lowlights on youtube

or, youtube version

I think it actually looks worse on youtube. I gotta mess around with my laptop. I think it came with windows media center which I think can communicate with my xbox. I just have to do some research. In the meantime, I'll try a three point contest or something without the glare and see if it looks any better.

Oh yeah, and I don't have audio for that one because I had music on while it was recording. I just dropped the audio 'cause it's irrelevant. I'll make sure to have it for the real thing, though. I'm wondering if the videogame audience will resort to booing. I hope so.

Does this look any better?

Game Recap: white vs. red

Bonner: 18 for 31; and, 3 for 12 from behind the arc (1 of the made 3 was the game winner; 8 of the missed 9 were from at least two feet behind the arc). Plus, 3 blocks and 4 dunks.

Scalabrine: 6 for 22; and, 1 for 6 from behind the arc (3 of the missed 5 were from two or more feet behind the arc; 1 of the other 2 misses hit the front of the rim). He short-rimmed that three, 1 jumper and 5 layups/bunnies. Plus, 1 block and 1 dunk.

Recap:

It stays close for the first 4:40. Scalabrine dribbles around a lot, and takes the lead once or twice. With the game tied, however, Bonner hits a long jumper to make it 6-5; and, he never looks back.

There's a 14-0 run in which Scalabrine only touches the ball, maybe, twice. Then, losing 5-19, Scalabrine hits a three in Bonner's face. Now, 7-19, BS follows his momentum-breaking three by missing a jumper and putting a hand in the chest of Bonner during the game-winning shot. BS didn't even put in enough effort to get the dot.


Plus (I missed this in the lowlights): Bonner took two ill-advised jumpers from the corner. He missed both. The second one bounced out of bounds. Both players were standing right next to the ball when they clapped, then jogged back to the top of the key. Bonner, at about the elbow, remembered that he had to get the ball and turned around to go back for it. Truly ridiculous [it's a video game].

in the beginning there was...

Red vs. White and White vs. Red

The epic showdown between Matt Bonner and Brian Scalabrine begins with Bonner - a 71 overall rating - missing the do or die shot for ball. Scalabrine - rated at 64 - takes advantage of the opening possession by dribbling around a lot, then getting his first shot attempt swatted. He rebounds, then short-rims the put-back. This opening sequence pretty much sums up the match. Notice how hard Scalabrine falls for Bonner's pass-fake at the very end of the clip; then, think about that for a minute.

After a couple easy layups, MB is up by two. BS doesn't like that; so, BS makes MB pay. Not only does Scalabrine posterize Bonner; but, he also kicks the ball to the other end of the bleachers; and, he makes Bonner get it. Payback's a bitch, right? Yes, BS, it sure is...


On the very next play - Scalabrine's second chance at starting with the ball - Dr. Bonner performs a bit of an ego-ectomy to help Scalabrine with the swelling. Eerily similar to the last time BS had outs, I know. But, Bonner follows up this particularly nice swat with a long range... buzzer beater? Wait. There's no shot clock; and, if there were, it would be around 21 when he jacks this 30-footer. Again, fairly indicative of the rest of the game.

like birth, all over again

I'm in the blogworld. Look out... really, though, I don't have anything to say. Maybe someday I will. I just did this so I'd look more official when I comment on the blog(s) I read. Don't judge me.

Okay, judge me - I don't really care.
