L.O.N. — The French Pastry

The favorites get back on track.

Tony Parker

Line Of The Night:

Tony Parker — 38 points, 8 assists, 4 boards, 2 steals

We could hear C-Webb’s “French laugh” all the way over here on the Left Coast. With new episodes of Desperate Housewives finally back on the air, guess Tony could concentrate on the matter at hand — the Playoffs. He bounced back with a score-at-will performance in Game 2 to get the Spurs back on track. This is the franchise that lost Game 1 in the opening round of each of their last 3 championship runs, so maybe it was simply part of the master plan.

Worst Of The Night:

Dirk Nowitzki — 14 points on 3-14 shooting, 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals

Not only did the Dallas role players not bring it in Game 2, neither did the big guns, especially Dirk. But no one is shocked by that, right? At least he put up some shots, Josh Howard was completely Styles P out there.

Oscar Robertson Of The Night:

Rajon Rondo — 19 points, 16 assists, 12 boards, 5 steals

Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

ooondooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo was putting it down, getting it in, laying it down, whatever you want say, in Game 2. So while Derrick Rose did not repeat his absurd offensive Playoff debut, he did repeat in allowing Rondo to do pretty much whatever he wanted all game. And that was in spite of a nasty looking leg turn near the end of the 1st half. With Leon Powe set to miss some time, the C’s will be in serious trouble if that ankle knocks Rondo out for any amount of time.

Last Shot Wins Of The Night:

And Ray Allen and the Celtics got the last shot. In a sick, sick mano-e-mano showcase down the stretch, Allen went head up against fellow Husky Ben Gordon. Gordon wa Ben & Ray s hot earlier and longer, but Allen was hot later and last. Shouldn’t the Bulls have gotten the ball in Gordon’s hands at any cost for that last shot with 2 seconds left, even if it was a heave?

Sally’s Got A One Track Mind Of The Night:

Ben Gordon — 42 points, 1 board, 1 steal

“I’m focused, maaaan”. It’s hard work to grab only 1 board in 44 minutes.

Coach Of The Year Of The Night:

Congrats to Mike Brown who lead the Cavs to the best record in the league this year to take down this award. And by “lead the Cavs to the best record” we mean “had LeBron on his team.” In related news, Joe Smith rapping the Cavs Playoff Anthem? What? Huh? More on this to come…

What’s better, Brad Meezy doing the Tim Thomas-Tony Yayo-DeShawn Stevenson-I Can’t Feel My Face Hand, or Joakim Noah doing it after Meezy nails a three?… On 04/20, when Mike Fratello says that Drew Gooden is “a high energy player”, it has a whole ‘nother meaning. Word to Asher Roth… Are those guys in the Heineken ad screaming for the beer, or screaming because they just saw that damn Popeye’s Chicken ad for the 3,912th time in one night? It hurts our soul to see Starbury passing up open shots… Best-dressed on the C’s bench — K.G. or Scalabrine?… Can the sideline reporter PLEASE fills us in on the candy situation behind the Spurs’ bench?

Here in France every single media is in love to Tony Longoria. He was born in Belgium and his parents are from the U.S. and the Netherlands, but he’s one hundred percent French.
matt the jazz fan Posted: Apr.21 at 9:40 am
if/until he’s caught doing something wrong (steroids, drugs whatever) then he becomes belgian origin. sort of like ben johnson went from canadian champion to jamaican born cheater in 4 hours in seoul way back in ‘88… i’m just sayin’
Coach Master Posted: Apr.21 at 9:46 am
Rondo creds all around. He took it to the belly of the beast and no one stopped him. Bulls in 6
Z Posted: Apr.21 at 9:50 am
good looking on that, matt! that was some sneaky media type ish! and noticed that they never said a word about donovan bailey’s origins after atlanta too. nope, born and raised in oakville, ontario with some loyalists blood in his veins. lol

Absolutely, Monsieur Pierre.
Hisham Posted: Apr.21 at 10:11 am
Yeah Parker’s mom is a total dutch M I L F.
Hisham Posted: Apr.21 at 10:14 am
TP LEARNED TO BALL EVA IN THE USA

‘McGrady was asked while on an Atlanta talk-radio station for his NBA title pick, and he did not hesitate to pick the Lakers.’ I wish I could make this stuff up.
ciolkstar Posted: Apr.21 at 10:24 am
Tony P is the best scoring PG in the game.
And I think the Bulls can still win their series, but they’ll need to take care of business at home because I don’t see them winning a game seven in Boston.
Rondo is ridic. He’s been putting up crazy lines for the last month with two sprained ankles. He falls down to much when he drives to the basket, but dude is a lot tougher than he gets credit for.
Z Posted: Apr.21 at 10:24 am
The story is on Hoops Hype. He picked the team that is going to face the Rockets in the 2nd round if they get through Portland. He also said that Kobe was better than LeBron because LeBron is unselfish.
Darksaber Posted: Apr.21 at 10:31 am
Tracy who?
Superman Osman Posted: Apr.21 at 10:31 am
LOL@ Hisham Mama Parker has the good stuff eh?
Sally should be packing her bags by now, because the sh*t is ridiculous. What do you mean 1 assist? You’re a god damn 2 gaurd, even Big Baby had more assists than that material girl
nate the great Posted: Apr.21 at 10:40 am
tracy is a dumbass!
Darksaber Posted: Apr.21 at 10:45 am
Tony’s Ma is more wholesome and kind looking than a m.i.l.f. His Dad though, the definition of a great looking, distinguished elder gentleman. Tony (and Eva) must be hoping for those genes as TP gets older.
Darksaber Posted: Apr.21 at 10:48 am
So in Tracy’s mind, the selfish player is the better one? Wow, go play Tennis already. It’s allll on ya then Mcgrady.
ciolkstar Posted: Apr.21 at 10:59 am
I honestly sort of hope McGrady doesn’t play in the NBA ever again. He’s no longer good enough to justify his attitude/aloofness.
Hisham Posted: Apr.21 at 10:59 am
Darksaber, you aren’t secretly Greek are you?
Darksaber Posted: Apr.21 at 11:04 am
oh please Hish, get outta here with that. To be honest i wish i’d look like that in my 60’s. Dude is probably swimming in Tail.
RV Posted: Apr.21 at 12:42 pm
I hate on tmac a lot, but sometimes fans do spin stuff, he didnt actually say Kobe was better because he’s selfish, the question was who was the single toughest player to stop, he answered Kobe because Kobe wants to take you down himself, but lebron is unselfish…in other words, from a one on one scenario, Lebron is more likely to pass, so it’s easier on his defender. He also picked Lebron is the MVP this year..

Tony is sporting the Nike Zoom Fight Club. Loads of backcourt guys are wearing em since last week (Iggy, OJ, TP, even Dampier). Seem to be catching on fast in the League.
