A Few On-Air slip ups from Kenneth Faried and Matt Harpring from last night.

If you have a television or any idea how sports broadcasting works, you know that game are live and people make mistakes. These mistakes depending on severity can cost your job, but in most cases they make for hilarious YouTube clips.

Fresh off the victory over the Orlando Magic, Kenneth Faried was a little surprised to hear that he finished with a ridiculous 19 points and 19 boards in the Pepsi Center.


Nothing really unacceptable, as long as you don't go Shaq mode, you won't run into problems anytime soon.

Kenneth Faried wasn't the only one though, Matt Harpring, a player turned "Analyst," accidentally confessed to drinking an alcoholic beverage during the Charlotte Bobcats vs. Utah Jazz game, which is understandable. If working for the Bobcats doesn't entitle you to alcohol, why is anyone working for them, am I right?


Nice recovery Matt, you totally did not make things worst.

NBA Boxing Day involved some hard fouls.


A few players from the NBA took Boxing Day to a literal level, using various types of boxing during games from last night. To make it right for the victims, let's play a game of "Dirty or Not." The rules are simple, watch the video and determine whether it was "Dirty or Not."

First up from the docket, we have a sad Dwight Howard taking out his frustration on Kenneth Faried.


This was definitely intentional and unnecessary. Dwight is lucky he won't get a suspension because Faried's dreads softened the blow to his head. His Laker teammate, Jordan Hill however, took a full Dwight kick to his face and his hair ccould not help him in any way.

Verdict: Not. Just a hard foul that went the wrong way.

J.R. Smith picked up his own flagrant foul after a sneaky shoulder to the airborne Goran Dragic.


Dragic did not return to the game, thanks to the contusions he received to his wrist, hip and back.

Verdict: Dirty, he purposely ran into Dragic and kept his arms to his side to look like it was unintentional.

I saved the best (in this case, worst) for last, we have Dwyane Wade splitting Ramon Sessions's groin in half.


Ramon Session was a little too chill about this, making me believe the kick wasn't as powerful as shown on the video.

Verdict: Dirty, even though it didn't cause much damage to Ramon's future child-creating endeavors, a man should never lift their leg up to another man's party area.

A Quick NBA Round Up - December 13th, 2012.

Stats Rundown

This is Carmelo Antony's world and we are just living it in. At least it was, until he got injured and had to leave in the third quarter after only playing 23 minutes. He finished the game with 30 points, 22 of which was scored in the 1st quarter. You can watch him score in the video below or settle for the Lakers' impenetrable defense, which is just as good and available in the exact same video.


SHEEEDDD: Scored his 16,000th point on a "Ball Don't Lie" less night. Very disappointed.

Rookie Watch: Damian Lillard is going to win ROY, 29 points (11 of 22 shooting), 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Time Machine User: Kobe Bryant continues to dominate in the losing streak. 31 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in the loss to the New York Knicks.

Old Buddies: Reunited and it feels so good. Both our lower bodies are so screwed.

Sager Suit: That is just too much, too soon. Let the rookie adjust, Craig.

WTF, are you wearing dawg. (Via: @cjzero)
Skates: One of the billion times Damian Lillard dropped Patty Mills. (Via: @cjzero)


It happens again, Patty should either get new shoes or learn to play Tony Parker defense.


Emulating Legends: Kobe Bryant paid tribute to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Michael Jordan goes one on one with the Bobcats.


His defense has lost a step, but his footwork is still mean. It has to be right? Who else teaches the jab step for like the entire practice.

The Round Up - December 5th, 2012.

Stats Rundown:

What a weird day in the NBA, the best players were the losers last night. This whole week of NBA hasn't been great, not a lot of  two +0.500 team playing each other (except for Thunder vs. Nets). And even though we get the Knicks against the Heat today, Melo might be out with an injury. Boo.

Boards: Tyson Chandler dethrones Anderson Varejao from his usual honor with 17 rebounds, 18 points (8 of 10 from the field) and the win over the Charlotte Bobcats Hornets.

On the other hand, Andy tied Kevin Love for the 10th straight game with 15 or more rebounds, which is the longest streak in the last 10 years.

Dishin': Kyle Lowry is the best Raptors point guard of all time, 34 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds in the loss to the Sacramento Kings.

Mr. Perfect: Ty Lawson went 5 for 5 from behind to arc to finish with 32 points, 7 assists and 5 steals in the loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Rookie Watch: Why do I even bother to do this when Damian Lillard is playing, just another 23 points to go with his 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Join the Club: Kobe Bryant (29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals) becomes the youngest player to join the 30,000 point club, ironically he did it against the team that drafted him. Boy, are the Hornets Pelicans sad.

Bro Love: Stop it, not in front of the camera dawg. (Via: @cjzero)


Lob City: If you missed the Mavs and Clippers game, you missed a real life 48 minutes of NBA JAM.



In with the New: New Clipper greets the Old Clipper.


Chub Flub: Fatty Lamar Odom blows a lay up in the worst way. He must still feel like he is in debt to the Dallas Mavericks.


Gross: Carmelo's finger must have spewing bloof out of his finger for a veteran like Jason Kidd to react in this manner. (Via: @cjzero)


Not in my house: The Bobcats don't like it when you get too close to their basket. Commence the finger wag.


#STARER: J.R. Smith stood by his hash tag, and stared at nothing for a really long time after hitting the game winner.


SHEEEEEDDDD: It takes alot of effort for Kurt Thomas to get up, so if he did, he is either getting his 5 minutes of playing time, or really excited for something. Too bad that's not how Sheed feels, your step back fade away to win the game does not impress a man of his standards. (Via:@johnschuhmann)


Foot Note: I know I am a little bit behind on the games, but the Clipper vs. Jazz should be up in a few hours. The Thunder vs. Nets game will also be up a bit later. The games last night were horrible, besides the Knicks and Bobcats game, nothing else deemed entertaining. There weren't anything note worthy, so I decided to summarize it in the following paragraph.

Charlotte's sole strategy was to double Melo, and force a lot of New York three pointers. It worked, NY shot 42 percent from the field (31 percent from three). The game got even closer when Melo left the game with a lacerated finger thanks to Chris Copeland for not catching his team's superstar (With or without Melo, you are not going to see more playing time. In fact, you only get playing time because of Melo are killing other teams, sucks for you). With 5 seconds left, tied up at 98, the Bobcats turned the ball over (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) and J.R. Smith hit the game winner.

The Round Up - December 3rd, 2012.

Stats Rundown:

Blake Griffin scored a season high 30 points (14 of 20) and 11 rebounds in the victory over the Utah Jazz.

Honorable Mentions: To LaMarcus Aldridge's 25 points (12 of 17), 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. Mo Williams had 20 points (7 of 11) and 12 assists against the Clippers.

Boards: Can someone box out Andy please, Varejao got the usual 18 rebounds (9 Offensive), to go with his 17 points, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the win over the Detroit Pistons. Get him to the All Star game.

Rookie Watch: Damian Lillard didn't shoot too well, 6 of 16 from the field and still got 24 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists in the overtime victory against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Damaged: Look below to see why Ronny seems so troubled. (Via: @cjzero)


Deja Vu: Jeremy Evans reminds Ronny Turiaf of what it feels like to be dunked on. Poor Ronny just recently recovered from the preseason trauma, now he has to go to the therapists to stop the nightmares from recurring.


Franchise Records: Something tells me that the Los Angeles Clippers records weren't set that high. Jamal Crawford just shattered the consecutive free throws made streak with 45.

Game Winning Flop: I guess just being part of the Clippers rubbed off on Chauncey Billups, but if you ask him about that play, it was just veteran smarts. (Via: @BeckleyMason)


Creativity: What is with the self passes nowadays? Remember the good ol' days where you pass off the backboards. This must be the future, we are using the opponent's body now.


Don't Call it a Comeback: The Portland Trailer Blazers came back from a 18 point deficit in the last five minutes of the game to bring it into another overtime, where they beat the Charlotte Bobcats by 6.

As expected, the Toronto Raptors do not possess the ability to win close games, even after cutting a 17 point lead to one in the fourth quarter with 2 minutes to go, they still fell to the Denver Nuggets.

Ben "Threes" Gordon: His 29 points (9 of 16 shooting, 8 of 12 from three), 3 rebounds and 5 assists against the Blazers got him to the 10,000th point mark.

Innocent Bystander: The Bobcats were channeling their inner Jordan today, how else am I suppose to explain this Byron Mullens dunk on LaMarcus Aldridge.



Magic vs. Lakers will be uploaded soon, as well as Clippers vs. Jazz. Stay tuned.

Jordan Crawford almost got away with shooting Jan Vesely's free throws.


Oh, man. Jordan Crawford almost pulled one on the referee. You can't blame them, who seriously pays attention to a Washington Wizards and Charlotte Bobcats game. Even the announcers didn't notice until Jan Vesely bricks to two free throws. Do they practice this? I mean it looked so natural, almost like Jan Vesely knew instantly what Jordan Crawford tried to do. I think we can just conclude that Jordan just really likes to shoot the basketball, which speaks for his "great" shot selections in games.
