NEW GERVAIS ISH!!

Ricky Gervais will be playing MSG on July 13, 14, and 15. He is probably Ciph and my biggest shared comedic influence. Absolutely brilliant.

Listen: The Ricky Gervais Show - 06/09/08

And here is an ad for his show in New York.

Ralph and Rosenberg Back at Libation Tonight–CLASSIC

IC me and ralph

The last one was one of the best parties I’ve been to in New York. This one will be more of the same. Some of the hottest chicks you will see at a hip hop event in New York. Libation is at 137 Ludlow (and Rivington) and the party cracks off at around 11 pm. COME HOLLA

CELTIC PRIDE

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Pause..I know..my mouth’s open)

Sweet 17!

What a feeling. I barely watched any of the game live last night. As it turned out I had to do more than host at SOBs. I had to supervise and arrange the show and it became very difficult to really keep a watchful eye on the Cs. After I watched for a few minutes in the second quarter, I knew, though.

I never wanted to say this while the series was still going on, but the Celtics are a MUCH better team than the Lakers. If they played 10 times, the Celts would win seven or eight of them. I sincerely believe that. This year the Celtics took six of eight from the Lake Show. To be honest, the Celtics were a notch above everyone this year. They played their worst stretch of basketball to start the playoffs, but by the end things were starting to click. Why? Because The Big Three are The BIg Three.

KG was a player I coveted for several years for exactly the reasons that we eventually won the championship. Can he disappear on offense sometimes? Sure. But he does not disappear from GAMES. His spirit and competitive drive are unmatched. He is so astounding in those respects that he took two other all-stars to a different level. Paul Pierce has always been great. He has never been a true leader, though. Not until KG got there. Talk about an intangible. KG makes his teammates physically and mentally better. That is incredible.

I may be most surprised with Ray Ray, though. Good old Jesus. WE LOVE YOU JESUS! I really thought that the Ray Allen that Danny Ainge traded for on draft night last year was a broken-down garbage pail kid version of the Ray Allen who made the Sonics and Bucks legit. I did not think he had it anymore. Boy did he shut me up? And I couldn’t be happier about it.

And what do the critics say to Doc Rivers now? Doc has never been the best in-game coach, but he is an awesome motivator and he kept this team remarkably tight considering how many strangers showed up to camp last fall. He deserves a ton of credit. Doc is a good man who is beloved by the people around him and it’s nice to see that pay off in any field–let alone pro sports

I feel like there are so many shout outs to give here. Rajon Rondo was a pick I completely maligned at first. I was not a fan of him as a freshman at Kentucky, but he turned out to be a man-child. Unbelievable season for Double R.

Kendrick Perkins has come such a long way. He has now put himself in that caliber of guys that you always will think about being a force in the playoffs and finals which bodes very well for this team’s future.

Powe, Cassell, and Posey all stepped up at different times. Especially Posey, who is a guaranteed three when he’s open and a shut-down defender. Eddie House. Oh Eddie House. I have always liked Eddie and he has been all over the league and it is so nice to see him in Boston and to have him step up when he did. He is a phenomenal shooter and he has a great attitude as well. This team is a very lovable dominant team–unlike other dominant teams from Boston–eh hemm.

As for Phil Jackson–he will have to wait another year (or three or four) to break Red Auerbach’s championship record. How appropriate is it that the Celtics kept him from breaking that mark?

The Celtics bandwagon is huge and I admit that it drives me crazy, but I also understand it. Who DOESN’T want to be down with the best?! CONGRATS BOYS! This is the first of many!

Make Red Proud

auerbach.jpgCould we get banner 17 on June 17th? I’ll tell you one thing–we better. I have no interest in seeing Kobe in a game 7.

You know why I’m worried? Because even I have started drinking the Kool Aid. I’ve started to believe we absolutely SHOULD win this series, which means it is the perfect time for Kobe to take all of our hearts and win two games in Boston. Not possible? I hope not.

I know one thing. I will be spending a lot of time in the basement office at SOBs by myself tonight. GO Cs!!!!!!!
