Quarter the Fourth: It's Electrifying Boogaloo


-Well, YB's at the game--he has his face painted and is holding a sign that says "STephen JacksoN sucks(T)!"--and Sig is currently busy repairing the balloons on his pots that sea lions tore up and fighting fifty-foot seas, so it's down to the third team for the fourth quarter. OSR and JDJ both politely declined blogging.

-I was challenged to present the entire fourth-quarter in poetic form. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with Harpring besides "carp sting," and I think any carp sting survivor would tell you it's not a funny experience.

-Stephen Jackson needs to be frisked after every trip to the bench for the rest of the game. And Harp just made the Jazz 0-4 on flagrant and technical fouls. Nothing will come of that, I'm sure.

-Is "basically" three or four syllables?

-Nelson just asked his team to "stop doing those stupid things." Stephen Jackson responded by gently enfolding Nelson in an embrace, whispering, "Would you tell the wind to stop blowing?," and gently knifing him seven times in the gut.

-Kevin Harlan repeats "big shot" twice before revving up Harlan-Voice for "BY BARON DAVIS." I wonder if he gets really excited about menial events at home.

"And Kevin Harlan MISSES THE RIM. There's urine ALL OVER THE FLOOR."

This might be the single stupidest thing I've posted in a liveblog.

-"‹bordelais7› only hicks pronounce "basically" in 3 syllables "

I reckon he's right.
Dumb Kentucky dialect.
Man, I need a grog.

-AK full-on sprints full-court to strip Matt Barnes before hitting a game-tying free throw. Fisher dives to get the ball. Harlan: "FISHER DOES IT AGAIN." Kirilenko wonders what he has to do to get some credit on this team.

-The Boozer yell is becoming the Jazz equivalent of the Wilhelm Scream.

-I wish Sig had a motorcycle.

-A Brief Moment of Positivity: Fisher was the most significant factor in the Jazz winning last game and has made some good plays in this game. It might even cancel out his almost single-handedly losing two games earlier in the playoffs. And I'm sure he'll work out all the kinks in his game by the end of his contract in three years.

-Fisher hits a three to put the Jazz up five.

...

-Late whistle as a referee realizes that Baron Davis just drove on Deron and he didn't call a foul. Contractual obligations and all that.

-Speaking of referees, I really dig the way Steve Javie does his hair in the shape of Ming the Merciless' skullcap.

-Collins: "Don Nelson could not ask for a better script in this game, down one with three minutes to go." I'm not sure about this, but I think Nelson wouldn't mind being up 30 or so.

-Judging by the ball-handling on the last few possessions, the backing music for the last two minutes of gameplay should be Entry of the Gladiators by Fucik.

A.)No, it's not a cool song. It's the clown song. The "do do doodle-oodle do do dooo-do..." song.

B.)Yes, I know the man had an unfortunate last name, but we can't pick those, now, can we?

-Judging from the hairstyles, Okur, Biedritch, AK, and Javie would make a killer New Wave band.

-Congratulations to the chick with pink hair for completing Stage Four on Ninja Warrior two years in a row.

-I couldn't see clearly, but AK just reacted like Matt Barnes tazed him as he went for a rebound.

-Collins lauding Sloan for giving AK some "tough love" and putting his arm around him. Here's what 80% of Sloan's comments regarding AK were during his down period: "I don't know, I haven't talked to him."

Coach of the Year.

-Stephen Jackson's eyeballs just exploded with a pleasing *piff* noise.

-Okur should try to dunk it on this possession.

-Ballgame, Jazz win, 100-87. Jazz move on to the WCF. I thought the Rockets were fairly over-rated and Golden State was a thinly-disguised mediocre team. Spurs/Suns will be the first contest with a team that's close to championship calibre. Predicting 4-2, Spurs/Suns. Direct all "told-you-so"s to HarpringSucks.com.


-As a final comment:

Twenty years later...
