Drunken Audible
Los Angeles Sports Musings for the Sneaker Inclined. // The Drunken Audible is an RSS feed from CLH and Sharky H. Towers with an emphasis on the Lakers, the National League West, the various Fútbol leagues of the world and how much money we're losing during the NFL season. And shoes.
Xang!
I sure hope Ron-Ron’s clothes make it to Los Angeles
Our President FUCKING SHREDS. Basketball is the source. Deny it at your own peril.
Smush trashes Kobe. I would hate being told I was garbage everyday at work, too. but Kobe was right… just ask the rest of the league who aren’t exactly banging down Smush’s door for his services.
Kobe vs. Artest - The Lost Trashtalk Audio
Awful Announcing Redux
Again with the announcers… upon the officials reviewing a Rockets 3 pointer at the end of the game the Rockets announcers said that if it was Kobe the announcers wouldn’t even bother to check and would just call it a 3. This is a trend. You’d never hear anybody question Jordan’s calls back in the day. Ever. Superstars get the benefits in this league. Kobe ain’t alone in that.
You’d never know that if you were to believe the hack announcers most NBA teams have on the payroll.
NBA League Pass is fine I guess, even if I have to listen to Lakers away games with the opposition’s announcing teams. Most of them are such ridiculous homers it’s just insane. The Portland announcers are no exception. In fact they are the worst. They spent less time calling the game than pointing out how in their mind the Lakers cheat every day of the week and twice on Sunday. My favorite is how one of them said not once, not twice but THRICE how Kobe was going to have to “bring a knife from the bench” if he wanted to get fouls called on him. They also acted as though Trevor Ariza was conducting a mob hit on Rudy Fernandez. That foul was, in fact, ANYTHING but a flagrant two. It was debatable if it was even a flagrant. Ariza clearly played the ball.
It’s too bad Oden wasn’t in the game. I’d love to see these clowns make excuses for him all game long.
