Yes, but then Manu was still touching it and was the last guy to touch it.

No. But damn, they really should be up 3-1, and Memphis is going to beat the Spurs, anyhow.

It was 90 in PDX yesterday. I'll take 70 and overcast so I don't have to turn on the sprinklers. It's only May. Way too early...

If GS does make it, can they beat Memphis?

No. Memphis is easily the best team in the West.

You're right, Portland wouldn't do that. But not only for the reason you're implying (or others will, if you're not). They wouldn't do that because they don't have to do gimmicky shit to get the crowd loud/into the game.

It's Al Kapone, Al Kapeezy Oh Boy!
The guy's actually been a big name around here for a while. Al Kapone and Mr. Sche are underground kings around here but don't have the kind of sound to catch on with a mainstream audience.
BTW - Here are some Al Kapone vids... all big hits in Memphis but nowhere else... (not going to embed to the videos because that takes up space)
Solo -
W/Mr. Sche -
No video but my favorite Kapone/Sche track, used to bump this one back in the day, still got it in the rotation (Kapone comes in at 2 min and kills it) -

At what point does it transcend a gimmick and become a part of the crowd's routine? It's not like it was a one-off gimmick. Here's a video from the Clippers series of the same chant but without Al Kapone actually coming out -

how the hell does Marc Gasol win DPOY but not get on the first team all defense?
CP/Allen/Bron/Ibaka and a tie between Noah and Chandler for first team. Flawed system

I don't know. That is messed up. I think Tony Allen or LeBron should have been DPOY though.

Because the media votes for DPOY, but the coaches vote for the defensive teams.

That's the cliche but it doesn't always work that way. Think Game 5 Pacers/Knicks in 1994- Miller scores 25 in MSG in 4th qtr and Pacers win but lose the series. Or 2010 NBA Finals. Or last year's ECF. It's a 7 ams series. Not a best of 5
Who votes for DPOY and who votes for all-defensive? It could be just different people's opinions? After all, the coaches didn't even pick Marc Gasol to be an All Star.

Tony Allen deserved the DPOY over Marc. I don't buy LeBron being given any defensive honors when the refs are too scared to blow a whistle on him though. How many games did he go this season without being whistled for a foul?
This is actually the second year in a row the DPOY wasn't a First Team defender. Last year the coaches had Tyson Chandler on the 2nd team as well.

Agreed, and even taking away the refs hes just not as good as advertised. His defense is kinda like when you're the last person to see a movie that captures the nation for a few months. You finally see it, and its very good, but it didn't live up to be incredible hype. I love stars who play defense so I respect him for that but I refuse to see something that's just not there.
