The Dirty 30

Pretty much a wordless image.

By Sam Rubenstein

You thought I forgot, didn’t you? Last night I started working on a potential Dirty 30 podcast at home. It was, in short, a complete disaster. I’ll try that again at a later date. Right now I’m working on two other people’s pieces for the website and I want to give them full concentration. For now, a simplified Silent Movie version of the Dirty 30. The numbers in () are the previous spot on the Dirty, and the record in () is that team’s record at the time of the last Dirty 30, which was November 22nd.

    Toronto’s coming up! At first I was going to argue that Cleveland didn’t deserve to be first in the east because, they haven’t been that good (losing to Toronto, the BETcats) but then I realized that every other team in the east is even worse (with the possible exception of the magic). I think Houston’s probably better than Cleveland, making the best team in the east an 8th seed in the west. wow

    Wait, obviously we have a different take on what the exact definition of fading is cause we saw the Celtics last night and if that ain’t faded, you need a ride in the dryer

    What’s hard to believe about Dwight Howard’s play?? He’s really filling in my shaq-drought.

  • Max Airington Posted: Dec.5 at 5:25 pm
    Shaq isn’t in a drought. He’s salted and scorched earth. It’s over. Centers don’t age gracefully. Moses. Cap. Dream. Pat. DRob. Now the Diesel.

    how’d you put washington over jersey?

  • Keith Posted: Dec.6 at 6:44 am
    The Bucks are that high? Man, you guys MUST have lost it. And are Washington that high based on the Gilb factor? I hope so.

  • Brenden Posted: Dec.6 at 5:42 pm
    Your trippin, the Jazz beat San Antonio and are clearly the best team in the NBA as of right now.

    the BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGG 7(CLEAVLAND)

  • troy vincent Posted: May.25 at 7:57 pm
    yo, y r the cavs at # 6. the mavs can choke, but r # 1. bullshit. cavs r the best. they’ll win the chapionship, even if lebron was no to leave. the cavs r underrated. since lebron started playin, the cavs 15 – 0, when lebron dont play. Alexsander (sasha) pavlovic is an awesome guard, who should be on the cover of SLAM, he hits three, the mid range, and the dunk’lay-up. can drive, take the charge, play strong d, and step up when lebron is on becnh, or in foul trouble.

  • Dan Schoedel Posted: Jun.17 at 9:31 pm
    I think the Lakers were at the right page with going into the dirty 30, because they were really good. Their starting line ups are:
    PG-V.Wafer-sucks
    SG-KOBE-AWESOME!!!
    SF-L.Odom-Pretty good
    PF-K.Brown-AWESOME REBOUNDER!!!
    C-C.Mihm-AWESOME REBOUNDER
    OtherPG-S.Vujacic-GOOD Playmaker
    OtherSG-N/A
    OtherSF-L.Walton-AWESOME!!!
    OtherPF-B.Cook-OK
    Otherc-B.Grant
    See, that’s why they are in.
