Big Night in the D-League

Print[Note by Ridiculous Scott, 04/09/09 6:57 PM CDT ] We're liveblogging. Keep up in the comments. Should be a dandy. Contribute if you're cool.
Hopefully I'm writing this early enough to let all parties involved that Futurecast needs to be working tonight, and working well. If you shut it down all last night so I didn't have to get stuck with a frozen Marty Tirrell and his scarf with audio for 20 minute intervals tonight, thanks Futurecast Team. If not, I'm breaking something.
Reno @ Los Angeles - LA has the chance to play spoiler this game. They beat Utah the other night to all but guarantee that the Flash won't be picking their opponent. Tonight, they can knock Team Boom Tho out of the playoffs. In my dream scenario, Sun Yue would return from injury to swat a Rod Benson jumper off the backboard as time expires and the game will come down to a Marat Kogut team huddle. It'll be controversial, yes, but awesome.
In other, uber-related news, Rod Benson breaks the arms of high school girls! And he blogs! About breaking high school girls arms! Zoinkz! No call-up now, right, JRose?
Dakota @ Iowa - This game is huge. Huge. Biggest game ever in Iowa Energy history, actually, according to the lovely graphic on their website. Whichever team wins clinches a playoff berth and is put in the driver seat of the Central Division (home playoff game, pick the opponent). Whichever team loses could be knocked out of the playoffs if they lose the next night. It could get ugly. I'm going to break it down for you - if Dakota's wings play well and they limit Demetris Nichols, they'll win. If Iowa is able to somehow find a big man that can compete with Rich Hendrix and Nichols shoots the lights out, they'll win. More in-depth preview here - Thanks "Captain" Lou Babiarz!
Leave your thoughts here today.

Also, Rod's looking to do something to make it up to this girl
I’m offering him the chance to offer her a guest spot on my podcast. Still watiing to see if we can use Rumble’s basement as the production studio before this becomes official however. Also – gotta see if anyone would listen.

Did you steal them from the Stamps?
And I quote: “They are en route to our office and I can try to get you a picture when I see them come in but I don’t know when that will be.”

I knocked over the semi-truck this morning
Fast and the Furious style. Oddly enough, a packet of 15 curly fries was stuffed into each coozie. I think they were trying to catch the interest of the Idaho fanbase.
Frozen? cold? Hardees style? Details. That's what makes this blog. Give us details!

Yes they were frozen...
lightly salted and peppered. Each individual frie was stamped with the image of what either looks like Jesus or Sun Yue. In retrospect I’m not sure there’s a difference. I also noted a hint of Old Bay Seasoning.
That's more like it.

Topic of discussion from Rumble:
We should have a Reed and Write contest!
Start everyone off with a common beginning…"Sorry I have not updated my blog in so long but I have really busy and I have many exciting things to share with you…" and let everyone take it from there.
Winner gets tickets to a Bismark spa of his/her choice!

It was from Rumble
I typed none of that, and I clearly corrected the Ice Man when he spelled it incorrectly.

Yeah I got laid a smackdown
for my misspelling of one of the top five “I didn’t know that was a state capitol” state capitols.
Okay Reed and Write I Will
Sorry I have not updated my blog in so long but I have been really busy and I have many exciting things to share with you. As the D-League playoffs approach you can really feel the buzz in the air. This is the time of year when player development is occuring all around us! Just take Sun Yue for example. Here is a youg man with more drive, passion, 6’9"-ness, left-handed-ness, and needing to play in America-ness than many of the players in the NBA right now!
I have many other great things to talk about. Our referees. They are fantastic! Just the other night I had Marat Kogut at my house for afternoon tea and he was sharing with me what a delightful time he has calling games in North Dakota. He told me that the rainy Bismark weather has no effect on his mood or the likelyhood of him calling Technical Fouls! Can you believe it! How amazingly professional is he? He is truly a wonderful addition to the D-league family.
In other other news, I have been talking with the ownship of the new Springfield club and I think we’ve finally decided on a name. Not to spoil the news for you loyal fans but the club owners and I have decided upon….. The Irate Iguanas! Isn’t that exciting, I can’t wait to see those green unis on D-League courts next year.
Well, that’s all for me this week, but I hope you will tune in next time for more Reed and Writes, hehehe, pun. Next time I’ll be getting geared up for the first round of D-League playoff action. Hope to see you then,
D-Rizzle

This does win, barely.
Irate Iguanas though? I’d rather you have went with the Orange Iguanas, from Legends of the Hidden Temple. I don’t need all of my mascots to be mad.
D-Rizzle would never spell Bismarck without a C.
I do like 6’9"-ness.
Overall, great effort. Can we make these weekly?

I went with Irate Iguanas...
to shadow the theme created by the Mad Ants. They too are angry. Please excuse my misspelling of Bismarck. I was thinking of Otto Van Bismarck, but my German spelling is worse than my English.
No worries
I understood the correlation with the Mad Ants. I like it. Just saying, we need more colors in the D-League. Last year, the mascot names were Mad Ants and Big Horns. This year they can be Red Claws and Orange Iguanas. Just keep it uniform.

You can use the basement...
…I am storing Luke Jackson down there until we need him though.
I plan to get on line at 3:00 on Friday at Qwest arena so I don’t miss out on my Livingston Budweiser Beer Coozie (I already have a shrine built for it). If the fries are indeed included as Iceman suggests, I might have to set up a separate shrine for them as well.
I will never use my Livingston Coozie with my JamesOn Go-Cup. Too much risk.
The Dodge “Shot at Destiny Truck” I believe is NEON YELLOW. Seriously, this guy came out in his hoops gear ready to roll…had so much time he got two half court tries, the first one hit the back iron. He could definitely be on the receiving end of Sun Yue’s dimes.
Go to Idahostatesman.com to vote for Rumble in his epic on-line battle with Yogi/Hamms Beer Bear, the Idaho hockey teams mascot. Right now, “I don’t care” is pulling about 80% of the vote.
Iceman has already won the “Reed and Write” contest.
Speaking of D-Rizzle, his tie matched his suit – impeccable.
Speaking of impeccable, you would think that the Stamps could have got the beer distributor to throw in 500 Joel Abelson Wine Cooler Coozies for fans 501-to-1000. That way I could get on line later, like 4:30 or so.
One more thing about the Showcase, the local internet company that does the future casts here was doing it for local teams from back in the day they used telegraph wire and Morris code. That way RS, when you are working for the Vipers you won’t have to miss a thing next year.
Hmm
You may want to camp out near Joel’s apartment. Word on the street is he intercepted the second shipment of Livingston coozies and is currently Michiganing the coozies, along with changing them into Wine Cooler Coozies, as per your suggestion (he reads the blog!)
I appreciate the use of the basement. Believe me, we’ll disappoint you, but it will be with our utter brilliance and wit. Does it have a catchy name yet? “Good evening D-League and Sun Yue fans, welcome to _________!” Seems important.
D-Rizzle has style. No one’s going to deny that. I’m told he brings an assistant with him to trim his goatee after every meal.
I think the Vipers are pretty well set. They’ve got 2 PR-type dudes, while some teams have zero. Unfortunately, I’m going to devote the rest of my life to lawn mowing and D-League blogging.

Boo NBC
I can only get into The Big Bang Theory and Three and A half Men. Otherwise, only futurecast. And Stargate HD1.

My mistake
I’ve been futurecasting it, so it’s been blurry on the title screen.

Your boy in khakis

Hahaha
and that is what makes a D-league game a D-league game. In an NBA game there would be some excited, drunk college student screaming or making a dumb face. In the D-league we’ve got chubs with his shoes off and Khaki shorts on.
I think they mean dip as in when they bend their knees to shoot and flip as in when they flip their wrists to shoot the ball.
Shucks!
They had so much promise too!

That's what I gong for
We’ve got a new comedy club. I gong them when they suck. Or when they’re bad sportsmen. I am a really great judge of character.

I told their GM
C-Mak that I’d be there if they host a playoff game. They clinched the central.

That's going to be a long drive.
At least you’ll be able to actually Live Blog. Assuming you want to.
If this isn't liveblogging
I don’t wanna be right.

Well guys it’s been real. I’m off for now. I just have one question… what is all this talk about Will Conroy? Is he actually a bad guy and if so, why did he get the sportsmanship award? I thought that post was a joke until I saw it on D-League.com.
Haha
I thought it was a joke too when I first heard about it. He gets in fights with teammates and is known as a bad teammate. He emailed me the other day and told me he’s a really nice guy and I should be nice to him. Then he added me to his Fav 5. We’re friends now.

Here's a snippet!
I really just wanted u to know that I’ve never ever had a bad attitude I love the game! And I put a lot into it! And sometimes my competitiveness can seem like I have a punkish attitude! But really I have great relationships with all my teammates. U can ask david monds! I’m like the team jokester! I just really don’t like to lose as u can expect from mostly all athletes! I never want to be seen as a guy that has a bad attitude! At the end of the day I respect everyone! Esp coaches elders and my peers!

It's all amazing
We chatted today for a bit too. I wonder if he’d wanna meet me in Iowa?

Just hope he doesn't read these boards.
And I’m sure you guys could have a lovely evening at the Cheesecake Factory.
Well Gang...
…impressive effort!
The SB Nation needs to make it so you can post with a mobile…I felt like I do with Landiggity’s Twitter, able to lurk but not able to touch…
Later…Rumble
PS: Mayor of Boise proclaimed tomorrow as Randy Livingston Day. EPIC! See you at the parade!
You're out already?

Thanks for stopping in Rumble
Next time, stay, chat awhile. Be sure to pick us up a Randy Livingston Rolling Beer Cooler at the parade.
Also
They’re working on getting mobile posting. I’m told.

Niceee,
We’ve broken the 350 threshold. Even without Rumble’s mobile posting, though he always adds something to the mix.
Would have been epic
had Rumble been around. Actually, still epic.

I'm pretty sure this counts as epic.
Can’t believe Jon L missed out on this too. There wasn’t even a Toro’s game tonight.
Jon L
disappointed me tonight. Didn’t he update his Twitter status to let me know where he went .

You’ve got recaps to write. And it’s my day off tomorrow. So I’m going to get drunk, maybe craft some more photoshops for you.
Haha
Sounds good. Two recaps. Should be fun.

Don't feel like reading all this
What’s the Dakota playoff scenario now?
In with a win or a Sioux Falls loss and out with a loss and two Sioux Falls’ wins?
Not necessarily
I’ll consult with Tom. He’s on the plane back from Iowa right now. If SIoux Falls wins twice, we end up tied. But probably 3 or 4 way tie. So it’ll be confusing

Okay but
Don’t we own the season series 5-2 with Sioux Falls? So Sioux Falls can’t pass us…
And Reno and Albuquerque are eliminated.
I’ve got to be wrong, though, because if that’s right, we’re clinched and I’m pretty sure we’re not.
