new rule: never bet against durant - bill simmons

Derrick Rose drives the lane for a spinning layup. The single smartest thing Coach K did: dumping Rajon Rondo before the tournament started. This team could only succeed because of the "young/energetic/undersized athletes rallying around Durant and having good chemistry" dynamic and it wouldn't have worked with Rose and Rondo (natural rivals) competing for minutes. Rondo was expendable for two reasons: can't shoot from outside (neither can Rose), can't shoot free throws (Rose can). And you didn't need both. The good news: Every Rose/Rondo game is going to be A-W-E-S-O-M-E this season.

From Russia with Love, I'm Still Here

Andrei Kirilenko, a Russian born NBAer known as AK 47 (a reference to his jersey number and not his affiliation with the Russian Secret Service), is easily one of the most stylistically unique players in the NBA.

This painting, unearthed by way of SLC Dunk, is tremendous and somehow captures his ability to channel both the powers of eagle and bear on court.

That, or it artfully addresses his Russian and American affiliations. Whatever the case, click HERE for some resounding proof of his prowess.

It is worth noting, that the dude takes the game so seriously that sometimes he even cries like a wounded animal when he plays poorly.

Good news for the Beargle though. I am told by my hoops guru (pictured above), that when an animal cries or whines excessively you simply include some White Chestnut Flower Essence (?) in the evening soup and everything is as right as rain.

And if this post doesn't toast your oats, catch recent posts by Dr. D or Roomie's succinct ode to Claude Chabrol.

Also, Mr. Phoenix gets all Andy Kauffman taking drinks with Elvis while being sport humped by Borat in Casey Affleck's NEWEST directorial opus.

Weekend is coming. Peace.

Block Party in Pictures

APT represented yesterday at Portland's annual Space Gallery Block Party. So nice to see such a hectic section of Congress Street blocked off, limited to foot traffic, keyboards, brick art, bikes, spray paint, psychadelic improv music, and small children. Check it:

NBA JAM!, Casanova

For the record, I don't play video games. Anymore.

But, there was a time when my fitness regiment consisted solely of a double cheeseburger and 2 hours worth of NBA JAM at the local multiplex. 1991, where did you go?

Now, EA Sports is rolling out a brand new version for the Nintendo Wii. Here are the East rosters for my hoop heads, and take a look at the art direction for all you hipster computer nerds and high flying wannabes.

More NBA Jam Videos

And for the record, the best American films are comic books. Get up on THIS mind altering look at the superspy genre.

I have been asleep at the blogger controls all summer long. But just like the leaves on the trees, the fall brings brightly colored transitions of all kinds for the Supa Dupa Crew of APT...most of us have to go back to work.

Dang.

So sit back and smile with Miss Missy because for some of us, it is hard to let go of this summer.
