Duke beat UNC. Again. No biggie, that's just what Duke does.
Say what you want about the Dookies, go ahead. Yes they have no bench. Yes they live and die with the three(all of their field goals in the second half, save one, were from three). Yes it's very easy to hate them. Whatever. All I know is that they have three of the best players in the ACC and the entire team will D your ass up real quick like. Carolina looked flustered all night. UNC dropped 109 points on Maryland in College Park, yet Duke held them to 70 in Cameron.
And let me continue to express my hatred of UNC prima donna Rashad McCants. What a punk ass little bitch. Moping around on the court all night because his shot wasn't falling. Remember this beauty from last year? "I don't find J.J. too much of a threat besides shooting 3s, if he's off, he's off. If he's not making any shots, then I don't think he's going to be too much of a factor." So what happened after that? JJ stole the ball from him and got Duke the W then. And last night JJ was on McCants in the final seconds and kept him from getting the ball, ensuring the W yet again. Hate on Redick all you want.
He owns McCants.
Just like Duke owns UNC and
Coach K owns Roy Williams.
And how about newbie DeMarcus Nelson?
If that wasn't good enough, earlier in the night the C's came back from a 20 point deficit to beat the LA Paper Clips. Who spearheaded their comeback you ask? Gary Payton? Nope. Paul Pierce? Well he played a part, only one assist shy of a triple double. Raef LaFrentz? He hit a big three to give them the lead, but the catatlyst for their comeback was my boy Delonte West. 0 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists don't begin to tell you the poise this youngster played with last night. It was a sight to behold. Methinks he just signed Marcus Banks walking papers.
Side note: I clicked through to watch a bit of Lost last night and they had a flashback to Dominic Monaghan's character's past life in London. He was chatting up some rich bird in a pub and when they went back to her place afterwards he asked where her father (whom she lived with) was. She replied, "Oh, he traveled up to Slough to buy some paper company." Nice touch.
Just shut the fuck up already.

Also from LHB, when I saw something about someone starting a blog about "that Pespi girl", I knew exactly who they meant. She's a total hottie.
Was The Dream funding terrorists? My Blog Is Poop thinks the Post should run with the headline Hakeem Ola-jihad.
Ooh! Ooh! New Gorillaz! More here. I hate not having a sound card at work. :(
More new Beck. Check out the "E-Pro" Paza Remix of Bad Cartridge.
Microsoft Maps, still some bugs to be worked out.
This is why I moved from NYC. No way am I cool enough to attend things like this.
UNC plays at Maryland on February 27. Our ass-whipping was in Chapel Hill.
We beat Duke Saturday at 9. Then, presumably, we'll lose to crappy NCSTATE or UVA.
Wash rinse repeat.
I hate J.J. Redick. He'll be Bobby Hurley in 2 years.
