The Tragedy of T-mac

Though the epic fail T-mac pulled on that layup attempt Steve posted was hilarious, I feel like I've got to get Tracy's back on this one. The guy is going through a rough time right now (personally and professionally) and I don't think we should all be hating on him. First of all, T-mac's self-stuff was NOT the most pathetic lay-up ever performed by a professional basketball player - that distinction belongs to David Wesley:

Secondly, T-mac's knee is not the only thing causing him pain as Yao apparently has "had just about enough" of his absences and injuries. If T-mac gets shipped out of Houston then we will never again get to see exchanges like this one:

That kind of touching man-love is almost unheard of outside of Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer's relationship in Two and a Half Men. So I think we can excuse T-mac for that Rapper Willy-esque layup this one time - he was probably thinking about how he's never going to get invited back to dinners like this one.

Finally let's all just celebrate T-mac doing something that everyone can enjoy... stomping all over the Spurs.

More good than clutch..sometimes neither

While the first half of a year can often painfully drag on like an episode of Two and a Half Men, the two leagues are finally getting to the final 30 or so games. In the NHL playoff race: in the East, there are 7 times fighting it out for 5 final spots. In the West, the last 4 playoff spots are virtually up for grabs with all 11 lower teams. In the NBA...who cares? There are two teams the Lakers could play in the finals, making all but the final series more pointless than an episode of, well, Two and a Half Men.

Most unclutch plays:



I don't know exactly where he was going with this idea but he had a change of heart. Unlike this man. Who has no heart. But this was at the beginning of the game..for a fail of a more epic variety:



But perhaps basketball can win this one after all with a clutch performance from:



More comical than Jake at his most hilarious.
