The Finger Wag has retired

We were all at the bar last night enjoying a few drinks and watching basketball, when we noticed that someone was being carted off the floor during the Rockets/Blazers game.

Turns out, it was none other than Cookie Monster himself, Dikembe Mutombo. 

This quote from him pretty much seals the deal on him being done with the game.

"I'm going to need surgery. For me, basketball is over. I cried so much about it when I was laying on the floor."

Wow.  That really sucks.  So ends an 18 year career that saw him amass a shit ton of blocks to end up second on the all-time list. 

Good bye, Dikembe.  Your finger wags, Cookie Monster voice, shenanigans and honest to God goodwill towards poor African nations will be remembered

Hat tip: We are the Postmen

I blame T-Mac for everything too

Hat tip: The FanHouse

Apparently, T-Mac is cheekily accepting blame for everything that is going wrong with the series.

"It's my fault," McGrady said. "It's my fault we missed free throws. It's my fault we lost both games. Blame me. It's my fault we fouled to tie the game up. That's my fault. It's my fault they get easy layups. It's my fault we're not executing well on the offensive end. It's my fault a couple people in the stands ordered Heinekens and they got Budweiser. It's my fault. I'm sorry."

Obviously, he's tired of getting blamed for not getting out of the first round because he's the superstar. Fair enough, he could be as pissed off as Dirk.

I just wonder what the boys over at Dream Shake think about Fan House saying it's the team missing Rafer Alston. They love that guy.

Sex me Mutumbo

Incase you havn't seen this, its greatness.
