“The Turk & Dart Adams Show” aka Lakers Vs. Celtics Game Post

No mention of the Celtics winning their 18th straight game to go 26-2 while the Lakers have dropped two straight?
==========================
Nobody cares till the playoffs, Dart.In theory…yes. But I’m talking about where are all of the Laker and Cavs stans at right now? TSS will do NBA drop and the C’s get minimal love meanwhile they’re breaking longstanding records and having a historic season.
I can’t front. With the NFL playoffs about to start, it’s hard to concentrate on the NBA right now.
That being said, barring injury, malaise, or something tragic, the Celtics are on pace to go 76-6 and break the ’95-’96 Bulls record of 72-10. But if everything remains the same, the Cavs could advance to 70-12 –falling short of the record by two games. While these teams are on historic tracks, what will it mean in terms of history? Because on the flipside, the Oklahoma City Thunder are set to go 9-73, tying them with the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers for the worst record in NBA history.
So what does this say about the current state of the league?
In trying to channel my inner John Hollinger , I compared the winning percentage for the whole league when the Bulls set the win record and the projected winning percentage of the entire league stayed on their current paces for the rest of the year. Both ended up being 50%, suggesting that the talent levels would be the same. To some degree, the league is a lot younger and inexperienced now with the influx of underclassmen joining the league earlier now than in the late ‘90’s. But the migration of European players has to deter this somewhat. I personally think that teams don’t play as hard from game to game, but that’s debatable. Seeing how the expansion teams joined the league during the ’95-’96 Bulls team run and there’s only been one team (Charlotte Bobcats) added since, the talent pool can’t be too diluted because only roughly 15-20 players total have been added to the mix.
I was hoping the stats would show some huge discrepancy to discredit what the Celtics are doing. But the numbers don’t and if the Celts do set the record, I think that we’ll have to give them their due. It will by no means crown them the best team to ever lace up in NBA history, but I think they’d deserve to be in the discussion. However, that’s another discussion in itself, because it’s hard to compare teams across eras on an even slope. So KG, Jesus, & The Truth: if your team does for some reason break the record, I’ll be one of the first to congratulate and vouch for you. While I’m still partial to MJ & the Jordanaires, the avid sports fan in me will take history whenever and wherever I can get it. So I’ll DVR the game today and catch up with y’all again in February.
Because in the infamous words of Mercury Morris: “Ya’ll are in the neighborhood, but you ain’t on the street yet.”

In the spirit of this cold, recession-plagued giving season, I wanted to share this little gem that I got from Nes himself for the exhibit. It’s a full, uncut episode of Fresh Tracks that aired circa 1985, featuring Nes hosting and Mix-A-Lot rapping (dissing UTFO?). And scratching. Alot. I wasn’t around to hear this when it aired, but Nes was always that dude to me when I started tuning into Rap Attack on KCMU 90.3 (pre-KEXP days).

^^^^^^^^The KFox Freshtracks is worth checking out. K-Fox was THE station in Seattle back in the day, even though it was on the AM dial.
It’s pretty funny to hear Mix-A-Lot talking about computers back in 1985…and dissing UTFO. …and calling girl Ducks…lol..It’s back when he called himself a DJ and not a rapper.
Shit is dope though…A nice moment in time from 85.
Couple more joint’s outta Seattle..

Men lie.
Women lie.
Turks gravie lies.
Numbers don’t.
…..and Odom hums “Heartless” to himself in the 4th quarter of every game.
When Lamar Odom and Undftd designed those godawful T shirts they really thought deep down in their hearts that the Lakers were gonna beat the Celtics. I was the lone Hip Hop blogger that wrote a NBA Playoffs preview that explained exactly why the Boston Celtics were gonna win. I was right and damn near every NBA analyst and expert was wrong.

The moral of the story? Can’t nobody fuck with me. Hopefully, the Lakers find out that they STILL can’t fuck with the Celtics tonight. They might actually show up to play @ 5.
One.
Lets have this convo AFTER All Star weekend…. nothing really matters now…
@ Boogie Tonight:
I’ll have this convo then AND now. It’s time for me to drop a few Boston anthems to get my peoples hyped before the game (I had to stop myself here or else it could’ve got ridiculous).
First put your hands over your hearts for the Boston National Anthem and then enjoy a few other Boston classics!

======================================================
LMAO
Especially the humming @ the end of the song.
LA all day
LA you muthafucks!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS PHOENIX
been a lakers fan all since kobe went there real talk thats talkin back to 97 98 an yea we winnin the chip this year the celtics gotta get passed a Cavs an Hawks teams that drove em to 7 games an got better this year
Fouls on Lebron is the only reason Big Baby still has a roster slot.
I bet my friend that the Lakers wouldn’t break the Bulls record, so I’m pretty excited to hear any news about the Lakers losing.
Laker fans sound like Cowboys fans these days. Y’all sound ridiculous “giving” yourselves the title every regular season, but aside from leading the league in preseason picks to be the champion, what merits all this “rah-rah”?
Odom, Gasol, Sa-fcukin’-sha???…
You really gonna bet loot on these guys?
Seriously?
BOS 24 LAL 23 End 1st
Rondo and Perk in foul trouble? The C’s need to run yesterday and play some goddamn defense. This half court offense bullshit is corny.
One.
The Celtics ain’t doin’ shit right now. Mark Wahlberg is right next to Kevin James and Adam Sandler.
One.
Beat L.A.
On the plane with Funk Doc Spock aka Reggie Noble bka Redman… with no security or entourage…
The Lakers actually showed up to play tonight I see. Too bad the Celtics haven’t shown up yet to face the challenge. Hopefully they’ll make some adjustments in the second half.

Cool. Ask him how to cure a runny nose. I need help this Xmas…
all-star break will be the tell all. 76-6 is a helluva record.
Won’t happen even with as weak as the East is nowadays.

OK Im here and Dart cant say shit at the half!!!!!
Speaking of the God Awful shirts (So true Dart but on GP I had to get one)……. CHECK THE GRAVIE!!!!!!
The Lakers are playing better and putting forth defensive effort like they want it more. The Celtics are simply trying to stay in the game and compete long enough to put a run together. This half court offense shit ain’t gettin’ it, though.
Defense=transition baskets
RUN!
One.

Yea, I think TSS did one a couple years back, but we need an update….

HUH???
D Fish and Kobe got dust on them championship rings, and the rest of the squad is….saying…..WHAT….. exactly???
Brian Scalabrine got more rings than 97% of the Lakers.
Lemme not forget Luke Walton….he got a dusty old championship ring too.
^
That’s pertaining to the Celtics breaking the Bulls record. Not rings.
AND-1!!
Yea, white boy….
ps: BEAT L.A.!!!
Im sorry, Im confused, what is Eddie House doing shooting at that point?
I understand he averages, approx, %38 from the field, %42 from the 3-point line, and %92 from the line but no way no how is he a clutch shooter!!
The Lakers actually showed up and played with some goddamn heart for a change. The Celtics need to beat the Cavaliers now more than ever. No excuses. Don’t blame the refs. The Celtics got outtoughed, outplayed and flat out BEATEN tonight.
I tip my hat to those guys, it’s about time. Now they gotta HUGE game vs. the Cavs Jan. 9th and a rematch against the Lakers Feb. 5th. The Celtics should be commended for the run but they really picked the wrong goddamn day to not show up.
One.
@ MZ
Oh.
Regular season milestones?…
You get a OJ prize for that?
Thought so…word to the Patriots

Did you even READ any of my responses in this thread? I pretty much shit on the Celtics and praised the Lakers with every post. I didn’t even say the Celtics would definitely win…I said “hopefully they show up”.
The Lakers blew out the Hornets and had a players only team meeting…none of that adds up to the Celtics airing them out before the game, homie. Get ta readin’.
See ya February 5th and nice try.
One.
True, but…
Good game, Dart!
*slaps Dart on the ass*
^ pause?
^ nah, no pause needed…
it’s one of those manly, assertive pats, lol
