (aka Ron Artest) and then Pau Gasol started acting like a bitch and trying to mess with Chris Paul.  Instead of coming off tough, he made himself look even douchier than I thought.  He is probably one of the most hate-able players in the league. 

Oklahoma State's Markel Brown's Sick Oop Dunk That Got Him Thrown Out (IDIOT REF)

I know that the NCAA implemented the stare-down rule fairly recently but it's still baffling when the call is made.  I really think there needs to be some more leeway from the refs before they call this shit, especially in a key moment of a big game.  Not only does the kid have a right to get a little fired up after a huge play like this but he literally didn't even do anything.  That was the direction he was already looking in. 

Is he supposed to turn his head immediately?  WTF!?!?  It's not like he was yelling or screaming at the defender.  On top of that, he also got fouled.  Where's the call on that?  I think he actually had the right to complain about that if he wanted to but that's another story.  Just let them play.  Basketball is an emotional sport.  Let them show it once in awhile. 

I have a feeling we'll be seeing more from Markel Brown this year.  Check out this disgusting dunk from the NIT:

Wiz Khalifa Ft. Lola Monroe & Juicy J - "Oh Gee La" (IN STUDIO VIDEO)

DOPE!!!  This is a nice update of The Fugees' "Fu-Gee-La (Ooh-La-La-La)" from back in 1996.  Wiz and company did a nice job of keeping the vibe of the original but giving it a 2011 touch.

I can't believe it's been that freakin' long since that song and the hugely popular The Score first came out. Good lord! I actually listened to that album randomly a few months ago and almost the whole thing still stands up to this day. It was certainly ahead of it's time or maybe it's just timeless. Either way, it's one of the best Group Rap Albums of all time. No question.

Lots-A-Dunks: Blake, D. Jordan, LeBron, Stuckey & Williams (DAMN!)

I don't even know when all of these highlights happened but just assume it was in the past 3 or 4 days.  These are all pretty sick dunks and a few nice passes to go along with them.  Enjoy.

Pacers Mascot Breaks Backboard During Halftime of a High School Game (CLASSIC)

Wow!  This is a gem right here.  It’s pretty cool to see someone break a backboard in person but I would be PISSED if I was on one of the players and couldn’t finish the game because of this joker. I hope the Pacers at least offer to pay for the new backboard and don't make Boomer pay for it because that dude can't be making too much money as the mascot.  It would be a nice PR move for the Pacers too since this video already has over 3 million views and climbing.  

It's not Boomer's fault that the high school had a shitty backboard.  Although, I can't imagine he will be allowed to do this at random events anymore because the chances of this happening again are probably pretty high.  Dude needs to stick to the NBA approved hoops only or the Pacers will be racking up some serious expenses on backboard maintenance... 

Mac Miller - "Of the Soul" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This isn't exactly Mac Miller's best shit but I thought it was decent enough to post.  I think some of his lyrics were a little lazy in this one but the overall song is cool.  It's got a nice laid back flow and the beat is dope with that piano loop and bass line.  I wouldn't mind hearing a few other rappers jump on this beat to see what they could do with it.
