HOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!

And in lieu of this return we give our thanks for...

The irony of NBA Cares commercials...

CP3 making lemonade

The endless effort on the part of TNT to get us to watch Leverage...

And HawthoRNe...

And Saving Grace...

And whatever garbage Tyler Perry is up to now

Slap fights

Dunk shots

A McHale-free Timberwolves

Sir Charles

'Marv'elous

Rondo in a contract year

Frantically clearing cap-space for the Free Agent class of 2010

D. Wade's football pads

A healthy Gilbert Arenas...

Wait, is he actually healthy?

Isiah Thomas being nowhere in sight

An awesome rookie class

The Timberwolves 4 guard lineup

Poohdini's Playhouse

Craig Sager's wardrobe

Fluorescent Gatorade sweat

Ray Ray's Treys

Hating Kobe

Loving Kobe

Overly dramatic NBA self-promotion commercials

Marion on the Mavs

"THROW IT DOWN, BIG MAN!" 

The continued Liberation of Darko

3-way fantasy madness

The hype and inevitable letdown that is the OKC Thunder

And the joy of watching the entire process

Heat fans pretending to care

Jack Nicholson in a bearable role

Herpesface trying to take the Celtics team plane hostage on the way back to Boston tonight.

The Splendor that is Smooth B.

Realizing that the Kings still exist.

JZA the genius

The first-ever Triple Alley-Oop:  Mo Williams on the break, lofts it up to LeBron slashing down the wing, puts it off the backboard for Jamario Moon trailing down the lane, who leaves it up for Shaq who's been standing under the basket the whole time.

Ricky Rubio.  

Nevermind.

Tyrus Thomas entering the final stages of the Valmorphanizer and actually becoming the offspring Stromile Swift and Hakim Warrick.

Below .500 teams making the playoffs.

David Lee winning the MVP over Lebron...

And Kobe.

The Pistons as the new Warriors.

More admissions of homosexuality

And probably from George Karl
