Marquis Daniels’ Stepfather Tased During Game 2

The stepfather of Boston Celtics guard Marquis Daniels was arrested and subdued with a stun gun during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Orlando Magic.

The Orlando police report shows 55-year-old Willie L. Buie was charged with resisting arrest with violence during Tuesday night's game. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss confirmed it was Daniels' stepfather.

Officers responded to a disturbance in a lower-level section during the second half. Police say they tried to escort Buie from his seat, but he refused, using expletives at officers and swinging his arms free. He eventually was escorted out near a security office but kept his hands under his body to avoid handcuffs. That's when police say an officer used a stun gun on Buie's back for about 5 seconds.

Marquis Daniels’ stepfather caused a little disturbance at the Celtics game the other night. Probably had a few too many beers. So what? At least Daniels’ stepfather wasn’t sleeping with Kevin Garnett’s wife or something like that, because that would pretty much be the equivalent of what’s going on in Cleveland with Delonte West and LeBron’s mom, right? And we all saw the good karma that was floating around the Cavaliers after that alleged incident. Yea, that karma presented itself in the form of a giant green leprechaun stomping on the collective manhood of the entire city of Cleveland. You think LeBron’s hanging around Cleveland with one of his teammates banging his mother? Ah, hell no.

In other news, who knew tasers would become such a fad at sporting events so quickly?

3 Things That Baffled Me (5/18)

1. The Brian Cushing Revote – Brian Cushing, a linebacker for the Houston Texans, won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award for the 2009 season, which was voted on in January. However, it recently came out that he tested positive for a performance enhancing drug (the same one that they bagged many Ramirez for last year), and the NFL decided to do a revote for the award. Cushing won the revote, but by a much smaller margin.

This same exact thing happened to Julius Peppers back in 2002, and they didn’t have a revote for his ROY award. One voter said it best, “If I had known in January when we initially voted that Brian Cushing had tested positive for a banned substance, I might not have voted for him. However, Cushing won the award in January, and I don't feel like we should revise history. I am concerned about the precedent.” I mean, if we’re having revotes, shouldn’t we revote on every major MLB award from like ‘96 to ‘05?

2. LeBron and the Cavs Give Up – I know he had a triple-double in Game 6, but was that not the worst triple-double you’ve ever seen? He had 9 turnovers, and he still looked passive on many occasions after his Game 5 no-show. And to top it all off, with the Cavs down only 9, facing elimination with over a minute remaining in Game 6, his team just flat out gave up. They didn’t even try to foul to extend the game. You think MJ would have ever let the happen? Not a chance in hell.

Let the “Summer of LeBron” begin. As much as I can’t stand listening to the media drool over the guy (who still hasn’t won anything yet), I am interested to see where he will end up. There’s going to be plenty of wild stories and speculation (a three way meeting between LeBron, Wade, and Bosh, and a packaged deal of LeBron and Coach John Calipari to the Bulls have already been rumored). Whatever ends up happening, it could change the landscape of the NBA for the next 10 years and beyond.

3. Bruins Collapse – A wise man once told me, “It’s better to be pessimistic, that way you’re either right, or pleasantly surprised.” Unfortunately, in the case of the Bruins, I was right. I saw this epic collapse coming in the middle of Game 5, where Boston got massacred 4-0. I knew they would lose the last 2 games, because that’s the kind of heartless, gutless performance I’ve become accustomed to watching from these Bruins over the years. This team needs a change at its very core, but I’d be baffled if it actually happened.

Did This Kid Really Just Say Wade, Amare, Lebron, Bosh, Boozer Are All Going To The Heat?

I Just soiled myself...twice. This kid just said with a straight face that the Miami Heat are bringing in Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer, and Lebron James next season. I don't know about you Dwyane, but I'd get a pen real fucking quick and sign that contract. Move over John Hollinger and induct this kid into the NBA insider Hall of Fame.

P.S. My ass is still leaking...

Typical Cav fans

Can you believe these pathetic LeBron James's fans from Cleveland actually thought they had a shot to get on F2DD? Yes, they did request a page and a feature.

And yes, I may be giving them a feature, but we all know this feature ain't getting them anywhere just like that MVP trophy did for LeBron.

Bill Simmons Is A Twitter Genius

Bill Simmons, being the sports/life wiz that he is, has decided to take advantage of Celtics tweeters by creating a "Celtics Chants" twitter account.  The objective behind this idea is to get all fans on the same page with obnoxiously catchy chants.  Fans will be able to submit ideas by mentioning @CelticsChants in their tweets, and then the best will be chosen and retweeted by Simmons. With the explosion of twitter on mobile devices, fans will know exactly what to chant at what time.  It's pure genius.  I'm not sure if Simmons is the first to do this, but he damn sure if the right dude to take action, and for that he deserves at least a HJ from every Celtics dancer.  By the looks of it, fans are quickly jumping on board, compiling over 6,000 followers in a matter of days.  Now let's ream out 'Bron 'Bron and sink the Cavs ship yet again. Hey Lebron, how about...#Boo-kies-pissed-off

Daily Dumbass: Lebron James Rapper

I don't know who this kid is or what he was thinking, but this is one of he most pathetic attempts at a parody song that I've ever seen. Good job bro, got yourself a spot on F2DD as the Daily Dumbass.

Shouts to barstool for posting this earlier!

NY Bribing 'Bron 'Bron With Boobies & Beef

TMZ: May 11, 2010: 

 "LeBron James just got the sweetest offer in the history of mankind to move from Cleveland to the New York Knicks -- a lifetime of free stripper action.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star -- who will become a free agent after this season -- is getting million-dollar offers from several franchises to make the switch to their team ... but if LeBron inks a deal with the Knicks, New York's premiere strip club Scores says it'll give the basketball star: 

- A free lifetime of lap dances

- A "LeBron James Day" when all the strippers will wear his jersey

- And free food for life at the strip club's very own steakhouse

Good luck competing with that Utah!  

Well Lebron, you've got quite the offer served fresh on a NY platter.  I mean how can you beat free lap dances, steaks, and honey dips wearing your jersey on a designated Lebron James day?  At some point you have to cut your losses and realize that life's necessities don't include a ring. Food, a city wide day in tribute to you, and strippers are a token of survival.  Sure you may not have the ice to flash while some dip is grinding on your junk, but at least you'll have a nice cut of beef at all times, right?

New Nickname for LeBron: Queen James… as in Drama Queen

Is anybody falling for this bullshit about how LeBron’s right elbow hurts? Michael had the flu, Kobe’s got the broken finger, and now LeBron is saying, “Hey, look at me. I’m banged up too.” Does he really need anymore attention? Knock it off with the wincing after every shot, and the lefty free throws. You’re fine. We all know you’re the MVP, give it a rest. As a result of the LeBron media frenzy, now we’ll have to listen to countless sideline updates from Craig Sager and Erin Andrews during the Celtics-Cavs series about how LeBron’s elbow is holding up. In all seriousness, what’s the over/under on the number of sideline reports on LeBron’s elbow during this series: 17? 18? 342?

Here’s a thought. If your elbow is really bothering you, why don’t you quit all the theatrics, the dancing, the flexing, etc? There’s no need to put all that added stress on your tender joints.

Look, nobody is falling for all your crap. We all know you’re going to average 35 points a game against the Celtics. But hey, at least now you have a built in excuse when you lose.

Quit the drama queen act. Just shut up and play ball, Queen James.

3 Things That Baffled Me Last Week

I’m going to start doing a weekly thing every Monday/Tuesday where I focus on 3 things that blew my mind from the previous week. We’ll see how long I actually keep up with it, but here is the first installment.

1. Ben Roethlisberger Gets Off Again – How many girls does he have to rape before he gets locked up? Four? Five? The Georgia District Attorney officially announced today that no criminal charges would be brought against Roethlisberger. So he’s now 2 for 2 in avoiding sexual abuse charges. It’s crazy that he continuously gets away with this disgusting behavior with no repercussions. Hopefully, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Roethlisberger, despite the lack of a conviction. I wonder how much money Big Ben had to throw at this problem to make it go away. He definitely had to pay off the girl, and probably the club owner and some investigators as well. He must be down millions and millions of dollars trying to keep people quiet about his “incidents.” Who says money can’t solve problems?

2. Billy Payne, (Augusta National Golf Club chairman) – Before the Masters began, Payne dropped this bomb on Tiger Woods: "It is not simply the degree of his conduct that is so egregious here; it is the fact that he disappointed all of us, and more importantly, our kids and our grand kids. Our hero did not live up to the expectations of the role model we saw for our children.” Sure, Tiger Woods deserves criticism. A lot of criticism. But is Billy Payne really the right person to be doing it? After all, this is the chairman of Augusta National, which doesn’t allow female members, calling out Tiger for disrespecting women. Pretty hypocritical, no? (I swear I had the idea for this post days ago, but Bill Simmons wrote something similar today, so I’m mentioning his name so I don’t get accused of ripping him off).

3. Tim Povtak (NBA FanHouse writer) on LeBron James – I was browsing around today, and came across an article by Tim Povtak entitled LeBron James Owes Fans a Refund. Throughout the article, he criticizes LeBron for sitting out a few games because the Cavaliers already have the best record in the NBA locked up. Povtak says he owes it to the fans to be out there every night if physically able. He goes on to say that LeBron has lost his vote for MVP because of it. Now, I don’t know who Tim Povtak is, or if he really does have an MVP vote, but it’s pretty clear that he’s an absolute clown. As I’ve said multiple times on F2DD, I am a LeBron hater, but this is just ridiculous. As much as I dislike LeBron, he is the clear cut MVP (with respect to Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard), and just because he chose to sit out a few games to rest up for the playoffs shouldn’t change that. I’m pretty sure every Cavs fan out there is all for LeBron sitting out, if he thinks it is going to give them a better chance of winning a championship. No one in Cleveland is complaining about LeBron missing a few meaningless games, I can assure you that.

Message to LeBron: Get a Ring or Be Quiet

LeBron James is on pace to claim his second scoring title after topping the league in 2007-08, when he was a year removed from leading the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals.

Given the choice of either, though, James was emphatic in claiming he could win the scoring championship at will.

But it's the team titles that hold the key, he said.

"It's not important to me at all. I mean right now our team is in a position to try to clinch throughout the whole playoffs," James said of home-court advantage Thursday in San Antonio, where the Cavaliers play the Spurs on Friday night. "That's what position we're in right now. If we can do that, that will be more important than a scoring title. I mean, individual accolades take care of [themselves]."

"If I really wanted to," James said, "if I really wanted to be the scoring [champion] every single year -- every single year -- I could really do it. But it doesn't matter."

I wish LeBron would just shut up. Really, just shut up. “If I really wanted to be the scoring champion every single year, I could really do it.” You know what LeBron? If Kobe Bryant really wanted to, he could too. So could Kevin Durant. So could Carmelo Anthony. Great players sacrifice their own stats for the benefit of their team. You are not the only one who does it. So just shut your mouth, play basketball, and prepare to choke away the playoffs once again. We already have every single media member telling us how great you are, we don’t need to hear it from you too.

I also want to propose a motion to eliminate the nickname “King James.” Generally, kings wear lots of jewelry, and last time I checked, LeBron didn’t have any. So, once again: LeBron, get a ring or be quiet.

LeBron to Switch Numbers, Needs a History Lesson

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James fans, get ready to make some room in your closet for No. 6 jerseys. James told The Plain Dealer on Monday that he's filed the paperwork with the NBA office to switch his jersey number from No. 23 to No. 6 next season. He had to make the decision this week, the deadline to make the request to the NBA is Wednesday.

"I've done it," James said. "I already sent it in. I'm going to be No. 6."

**I could completely see David Stern pulling the strings behind the scenes here. The NBA is going to lose $400 million this season, and new jersey sales will help bring in some much needed revenue. It worked with Kobe, why not LeBron? But can’t you see Stern whispering in Kobe’s ear, “Hey Kobe, you know who else changed numbers? Michael Jordan. Maybe you should consider it.” And then, “Hey LeBron, Kobe changed his number. Don’t you want to be like Kobe?” This is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. Kobe and LeBron are two of the most image-conscious, history-chasing players in the NBA.**

LeBron James on changing numbers (Nov. 2009): "I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized some way soon. There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwayne Wade if there wasn't Michael Jordan first.”

LeBron James has always claimed to be a student of the game, but these comments show that he is just an ignorant clown. If he wants to change his number from 23 to honor his hero, Michael Jordan, that's fine. But to pick number 6 is ludicrous, not to mention insulting to the history of the game. Why, you might ask? Because Bill Russell wore number 6.

For those of you who, like LeBron, need an NBA history lesson, here are the basics on Bill Russell. As a player, Russell won 11 championships with the Boston Celtics (and as a result the NBA Finals MVP trophy is now named after him). Russell was a pioneer for African Americans in the sport of basketball and was the first bona fide black superstar in the NBA. He also has the distinction of being the first black head coach in NBA history. Throughout his career, Russell was victim to abundant racism and hatred, which he overcame to become the greatest winner in the history of sports. Bill Russell paved the way for black basketball players. Michael Jordan just followed in his footsteps.

So Lebron, let me correct you. Without Bill Russell there would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwayne Wade, and no Michael Jordan. Get your facts straight, Mr. Student-of-the-Game. And just for the record, Bill Russell has more rings than Michael Jordan, Kobe, and you combined. So King James, I say to you… Get a ring or be quiet.

Antawn Jamison Shines in CLE Debut

In the words of the great Charles Barkley, "That was turribleeeeee"

Charlotte 110 defeats Cleveland 93 

"Antawn Jamison basically needed Mapquest to find the hoop.  Luckily he was in his old stomping grounds cause he's going to need some consoling after this one." -Jalen Rose

Solid start Antawn, keep it up.  

BREAKING NEWS: CAV'S ACQUIRE SEBASTIAN TELFAIR!

Shotgun Slangin' Sebastian

All this buzz about Antawn Jamison going to Cleveland, but Sebastian Telfair is really the key in this deal.  I'm pretty sure Danny Ainge paid off Telfair to jack up the chemistry in the Cleveland locker room.   We all know Sebass packs the heat.  Hey, ya never know maybe he'll go Gilbert on them and bring a 9 milli into the locker room to show off to Lebron, Lebron gets caught with it, charged with illegal possession of firearms, suspended indefinitely by D-Sterny, sentenced directly to the slammer bypassing the court system, just in time for the Celtics to make a run in the NBA playoffs...ANYTHINGS POSSIBLEEEEEEE (making KG face while yelling).

Lebron Backup Dancer for Drizzy Drake

First off, they couldn't even give Drizzy Drake a riser to stand on? Second of all, Lebron, ur a bigfatjuicy.  You duck out of the dunk contest then you are suddenly a backup dancer for Drake?  At least grab a mic if you're gonna be on stage.  And where are the dancers? Cowboys cheerleaders?  Jesus give us some eye candy at least.  

Old or New?

Congrats to McDonald's, taking home the gold for this years Super Bowl commercials. Bird, MJ was a classic, but Dwight vs Lebron made this señor chuckle.
