Brian Scalabrine and Walter Hermann are the only white guys in the Eastern Conference

So I haven't been into this whole blogging thing for a few weeks. I apologize but I'm back, I think.

In the 240 minutes of basketball that has already been played in the five games of this Eastern Conference Finals, not one white athlete has played a single second. Even with probably two more games left, I think it's safe to assume that Celtics ginger kid Brian Scalabrine won't be leaving his courtside seat anytime soon. And I don't think the Pistons are rushing to activate their Fabio lookalike Walter Hermann by Friday either.


"If I wasn't so lame, I would call you guys racist!"

Unfortunately, I dont have John Hollinger's enthusiasm for researching to actually research if this is the first time such an occurrence has happened in NBA Playoff history, but I would definitely put my money on it. And I guess it shouldn't be so surprising either considering that eight of the thirty NBA teams have entirely African-American starting lineups (that's if you consider Mike Bibby black).

So a black senator from Hawaii is probably going to be our next president, Michael Jackson is now officially white, and the once Bird/McHaled Celtics have not played one Caucasian man in the playoffs. Well, at least Darko's doing his part.

Mike Bibby bandwagon is officially dead

Shrek-lookalike and Hawks guard Mike Bibby doesn't take Celtics fans (myself included) too seriously. After a 104-81 playoff loss in Boston, Bibby explained to reporters in his Kermit voice: "They were kind of loud at the beginning. But a lot of these fans are bandwagon jumpers trying to get on this now. I played here last year, too. And I didn't see three fourths of them. They're for the team now and they might get a little rowdy but that's about it."


Mike Bibby takes time out with Mike Bibby bandwagon.

Keep in mind, this is after Bibby went 2-for-10 shooting and continued his reign as the league's most ambiguously raced point guard. "That's Mike Bibby speaking his mind," Celtics god Kevin Garnett responded "I wouldn't say it's the smartest comment, but that's Mike Bibby." (Translation: Mike Bibby ain't shit.)

Honestly, why do professional athletes insist on trash talking Boston? Usually, some good smack talk is directed towards the Clippers and Raiders of sports, not the Celtics and Patriots. Bibby's comment is almost as sad as Chargers token Russian Igor Olshansky's manly "Who?" when asked about the undefeated Pats.

Anyways, as both a Lakers and Celtics man, I couldn't hate Bibby much more anymore. But I would at least have some sympathy for him if he still looked like a cancer patient.
