nah, we’re just kidding….but you can buy his book here.

Who doesn’t. But Charles might need to hope these playoff series keep going 7 games for a little OT.

David Stern has laid down the gauntlet and promised to crack down on noise and smoke during NBA games. But that doesn’t mean he’s take the BOOYAH out of the NBA!

New York, N.Y. (WYHU) - Family and friends are saying goodbye to the career of a once-respected basketball coach whose greed hijacked his prospects for future employment.

A Mass of Christian Burial for Mike D’Antoni of SoHo was held Friday morning at the Nativity of the Blessed Dollar Church on Park Avenue.

The remains of D’Antoni’s career were identified by Cleveland State University officials, who offered him a coaching job, last week.

D’Antoni’s career had been missing since it was kidnapped by a massive contract offer made by spoiled rich kid Knicks Owner James Dolan. 

D’Antoni’s spiritual adviser, Donald Trump, spoke about the frustrations of one having his cake and eating it, too.

“Greed is good.  I just made that up now.  Off the top of my head.  Yes….greed is good.  And Mike followed the greed.  And that was good.  What wasn’t good was his roster.  Frankly, that sucked.  And honestly, we found out that coaches don’t mean jack-shit if the roster sucks.

But I digress.

So now that Jimmy Dolan has said ‘You’re Fired’….I made THAT line up, too, incidently…only Cleveland State will hire him now.  Rest in peace Mike D’Antoni’s career.  Rest in peace.”

Close to one thousand people, representing all remaining Knicks season ticket holders, attended the funeral where there was standing room only.

The NBA admitted Chauncey Billups’ three-point shot at the end of the third quarter of Monday’s Detroit-Orlando playoff game should not have counted, but said referees weren’t allowed to review instant replay to determine that.

League president Joel Litvin also said the disputed shot, which gave Detroit a 78-76 lead in its 100-93 victory, could not have been replayed after a clock malfunction was discovered.

“After reviewing the video of last night’s Pistons-Magic game, we determined that the play that concluded with Chauncey Billups’ three-point field goal at the end of the third quarter took approximately 5.7 seconds,” Litvin said in a statement. “Because there were only 5.1 seconds remaining in the quarter when the play began, the shot would not have counted had the clock continued to run.

“The referees followed proper procedure in addressing the clock malfunction by estimating the elapsed time and using their judgment as to whether the shot was taken in time. Under NBA rules, the referees did not have the option of using instant replay and a timing device to determine exactly how much time had elapsed, nor do the rules allow for a replay after a clock malfunction is discovered.”

WTF?

(Thanks to the guys here for giving me room in the shelter tonight. It’s much obliged.)

Tonight in Boston, the Celtics took the air out of the Hawks’ party with a by-the-numbers 25-point win. Just like, the night before, the Pistons told the Sixers to turn off the lights and go to bed already with their own Game 5 spankdown. And the temptation is to take games like those and have them color your memory of the earlier games in the series, so much so that you don’t really give Joe Johnson his due for utterly dismantling the Celts in Game 4, or the Sixers for making the Pistons look old, tired and disinterested in 2 of the first 3 games in their series.

Here’s a Spoiler Alert for anyone who is watching sports: it’s going to end badly for you. Either your team will lose before a championship has been achieved, or (very rarely) they’ll win, but fail to defend their title in a heartbreaking fashion at some future date. Oh, and in other news, you’re getting older and will eventually die, probably with some strong loss of dignity and loss of bowel control.

So… the only thing to do is to take the gift that is the 2 in the inevitable 4-2 series, and just delude yourself until it’s more important than the 4 that aren’t. Sixer Fan has a lot of practice in this. I’ve trained myself to forget every moment of the 2000 Sixers-Lakers Finals that doesn’t involve Allen Iverson stepping over Tyronn Lue like he’s a pile of dog droppings.

Oh, and for any Sixers fans that think the team is really confident that they are going to take Game 6 and make the series go the full 7? I’m on their e-mail list, and they’ve been spamming me to sell the Game 6 tickets… with the added benefit that I could win a shopping spree at a local supermarket. Now that’s confidence!
